What concerns me regardless of what team we put onto the field is that the two best performing teams going around at present and ones that arguably provide the biggest obstacle to repeating our heroics from last season are Geelong and Collingwood. if we were too come up against a Geelong in the finals despite results this year, might there still be a bit of residual Geelong concern about what we might still be able to bring to a final's match?
But coming up against Collingwood in a final? I agree we were in it for large parts of the game and were overrun in the last but if past results are anything to go by, when I checked since 2017, Goodwin's record against the Pies is 2 wins for 7 losses with an average loss of just shy of 24 points. I realise finals are a different beast and past results are not necessarily predictors of future ones. But.... would Collingwood be particularly worried coming face to face again with the Dees at any stage of the finals? There's no scar tissue for this group of Pies and probably a great deal of confidence that they will find a way to beat the Dees whatever team structure we put onto the park!
Demons will win the flag in 2022.
