I reckon Kennedy is named sub, if fit.

Based purely on the assumption that Voss might want him to have some touches at AFL level under his belt, in case he needs to start later in the finals.

I'm not totally averse to them playing Pitto if the MC believe it is beneficial but I'm not sure where Harry has played for 6 years is overly relevant. When you consider the overwhelming majority of those years we were crap. So I'm probably not going to use them as a measure.
The one year we are making finals, we've won 100% of games without Harry and less than 50% with him in the side. The games we won were against 3 top 8 sides and the game he went off in the first quarter injured, we beat a top 2 side that had won 13 straight. I'm not saying that's Harry's fault but more a reflection on how 3 tall forwards impact our team.

It's not a personal pot on Harry. Nothing would make me happier than to see him fire up and be a match winner. It's about minimising the deficiencies of players and translating that to success.
I don't believe his "strengths" are sufficient at the moment. And the fact he was tried in the ruck suggests to me either Harry or the MC have similar concerns. If he plays and we play Pitto/TDK, we're playing 3 tall forwards. 2 that are shitful shots at goal.
Yes Pitto is physical, TDK is athletic and Harry is a good mark on the lead but the negatives as a collective outweigh the positives structurally IMHO.

Considering the overall needs of the team, I would argue that the 2nd ruck position is more important to our structure than the 2nd key forward. At the moment, Harry is either a permanent forward or not in the team, IMO. The MC should have tried Harry as 2nd ruck earlier in the season if they intended to play him there in the finals. He hasn’t played there all year (prior to Rd 24) and, as far as I can recall, he hasn’t played there since 2017. He has never shown any aptitude for the position. He can work on developing his ruck craft over the preseason, not in an elimination final.

Yeah people are talking about it being a choice between Pittonet and a small, but it isn’t necessarily.

Having said that, it would be a gutsy decision to drop Harry.

It’s a conundrum. The solution is silvagni. I think we are perfectly balanced with him playing third tall / second ruck in place of Pitto. Unfortunately he won’t be available. Do we take the risk on him in week 2?

based on that - taking into account harry's form. i wouldn't name him in the team for swans.
