Not many experts predicted these teams to be top-four bound, but West Coast and Collingwood have overcome significant adversity to be only one win away from hosting a preliminary final. The resilient Eagles are playing a brand of football that stacks up at home or on the road, expect to regain spearhead Josh Kennedy (shin) and should be close to full-strength, apart from Nic Naitanui (knee) and Andrew Gaff (suspension). The Pies defied a crippling injury list to clinch third spot, earning Nathan Buckley plenty of plaudits. Reinforcements could be on the way if Adam Treloar (hamstring) and Jeremy Howe (thigh) are fit but the Pies will rely heavily on unheralded types and an improved defensive system to pull off their first interstate finals win since 2008.
West Coast
- The Eagles will have to try something around stoppages to negate Brodie Grundy’s enormous ruck influence. Willie Rioli flies under the radar as a centre clearance specialist and the electric small forward could be thrown into the middle more often.
- Josh Kennedy’s brilliance overshadows his footy nous and leadership but his return will help organise West Coast’s forward line to create space and isolate Collingwood’s defenders one-out.
- Mark Hutchings has locked away a spot in the best 22 as a run-with midfielder who can still find the footy. He went to Steele Sidebottom last time, held him to an equal season-low 18 touches and will probably go to the Pies gun again.
Collingwood
- Levi Greenwood is often sent to tag the opposition’s most dangerous midfielder and could be gearing up for a shutdown job on West Coast star Luke Shuey.
- The Pies would be studying how nimble forwards have troubled West Coast’s intercept marking machine Jeremy McGovern recently. Look for Collingwood’s attempts to drag him out of position and catch McGovern on the break with speed.
- Collingwood’s undermanned backline struggled to contain West Coast’s power forwards Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling last time, so expect high-flying Jeremy Howe to return and come across to support Jack Madgen and Tom Langdon in the air at every opportunity.
