Important to consider before two top teams go head to head.

Geelong are missing Joel Selwood (knee), Gary Ablett (quarantine), Rhys Stanley (groin) and Jack Steven (jaw).

Richmond have no David Astbury (knee), Shane Edwards (quarantine) and Dion Prestia (ankle).

It’s pretty even. Both teams have performed just fine missing key personnel.

Selwood, interestingly, is in full training but Geelong are keeping him on ice. One eye on the finals.
