Richmond Grand Final Squad.

[Tigerheart]

Out : Hart(rookie)
Homewood

In : Holland
Biddiscombe.

Experience over youth...apparently Richmond are keen to win this one. And why not ? Hopefully the final team will involve a straight swap of Homewood for Dutchy, leaving Huddo, Bidders, Millsy and Hyde to carry the drinks.

[CJH]

Expect Holland to take Tredrea, Hall/Vardy to take Lade/Primus/French (whoever is resting) and Zantuck on Chad Cornes.

Ottens will play in the ruck and will run off Primus.

Richo to play as a sole set forward with Otto drifting and Andrew Kellaway providing an option. Krakouer, Rodan and Houlihan will gratefully accept the crumbs.

The real battle will be in the midfield. Whoever wins here will win the game. Both forward/defensive lines are roughly equal in terms of ability and matchups so given equal supply of the ball (both in quantity and quality), the match should end up with scores very close.

Eke out an advantage in the midfield and you should win.

Crucial to this is the Ottens / Primus duel. These two players should be able to dictate the terms on which the game is played. The winner of this duel will tip the scales in favour of the respective midfield.

Hope Otto Matches it with Primus
Onballers a concern, Port have more pace,need to stifle onball runners with a hard tackling game,work rate & hard work
our forwards more potent but must convert, can not allow opposition to Capitalise on miss shots
Our Defence capable, our height will help negate Port Aeriel Strength
All in all should make for a great game as no real standout Advantage for either side
Game possibly Won in the Coaches Box.
