What are your guys predictions for the game on saturday?
Who will tag hird?
Who gets lloyd?
on the other side
solomon or lucas will probably get tredrea, jacobs goes to fullback and lucas/bolton at chf - hopefully bolton doesn't play on tredrea as i don't think he has the strength to contain him.
fletcher out is a big factor, i would have been confident of escaping with the win with him playing now not quite so.
bombers by 12 in a tough physical match.
I would hope Paxman gets Lloyd, his traditional fullback style is more suited to cutting off his leads than Wakelins' run-out-of-defence play. But that is my opinion, what I think is more likely is that Wakelin will get Lloyd. And Hird? I'd say Carr or Kane Cornes. Although I'd give Shaun Burgoyne a go on him due to the height advantage Hird would have over Carr or Cornes.
As to who would stand Tredrea, well I'm not too sure on the way your players can use their strength, but Lucas appears the best physical match-up. Tredrea is 194/95, Bolton 194/88, Solomon 188/95 and Lucas 192/93. And Lucas is definitely more experienced than Solomon and Bolton.
Cornes (kane) would be my choice to start on Hird, but i'd also like to see Gav or Dimma spend a little time reintroducing themselves to him.
I'd start Paxman on Llyod, but i reckon Choco will go with Wakelin, the first quarter in that match up will be telling, the midfield will also have a fair part to play in the outcome of that particular match up and the game.
Tredders must be so happy that Fletcher always seems to get Port fever and gets rubbed out/injured in the lead up to our games, which generally leaves him to stand an undermanned opponent, who it will be i dont know that's Sheedy's problem!
