My memory of Robinson is mainly him laying on the ground demanding frees, but that does seem to fit the Hodge/Hawthorn "hard nut" mould.

I can respect Hodge but Robinson is just weak dog, goes for cheap shots

Charlie Cameron tends to go pretty hard (but fair) at our players. Must be hangover from his crow days
 
Definitely happy to face them after they've had a win rather than a loss.

Keep it away from Hipwood and Cameron as much as possible and we will pinch this.

Of course, we are dealing with expectation this week so most of the game will be played between the ears.
 
Dooogz on Hipwood Billy up forward. Oh and FFS please have your kicking boots on this week Ports.
None of what killed us at the Gabba earlier this year. A game we could've should've won if we'd have kicked straight.
Zorko and Neale are major worries. Tough game this one.

Dougals a forward and always has been, his years in defence were a waste, Hipwoods main game is his running ability so i'd have burton or clurey on him

I have no idea what to expect from us this week.

When we last played them we were clearly the best team for 3 quarters. They jumped us early and we ended up throwing away a match winning lead in the last. However that's us in a nutshell. Unpredictable, can go missing when the heat is on, can dominate territory for little reward, can conceed scores extremely easily to fast ball movement. The other thing is that since then they've only really improved and their confidence is rising.

Can we win. Of course we can, we've beaten Geelong and WC in Perth, but who in the world knows what we'll dish up.
 
If we play a tagger the week after we absolutely dominated a solid midfield unit by having all our mids be attacking (thus making their mids need to be accountable for ours) - I'll prolapse.

Can't help but hope a tagger does get played now

Bookies have us winning and they're not known for their generosity

How many games over the last 5 years would've we started hot favourites at home only to get rolled? Maybe 15-20? None of the normal rules apply to this team.
 
Brisbane should be going into this game as favourites. They exceedingly close last time they played at AO and they are far better this season. Can’t see us winning this one.

Robinson is one of those weird ones. An absolute campaigner but the media absolutely love him.
Cant stand him. Full credit that he gets the most outta himself though. He's BOG average. Was actually surprised a couple of years ago he was playing still.

Changes since Rd 3 compared to the showdown team
Amon for Boak
Hartlett for Drew
Dixon for Ryder

But Rozee and Duursma have played another 12 games, Butters another 11. Ollie was playing his first game for the year. Burton and Lycett have played another 10 games or so in Port's system.

There should be a decent improvement on Rd 3 by us. Arguably the same for Brisbane.

I’d really like to see Marshall play even though he wasn’t accurate in front of goal.

Charlie + Dougal + Marshall will be very difficult to manage.
