Rodney Eade used to play Lindsay Gilbee on dud talls and burn them on the rebound. We should be doing the same thing this week with Dale.

Have Keath or Khamis as sub in case we break another big guy during the game.
 
Coaching for this game will be very interesting. If we roll our sixth forward up as a midfielder hawks will ensure Sicily is the spare and will dominate like he is against the Pies.

Player for player we are a better team than them but if we allow them to set up for their game which is intercept and start their scoring chain through linking up from intercepts we will be in big trouble.

Need to have a plan for Sicily or it will be Geelong/Stewart all over again. Dominate possession can’t score and get burned on transition.

If we do roll our sixth forward up will need our fifth forward to go to Sicily and create a 2 v 1 at worse

This.

Stop worrying about the oppo and turn defence to offence.
 
Hawthorn currently 44 points up in the final quarter against Collingwood. This is a good omen as it lessens the chances of Hawthorn having an upset win against us.

Amazing how often we play the hawks late in the season in Tassie, last round in 22, second last in 21 cost us ta top 4 finish now 3 last round in 23. This game spells danger with a capital D. the Bont will get a hard tag.

I take that to mean they'll still win ... just that it won't be an upset. Right?

Will give others the opportunity to stand up and be counted (excluding Libba who always stands up and is always counted). That's where the interest, and our prospects, lie.

I wonder if the Tassie public will remember us from 2021. Played a couple of games there and did everyone a favour by keeping Essendon's losing finals run going. Surely we endeared ourselves to them and could count on a reasonable level of support.

Previously posted in the wrong thread. Don't blame me, blame this delicious Japanese lager.
I will be one of the tas public supporting the great dogs.
 
Will be interesting to see what selection brings this week.

Jones and JOD will be fine as the talls down back and Naughton can go down there if there is am injury.

Having a more mobile, more run better skilled back 7 allowed us to stop their momentum by creating run and a goal. Surprised it has taken 2 years to work that out.

Ins this week to replace Scott and possibly A Jones (any other changes unless there is illness or injury would be absurd) could come from Baker as a like for like replacement of Scott, Clarke for A Jones if he is dropped and Buss or Keith as the sub if we 2 only take in 2 KPD'S and wish to provide cover

If Keath is fit he plays.
You could be right but why in gods name would we bring him back in? Poor decision making amd even worse disposal. Opposition teams literally encourage us to switch through him a or Gardiner due to their disposal.

He is a good back up for Jones and should get a contract for that depth, but surely we have seen only 1 of Jones, Keith and Gardiner in any team, with Jones ahead by the length of the straight

Pretty much because there is no one else. Keath may not be a world beater but he is better than Gardner or Bruce as a KPD. Busslinger appears not to be ready and JOD is only a few games into his career. The Hawks have 3 200cm players so we do need a tall.

What I would give for someone who can play taller than they are like Dale Morris or another Jones like KPD - Brian Lake in his prime.

I’m of the firm belief we’re going to need to play with 3 tall defenders if we’re serious about beating anyone decent. 2 keys might work against the average to mediocre teams but I highly doubt it will get the job done against quality.

The issue with Keath’s disposal is a valid one but in a scenario where neither Gardner or Bruce are in the team, you can afford to carry one poor kick in the backline. When you have multiple in the one side, it becomes a magnified problem.

Keath just needs to take a leaf out of Jones’ book. He knows his limitations and looks to clear the ball as long as possible when he receives it in open play rather than bite off more than he can chew.
