Though most Freo supporters are getting ahead of themselves and looking on to the Derby, one thing struck me as quite concerning whilst viewing the Dockerland game review.
RICHMOND ATACK
Matthew Richardson - 196cm
Adam Pattison - 198cm (new player but strewth at 198cm, he's a concern)
Trent Knobel - 202cm interchange with Troy Simmonds - 196cm
FREMANTLE DEFENCE
Scott Thornton - 192cm
Shane Parker - 190cm
Stephen Dodd - 190cm (tagger, won't go 1 on 1 with tall defender)
Mundy - 189cm
Polak - 193cm
Our defence is going to be strecthed for height and their defence is quite tall, could easily match ours. I'm very concerned that we're taking this WAY too lightly because on paper, Richmond could very well beat us. Quite convincingly aswell.
We will more than likely win it out of the midfield but we won't win everything. Will Sandilands and Longmuir (when they're not in the ruck) drop back there to help with the height? Michael Johnson would be VERY stiff not to get selected after seeing the height they have. And with the big ground on subi giving the forwards plenty of room to lead into.
Polak has been very disappointing, Thornton may take a tall but will probably be beaten. Richo tore Parker a new one last time we played them and it wasn't because of the virus that went through Freo, Richo too tall, even decent delivery will carve us up. Mundy, Grover great but never tall enough to take a key position.
Is this something that could cost us the game and our season?
