Although getting our forward line to function will be critical to us winning, so will our defensive match-ups. This is what i would do, how about you?
Medhurst – Chick – Medhurst gets most of his goals from out-positioning his opponent. I think we need someone who can beat him at his own game. Chick found his niche in defence against the crows and has the pace to stay with him on the lead. Green did well on him in the preseason so he would also be a chance.
Farmer – Wirrapunda – I would put Wirra on him as he has a good record against farmer and soundly beat a similar type in Ronnie Burns last week. However, I think the Eagles will actually go for more of a negator such as Braun.
Croad – Carroll – Seems the perfect match-up in terms of size and speed. Carroll tore Croad a new a$$hole in the pre-season so he deserves the chance to tear him a third one.
Longmuir – Milli – Longmuir isn’t back to full-fitness just yet and hasn’t regained his full mobility. Because of this he will probably play close to goal and so Macca would be a good match-up [I feel] in the body-to-body positioning he will try to play.
Sh*thouse – Anyone, it doesn’t matter. Morrison maybe.
Headland – If Headland goes forward, I would be tempted to play a similar size player on him such as Morrison. If Collica is back, I’d probably play him instead. If worst comes to worst, we can always put embers on him.
Sandilands – If Sandilands plays up forward, all the better for us. A tall hack is still a hack. Milli or Cox will play on him.
Pavlich – If he plays at CHF put Jacko on him. If he plays FF, Milli or Glass. Pavlich is their best chance of creating a miss-match in the forward line and if I was Connelly, I would play him here.
