Apparently Geelong are going to play Ottens, Kingsley and Playfair. This may present problems for our defense. Any ideas on matchups over the ground?

Rivers on Kingsley, Ferguson on Playfair, Nicholson on Ottens. Our match-ups are not a problem. Who will they play on, Yze, Green, Bruce, Moloney etc. Who will play on Ling, does he need a tagger?

That leaves Bizzell, to play 'floating' across Half Back where he plays his best footy. Brown on Ablett? Whelan on Ablett? Doesn't matter.We'll win by 5-6 goals.

Rivers should negate whoever he plays on fairly well. Ling doesn't need a tagger he IS a tagger but can find plenty of the ball and damage us as well. I say we go head to head with their midfield and not really worry about tagging anyone unless someone starts ripping us apart.
Sanderson out. Wojcinski out. Davey to run rampant :D .

Nicho - Ottens
Moloney - Kelly
Miller - Harley

Sylvia - Hunt
Neitz - Scarlett

That's some of the matchups I can think of.

rivers needs to make sure he plays on geelongs CHF whoever that may be, not be sucked down to fb where he is less effective. if they play ottens and kingsley out of the goal square then they should be played on by nicholson and fergeson respectivly leaving rivers to take playfair

wat are we gunna do about the ruck though? jamar a possibility? if not we need Johnson in cos nicholson is A a crap ruckman and B gunna be needed in defense

Nicholson better not be selected tonight. We can't possibly play three tall defenders, and then two tallish defenders in Bizzell and Wheatley. We will have no run from defence with five guys around 190cm and above. Bizzell can play on Playfair without any problems, or Wheatley for that matter. Whoever doesn't play on him can play that floating role.

Rest of the match ups are up in the air, although I still think Ling might follow Bruce around. J Mac to tag Kelly or Bartel.
