Our forward line

Tredders - IMO ok.crows has a good point, as the Crows don't rely on 1 forward to kick most of their goals. Perhaps the matchups are as follows: Ellis v Stevens, Broadbridge v Schell, Bizzell v Burton, Bruce v Welsh ... then who picks up Riccuito or Biglands if he goes forward? Whilst it is not likely the whole forward line will fire, IMO the Crows will stretch the Dees backline, particularly now their best big bearded defender is out.

For starters I was just giving ONE option that Melbourne could use as a tall if needed.

Riccuito and Biglands are not exactly damaging tall forwards, are they? Ward could match up on Riccuito and, well, do they really need anyone to match-up on Biglands? Can someone please gimme his stats on his goal-kicking if he is any good to save me from underestimating someone again! (Thanks Jars).

This should be an alright game, though. I think the Crows should get over the Dees by around 3-4 goals in the end.

Tredders - Not convinced that Biglands can regularly do damage as a forward (although could be useful for pinch-hitting value), but Roo has been pretty awesome lately. IMO, one of the best half-forward flankers on recent form.

Lets just say that just because you dont get thirty R Oo ts a fortnight; you dont know how to do it.

He has good body strength in a contest not unlike Tredrea, and is a better kick. And has a good leap for a big man.

Dont match up at your peril Dees
