This game will come down to matchups. We'll need to shut down their rebounding backline, and they're going to be trying to shut down our midfield.
I expect Kirk will go to Cotchin again, and probably Jack to Deledio. We can reasonably expect those players to be mainly ineffective for the game (though I'd love for one of them to get loose, but past form would dictate that they'll struggle), which means that Martin, Jackson, Tuck, and hopefully Foley will have to really stand up in our midfield, as well as Connors and Newman to step up for Deledio off half back.
If O'Keefe heads into the midfield, I think Jackson will go to him and do a very good job, as he has done in the past, but the main issue is Malceski, Kennelly, and Shaw off half back. All three are dangerous players and if left unchecked we will see a repeat of our first match against them, where their drive from the backline absolutely destroyed us. King has past form on Shaw so I think that would be a good matchup, I'd give White a go at Kennelly but I'd be iffy about that matchup - White's past tagging results are hardly impressive, but then again Kennelly isn't exactly good at dealing with a tag - and move Edwards up to play on Malceski, which I think would be a very good move.
For our backline, I think Goodes will get either McGuane or Moore and I'd like to see the Goo go onto Bradshaw if he is back in. Otherwise Thursfield would do a reasonable job on him. White may have really stretched our defense but indications are that he'll be in the reserves, so we shouldn't have to worry about him. I hope that they opt for a resting midfielder in the forwardline instead of TDL who could really get loose on our defence (as is the tradition for speedy smalls against us), whereas a slower midfielder we will be able to contain pretty well.
