I haven't watched them close enough this year but what do people expect from De Boer? Genuine tagging role?
Could he go to a Steele or Hill? I worry if he shuts down Steele with the huge reliance we have on Jack.
I do kinda question that though when you've got Kelly, Taranto, Whitfield, co if you start De Boer in centre bounce, will they go for that form of defensive.
I mean you can understand if they do though.

Just didn't want to start discussing stuff in the preview for it to be shut.

Nah it's fine mate just funny we were both doing the same thing at the same time.
He hasn't been tagging as much as last year, which make you wonder why he's in the side sometimes.
I'd expect him to tag Steele tonight though.
I'm excited for Friday Night Footy. And while statistically unlikely, I'll soak it in tonight since it could potentially be the last game of the year.
Saints will win this one, comfortably. Jake The Snake 3 brownlow votes.
Fingers crossed for Hanners.

Averaging just short of 12 touches a game, he has to be doing some sort of a defensive role

How is it only Marshall's 50th? What a bonafide star this bloke will be
Nervous for this one, but thinking about the year, we've played some damn fine football and come along leaps and bounds compared to 2019
Gotta be happy with the boys and what they've achieved

What do people think of Kent as our Sometimes mid? Think that’ll be the plan tonight especially if Hanners goes down.
IMV he’s contested enough and physically capable but just not quite effective enough. Well, not really effective at all.

I've seen Kent in the past used upfield and he does alright- his field kicking is much more damaging compared to Ross. Our small-medium forwards..actually all our forwards are not good in one-on-one marking duels at the moment, which is a massive weakness.
Guys like Kent are the ones that need to lift in this game. It’s off the back of their collective form that helped us get the early wins.
Steele, Marshall and guys in that caliber will keep doing what they’ve done most of the year.

I think everyone has to lift including Ratts - I'd rather go down in a blaze of glory by trying to win the game rather than turn it into some dour struggle attempting to strangle GWS into submission.
If that means Ross to HBF to free up Clark and Coffield for time through the midfield - then do it.
If it means throwing Kent into the midfield then do it.
If it means the occasional turnover because we are trying to run and gun through the middle then do it!!!
Thats what got us into the 8 in the first place.
See I disagree with this. The players that need to lift for this game are below ad if they do, everyone follows suit.
Billings: Has been poor the last 6 week's overall. Looks to be playing bruise free footy and most impacting the game at all
Membrey: Has been out of form all year and really needs to step up. Has been our most dissapoiting forward
Ross: Not his biggest fan and this year just proves that. Besides playing maybe 5 decent games all year, has not had an impact on the ball as a vice captain should.
These 3 are in our leadership group and simply haven't turned up when the heat has been on. Can't go blaming players like Kent/Lonie/King when these guys need to be in our top 5 players week in week out. I can't remember the last time they even got close to being in the top 5 players in a game from our end.
One 2 Roo
All Australian
Off to the Gabba tonight - and can not wait. Have the kids fired up.
Based on last night, expecting very dewwy conditions. Might slow the run and gun down a bit.
Gears to try and nullify Whitfield or Greene.

Everything is on the line tonight. And I am very confident we will get it done. Haven't doubted it once all week.
Need a fast start to try and dent some of the GWS confidence. And most importantly, start kicking straight again. Missed a lot of easy opportunities over the past few weeks which has come back to hurt us. We cant afford for that to happen tonight.

Butler to kick 4 and cement an All Australian spot.
King to have sticky hands and have 8 marks.
Sinclair to get the 3 votes.

A team performance and no passengers would go along way to us winning. Play the way we played against Richmond and Port and we can win.

Not sure how I feel about tonight.
On one hand I think our game style should suit. I'm hoping we can go back to the fast style we played early in the year. I don't think the Giant defend overly well. I feel like we have been tinkering with things since the Cats game and haven't really been able to get going again.
On the other hand I just feel that it might be out of our hands. If the Giants play their best footy I don't see our midfield keeping up with their more talented and more experienced brigade.
Our mids will all have to be at their best. If Calrk can play a full game like he played last week's 2nd half it will go a long way.
Geary to go to Whitfield or Williams.

Yeah look I’m not saying the bottom tier are the only ones that need to up their game but when they go missing which has happened in the last month then the pressure goes on one group to do all the work.
Guys that can get 15 possessions should not be dragging their asses at 2 or 3, if they are not getting anything then they really need to crack in some way to impact the game.
Agree regarding Billings but I see him as more out of touch. He’s in there but fumbling badly and getting pushed off the ball. Guys like Kent have been invisible.
All other things being equal,Could all hinge on stopping or slowing them down off half back where they like to launch.
Feel similar. Wouldn’t be surprised for anything between a four goal win for us and a comfortable loss. Need a big game from Ryder. If he can get right on top of Mumford it’ll help.
