I get that but they also only have 1 key back and their entire backline is slow on top of that. Hore is going to have to take riewoldt, whoever takes caddy/dusty is going to be desperately overmatched.

Their forward line is certainly more dangerous now, but i have complete trust in our defenders to make it hard on them.

The key is our pressure, cant allow them to get free run out of the midfield.
Frost is pretty quick..it’s just about his best thing.
Pressure, pressure, pressure is what we need

Yeh he is, and also hunt if he plays halfback. Reckon their backline is their biggest weakness though, could kick a big score if we get it in there fast.

Superb is a bit strong I think. Solid but everyone else was at least solid or better in the last two games. He had some flashy moments but that wont keep you in this Tigers team.

Castagna certainly wasn't anywhere close to missing the team on last weeks performance. Our best defensive forward by a mile in my eyes.
Spot on. Superb is way over the top for Bolton. George's elite pressure was as good as it's been against the Swans. Apart from his 8 tackles he also had a game high 68 pressure acts. Also got a goal, something Bolton failed to do.
Bolton is a talent and his time will come, but not just yet.

Ellis. Been serviceable the last couple but we all know he will fold when the intensity gets turned up again as he has more than a few times now. Give Bolton a chance on the wing
Drop Ellis? Because he might lose his good form. Lol

Bolton has been superb.
Our worst performing player wears No 11.
Wouldn't say superb, but has shown some very good signs.

While George does kill momentum at times, he makes up for it with his manic pressure, which Bolton isn't able to replicate at the moment, and his ability to compete in the air. If George does drop away now that Jack Caddy and Lynch will be up forward to compete in the air then I'd expect us to maybe change the line up and bring Bolton back in.

Why do people always say the opposition are going to come out firing. Like i have said if you need to media bashing to pump you up then you have issues.

Every chance the dees come out spluttering like they did against the saints.

I think Paul Roos is staying stuff like that on purpose , the club use it as a motivation type thing as they are in a black hole and will try anything to help get them out

They'll come out firing is much more likely than not with all the media heat and ANZAC buildup. But we'll see if they can sustain it for 4 quarters. If we can bring our intensity of the last 2 weeks, or even go up another level, we'll overpower them at some point.

Crazy talk.

Even when players perform they should be dropped because he may play bad this week?

Clearly the coaches should watch Minority Report?

Weird team from the Dees. Frost, Hore and Hibberd vs Lynch, Riewoldt and Caddy/Dusty should be carnage for them. Tom McDonald must be going back but their coach said he wouldn't. If he plays forward they have 0 chance
Yeah very strange. Surely Tmac goes back now? If not, our forward line should smash them. They have 1 tall back and he's pretty poor. Athletic, but that's about it.
