You've changed my tune Ted.I think the sense of calm is because of a similar team, GC, that we destroyed. They will get some goals on the counter attack but their defence leaks like a sieve, if we win the midfield battle (which we should) all sorts of scoreboard damage is possible.
For as crud as Essendon are their defence isnt as bad as you think. Just off the top of my head they have kept us, Norf and Geelong to respectable scores.
Carlton (another good defence) worries me, any side we play at the dome, also worried. This week she's all apples though.
First 10 minutes will tell us all we need to know about the attitude. Even when we started ordinary against the GC the attitude was there, blokes were going in after the ball. I have no doubt Brisbane will try and hang tough early after last weeks 1st quarter performance, i just want to see our players having a maniacal dip. The scoreboard will take care of itself from the second quarter onwards if we bring the right stuff.

He's been s**t in the reserves, averaging something like 9 possessions a game.If anything, West is being underused at Brisbane. Decent player and they're hardly having a great time with finding tall timber.
Probably should have included Frost over Garland, but we're not the team that needs to do the negating here. The coaches are probably relying on the ball not getting down to their forward line enough thanks to the diamond, and then relying on poor kicking from the Lions when they do get it down there. Aggressive coaching, I don't mind it. Just hope it doesn't backfire.So Bris will have Freeman (198), Schache (199) and West (199) in the forward and we have O-Mac (196) and and T-mac (194) and Garland (191) perhaps to match up on them?
I swear Roos said something in the presser along the lines of "we should of had an extra tall"? As long as we win in the middle we will be fine but we really seem to have some interesting ideas when it comes to defending this year.
Frost got injured and didn't finish the game for Casey last week.Probably should have included Frost over Garland, but we're not the team that needs to do the negating here.

I think Frost got injured in the VFL anyway. Only other option is Dunn and while only slightly taller than Garland would be able to muscle the younger forwards. That's how I view it also, aggressive coaching.Probably should have included Frost over Garland, but we're not the team that needs to do the negating here.

Ha ha!! Made me lolAlso goes by the name Dez!
I didn't say he wasn't playing this week, I was responding to replacing Garland with Frost in that post.Sure about that? He's named tomorrow and the missus said he's fine.
Sam Frost: Sam played about a quarter and a half and then injured himself and took no further part in the game.
If he's fine to play for Casey and isn't injured I don't think that's a reason for him not to come in over garlandI didn't say he wasn't playing this week, I was responding to replacing Garland with Frost in that post.
