Tactics for Derby.

You have hit the nail on the head in regards to tagging Wirra.....He is a danger man down back and give him to much of the ball and its pretty well game set and match eagles.

The likes of Johnson, McPharlin, Grover and Parker must continue to supply drive.

We had a bit of a discussion here recently about Johhno's kicking style. Dunno how many notice ? but during the couse of the year and even more so just recently he hits targets on the chest 45 to 60 meters away. Some of our goals are direct result of him hitting long range targets. Not to mention finding targets in congestion. He would be a real worry for opposition coaches because his kicking can bust a 'play' wide open. He also has the most important thing any footballer can have ..... footy smarts.

Johnson's kicking seems unorthodox but it does the job well. In fact the placement kicking of ou entire backline is incredible.

Mundy, Grover, Johnson, Hayden and McPharlin are extremely accurate.
