dont think theyd would take the risk with such a young player.
We are definately going to struggle to find a mathup for all the dogs forwards because unlike other teams they have 7 legitmate forwards in their team. If they get hoild of us early, were screwwed

There is not a lot of difference between that & the Collingwood forward set-up which we have more than adequately coped with this season. I think we tend to struggle more against a forward line that contains at least a couple of quality KP players eg St Kilda. We have plenty of mid-size defensive options eg Grigg, Walker, Gibbs, Scotland etc & good mobile taller options eg Jamison, Thornto, Waite.
The real battle will be in the midfield, where the Bulldogs have one of the better midfields in the competition & it will need Judd, Murphy, Stevens, Gibbs etc to bring their A-games for us to win this game.

I think the difference is with Collingwood, they have two genuine KPP's (Cloke & Rocca), big guys who can take a mark (although Cloke is more a leading forward). The Doggies have neither, their forward line contains all medium sized players, Johnson, Hahn, Murphy and Akermanis.
They could choose to rest/start Minson in the forward line, which would stretch us, the Doggies are fleet of foot and could cause trouble for our defence (minus Jamison). We must start this game well and get first use of the ball and as MSR said, the guys like Murphy, Gibbs, Stevens and Simpson (even Carrots who may play more midfield today) definitely need to bring their A-games if we are to win. We know that Judd is going to cop a heavy tag from Boyd, he needs some help, a few blocks here, a few blocks there... something to give him a metre of space.
