Strategy Will we tag Duckwood?

We don't know that, we haven't TRIED anyone as a shut down player. I think we've got a few that have the potential to do it.
So why wouldn't we replicate the teams that had success, rather than those that haven't?
Because more have lost by letting Danger run rampant in fact double have lost
Percentages go in our favour

More sides lose by not tagging Selwood than those who win by tag Selwood. therefore we shouldn't tag Selwood.
Genius.
I dislike the double-barrelled answers in the survey

Big fan of The Cars, also. Beyond that the remainder of your post was complete and utter gibberish.

A bigger deal out west.
It's the other way. Selwood gets 30 and we'll be looking down the barrel of a belting.
Danger getting 30 isn't necessarily a bad thing as we have the ability to dictate where he gets that thirty. It's not likely we'll limit his disposal count either so there is more worth limiting the damage of his thirty.
Selwood is one of those players who whilst is a star, also has the innate ability to bring others into the game and make them better players. His work at the coal face frees Danger up and allows him to be the devastating player he is at Geelong. What we want to do is force Danger to the coal face, where we can put more pressure on his weakest part of his game, his disposal. To do that, you need to win clearances, which is done by shutting down Selwood.

Kelly? We could drop Mackay and bring in Cheyney in Kellys place.
Tagging Danger is like putting a leash on a bull: All you do is end up having a player dragged around in his wake.
Selwood CAN be tagged out of games though.
If you want to stop Danger directly you don't tag him, you rough him up off the ball Bernie Vince style.. but we aren't likely to do that.
Fair enough I just can see danger destroying us this week and we walk away with our tail between our legs I suppose it's no diffferent to stopping the ball getting to buddy but easier said than done

That's actually pretty accurate.

I fear Greenwood is too tall. Selwood will get far too many 'round the neck' frees.
Only takes one very good one to be effective.

Whilst tagging Selwood?
Like I said earlier. Selwood starts sooking it up and whinging to the frumpires when he cops a hard tag and his whole team lose focus and go to crap.
Danger doesnt have the same effect on the team.As brilliant as he is, there is no Danger in Team.
I Dont think there is any other team as reliant on their captain than the Cats this year.
I think the other issue is our forwards need to hold back and not push up the ground too much otherwise like every time we play the cats their half back line will have a field day. Henderson and mackie wont follow our forwards up the ground, they will build a wall across half back.
Bring in Dean Gore to tag Selwood.
We should, but we won't.

I think Ottens ability to take a contested mark will prove very valuable in this situation.
Would still like us to drop a tall forward for a small (whoever that may be)?
Send Dougy to him with the instruction that he gets no easy ball. Sacrifice his game for the greater good and play an absolute hard tag
It's not like he's been decent of late anyway....But when was the last time we did a hard tag? Shirley days?
If we don't go the above route, do what we did with Sloane and the tagger last night where he dragged him to Fyfe.

Selwood provides clean ball to Danger which makes Danger Dangerous, if you curb Selwood's influence you curb Danger's because he has to do it all himself and that's when his disposal efficiency drops dramatically.
Selwood is the leader he tells everybody what to do where to be, Danger is selfish he only cares about his game he can't lead the way Selwood's does.

I am not sure about a traditional tagging role. But can see Greenwood playing a similar role to the one on Saturday night in that he harassed the opposition physically at every stoppage he was at.
He did not seem to be set on one opponent but went directly to the guy the Freo players were trying to get the clearance through.
I think at most stoppages he will set up between Selwood and Danger. Try and get I their way and stop any clean ball movement between the two.
We also need to be mindful if Guthrie. He played well both games against us last year.
