An opposing opinion. I'm stuffed now. Don't know what to believe.

Cheers for the response. I thought he developed his kicking from being not so great to being reliable but not brilliant over a few years. Then I lost track of him and when I saw him again a several years ago he somehow turned into a surgeon with the boot. Didn't know what the time line was or...

Apologies for jumping in on the wrong thread if so... But didn't want to create one on an oppo board. Especially when there's a heap else for said board to pay attention to. Was Mitchell a great kick when he started? My very, very vague recollections were that he was only an average kick when...

Apart from the odd brain explosion he's a pretty handy defender, and will roll off his man to help out in defense. Not a rebounder though.

Someone on our side must have kicked a black cat while walking under a ladder, and picking up a face-down penny. Three pretty important players out of the side (despite all the flack Dawson cops, he's pretty important to our defensive structure). Game just got even tougher. Genuinely no idea...

Understandable. We haven't beaten you since the Elimination Final in 2010. Been a long while.

McPharlin was always our first choice match-up with Buddy. I'd have thought we'd shift McPharlin onto Roughy now, with Dawson taking Hale. EDIT: For what it's worth, I think Gunston is the biggest threat of your talls, in that we don't have an obvious match-up for him. Duffield is too weak...

Seem to go OK at Etihad since Lyon came over. But that's neither here nor there, as the GF is at the G. But no. Not only home ground specialists. Think it'll be a terrific game though. Best attack in the AFL vs the best defense. Hopefully the boys can keep the nerves under control.

To be fair. Apart from BnG, the few there were ok. He also was ok also, till he had his moment.

I remember someone saying that last week against the Dons we played an extra around the ball, and they played with the extra in their back line. Lyon was considering swinging the extra back into defense when the Dons got a run on, but resisted the temptation. We won the clearances pretty...

Don't reckon we could afford that. Buddy would kick a bag. Reckon predictions of an ugly game are about right. If the teams line up as they're shown on the AFL web site your best users are concentrated in your back line... and our best pressure-applying players (Mayne, De Boer, Ballantyne...

Remember crossing fingers and praying we'd grab this kid that year. Remember thinking that you'd pinched him just before us... we ended up taking Michie in the second round, and you lot grabbed Litherland at pick 55... we had the next pick. Haven't heard much from him since, but he looked like...

True. But probably just as important is to make sure you are doing well at the centre clearances. If you start losing them with any consistency (unlikely, but possible), then the ball will likely be spending a bit of time in our forward half. If you can win the centre clearances and keep your...

No worries. Thanks for the info. Bolded is an interesting tactic. Will be interesting to see if your fellas try it this weekend. The start will be important to us (playing away), but we seem to have tired a bit towards the end of games. Reckon you'd want to go with your best as much as you can...

Hey folks, hope you'll pardon the intrusion. Working out our matchups over on our board, and found myself assuming that Hodge wouldn't be spending all his time in the midfield, as I assumed he was still building match conditioning? Assumed he'd be spending most of his time on a back flank with...
