We know Dusty will spend time forwards, the real fear is De Boer shutting out someone like Prestia
I think Prestia is the hardest to tag on our list. He’s got size and is used to tight spaces and being manned up on.

I think De Boer won’t succeed if he goes to Prestia so I am not worried if he lines up on him.

The only worry I have with are Boer is if we are down and he tags Cotchin as he is usually the one that fires up when we are trailing like in the PF against Geelong. He’s a tough player, but I think we’ll otherwise handle him effectively this time around.
 
Has anyone read a Pro-Richmond article (how we're going to beat the giants) yet? Giants have barely scraped over the line in their last two Finals, Davis & Whitfield are hobbling into the GF but apparently we're the ones who should be worried. Its like a funeral for the Press this week, "we have to barrack for GWS"

Our mids should be experienced enough to put a block on De Boer for whoever he matches up on... every microsecond of time counts, even just a bump as you go past, the little things... could be the difference between getting out free with a clean possession or not. Our system is to focus on our own game, of course, we don't want to cancel out our own player with a hard tagger of our own - but just be smart tigers.

Regarding Cotchin, he doesn't need to get 30 touches anymore, he's a true leader now so even if he cops a tag he can still have an influence by throwing his body into the contest and hitting hard, such is his determination. A 15 disposal game with 7 tackles by him would be superb. I hope we put Jack Ross in there too.

even take a look in the Giant's preview threads, a number of salty oppos with the 'smash those pricks' comments.

living rent free in everyone's heads is a lot of fun.

All Cotch needs to do is give the old hip to Kelly instead of Shiel this time ;)
