The fact that we're playing XOH is a massive surprise. I wonder if he'll be the sub.
Kingers alluded to the fact that he liked what Keeffe was providing for us and that Riccardi might not be preferred the option. Looks like they decided to go with Keeffe for the backup ruck option.

It will be fascinating to see the tactics and match ups. XOH is either the run-with player or the sub.
Assuming Ward and Cumming are the wingers, we'll be much stronger than the previous matches.
They'll probably closely check Whitfield, Greene and Hogan and rely on their star power to get it done.
I can't imagine Kingers will allow that to happen.

Good call, it would make sense for XO to play a shut down roll on one of Sydney’s gun midfielders with Bedford out.
I think Peatling will be the sub.

It will be interesting to see how we handle this. Jordon has been quite effective at minimising Lachie’s involvement and impact.

Harvey Thomas stiff to miss after being top 22 all year virtually. I do agree with the decision though.
We'll miss bedford's defensive pressure. I'd give Peatling the run with role.
Very surprised that Keefe held out Riccardi.
Cumming or McMullen the sub.
Not the place for this, but thought if we lose Perryman, McMullen has the skills to do that role with an offseason working on it. unless they have mid field minutes in mind for him (which they might)

I get the logic, difficult player to tag. I think the tagger will have more success on Warner or Heeney
I reckon someone will tag that has not tagged before. I think there will be a surprise position shift
They would have known Bedford wouldn’t get up, and they also know there is 4 sydney players that need tagging.
Who can do it ? Could X be a tagger do you think ? Ward maybe ?

funny enough, at a thing where kingsley spoke at, someone asked about the Tag. He said, on review of the tape, it was our players not handing off as he ran past in space. Said on a number of occasions' (he actually said how many) he ran to space to be damaging and wasnt used. That was in our down patch where we had a few out and were out of form.
He said the effectiveness of the tag was very much overstated.
We'll see.

Ward and Cogs will both have accountable run with roles you'd think, but wont tag as such. (actually maybe Ward will, he tagged Bonts the first time we played them)

It might have something to do with the condition of Briggs’ shoulder.

Think McMullin starts especially with Thomas not playing. Need that small pressure forward role.

I think they will be too strong for us. Their midfield, with three AA’s this year will be too good.
Hope I’m wrong.

True, which pretty much guarantees XOH as the sub.
I don't think we'll play a dedicated tagger without Bedford. Peatling is a good defensive mid who lays a lot of tackles. We'll him in in Snooze's stead and let him go to work. But I don't think he'll be running with any player in particular.
I hope you're wrong too!
If we bring our best and stifle them at the contest, we'll be right in it.

XO to the Lizard?

He's one of the strongest at the club, so he's probably been selected to provide a bit of grunt.

XOH is in the starting team which implies he is in the 22

Do we always pick the sub from the 5 named on the interchange? I haven’t paid close enough attention to that.
True. Unless there's some gamesmanship going on - Muff, Peatling or even Cumming could be sub.

Sub can get taken from anywhere, not just the 5 on the bench.
