Based on the last 3 times we've played them... we stop Priddis (Weller) we win the game

Don't be unfair. Yeo has looked a really talented player since debuting in Brisbane and taken it to a new level this season and played some really good games thus far.
Certainly going to be interesting to see where we end up with Kennedy this week. Kind of reeks of 2013 when we were totally undersized. Kennedy definitely one of the better key forwards in the league.
Like most, really happy to see Acres in and hope he doesn't start sub. Similarly very happy that McKenzie didn't get dropped and hope that we show similar faith in Acres, let's play him until the bye.
Also happy to see Membery back.
Don't think we'll win this week. The two games we've won, Riewoldt has been in the team.
Hope Montagna plays.
Another game with lots of effort, I'll be happy.
I sincerely apologise for 09Well "joop", if we only win when you miss the game ...... Then I suggest you miss the rest of the seasonHonestly, it's time to do the team thing & just watch the replays the night after.
Richo is still playing the 7-man defence for periods of each game. Used to be Faz would be named on the wing, but when Dempster was manned-up Ray would drop back as a loose man, both for intercepts but primarily more to give us overlap to run the ball back out 20m from the back rather than just boot down the line to a contest. So far this year Roberton's been doing that role, and Schneider for a bit. So he has been spending some time back there, just not really matched to someone like JKK.
How would I know that Ray is normally seen a lot in our back third and providing overlap, whilst this year Roberton's been doing plenty of that? From watching the games. How do I know that Saints play a spare man structure? Cos it was mentioned in the coaches review video last last year.
How do I know Roberton's not been matched to someone like Kennedy? From watching the games, plus there aren't many opponents of that sort.

Delaney out is a big worry.

I think the big thing is the midfield battle. They have a very even spread so will be pretty hard to match up but definitely stopping Priddis is a big part of stopping their drive out of the middle. Weller becomes our most important defender I guess as someone said. He's hard to stop though. It's an interesting battle though. Armo and steven are both way up there in the best midfielders this year. Hopefully we can keep the ball away from the Eagles because they are efficient with the ball.

I never said he wasn't talented, I said he's a good player. But if you read what i said, I said that there are other players to worry about in response to a guy who said he should be the main priority to shut down
