1. Buddy Changa and possibly Cyril back next week - lots of run there and we ran out of it v Melboune.
2. Forward pressure - fantastic v melboune and the cats will absolutely hate it. its their weak spot
3. Defence - Don't know why we are maligned - we have the best defence statistically in the league ! seriously though we have lots of options in defence this year.
4. Umpires - the cats have lost their immunity if the first 3 quarters of their game was anything to go by. I dont think their footy is that good they just use strength to ride tackles with some iffy tactics. A poor mans version of the Lions 2000-04 really. Expose them in tackles and they are toast.
5. Form. We only just lost (twice) to them last year. We are much better than last year. not sure about them.
An interesting thing is this week we started well and trailed off. the cats were the opposite.
