I was just having a look at the teams for tomorrows game and remembered what a powerful midfield Fremantle have. Given that Haselby and Bell always play well against us, and then you add the likes of M.Carr, J.Carr, and Black to the equation, it leaves us with with the question, who to tag.
I believe we have the forward line to really push the Dockers' defence, the midfiled, as is always the case, becomes a very important facit of the game.
As you cannot tag everyone, i'd try to shut down Bell, Haselby and J.Carr. IMO, these would be the matchups:
Chambers/Bell - Has the leg speed and endurance to go with Bell. May come down to fitness late in the game given that Chambers has had a leg injury. Would have centimetres on Bell and this could prove dangerous should he float forward
Bowyer/J.Carr - Did a good job last week on Burgoyne and should be given another opportunity. Won't need to worry about the explosive pace of Burgoyne, however, Carr is very much an accumulater of possessions. Could be good match for Carlton
Sporn-Wiggins/Haselby - Hardest one of the three to match up on IMO. Maybe the trick here is to rotate these 2 and try and run him off his feet.
