I don't know how much you have seen of McGreggor but while he is not the fastest or most skillful going around his endurance is what his game is based around.

Therefore I don't see Schuable being able to keep up with him as he drags up and then back into the forward line. Rarely takes a pack mark but gets them on the lead or heading back into space in the forward line. Schuable is a body on body player.

Therefore it is LRT first crack as he has the endurance to go with. He is going to have to make sure he is switched fully to McGreggor's game plan as he will try and turn him around and use the space behind.

I just recently bought the 2001 match at AAMI stadium against the Crows where we won by a good 50 odd and was also where i saw one of the most amazing individual performances i had ever seen in Jason Ball.

Gonna use this as my inspiration for Saturday night.

Read a few commentators who couldn't believe how spent the players were in the rooms on Sun arvo. Got a sneaking suspicion we may have used up all the petrol tickets and in a way would prefer to concentrate on knocking off the Bombers in a game we are more likely to win the week after.

Although I doubt that the team will be focussing on the Bombers this week, it'd be a very bad mindset/precedent to set. I think your absolutely right about the players, I also will be unsurprised to see the players looking a little flat in Adelaide.

If we are to win, then we must get a lift in the efforts of players like Davis, McVeigh and perhaps Goodes, rather than just depend on the likes of Bolton, Barry, Kirk etc. can replicate last weeks draining efforts.

At the Cross aftermatch a few weeks ago, someone asked Brett if he still enjoyed his footy. His reply: "Well, tomorrow I'll wake up feeling like I've been hit by a truck. But by training on Wednesday I'll be really enthused for the weekend game".

And have you noticed that Leo is doing less and less of the 1%ers, but he's just as effective and not on crutches from Sunday till Thursday?
