Defensive Match Ups

A forward with 6 marks. Woo hoo. Is he the new Carey ?

It was the most marks of anyone on the ground & 3 times what LRT took. Does that make LRT the new Bozo the Clown?

Sorry, I was there & your boy tried hard but he was pantsed.

If LRT was pantsed based on a score of 2.1, who was on Hunter and Sampi?

If LRT was pantsed based on 6 marks, who was on Nicoski and Cousins?

Did we have six players pantsed?!?

LRT had more possessions than Gardiner so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him line up on him again.

yeah agree about sampi being a bastard of a matchup. i reckon dempster/kennelly will either get embley/sampi with bevan being an outside chance (although i wouldnt condone it)

i actually think LRT will get hansen and C bolts on gardiner. hopefully lynch doesnt play so leo can get matera if he plays. this way crouch can be used in the midfield and we all know that he's been in some pretty good form over the past few weeks

Now you're being a tad disingenuous.

Hunter & Sampi had opportunistic last quarters. Nicoski & Cousins aren't key forwards.

LRT started on the bench last Friday & has spent as much time up forward as back the last 2 weeks. I suspect Roos is getting cold feet about him playing a key defensive position in the finals & I imagine he'll be doing much the same this week.

Hunter gives the Weagles as much versitility as Embley does. He is the one we really have to stop. Maybe a Jason Ball uppercut will do the trick?

K, maybe that was cheeky - but strictly correct!

Geez, if 2.1 was pantsed how would you describe what happened to Leo on Friday?

LRT was beaten but that happens - Leo is beaten every second week. The key to defending is to try not to get too hurt when a match up doesn't go our way. 2.1 is fine - if each defensive match up that we lose on Saturday only results in 2.1 then we'll win the GF quite comfortably.

In terms of this week, I'd personally put LRT on Gardner but Hansen is an option because LRT did well on him earlier this year.

I suspect that LRT didnt really have a match-up against St Kilda. Certainly with C.Bolts holding down Reiwoldt and no Kosi.

Can't believe I'm going to agree with barry about LRT, but yes that's what I think happened last week as well.

Who can kick their goals?

Assume Matera is out.

Cousins might play half forward (and I think Mathews on him).

Resting ruckman - Cox or Seaby - covered by one of our ruckmen perhaps.

Gardiner - LRT.

Barry on Lynch assuming he returns.

Dempster on Embley.

Sampi is tricky. Possibly Kennelly. Might make Sampi accountable as he seems very lazy defensively.

Hunter, Hansen and Staker.

Either Hunter or Staker will play defense I assume.
