Wells is a big out for them.
Having his class in the side has made a huge difference to them this year.

We can either attempt to beat North at their own game, that is try and find matchups for all their talls at a time where we are extremely light on for talls.
OR
We can forge our own path and go deliberately small and try and exploit North by running away from them.
Back ourselves in to win the ball through the middle....to run, tackle, chase, harrass and generally outwork them.
Given our personnel, if they get the ball into their forward line, they win.
If they cannot get the ball into their forwardline, we win.
Try to win the game out of the middle, put our best team out there that allows us to do that. Choose our best runners/users to win us this game.
I agree. They'll go tall so focus on running off them. Go with our strengths rather than match there's as that may not suit us hence screw us up. Let's then worry about us rather than us worrying about them.

Bolton has already shown us what he's made of...
Don't see any reason to doubt his ability to select the best side and the best way to play Norf.
Doesn't mean we will win but every week we've shown more and more composure and resilience.
Remember, we've almost lost every one of the last 4 games but we have learnt to endure. That's been our biggest improvement and why Bolts has already shown us his worth.

You can add Shaun Higgins to Wells....had a great year in 2015 and started well this season....we are a sneaky chance if Cripps is ok to play..
Nth were coasting in the 2nd half vs Essendon and may just be getting ahead of themselves...
