The problem is it would have to be a large lead.
Around 4-5 goals is when they get into other side's heads.
Just on the team selections...I'd be really surprised if all those injured actually make it onto the field.

I think a very good start and some Charlie action early can set us up for Victory. Pies are just way too cocky and the media are treating us like warm up material for them and its getting annoying.
Blues by 15 points holding firm in the last quarter and Pies players spitting the dummy.

This is the 'real' test.....................................
I think Port in Adelaide was a pretty real test. They had an amazing winning streak, home ground advantage, top 2 team etc.

And a lot of players out.
And a bit of arrogance...they were ripe.

Lead or not at 3/4 time, we'll need a few boys up and running and full of confidence to ride it out.
If Charlie is feeling it like he was last week, then doesn't matter what Pies do, they won't be able to stop him.
If however he has largely been kept out of the game up to that point, that may be all they need.
He is a game changer and we need him up and about.....especially without Harry and even Jack (off his 4 goal haul) we'll struggle to hold our own.

No late changes.

But, in all of those games, they did actually end up a fair way behind. Therein lies the opportunity. There will come a time when they get behind and cannot get back. They are far from invincible, and are probably due to have a flat one after last week's massive game.
Having said that, I don't think we can get them this week. Timing is just not right yet.

So the blueprint against the Daicos twins is inside physicality, and they do not like it, they are the children of the wide open spaces!
