And I should add - I get the feeling Bolts is a bit of a fan of the niggle, either in verbal or physical form, so i expect we'll see plenty of this in the near future.

Agree....think the harassment of Ablett was a well engineered plan rather than a after thought.......
TARGET this week....not Dusty as most would expect but the captain Trent Cotchin...the Cotch is a nice clean ball player who has had his moments with taggers and I reckon Ed Curnow and his band of merry assistants might find him suitable prey.

Its simply reducing his space to operate. If he is good enough and fit enough, he will get off the chain, if he isnt, he gets nullified. Thats footy. As for his fending off, Ive said it before and Ill say it again, its easy to deal with. Our little mate Rioli at Hawthorn is 2/3 of Martin's size but could deal with him easy as he has the technique of tackling by the arm down pat.

Gary Ablett jr is a nice clean player but he doesnt have the power of Martin in close and thats where he always gets our players as none can lay a tackle on him.
Maybe Gibbs can play off Martin and hope to cause equal amount of damage but I'd expect Hardwick to tag Gibbs and play defensive forwards on at least Docherty and maybe Simpson..
If Cripps had more pace I would try him on Martin...thought he was down last week and his direct opponent in Lyons was GC's best player....
We have successfully taken Martin out of a game. Not surprisingly nobody remembers, because it is the often overlooked Simon White who did it. Ran with him through the middle and matched up on him up forward.
I reckon it might be worth attempting to do that again.
That also allows us to play Weitering forward who towelled up Rance in R1 - kicking 3.
OUT: Willo (rest)
IN: White.

The old West Indies tactic of targetting the captain to bring down the rest of the team.

I don't think that's going to work this time. Vickery isn't there anymore to rough up the little blokes and kids.

Now that you mention it I do remember White playing on him and doing well....yep worth a try and Weitering forward to play on Rance isnt a bad idea either.
Be more inclined to drop Boekhorst who was suited to GC but I'm not so keen on him vs the Tigers but I take your point that Williamson looks a bit jaded and might need to be managed..
