Whilst the performance last week was admirable, it was against West Coast who Geelong are currently rogering by 84 pts. StK whilst not world beaters are a different proposition and in another league compared to WC. We are in this position because of our own fault so the consequences are the consequences. Our second half of this year has been played nothing like the second half of last year, in fact the complete opposite which is a real shame. Two steps fwd one step back is how I view 2023 - 2024.they dropped quite a few and we softened them up last week.
It's all about perspective right?

No doubt we're up against it, but at this writing our season is still 100% alive, and hopefully the boys keep fighting until it's officially over. One hopes the pre finals bye will give the boys that bit of extra incentive to leave nothing out there tomorrow.

Maybe start him in the square just to stop the tag from the outset. My concern is that the mids and half forwards might just target Crippa all the time a la the way they can do with Charlie and allow the intercepting defenders to have a party.

I'll be surprised (pleasantly) if we win on the back of Crippa being quiet.

Crippa might have a brownlow riding on this game and he will be going hell for leather to carry us over the line.
Let Ross try and stop him. It will just guarantee him max votes.

The Saints are missing King and Caminiti from their forward line, although the latter played in defence in his last games. They will be relying on Membrey to score their goals and we should have him well covered. I can't really see a match up for Lewis Young unless he takes Sharman, and Marshall if he goes forward.
The Saints defence will have a little height advantage over our forwards and Cripps spending time forward will negate that. I suspect that they will struggle with our unconventional forward set up and new found pinpoint passing inside 50. A lot will depend on Kemp straight lining the ball and plucking a few pack marks.
Forget about the Saints win over the Cats; that was an aberration. Their shellackings by Brisbane and Adelaide are more reliable indicators of where they're at as a footy team.

If Cripps plays at FF who going to get it to him?

I'm not suggesting that Cripps should play at FF but he should go forward like he did last game.
While Cripps was the standout with a dozen score involvements, we had seven players with eight or more score involvements. We also had 16 players with two or more inside 50s.

And if we're to have any chance that's what we have to do even better... multiple threats.
