Mullett could be part of the defensive rotation too, along with O'Shea.
Our defenders are versatile enough to play up the ground if a small forward has too much pace. However, if we smash the Richmond forwards as we should, it will be Hardwick trying to come up with positional changes to negate our defenders.
Might have missed a couple DJ....Townsend and Graham will be starters for sure given their finals form.......strong units the both of them, maybe Castagna too is another who might play
Weitering is very slow...Caddy aint quick but I think would have our bloke covered for pace, Marchbank on Martin is also a worry for pace, I'd almost think about Jones when he plays forward.
We dont matchup very well with the new Richmond forward group IMO our traditional defenders are not quick and I reckon we need to win this game from the midfield and limit their forward entries, I just think if they get enough opportunities we wont be able to stop their small/mid forwards...
Kruezer, Cripps and crew have to dominate Nankervis , Cotchin etc.....you cant have players like Lambert getting 25 possies and sneaking down forward unmanned..
The other bloke who needs manning up is Houli.....he has run us ragged last few games and is a driving force off half back, Bolton needs to life his game tactics wise and react a bit quicker to players who are hurting us...
The other aspect of our game that needs changing vs the Tigers is bombing the ball to Rance and Astbury who just intercept mark too easy....frustrates me no end seeing those two take easy marks unopposed...
