We have been too tall generally this year, Dogs are a small side with pace, so we bring in a key defender meaning we have 3 (4 if you count O'Shea - BTW how does he keep his place in the side?) to choose to play against their single key forward and a slower mid and drop one of our quicker players and our best defensive forward, admittedly both players who have been performing poorly.
Who stops JJ's run from half back? Who do 2 of Rowe/Jones/Marchbank pick up? Who gets Bontempelli if he plays forward?
Team balance worries me.
Fair points, the Dogs are small and you look at their backline its about intercept, run and rebound rather than key negative defenders, they will try and suck us into bombing the ball long to our bigger talls then running the ball out easy.I dont understand Garlett missing and JJ will need a man as will Bontempelli, I dont think we can allow the latter to play off Cripps and may the best man win scenario, the Bont is way too dangerous...
I reckon there may be some late changes....would have thought Cuningham was an ideal player to include vs the Dogs?
