Toss a coin to pick the result in this match.Mants, I think we can can grind a game out and make it hard for them, they are very skilfull, like to be pretty with the ball but do get frustrated if its contest after contest and its not a free flowing game. They dont like being pressured, chased and its the teams that do that well for 4 quarters beat them. If we engage in pretty end to end footy we will be carved up like a Sunday roast.
When I say hard its less about bash and crash, intimidation etc and more about continual pressure and getting numbers around the footy which means running hard, working for your teammate ie blocking, shepherding, providing the outlet when under pressure. Saying all that we also need the coach and MC to display a bit more nous than they did vs Collingwood and get matchups right, selections right and treat it like a final.
Hopefully GWS think we have given it away for the year and will just rock up and go through the motions....
