I'm more confident about tonight than I was this time last week.
We aren't playing a side that's as a well-oiled machine as the Tiggers are.
Williams is an important midfield addition... and swapping him for LOB is like a 12 pt goal.
Our biggest issue will be the same as last week in terms of general match-ups/play at the midfield bounce-ups - the Tiggers absolutely tore us a new one there last week, and if Grundy and Co. hit their straps that potential still exists. Last week it was Cripps & Walsh v the rest... and Crippa tired somewhat after half time. Hopefully Williams has an impact in that area, Ed tightens up, Pitto makes it tough for Grundy to dictate terms, or our mids get smart and read Grundy and even rove to him.
The De Goey match-up will also be critical.
Imperatives: NO allowing Rottingwood one of our, now famous, 4-7 goal run-ons. Last week we allowed the Tiggers 4 unanswered goals to finish the 2nd qtr.
We must bring a persistent ruthlessness, ie, if we find ourselves in front - increase the lead, then repeat... consistently.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
