I'd go with Weitering, Marchbank, McGovern as the talls with Docherty, Saad, Plowman (yes Plowman) and Stocker as the 7 backs and then have De Koning drop back on Gawn when he moves forward like we did in the practice match to good effect.Reckon it will be players like Fritsch, Pickett and Petracca that will worry us forward more than the talls.....the former is the type of player we struggle to contain given he is a good mark for his size and evasive/smart on the ground plus a good kick for goal.
Given we are light on in the middle I expect Petracca forward a bit more in that Dusty Martin type role...
