Id expect Docherty to play mainly down back this game given the opposition have more small forwards than most and we tend to struggle for smaller defenders. Tigers main chance of a win lies with probably three players imho and thats Lynch, Bolton and Martin and Id like my best lineup down back to quell that threat so I hope we dont get too experimental and move players like Docherty and McGovern up the ground looking to be overly offensive.
I think McGovern plays even without an ideal matchup....he plays more that intercept marking type anyway...but I remember those first couple of games last season and the feature was not only his intercept work but his precise field kicking outta the backline. If Docherty plays some midfield, McGovern a certainty IMO.
