I think that our defenders match up very well against Melbourne's forwards in terms of size and quickness:
Petracca 187 Kemp 193
Fritsch 188 McGovern 191
Jordan 187 Marchbank 193
Sparrow 183 Cincotta 186
McDonald 195 Weitering 196
Neale-Bullen 183 Cincotta 186
Chandler 175 Saad 178
Spargo 173
And our team defence and defensive structure will be too much for a cobbled together forward line that is struggling to score.
Effectively, McGovern has replaced Fisher from our last game against Melbourne. Melbourne has replaced Grundy, Melksham and Van Rooyen with McDonald, Fritsch and Spargo. Fritsch is a positive for them, even if he's going at half rat power. Melksham and Van Rooyen are significant outs.
