If so, it'll be TDK and Harry again and I reckon Harry offers more around the ground while on-ball than Wright does. And TDK would have Goldstein covered around the ground too. So no changes on that front IMO.Might be worth putting McGovern on stringer. He has a bit more pace than Kemp and it would mean the bombers would have a decision to make.
Only change I could see is if Motlop fires in the VFL then he would come in....likely for Fantasia. Other than Wright and Jones, I don't think Bombers are that tall in the forward line unless I'm missing someone. Stringer will be a tough match up but one I could see Kemp taking on.
Do they....
a) Use stringer as a decoy to drag McGovern away from the ball to limit his peeling off/3rd man in defensive nous.
b) Try and use stringer as a go-to and bring McGovern closet to the ball helping be the 3rd man up when it doesn't go to Stringer.
c) Try and push stringer into the midfield to break that matchup and hurting their attack as a result.
Either way, it works in our favour, assuming Gov can defend to an acceptable level 1-on-1.
