By comparison the Williams ruck duo were non-events, Bailey Williams got some taps but taps as always are mostly over-rated, and Bailey Williams had near zero other influence which left Pitto to dominate.
Marshall wins taps, gets around the field and puts in big on 2nd efforts, Pitto is going to need a bit more than superficial help this week.
Chris Scott virtually conceded Geelong were going to get flogged in the ruck and Marshall would dominate but implied they had planned for it, turned out it wasnt much of a plan and I think we need to do same but with a better plan than Geelong which I think we can implement with our better and deeper midfield group.
Wilkie will get his 10 intercept marks if we keep bombing it long to nothing and Id be more interested in Kemp playing on him and preventing that happening and the associated rebound that he creates. Dont expect Kemp to kick another four goals but preventing Wilkie dominating will go a long way towards winning the game.
We also need to tag Sinclair, it will be a travesty seeing him rack up another 30 disposals without much effort like he usually does..
