Our midfield matches up very well with theirs, very well imo.
Weitering on Riewoldt? Similar size.....
Other than Jack, I don't rate their forward line any higher than ours.
Back lines - Rance good, the rest, meh.
I think their backline is better than you give them credit for, despite Rance you have regulars like Houli, Edwards, Ellis and they have even run McIntosh off the HBF a bit. I think one of the motivations for recruiting Yarran was to free up blokes like Ellis and McIntosh for longer midfield rotations. I suspect if anything we should be able to get hold of them around the ground and in the ruck, because Maric is not very mobile and Graham is relatively slow. Choi has some pace though I suspect he won't be a starter this season.
If we can apply some real pressure Nthmond also become pretty ordinary ball users.
