We need to set the example early and be harder than them and take no prisoners....beating Freo wont mean much if we lose to these maggots....and the worst way to lose would be by being weak and walked all over....
Interesting re the intimidation...I think Bynne, Wright and Kerridge all add extra muscle to the lineup. Casboult, Touhy Docherty (Armfield if in) and Cripps won't take crap. C Curnow has shown that he won't be pushed around and E Curnow will be in if his brother is.
Stokes, Kelly, Daniher, Cooney, Gwilt, Brown, Langford, Parish, Tipungwuti etc don't strike fear into me and are as intimidating as Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson, Thomas, Jones. The other 'no name brands' mean nothing to me. Zaharakis plays it hard and Goddard is a sniper. If Goddard does start something, put the Irish setters onto him first and work backwards from there.
In that first game against Richmond our tackling and pressure on the man was first rate. Bring that again and they won't have a chance to intimidate.
