McDonald - Cloke

Dunn - White

Garland - Elliot

Howe - Goldsack

Jetta - Fasolo (most dangerous small)

N Jones - Pendels

Cross - Beams

Tyson - Macaffer (I think this is what Bucks will do)

Grimes - Young (Young is playing the distributer role, Grimes to play defensive forward)

Dawes - Frost

Pederson - Keefe

Frawley - ?

I think we have the tools in the back half to cover them.

The midfield battle will be fascinating and will be where the game is won and lost.

We may be able to stretch them forward of centre.

Bail i reckon will play as a defensive forward on Young, i reckon we will look to kick it to Pedo or Watts wherever possible going inside 50 as Frost and Keefe will take Chip and Dawes imo leaving the other two potentially outsized

i certainly think we have all the tools to beat them, will be very interesting

Dunn to cloke- better one out defender

Tmac to white- able to go with him athleticism

Think they'll isolate Rivers in the square with Cloke.......... oh, wait......

I'll leave it to Roosy and our selected 22 to continue on their established path of continuous improvement, but I'll also assume that the question posed in the header refers to the collective 'we'. If 'we' all get along to the 'G' on Monday arvo, and match the noise made by the 'filth' supporters, I reckon we can help lift our boys over the line. I'll be going home hoarse, but be saving just enough during the game to belt out a few healthy renditions of the Grand Old Flag after the siren.

very simple answer - kick a higher score !

Beat me to it. Having said that, I think we are in with a real chance on Monday. If the boys can build on recent performances and not be over-awed by the crowd and the Collingwood "names", we'll match them up pretty well. I think it might come down to belief in the game plan and in each other. We seem to have done a fair bit to bring that to the fore this year, so I'm looking to a hard fought contest over the four quarters with us running out 9 point winners!

last 4 weeks our average score is 80..

Collingwood's season average is 91...

furthermore, extracting the WC loss shows our season average points against is 81

essentially what I'm saying is that our percentage on recent form is close to even (100%) and the Pies are only a goal or so above average in terms of their scoring power

those numbers suggest a very tight one

can we kick around 13 goals? Dawes is in for a huge, huge day

I like the fact in the interview he said "I owe it to the team for getting suspended" here's hoping hes in career form! we'll need a few to stand up! i am tipping us to win

Who's on Swannie? Can we get Simon Godfrey back?

I'm not entirely sure of the alternative, but if Dunn goes to Cloke, we're screwed.

What is it with Demonland posting half our posts twice all the time?

Chip to Cloke.

The win is there for the taking.

Last weekend's performance against Port will scaffold this win.

20 points.

somtimes when you hit post it doesn't return you to the thread, looks like it hasn't worked.. if you hit send again it posts it twice

I'm not entirely sure of the alternative, but if Dunn goes to Cloke, we're screwed.

I would prefer having frawley on him, but he is now firmly in the forward structure for the time being. dunn is the our best one on one defender and having garland coming third man up. Roos seems to be having either grimes or vince across half back to help out. Guess we'll find out match ups on monday

By kicking a bigger score

Agreed. I'd be happy with TMac to Cloke.

about 10 years ago when I started reading footy forums, I did not laugh at these type of posts

8 million times later it has not increased in comedic value

It's not really about matchups, it's more about pressure and getting numbers around and to the contest. The matchups will sort themselves out

IMO, it's certainly about both. Matchups don't take care of themselves. Our FD needs to identify suitable matchups and back up plans. If they do that and our blokes don't bring the Richmond/Adelaide intensity, then we won't get anywhere.

Tackle hard, run hard, pressure - pressure - pressure, make the most of our opportunities up forward.

I think we can't leave Elliot and Swan alone in their forward half either. They will need some attention for sure.

Think they'll isolate Rivers in the square with Cloke.......... oh, wait......

It doesn't really matter who you play on Cloke. I suspect Tom Mc will get first dibs but if Travis is on song running Darth Vader out of the square with him won't help. He is too big and too strong overhead for anyone we have got. We just have to hope he has one of his off days.

Chip can easily handle him
