My Round 6 Preview and Prediction


CHF

Recommended Posts

I think Dusty could be the difference here, he loves a big occasion and his 250th is fairly significant.

Love him or loathe him, he is a very, very good footballer.

If nothing else, it's a good chance for our guys to experience finals like atmosphere and learn from it

I see this game as a free hit in a lot of ways, number one most important thing is to stay with them deep into the match.

Above to me will be the 'fascinating' part of the game if it turns out this way.

According to The Age defence article this morning, when comparing Dees and Tiges,both teams rank No. 1 for final 1/4 efforts.

Both have won all 5 last 1/4's 

If its close both will think they have a chance - which will be true in fact.

Tigers by 4 goals.

We are not at that level yet.

The Tigers level of 2019 or 2020 was great, apart from the last 3 quarters of football, This Year 2021 Tigers are not near that level either. (Pardon my english.)  For most of this year they have been lower 8 level,  I hope they have been drinking their bath water more the we have been splashing in ours.

I would happily concede them the last quarter as long as we win the game.

This is the litmus test game so far (as was the Geelong and hawks games at the time...)

Think our defence is solid, and provided we apply it well in the midfield we can hold the [censored] head forwards in Lynch and Riewoldt.  Their small forwards may get involved, but we can and should ensure that they get no easy possessions.  They dont like their own medicine so this will be the basis of success.

Next, we need to win the midfield.  Allowing the ball too often to be in their half is a recipe for disaster - the more we can create and win contests the better off we will be.  In addition, stopping half back run through intense pressure will stifle their ability to move the ball.  Gotta be hard at it here.

A great contest, with us finding enough avenues to goal and responding to repeated efforts of the Tigers (and their mates the maggots) to take a 24 point win.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
