Turned on the TV this morning and was delighted to see the PF was on, picked up the action at the 5min of the last qtr and parked my arse on the couch... I hope we have that type of performance in us, but concerned about our clearance issues & lapses in defensive pressure which need to be at there best agaisnt a very talented team.

Heading up this afternoon with my ski gear packed.. Looking forward to a cracking contest.

Clearences and contested possession are going to be so important tonight. And I'm worried we don't have a versatile Hamling type in defence that can move straight from Cameron to Greene and be as nullifying/effective on both. He seems a big loss in these really important games.

How do we set up our backs tonight? Fletch on Patton, Cordy on Cameron and Wood on Greene? What do we do about Lobbe and does Adams start forward?

Morris even moreso. All things considered, our defence has stood up really well so far this year - especially given Boyd, Wood and Biggs form has also dropped off.
