HB: Richards Gardner Dale
C: Williams Libba B. Smith

Scott is 48 years old but I think he could still hold his own.

Dureya, Jones and Daniel

Dureya, Jones and Daniel

Duryea on Pickett makes some sense but I think Jones on Fritsch and Daniel on Petracca could be problematic.

Do you we have to lockdown on all 3? Gardner to Fritsch?

Fritsch is hard to match up on. Who played on him last year at Docklands ? I missed that game.

[1eyedog]

He's too quick and too crafty for Gardner. I hate to lose Richards' drive but he is certainly an option for Fritsch. Fritsch is loose defensively so Richard's may get some rebound opportunities.

He is a hard match up and we don't have a perfect fit for him.

Do we need 3 tall backs for Melbourne? Jackson is dangerous but has gone who will play forward? Grundy, McDonald and Brown? None of them played at the end of last year. Gardner to Brown and Jones to Grundy?

[comrade]

Dale Morris would have been perfect for Fritsch. He was perfect to match up on most forwards, to be honest

Apparently Gawn will play 70% forward with Grundy the main ruck. As you say they have Brown and McDonald and also a young KPF in Van Rooyen, so we will likely need the 3 KPDs.

they may play Schache?

[Axe Man]

they may play Schache?

Doubtful, I think he is currently behind all those names. They seem bullish on Van Rooyen.

I know Hannan hasn't quite worked out well for us as a defender but could he be the answer? I believe Smith really rates him.
