Nathan Brown? - Dale Morris - Brown should get back to close to his best and we need to curb him. Morris is the ideal match up. Gilbee would be my next choice..

Yeah that would be a great match-up either Morris or Gilbee on Brown would do the trick. Both would be more than ideal.

I'd like to see Gilbee have a crack at Brown. Gilbee can go with him pace wise but if Brown didn't try and watch him when we had the ball Gilbee could really hurt him with his long kicks.

Yeah that's true and Gilbee would run him around something severe. The advantage we have when we play Brown is most of the Dogs know his game style and could verbally put him off his game so I am sure there will be plenty of planning when we play the Tigers.

Do we need another Morris style shut down defender if we encounter a small skilful forward line?

I think with the gamestyle we play we cant afford anyone else with Morris's disposal skills. Not that I'm having a ping at him but if we did go for one more lock down type, he's going to have to be able to use the ball well.

Very true. Morris is useful as he can just negate the most dangerous forward going around in the opposition structure, w/o having to worry too much about his disposal and creativity. Our game plan essentially needs those half back players with speed and flashy skills as they set up a lot of our play, and taking them away / replacing them, would have a pretty big impact on our run and drive from the backline.
