Re: Preview Round 4 – Western Bulldogs versus Melbourne
Sherman is in for Smith so expect him to spend most of his time in the midfield , players like Boyd and Cross will be getting the ball out to Dahlhaus and Wallis and Griffen and Sherman will play on the edges of zones
With Djerrkura replacing Dahlhaus in the forward line I expect him to spend the majority of his there as a crumber and applying defensive pressure , Jones needs to push higher than the 50m arc and Cooney needs to be in the hole between Jones and Cordy , Gia needs to play a sweeping role across the 40m arc and I,d really like to to see him barking orders and showing some leadership his partnership with Djerrkura will be important
Both Minson and Roughead when they are on Jamar they need to try to drag him towards our forward line and stop him from getting forward
The kickins have to be long to a target like Roughead or shorter to Griffen , last week was appalling and we do lack an elite kick like Gilbee , if we start to struggle on the kickins Melbourne will just pushing extra numbers forward to choke the space and lock the ball in
Melbourne are vulnerable to the switch of play which comes back to the corridor but are only exposed for a short period of time if the opposition is slow to use it , if we switch play we have to move the ball quickly this can only happen if we have players working hard to present in good positions
