Cotch in for Prestia.Waite and Daw in for them roos going tall.Scott maybe thinking he can out stretch our back 6 teams have tryed before crows in gf and we exposed them.Works in favour for our small brigade and speed of eithad we can out run them.Love when coaches underestimate us.
Opposition sides seem to forget about Broad who plays on the mobile 3rd tall who pushes up the ground to the wing as a linking player. In the GF, Broad played on Lynch and kept him quiet.
Astbury gets Brown.
Rance gets Waite inside North's F50.
Broad gets Wood.
Leaves Grimes as a spare option (on Higgins when he's up forward) and to peel off to prevent one-on-ones on the above tall match-ups.
Up forward, if North are playing 3 talls with Tarrant, Thompson & Daw back there, then our mids just need to lower the eyes. Our quick of the mark small forwards should be able to find space at ground level and on the lead between 3 (slower) talls.
It's in the midfield we need to work on this week. Freo smashed us in the clearances last week without Cotch there.
