conca and morris are massive differences IMO

Interesting that the bloke named BOG in VFL grand final isnt even named as an emergency
Reckon Short is 1st emergency in case Lambert doesn't come up

We need Lambert what's he got soreness ?.

Foot/ankle, reportedly.

Does anyone else still get nervous when you read Houli and Ellis in our backline? Especially knowing Adelaide have such a dominant forwardline.
What are the match ups?
I'd go
Grimes on Betts
Rance on Walker
Cameron on Broad
Douglas on Ellis/Houli
Astbury on Jenkins
Lynch on Vlastuin
-
Think that's pretty close but don't think Vlas will spend much time directly on Lynch. Vlas will spend a lot more time sitting behind the play with Broad or McIntosh playing on Lynch

I'd be more than happy if we sat McIntosh on Lynch. He is really important for them, we cannot give any of their forwards a sniff.
That's why Houli and Ellis worry me against the Crows moreso than against other sides.. Our other backman that usually give them a chop out defensively will have their hands full with their direct opponents.
The other massive key to the game is just limiting the way the ball comes into their forwardline. Our mids need to be on their games defensively too.
Whichever team works the hardest for longest wins this game. If we are within a couple of goals at worst at 3/4 time, we should win.
I'm pumped!!

charlie cameron looms as a worry given one of houli or ellis will sit on him.

CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick says his side has no fitness worries entering Saturday’s premiership decider.
“We are in a good state ... we have probably been unchanged for the last three weeks,” Hardwick told reporters.

As dimma said we can't worry about every crows player need a 22 player effort backing each other up.Do people see the crows maybe a bit too top heavy with talls ?.
