Looking forward to tonight, cant wait to get to Marvel and see the boys in action.
Our forward line looks exciting, love the inclusions of Cumbers, Bauer, and Coulthard. I think they all will surprise and snag a few goals.
Our backline had its pants pulled down last week, hoping for Balta, Grimes, and Young to keep Naughton and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan in check.
Can't underestimate how big the inclusions of short and nank are. Short is always good for 1-2 goals and Nank is just a beast around the contest.
Dogs' backline is short, we can stretch them if we decide to plank soldo in the goal square to bring it to ground and leave Jack at CHF. Soldo looks to have more spring in his step this year, so that could well work. Nank more likely will rest on the bench when Soldo is rucking.
Our mids have to match theirs. Graham goes into the midfield to play the Cotchin role, I think he can at least match Cotchins numbers so we effectively break even there.
Losing Dusty is the big one but if our mids and forwards kick goals (not just mids) then we win this between 14 and 22 points
