The way we played against Footscray made me think we'd learned a lot about how to play these freewheeling, speedy outfits.

It was noticeable in the opening minutes when the Scraggers expected us to go fast, we were actually quite slow and deliberate.

Unlike the dreaded 'ball security' period of a few years ago, we've got the skills to carry this off today.

My tip is an uncharacteristic uncontested-style, high possession game from the Tigers, removing the Saints' two main strengths: aerial dominance and speed on the rebound.

That was very noticeable in the game against Footscray. Worth a try although manic finals pressure is also a good option. Last week's final between Footscray and StKilda wasn't at that level of pressure so upping the pressure game could well work.

And when the Dogs ( even though it was late ) upped the pressure the game changed. If it wasn’t for inaccurate kicking the result could have been different. Did the Saints coast thinking they done enough, or was it the Dogs game changing??

Finals are different but that H&A game against the Dogs was certainly played differently by us and took Bevo & the Dogs off guard and they never recovered.

Will Balta now play forward/ruck with Broad in? I'm thinking Bolton will also play more forward with Aarts out.

That's a bit harsh so Nank one off game out of form ?.Prestia wasn't bad last week.Lambert and Pickett I agree need to lift.Dave was serviceable had the wrong matchup on him.

Hopefully I dont jinkx us but out of interest have we ever gone out in straight sets? I cant ever remember it.

Maybe back in the 1920's or 30's?
