This is the one matchup against North that I am genuinely concerned by. Goldstein will beat Ivan in the ruck and will more than match him around the ground.
Ivy's one advantage is the eye of the Tiger.
We do have Vickery to help him out and the Roos don't really have a proper back up to Goldstein, as evidenced by using Clownhair (Ben Brown) in the ruck on Friday night to give Daw a chop out. Also don't have to win the ruck if you can match them in the midfield, as we proved against Freo.

We'll have to see I guess but I won't lie. This matchup concerns me more than any other.

Concerns me too, he's far and away their best player, but we've known this was likely for a fair while, so have probably planned for it. Unlike the Roos who claim that they didn't plan for Alex Rance on Friday night.
 
This one and the Brown match deep forward are my concerns too!

If we can somehow break even, or win contested/centre clearances against his dominance we can limit their easy ball use into their F50 which is dangerous.

Vickery is going to have to ruck more than usual I feel Sunday. Maric will have clunk a few when resting forward I hope to put pressure on their back 6.. Petrie can also ruck for them too as well as Brown.

Maric the workhorse will give his all, we know that and he is an inspiration to his team mates.

Goldstein will be fresh. He is the form ruckman at the minute and looms the danger man.
 
We need to play both Hamster and Ivan one must be subbed. Hardwick believes we need to slow the game down . Friday night looked to me we were missing a tall with Goldie locks coming back this is a must
 
The Roos main 3 clearance players are Swallow, Zieball and Cunnington ,all hard but slugs, our mids need to play smart an rove Goldstiens taps. No doubt Maric will compete but Goldstien will dominate the hit outs
 
Ivan is just so mentally focused and possessed by a Tiger demon that I have faith in him to have a good game.

He's an absolute warrior.

That goal in 2013...

Goldstein is a deadset gun

he will be fit as a daisy....


kreuzer is imperative for the list long term
Goldtsein wipes the floor with Kreuzer.

Please god, not Hampson
Hampson wiped the floor with Kreuzer.

Swallow is sadly a gun too

I would tag him. Not with bloody grigg
Grigg is better than Swallow.
 
Maric by his never say die attitude is the beating heartot our team. May not be the best ruck around but seeing the warhorse at work inspires others. A travesty to even thing of dropping him for a one trick pony like Hampson.

Remind me again, which goal was this?

One of my favourite goals of all time. Down by 10pts, and Evarrnnn swoops on the loose ball 50m out on the HFF, runs closer to goal snaps the ball, and bounces it for a goal to put us within 6pts.

The passion he showed after it was beautiful.
