One of my favourite pastimes in the off-season (finals for most other fans) is to pick a side to beat the AA team. Some years you're really up against it. Not so this year. It has been an even year across the board and the AA selectors have picked a few complete duds to complement the usual cream.
Whatever edge the AA side has in the midfield we can nullify and we can destroy them through the spine.
I suppose the easiest place to start is with our CHB. Pavlich had 4 kicks and 0 goals against C.Cornes in R22. Why don't we start there? On win to us.
CHF shouldn't be too hard. Our man Tredders kicked a lazy 7 again Hawthorn Of course they couldn't all have been on Croad. He'd have been hidden somewhere else after the first few. Another clear and certain win for us.
Let's give Richo the starting gig at FF with Frase on the bench. Richo kicked four on Rutten from a few opportunities. If Rutten gets into trouble they can always swing Leo Barry off the bench. :rofl
And we don't have to look to far for the bloke who cleaned up Barry Hall do we? D.Gaspar can have the gig.
Of the rest, Lenny Hayes is almost invincible. He's been the most valuable midfielder in the comp in 2005, IMO. Unstoppable, I'll cop an honourable close loss with the injured C.Ling on him. We could do better if Ling could walk. Kirk will beat either of Cousins or Ball. We’ll take Cousins.
