Do we push Nank forward and stretch their defence? Play Dusty mainly midfield?
The cats have a plethora of quality tall defenders (Blicavs, Kolodjashnij, Taylor, Henderson; Henry, & Stewart can play tall as well).

I think it's a bit like David King said; Scott likes to think he can win games from the coaches' box. Perhaps this is just another example of him thinking he's the smartest bloke in the room?

I won't be surprised if Stanley is the late out, with Blitz into the ruck and the big Sav as the only tall forward. Their backline as selected just looks too tall and slow. Parsons in to provide midfield run and release Danger forward on occasion. A combo of Taylor, Hendo and Kolo getting the jobs on Lynch, Jack and the resting ruck.
the only “late change” could be Rohan in for a dud like Bews or an injury cloud they’re hiding

Hit them hard Tiges and do it early. They won't have the legs to stay with us. No slow starts.

This time tomorrow night w,e'll be either whooping it up or there will be complete devastation.

Come on Tigers just 8 more quarters and you immortalise yourselves and get redemption.

So Henderson forward or back? Taylor forward or back?

I reckon Taylor goes forward. he kicked a few on Rance at the cattery in 2017, so they will use that as their clutching at straws/hail mary option. and when that doesn't work they'll probably try henderson. then they'll get even more desperate and put Dangercheat down there.

Cats pretty good w endurance. It’s my biggest fear.

not sure of the stats, but they are a pretty good 4th qurter team i believe

Gee I am super surprised that Menadue is not even named as the emergency.

Yes. Would have selected him ahead of Ellis and even Broad who also had a really poor last game - 2Ds and 0 tackles. Has slipped under the radar. Possibly way out of form.
Hope we aren't going in top heavy especially with warm, windy weather. Think Soldo or Nank would be enough to combat Stanley with Lynch to provide a chop-out.
