Yeah we're on different wavelengths here TOOheys.
IMO Goodes aint no KPP, he's an outside athletic wingman. You need a fit midfielder to play on him.
Hall is no chance IMO, having not played for what 3 weeks or so there is no way he'll have the fitness base to run with Goodes.
I still reckon Polo will get the gig with Moore the other outside chance.
O'Loughlin has struggled all year & will play close to goal.
On your matchups above Leysy'll go
Polo - Goodes
Gaspar - B.Hall
Fosdike will play on ball, not much time up forward. wont need a defensice matchup (only kicked 4 goals all year)
Raines - O'Keefe
White - Schneider
Moore - O'Loughlin
Kellaway loose man
Bowden to pick up whoever floats forward as 5th/ 6th defender

Fair poin re R Hall. He will be underdone.
Still concerned about Polo, perhaps Moore???
There's little doubt Goodes will be a tough matchup for us.
I'd even consider interchanging Polo and Moore on Goodes. His athleticism could worry one opposition player all game. By interchanging you might run him out of steam.
I like the idea of Richo and Brown on the forward line. At some stage they have to begin blending together like last year.
If Richo is FF the CHF has to either play wide or well towards the centre.
Last week Richo rushed out dragging his minder with him and upset what should have been a Tuck mark and shot for goal. Richo does not understand about giving another player a clear go at the ball.
It's not his fault. For too long he has had to battle away mostly on his own, outnumbered and being held onto. I love the big lug but the forward setup has to alter with Richo there.
Having said all that I reckon Phantom's masterplan Mk 2 has merit or at least surprise. Do you play chess, Masked Man? ;D

Seriously? Richo's kicking and handballs are usually appalling (good last week though). I remember the Adelaide match, we held the ball for minutes until it was passed to Richo. Of course his kick turned it over. Someone so inconsistent kicking for goal is generally going to have problems with consistency in kicking in general as well. Love the old fella but Richo at half-back is a disaster waiting to happen.

Goodes has been a marking target just forward of the centre and coming out of defense all season for Sydney, for the most part they keep him out of the forward 50 unless he's been left to his own devices or totally outrun his opponent (averaging less than a goal per game and his highest has been 2). If they're determined to play him forward then just drop the tag, stick Moore on him and let Richo hurt them on another opponent until Goodes leaves the forward line again - they don't have a lot of options on Richo. Goodes has been doing his damage through the middle of the ground setting up plays...I have no problem with Richo defending in that area and also being a marking target who will sorely trouble Goodes when we rebound long and quick.
Ideally we'd play Hall on Goodes but he's not going to be able to keep up first week back and neither would Moore for anywhere near a full game.

Only Tuck jb, and Kirk really shut him down first half last time round while picking up plenty himself...will quite possibly do so again.
You're right, most of our midfield youngsters don't worry the opposition...except Foley in small bursts...and it's probably worth mentioning that he had 18 disposals and 8 clearances last time round, yet it didn't exactly keep us in the hunt.
On top of which we are sans Cogs and Newman who we had at the last outing.jb03 said:
Hence why I'm worried about this game.
ya know shers as much as i hate gaspar i concede hes pretty good negater. if hall plays ff *smile* should take him if he starts at chf moore.personally i would like knobel to be fit which would enable simmonds to play in the hole down back much like brendan gale used to.Shers said:
Hyde is being asked to fill this role. Expect Petts to spend more time down back too.SCOOP said:
