Is this too simplistic??

Harry takes No.1 Defender, Charlie 2 and JSOS 3.
Given Charlies preparation etc, his job is 80% decoy, get No 2 right out of Harry's way, lead hard up the ground and if he is paid no respect, start playing through him. We know Harry one on one or even one on two is a fair bet.  We have the personnel in this game to make life easier for him and get some good gametime into Charlie while we do it.

Meanwhile, JSOS on Number 3 can really unlock the shackles.

I'm more worried about the other end. Last week Max King had 8 contested marks and 6 goals. No one has done that since Wayne Carey over 20 years ago.

Really keen to see how big Weiters goes, he's had a rough trot against The Aints in the past, but countering that already has Hawkins as a scalp this season.

Hopefully those quads don't fail him wrestling with King!

If Harry plays (and stays on the park) and Charlie lasts 4 quarters (and assuming we don't lose 1 of Weitering, Jones, TDK) we will win.

Basically, if our spine lasts the game, we win.

It might not be easy, it might not be pretty, but we should win.

I guess the biggest problem is that its been so long since we've had 2 key forwards in the side, we might have forgotten how to play with them!

We will be much better served with Kennedy and Cripps on ball.

This will be a fascinating contest. Hopefully.

Ratts is a pretty good student of the game with a good strategic mindset. He'll have King moving about a lot like Larkey did last week. Body to body nobody can beat Weiters... just ask Hawkins.

On paper we have a much better side, but are carrying a coupla wounded blokes who just happen to be keys.

Both sides are coming into the game with recent disappointments. Bring it on.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Agree...the Saints will have King, Marshall and Membrey down there for marking targets so its going to be down to the midfields again who wins this game..
We wont be winning the ruck which will make it harder too..
