We traditionally have problems against the same players every time against this mob. That's crap coaching.
For starters, I'd be playing TdK and H as a tag team on Moore and play way up the ground, maybe on a wing as an outlet option for defence. Surely they can out mark anybody if Moore doesn't follow them down the ground? Make the pies react to us and buy more real estate in the corridor not the wings. Going wide doesn't work.
Charlie stays inside 50. Clear it out Deal with that pies. Make them sweat.
Owies + 1 as hit up/ground level options. Owies consistently finds space.
Kennedy starts across half forward as an additional hit up option.
Kemp plays as, probably as the sub, he's more versatile size-wise as a defender. Young may be the one to miss.
Park somebody on Daicos and make him accountable, maybe Docherty is smart enough to hurt him by sneaking some shots on goal if Daicos gets loose? And Docherty can be effective in all parts of the ground.
No kick chasing in defence - none. Maybe MacG for deGoey, he's about the right size.
I was tempted to pick Dow but all midfielders are going to have to run very hard both ways for us to win this, but Dow running forwards at every opportunity is something I like the sound of.
I like the idea of Doc to Daicos. The obvious one to me was Cottrell.
