I'm quietly confident BUT lets not get ahead of ourself here. They have gone deep in the finals with this group for many years -they are still a quality team that are playing for a spot in the finals like we are so we will not want to underestimate them.

Grundy, Pendelbury, Adams, Phillips, Greenwood are no mugs and will probably even with who they are missing is still strong enough to push our mids.

Their defence usually doesn't give much away so our young forwards will need to play well to score but its their small forwards that i think is their main area where they still could bother us.

Bet Stevenson gets a game this week and Elliott will also probably play more forward then midfield this week and Daicos is getting better each week. Need SPS to take one of these and wont want to be lazy or laid back this week. He will need to be switched on from first bounce, tackle hard and use the ball well. Doc and Simmo will prob take the other 2 but i have less concern with them doing the job. 

Maybe its just cause i hate them so much I worry losing to them cause i cant handle the thought of it!!.

Thing is we wont get a weaker Pies line up so have to get the points to hammer home we are on the rise.

Still a danger game IMO and a loss this week with who they have out will dint our progress and cause the media to turn on us.

Very important game.

Spot on Shawny....on paper, for the first time in a while, we've got them covered. Tidy up some of the sloppy finishing stuff but bring the same intensity as we did against the Eagles, last 3 quarters against Freo and last week against GC and the win is there for the taking....but drop this one and it could end up being a bit of a wasted season in many respects.

FWIW, Daisy was on triple M and he picked the pies to win because they have a better midfield and their best is better than ours.

A lot will depend on whether De Koning can limit Grundy’s impact around the ground.  If Grundy isn’t able to provide a link up role, the Pies’ midfield isn’t as effective.

Been down has Grundy, Preuss really roughed him in the Dees game and I thought Goldy had the better of him vs the Roos.
Been suggested he play forward a bit more so be interested to see if that happens....his support is another  interesting aspect if they play both Cameron and Cox or drop one, Roughead played as a ruck at the Dogs so its not many teams that have four ruckman in the one lineup.

The Filth are running him into the ground as are Melb with Gawn, we think Cripps is banged up, Cripps is pristine compared to Grundy and Gawn. If we go with one ruckman, we are playing right into their hands. We need TDK and Pitto to absolutely work him over something ferocious.

We do have Casboult to cause some havoc as well.
Harry if we get really desperate.

Just don't want to go in too tall.

Need Levi patrolling the fwd line clunking marks giving their defenders headaches. Shock and awe on every line.

Sure, but when levi is in the ruck, TDK can be down forward.

I want Pitto hurting him and making him earn it. This is do or die.

In terms of who is out there Sunday, they don't.

Maybe Daisy still dirty he got chopped....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

In good conditions, we can carry 4 talls (Pitto, Levi, TDK and Big H).

The latter two are as quick as any. The latter three can all legitimately hold down a KPF role.

And Levi's engine is good for a big guy.

Pitto to butter/bruise Grundy up then TDK can jump all over him.

Levi often looks to me like he is stuffed but he covers the ground amazingly well.  Teague mentioned his elite endurance a couple of weeks back.  He has come a long way from the one effort player he was at the start of his career.

I think we’ll follow the same formula as last week; Pittonet will spend a fair bit of time on the bench, De Koning won’t be on the bench quite as much and will play as a forward when spelled in the ruck by Casboult.  It worked well against the Suns and I think it will test Grundy and whoever else they choose to spell him.

Cameron for them is one who could cause some headaches up forward....he's a good mark and can kick a goal....he's more of a worry than Cox.
