It might be that over time I am getting to the stage that it is hard to 'believe', but the closer this game comes the more worried I am. I hate the Tigers are much as the next, but my head tells me that are a good side and consistently so. Yes it is great to see them blowing leads, but this they have played a good game in all games except for the Adelaide game.

They are genuine premiership contenders the way the AFL now is. Their smalls worry me up forward, the same goes with Dusty. He is paying 9.00 as the leading goal kicker and it would not surprise me to see him bag 3-4 goals in this game.

I am still hopeful for a win, but like quite a few games this year I am weary. I am hoping Bolton can have the team go into this game with the same level of desperation that we took into the game against GWS and most importantly that we can start with the intensity we had last week (but also make it count on the scoreboard).

HUGE game for our club this week!

Dont see too many volunteers putting their hand up to serve it up to Martin but as I said previously I think Cotchin will get the Ablett treatment..

I think if we are too focussed on Cotchin, it leaves Martin with a get out of jail free card, no pun intended!

I think we have the players to break even with Cotchin and Martin, it's some of the other outside pace that Nthmond have which is more of a worry for me. Especially with a couple of our quicker players out injured.

We might rue those missing pressure acts! ;)

As silly as it sounds, I think that the performances of Wright, Thomas, Lamb and Smedts will do a fair way to determining the result.   They are all have experience, all mature bodies and can influence if they are on song.

Think I would have gone with Kruds man Simon White in this game as an option to play on Dusty....I guess Gibbs will take Cotchin...

Yeah, White is a good option to have on your team, especially when he has towelled up the best the opposition has to offer.

If it doesn't work, you can put him in any part of the ground and know what to expect - effort.

Gibbs on Cotchin?
I reckon Ed on Cotchin.

Thought Ed might get Martin....

Get Ed onto him and make sure Charlie comes in and puts a big body on him at every chance.
