If they kick it long we have it covered ground ball gets depend on too few and the balance looks messyI don't agree that setterfield has great lookaway handballing skills etc.Is Jake lever a key defender?Almost all would say he is an intercept defender. Yet he is an inch taller than our guys. The game is less about one on one contests now and more about team defence. Quote Selected

The game is less about one on one contests now and more about team defence.Agree....with Melbourne its actually Petty who does all the monkey work defense and Lever and May who do the intercept up the ground stuff It is more and more about covering your teammates man while he is covering someone elses man while the intercept defenders are doing their thing and it requires team defense and understanding the game tactically.I see Weitering and Young as true KP defenders and Marchbank/McGovern as the intercept defenders.....you wouldnt be expecting the latter two to be picking up Lynch, Dixon, Hawkins etc who I would describe as Power KP Forwards given their size and strength.The extra cm and kegs do make a big difference....

We are going into this game with four - that looks to me top heavy and having all four on the ground at the same time will have me very worried. Quote Selected

McGovern is a good talent but expect a bit much from him to play on Degoey - he will have a field day when the ball hits the deck. Everything ese looks alright, I guess. Quote Selected

Lever might be a 'tall' defender, but he is not a key defender.He doesn't play on big blokes. Height doesn't mean you can/will/do play on best key forwards.2 of those tall defenders you talk about are the same size as most of our midfielders Have a silhouette of cripps, setterfield, McGovern and marchbank and pick which 2 are mids and which 2 are 'key' defenders. There's nothing between them.....because they are not key defenders. Quote Selected

I don't think Degoey will play, McGovern has a bit of speed for a taller player and is a better bet than Plowman who usually gets the job. DeGoey is an awkward matchup for sure and will require some team defending if he plays forward.The Pies forwards are an interesting bunch given they are all very different.They have a very blue collar look to them compared to our more classy traditional big name lineup.

At most stages the inside 50s for both clubs were neck and neck, yet the Go Ds were 10gls up. Quote Selected
