The Pies are well down on experienced defenders and maybe even defensive rebound, however they still have a lot of big name players to lock down.
Didak (always dangerous and tends to lift against Sydney, who is quick enough? Dashing Dempster?)
Rocca (patchy form but got a feeling his career is on the line, should lift, Leo, Craig or Lewie?)
Cloke (young, inaccurate but is fast and has some superstar qualities and needs to be looked after, my guess is Craig will get this assignment)
Fraser (if he goes forward and the Maggies get it in quick, looms as a danger and sadly has to be played from behind with our small back line. Would like to see a loose man down back if Josh goes forward.)
Collingwood play Telstra Stadium well...BUT...
Where will Sydney win the contest? If the Dees game is a good indicator, then it's work rate at stoppages (Spida and Jolls surely MUST dominate) and FAST entries into F50. Collingwood need to flood to cover for their defensive deficiencies and if we give them time, they will and the game will be a nightmare for spectators and the good name of Aussie Rules
If the game is a mud fest, then it will be about hunting the ball to goal in pack form, creating ANY opportunities in F50.
If there is rain and wind, 6 goals could win the match.
Any other thoughts? Lockyer, Licuria and Thomas - will they rove our taps to victory?
