yeah i agree with the first bit. But i dont think kennedy would suit that tagging role. hes a very in and under player who wins alot of our contested clearence ball so i think he should stick to that instead of tagging judd. also doesnt have the pace to go with him

Judd is so elusive, so quick and sure on his feet, so rapid getting his arms free, so good at swerving and weaving, you just have to get to the ball somehow before he does, who can do that?

who ever the umpires are on the night - they will fawn all over him, peel his grapes at half time - polish his head - so why waste one of our players on him, let him run on his own, he will still get 25 frees.

MIKE PIKE - Let him tackle Judd into being substituted early... LOL

OK, really then, Jack, Bird and ROK to rotate through tagging Judd and hopefully they can control his overdrive moments!

And I would consider using 3 rucks, one at full forward, one loose in the backline and one on the ball. Stretch the height of the Blues.

good grief ugg.....you are starting to worry me......too many stats in that head of yours....

So in the wash-up, it looks like LRT to do the heavy tagging on Judd.

Bit tough to ask Jack in his first full game back to shut down an inform, (mostly) firing Judd.

Maybe Birdy?
Bird of prey: Swans' midfield menace out to give the runaway Juddernaut a bout of the blues

I don't generally believe what I read in the paper but I would expect Bird to play on him at least part of the game

I expect Bird will go to Murphy and do a good job. Murphy looks the perfect matchup for Bird imo.

I think we need to try and just limit Judd if possible, he is near impossible to stop completely for a whole game.

Kizza has done good jobs on him (Qtr 1 this year, first half EF last year) and been towelled by him (Q3 EF last year)

Joey the same, did a brilliant last qtr job to quell the Judd influence in Q4 of the EF last year after Judd threatened to rip it away single handedly, yet Judd did win it single handedly this year in Q4 leaving Joey/ROK in his wake.

Murphy has been every bit as dangerous as Judd this year. Throw Bird on him and leave him there, provided Murphy doesn't get on top of course.

I think JPK and ROK, particularly, have really upped the ante since the game against Hawks. ROK is going beautifully. We have improved considerably in the last few games but agree that JPK needs to bring his big game on Sunday. So I am pretty confident Blues won't have it all their own way.
THe boys need to on from the first bounce. No slow starts.
