    My worry is our forward defence. If our forwards allow easy ball out, they can utilise their quick forwards on the rebound. A forward line of TDL, LRT, mcglynn and a resting mummy/pyke is a rebounding nightmare. TDL does not work hard enough and LRT & mummy/pyke can't chase down speedsters. We either make a late change (TDL out) or we drastically restructure forward line.

    Agree with Reid out its going be interesting - but all of them are going to have step up because you never know which Blues team is going to turn up on the day.

    They will be desperate, if they lose, they are out of finals. We need to be on top of them early

    Tipped the result and margin, won 60 bucks on the result, and Sydney gain some breathing room on them. Nice night really.

    Switched in and out and fortunately got the last 10 minutes. Hope we can play as well as that when it matters. Looking forward to tomorrow's game.

    I will have a nice little Pinot gris and some cheese just to calm the nerves before and during the match- I could be a slurring idiot by 3/4 time - its doesn't take much or long these days!;-)

    Lordy and I was feeling quite bolshi for eyeing off my party pack of popcorn! And a decorous amount of iced tea.

    I think the majority of our forward defence is now supplied by some of the mids running into the f50 anyway. It's really up to the talls to provide the contest to get it to ground if they can't mark it and hope that some smalls have arrived in time

    That is true, but we still need to apply pressure on the way out. You can't expect to score everytime you go inside 50. The important part is either holding in for a second/multiple attempts or slowing it down to allow the mids to setup in defence
