How/Who to tackle "Daisy"
There are plenty of good Magpie players and you can't cover them all - man-on-man??
How/Who should cover Daisy Thomas this week. Ross named him as perhaps the best AFL footballer going around at the moment (not a bad complement).
Any really good ideas.

Unforunately, we do not have anyone on our list who is both experienced, fast and agile enough to be a suitable match for daisy.
Winmar seems similar in the last two categories, but obviously lacks experience.
I think Gilbert might get a run on him, with an emphasis on making him accountable the other way.

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

We stopped Judd - probably a harder feat on current form.#1GILL wrote:Stop Pendlebury and you achieve something that no teams have managed so far this year.Teflon wrote:yep, has pace to go with him.Bernard Shakey wrote:CJ will do the job.
TBH Pendlebury worries me more - stop him and stop a lot of their drive.
It's great timing that Dal had such a strong game last week, because he will demand more attention from there, even if he doesn't really deserve it.
Joey and Goddard (if playing) will cause them headaches. It will be mostly head to head match ups, and then it all boils down to our regular problem of clearances.
Lets hope Armo, Steven and Polo can stand up to the pressure.

Funny how u are the first to defend Baker like most on here yet when it comes to roughing the opposition Baker is the first to mind.matrix wrote:cj to pendles
baker to come in and go to thomas
therefore he shouldnt have any effect on the game after about the 5 min mark of the first
Which way do u want it????
Oh when the saints go charging in!

yup thats right
i seriously wanted him to come back in after a two game suspension only to ACTUALLY go out their and clout daisy behind the play and get another 16 weeks.
maybe baker and dempster are both tagging defenders and with dempster playing the better footy (much to my surprise) he has been getting the gig
dempster might not get up this week so baker being the next in line that plays the same kind of game should get the gig
pendles is s mid...jones is a taggin mid
pretty much the reason i thought that match up should occur
daisy will have him beat in the air tho i think

could work huh
could keep up alright
gives him a job and really make him accountable
could be a good option
only thing that gets me with gilbs is his disposal of late
and it seems to be the close short handballs and kicks most of the time
i mean he never used to be like that.
anyhoo
gilbs to daisy, yeah..i could see that

Thomas, Swan and timewarp Pendlbury. Absolute superstars of our game. Covering one is not enough all 3 have to be soundly beaten. Teams can never do it, so one or two of these guys always run riot.
Massive challenge for our guys.
Collingwood supporter at work said you have to break Thomas' legs to stop him.
