gwilt on reid
fisher on goodes
simpkin on everitt
dempster on jetta
geary on mcglynn gram on o'keefeif that's the case then gram would have one of the most important roles on the ground - o'keefe had 39 touches this week.
what do you think his role will be?
That has disaster written all over it.
O'keefe is very good overhead - Gram is without doubt one of our poorest 1 on 1 defensive spoiling options in the side.
O'Keefe played on ball all game today (and was very good) so he may get a hard tag, or as seems more usual of late be matched against Monty, Dal or Jones.

so gram has played in a shut down role in the back 6, theres no real match up for him against sydney and we still want to play him? riiiiggghhhtttt

He was a loose backmen for decent periods last time we played them. Have to be ready for him to play anywhere. I like Dempster running with him, even if that means he spends some time in the middle.
I think GWILT may be unlucky this week. Do Sydney have any power forwards that we need Gwilt to mark?
I think we have them covered without Gwilt. Horses for courses this game and Jimmy is unlucky. We need an agile team to beat the Swans at the SCG.
We already have Sam Fisher who is strong and could play on Goodes.
We have Gilbert, Dempster who are agile and can play on the skinny Reid and Everitt.
Simpkin will take the resting ruckman (Mummy or Pike)
McEvoy will drop back to fill the hole aswell.
Ray will tag O' Keefe.
Geary will take Jetta.
Clint Jones will tag Josh Kennedy.
All other mids will go head-to-head and I believe WE will cause THEM issues with our depth of: Hayes, Armitage, Montagna, Dal Santo, Goddard, Steven, Schneider.
Throw in the unpredictability of Saad, Milne, Siposs, and Dunell to go along with the fortresses of Rooey and Kosi and we are looking bloody as strong as we have looked all season.
I would see the changes as:
OUT: Wilkes (omit), Gwilt (omit)
IN: Goddard, Steven
Don't mind it Bakes but the only concern I have is Gwilt is actually one of our best ball users (kicks with penetration-accuracy out of defense).... I'm not fan of Gilbert/Dempster as our deliverers out of back half...

i thought dempster was a pretty good long kick? and gilbert's been playing in the midfield mostly.

Having Goddard back may help in that area
True, but Bakes has Goddard listed as a mid not defender and Im not sure we shouldnt be trying to break Goddard free from the floating back role as Watters flagged. I agree with him and think this has been detrimental to his career.
