A lot of their players from the area, will they know what it means and pull out a performance or freeze. A lot depends on the midfield battle in these games. Back Catts to do well, Larsson has improved exponentially recently and will be everywhere especially early on. Not sure about Gomez in this type of game, certainly has the skill but can he play the ball more quickly and stand up to the physicality. Win the midfield battle and give it to Johnson, he's the one who could provide the chances for Connor and Fletch. Shaking like a shitting dog here. Haway the lads. FTM
 
Hawayyyy! Good starting line up that. Some options from the bench to change the game if needed to.

Catts and Seb need to have a good game today. AJ against dummet will be interesting too.
 
Fairly straightforward this. Get ball. Keep ball. Win. Let them belt about like bulls in a china shop.
