We can't let Geelong defenders marking the ball all day long.
Gotta play that extra tall deep to bring it to ground.
I really feel like Fanta can kick a big bag this week against that slow as treacle defence !
I don’t think we’ll have much of a say in that.
Should just chaos ball every inside 50 entry to prevent intercept marks and then let Fanta, Hams and Tippa swarm their giant defenders at ground level.
Just dribble our kicks along the ground when going inside 50. Sick to death of Taylor, Lonergan and Enright marking everything in sight.
Dead set. That is actually not as stupid as it sounds. Unless there is a forward on the lead with clear separation on their defender just boot the thing end over end with every forward entry haha. Back our smalls and mediums to get it done at ground level!
It would infuriate Taylor and Lonergan who thrive on being the plus one and clunking the moonballs we dish up.
Unorthodox and would never happen as we should be aspiring to greater heights but I’d be intrigued to see how it would go!!

So, play Michael just in the square with the sole intention of him not marking it?
I’d rather try and stretch them with a mobile forward line, try and hit up Lang, Lav and Francis and exploit their lack of speed.
We cannot possibly counter act their talls man for man, we don’t have the cattle.
I would absolutely prefer not to play Michael, but as a minimum, I think he needs to be replaced by Smack or Brown.
As much as we hope to pick out smaller targets with clever short passing into the 50 (like the Hawks do), we know that there will be passages in the game where they pressure us in the middle, and we will just chuck it on the boot.
All of the Geelong tall backs like to back themselves to mark the ball, as well as Enright and Mackie.
We simply have to make an aerial contest, as I believe Fanta and Tippa can really worry them for pace.

FCS, dont come up with innovative, outside the square thinking that debases the game “as a spectacle”. It might work. Then the AFL would come up with a rule that the ball has to land inside 50 on the full or a free kick and 50 metre penalty awarded.
