From memory, we go ok at Marvel.Saintmatt wrote: ↑Tue 22 Sep 2020 12:03pmCouldn't agree more. The Gabba is a centre square clearance ground (it's quite short length wise) and really, the depth of the Dogs midfield has us covered. I think Adelaide suits us really well - it's big and open and allows runners like Hill, Jones and Butler to get on their bikes. I think we have the Dogs covered in the Ruck, I think we have good, functional key forwards to make their defenders actually defend (i.e. like Battle did on Haynes) and the Dogs' forwards are streaky at best. Even more so if Naughton plays.SaintPav wrote: ↑Tue 22 Sep 2020 9:34amI think we are better off playing the dogs in Adelaide TBH.perfectionist wrote: ↑Tue 22 Sep 2020 8:21amNo, the finals start a week earlier. It's likely to be Thursday 1st October at Metricon. Port will play in Adelaide, WCE in Perth and Brisbane at the Gabba.
Three keys for me? 1. Gears to lock down JJ (again); 2. Seb to do a job on either McCrae/Hunter or Libba (not sure you can really tag Bont and Smith is sort of the same); and 3. Keep it out of the hands of Keath and Daniel.
