I thought Dureya was the type that could lock down on a small forward.

I don't fancy Crozier as a hard shut down. Think he goes to WHE. Bailey Williams possibly as Stephenson's match up. And before everyone says 'Stephenson is too quick for Williams'.....Stephenson is took quick for everyone in the league, but that doesn't mean you can't play him smartly and shut him down.
Trengove on Cox. Cordy on De Goey.

Cordy on De Geoy gives me shivers.

Agree on Treloar being the one to shut down in the first instance. In inredible form. But we might need to keep an open mind on it during the game if they start hitting the ball to outside the stoppage to Pendlebury like they did in the last quarter last time around.

The other thing they did last time was put De Goey into the centre which seemed to work for them.

My memory might be failing me, but I think he played on him last time around and was reasonably effective after de Goey started the year in white hot form.
Cordy got touched up over the weekend, but he is a competitive bugger and I'd back him to respond well this week.

West Coast ALWAYS target Sidebottom. And they seem to win every time.
Why do you think Treloar should be the target? That break-away running? If so, do we actually need to bring someone in to do that job (like Hayes) or are we happy just rolling with the mids we have and doing the group shutdown aka 'The Cripps Plan'? I think that doing that wont work against Collingwood...they will simply roll Sidebottom to the wing, Pendlebury will already be on Bont and stick Sier, Adams, Phillips, Brown etc inside the game. They will get 'out' unless we have a clear plan the guys have bought into.

With Sidebottom on the wing, then Hunter will simply have to try and beat him one on one.

I don't like that plan.
I like Hunter, but if Sidebottom is to be 'targeted' then whoever is given the task needs to go 'old school' and forget about winning the footy.

What would be your plan?

1/. Select Hayes and get him to do it. Liber is out so that's a pretty simple change.
2/. Last chance corral for Dale. Challenge him to do it and rather than bring in Hayes bring in Young (Le version) to assist English in the battle with Grundy.

I'd go with Duryea

Surely it should be a job for Wood? He's a good size and matches up well athletically. The captain hasn't brought much lately, I think it's a good week to tell him to sit in De Goey's back pocket and make sure he gets no clean footy.
