I know Duryea has had his issues in the past but he's the most likely to keep Greene as a known quantity, even if that means three or four. A Khamis or JOD match up stinks of six or seven to me.
I think we'd be very happy if we keep him to 3 goals but it all depends on what happens upfield though, doesn't it? If our mids do their job, whoever we put on Greene has a much easier day.
I'm hoping for a repeat of the Geelong game where we stifled them all game and Khamis' aggressive front positioning paid off because of it.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

That's why if Tim doesn't play I'm all in on Lobb busting a gut again rather than doing anything silly in the ruck. The importance of just doing enough in the contest and upfield will go such a long way to us succeeding.
A guard rail at the top of the cliff is a much better solution than a hospital at the bottom of it.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

This is huge for mine.
I wanted Lobb in the ruck last week but would love to be able to play him back to help Jones and Doc with the above + Jones dealing with Hogan.
Briggs is a quality ruck but not Xerri. I'm concerned with Buku vs a clever and dynamic GWS forward line. I wonder how much of him playing in the ruck was about resting Lobb and how much was seeing how he goes for the game vs GWS if he English doesn't come up. Thought he link up work was good whilst in the ruck but a very small sample wise and the heat was well and truly out of the contest.

Buku is a bit of a worry. from what I?ve seen of GWS they don?t bomb it in. There is method in how they go forward. Buku could be exposed. Potentially Coffield is the safer option.

Greene could have an absolute field day, my biggest worry would be when the ball comes in low and hard or hits the deck - either of those situations and I think he has our backline on toast.
For me Coffield has been really poor - even with some and time - he?s too big a risk I think for a team as skilful and well rounded as GWS
