Mason Cox v Tom Barrass/Jeremy McGovern
“It’ll be Barrass behind him and McGovern in front of him. That’s the way they will play it. The better sides do that, go back to Buddy Franklin, the double up factor of having one behind and one floating back into the space has been the best to take on the best forwards in the competition.”
WHY CHRIS FAGAN THINKS COLLINGWOOD WILL WIN GRAND FINAL
Levi Greenwood v Elliot Yeo
“I think they’ve got to go to him (Yeo). He had 19 possessions and really set up their victory in the first half the last time they played. His metres gained is enormous. He is a player that can take the ball from inside and turn it into outside run with that power that he has got. To me he is a player you need to put time into.”
Brodie Grundy v Scott Lycett
“This is an absolute key to the game. Grundy’s form has been so good. To me he is the link-up player. Most ruckmen just don’t have that ability to be able to do what he does and link the whole thing together. He is such an important player to the way that they play. I have no doubt about Lycett with him at the contest, but it’s the spread, when he gets running and rolling, can those ruckmen from the West Coast go with him.”
