Yeah, we've looked at, you know, what's worked in the past and, you know, a few teams have had some success doing some,
Some negating roles, whether we'll start with those or they're what-ifs throughout the game.
We've certainly got those contingencies up our sleeve.
They've got players in all lines, we know that.
Their midfield are quite damaging.
Lachie Neal obviously has a huge influence, particularly around stoppage.
And that is their game.
If they get stoppage on their own terms, they're number one in terms of clearance.
So if they get it on their terms and they get territory, they're going to be really hard to beat because they're so strong at
either scoring in their front half or they lock it in and create turnovers and then they'll score next from the front half.
So, yeah, the territory battle will be important today, but Anfield are really looking forward to the challenge.
Yeah, he is.
Big Red.
He's been great.
He's, you know, the players have really drawn to him and obviously a plumbing background sort of on the tools and then all of a sudden he's put the jumper on today.
Probably didn't anticipate that his first game would be in Tassie against Brisbane.
That's a bit of an unusual one, but one that he's really looking forward to.
His form at Geelong had been really strong, obviously, and we look forward to his defensive aspects that he can bring.
As you said, he's 200, so he's a big boy, but he can cover the ground.
He's a real competitive beast.
