And also too, I just don't think Bailey Dahl will be able to roam free

in this game because he's going to have to pick up one of those Hawthorne Smalls that are so dangerous.

Guinevan, McDonald, the Wiz, he's going to have to pick up someone.

So he can't just sit back and control the game.

He's going to have his hands full trying to defend, I think, as well.

What are the tactical edges that Sam Mitchell is looking for?

Okay, so Sam Mitchell, when he's talking to his group this week, it'll be, we've got to force the Bulldogs wide and slow into errors.

That's what they're going to try and...

doing this one.

So they'll spend the week trying to defend the corridor aggressively and funnel the Bulldogs into any sort of boundary ball movement.

And then once they win at the Hawks, he's going to try and come back through the corridor.

So any intercept mark, any turnover, straight away, they're going to attack the corridor as fast as they possibly can.

And I think the other thing that he'll have to do this week, tactically, Sam Mitchell, is he's going to have to try and get so many more numbers through the midfield.

So that's where Bulldog strength is.

I know Newcombe's an absolute star in there and they've got day back, but they're going to have to just keep rotating fresh legs through the midfield.

I think they'll probably be the tactical levers that Sam will pull tomorrow night.

And to get the game on his terms, Luke Beveridge?

Yeah, they're going to try and slow Hawthorne down transitionally.

They cannot allow Hawthorne those uncontested corridor overlap chains.

That's the big one.
