Rozee / Butters v Atkins / Bews
With Touhy missing from the Geelong back half the small defenders for Geelong will have their hands full with Ports two live wire small forwards. Rozee and Butters have returned from injury and slowly built into some form, Rozee in the last couple of weeks looks the most dangerous and creative in the high half forward role while Butters will be all about pressure on the ball carrier and helping Port’s defensive zone get built behind the ball. If Rozee can penetrate into the forward 50 and Butters slow down the ball exiting from the back half it will go a long way to helping Port gain repeat forward 50 entries and kick a winning score.
Lycett / Ladhams v Stanley / Blicavs
Geelong have for many years played without a recognised ruckman, certainly not the big bodied type that has proven to be effective in the modern game and tonight the Lycett / Stanley battle will be crucial. Both sides will be wanting to win the clearances and control the ball in their forward half and Lycett looms as a problem for Geelong, particularly with the help of Ladhams as Stanley’s side kick, Blicavs, will be leaving the back 50 to help out in the middle, the loss of Stewart compounds when Stanley takes his time out and Blicavs leaves Henderson alone in the back half as the only big bodied key defender, I expect Port to rotate Lycett and Ladhams heavily to try and wear Stanley down and draw Blicavs out of the back line.
Jonas / McKenzie / Aliir v Hawkins / Cameron / Rohan
Geelongs last visit to Adelaide proved to be fruitful for the big key forward duo and the danger to Port Adelaide is these guys getting off the leash and into space. With Hawkins in ripping form and playing closer to goal McKenzie, who likes to be the last line of defence will be needing the help of Burton and Jonas deep in defence. Aliir, preferring to play up the ground will find himself on Cameron in the link up position and Cameron will be doing all he can with his running ability to draw Aliir out of Port’s back 50. Rohan looms as a danger, he too will try and take Aliir from the back 50 up to the wings.
