Game Plan Vs Storm

[ElMagicElMasri]

As the title says, where will the game be won? What will be the deciding factors? Do we kick to Slater and batter his knee or kick to the sidelines and give our big boys some rest?

I think the deciding factor will be the forward battle, and without jinxing it, we have the pack to get over the advantage line and give Barba, Morris and co. room to move. We can talk all day about how amazing our season has been and how Hasler is God, but there is still 80 minutes to go. How do we approach it?

 

[Bakes]

Just smash them in the forwards, the rest will take care of itself

 

[UmoGus]

Score more points than them.

 

[CMP]

They play very tight in defense.

They invite you to try & go around them, which they cover well with a well drilled sliding defense.

If we can keep our depth & play our normal game we can trouble them. Mixed in with the odd inside out play. We can score plenty of points on them.

If we are strong around the ruck & don't give smith options our defense can more than hold up against them!

If we turn up ready with the right attitude & can complete our sets i believe we win. Across the park we are better in an even contest.

 

[Paint.]

Keep them in their own half. Kick well, chase well, defend well. The rest will handle itself.

 

[Bob dog]

We will need to keep kicking over them with a good chase without kicking to Slater.
We will need to keep up the ball playing forwards but get Barba more involved up the middle.
The Storm have had three easy practice weeks without really being tested.

 

[El_Magic]

Kick chase is vital as always against storm. We generally have a very good chase. As long as we avoid letting them off the hook by giving dumb penalties. We need to make them work hard for there field position. There pack can't match us over 80 so they will be looking for there inside balls and chips to slater. I've actually never been more confident of beating Melbourne. Providing we stick to our plans and the pink idiots stay fair, we'll get the job done! Let's go boys!

Contain Cameron Smith from dummy half...

 

[Big_Dawg]

Smash Cameron smith

 

[Dogzkill4eva]

Smash There forwards
Barba and the rest will do everything else .

 

[Owey]

I think J Moz and Inu will have a field day this weekend. With our forwards lateral ball movement, the Storms tight defence will open up out wide for the likes of Morris and Inu, and in particular the inside pass back into Barba.

Keatings kicking game needs to be on song!

 

[Guardog]

The first twenty should see us running our bigger pack of forwards up the middle giving their halfs a little workout. The Storm have a great sliding defence and cover well. So, play straight and support the ball carrier. And play fast, and slow down the ruck in defence. They will be doing the same to us. This should be one hell of a game. Best man wins.

 

[Guardog]

Smash Cameron smith

Yes, I forgot this one. Smith will be like Issac Luke and be very good out of dummy half. We need to cover that with our markers not relaxing for one minute. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE ON OUR OWN GOAL LINE. Smith is one of the best players to score from dummy half.

Was confident until I read this thread

 

[The DoggFather]

Slater - Repeat our 2004 game plan and kick to the sidelines

Smith - Smother the ****

Dictate terms

 

[likeadoggy]

if we nulify cronks influence we'll win.

 

[likeadoggy]

Dictate terms

hahaha yes! just run through them all day

 

[likeadoggy]

we have to also have a plan(which we will) to stop what happened against Canberra with kicks in behind Wright. Wouldn't be surprised if they score at least one this way.
