I don’t see the correlation between having an aggressive defensive plan and opposition forwards getting off the leash. The problem was the lack of very close checking, applying high level pressure and failing to keep up with their pace. These things are still required in an aggressive defensive plan if we are to win. I do worry that we will get this right but I need to have more confidence in our defence’s ability to achieve this.

I would hope that we look forward to the Prelim first before contemplating our potential GF opponent.
We choked in the unlosable 2019 prelim.
Let's not let history repeat and be a spectator come GF day. |
Good words Mattdally.
Our main weapon, our coach, will be all over this. |

Brisbane did beat them at the MCG in last year's SF.

Well the question needs to be asked!
Whether or not the Bears hold off Caaaarlton to make the trip down is the pertinent question really!

Namely selecting players with broken bones whilst fully fit players watch yawning from the stands; oh, and their kicking at goal needs to be addressed over the summer perhaps? 
One could argue Melbourne should be preparing for a PF against GWS this week instead, while Pies and Blues belted daylights out of each other in SF friday just gone; sliding door moments eh?

Meanwhile, Brisbane need to worry about whether they’re vulnerable at the Gabba!
Was watching The Round So Far and it was pointed out that, of their last nine losses at home, four have been in finals.

Brisbane are clear favourites, but I've a feeling the Blues will beat the Brions.
They will get back Martin and McKay, which should significantly strengthen them. |

Brisbane are vulnerable anywhere outside of the Gabba and Marvel.
The were atrocious vs Hawks at the MCG and equally as bad against the Suns at Carrara.

Don’t know about crushing them but I think they’ll win by around 3 goals.

Moore and co. don't play tight on their oppo. Even after they've kicked a lotta goals.
On Footy Classified a coupla weeks ago, they said Moore has conceded 45 goals this year. That's a lot. But he's busy intercepting and rebounding. We don't want him matched up against the most dangerous oppo forward. |

The Gabba is almost identical conditions to Docklands. Tall stands all the way around with no wind inside the stadium or swirling breeze at ground level. There is no drop in pitches so the surface is super flat and consistent everywhere. That’s consistent bounce at all stoppages and centre bounces. It suits fast ball movement by foot. Whereas the MCG is trickier conditions with swirling breezes, inconsistent bounce and extra space out wide to cover with a zone. The few meters less width and less length of the Gabba result in goals being scored closer in than at the G where are far more goals from near 50 meters. And believe it or not goals are easier to score in some pockets at the G than others. On top of this Brisbane barely ever play at the G in the different conditions in front of a hostile crowd. This all leads to them not getting everything they like at home and not much chance to adapt. It all adds up to a poor record there.
