Even though i am a Port Adelaide supporter, i can give a few base facts as to why i am confident, and also unconfident.
I believe we have just as much fire power as Geelong. Talking match ups, i am betting:
Dom Cassisi v Gary Ablett Jnr
K Cornes v Jimmy Bartel
I dont think Cornes v Ling is feasible, considering they are both taggers. Why would a tagger tag a tagger?
They will be the two key match ups. Our ruck combo will be hard to beat. Id be interested in what Geelong supporters believe they can throw at our key players.
Shaun Burgoyne, David Rodan, Chad Cornes, Brett Ebert, Daniel Motlop would be the players that need to be manned up on. Key taggers Dom Cassisi and K Cornes are being used. Backliners would be Peter Burgoyne, Troy Chaplin, Jacob Surjan.
I believe we are a hard enough team now to match it with the Cats if we play our top game. We are certainly the fittest team in the comp, but Geelong are the bulkiest. We are nicely matched together, it seems as though it is going to be an awesome final.
I feel confident that if the Power play their top game, we can over run the Cats.
