Whilst I think we can match Melbourne with individual brilliance I am concerned about our Middle Defense and Discipline areas that Melbourne excels in.
If we are a chance to win this week both these areas need to be addressed & adressed quickly. I watched some of the highlights from previous games and it's noticeable the number of soft tries conceded in the middle ruck area close to our line. Smith and Grant will eat us alive if we don't fix this up.
Also discipline with the ball in hand and without is crucial and if we give them too many 6 agains we have no chance.
Nevertheless if we can match them in both these areas I think we have the players and ability to win.
