PORT ADELAIDE TO SQUASH THE MAGPIES, page-25

Redbeard,

You say Brisbane don't have what it takes? They have the same team available as last year. The exception being that Headland and Charman have forced their way in ahead of Copeland and Keating. Brisbane are stronger and they now have GF experience!

What does it take anyway? A solid strong stable defensive backline, with a bit of creativity to give some counter-attack. Tall, strong forwards who can lead or mark in a pack. Two big ruckmen who can either tap the ball down or go body on body. Two annoying, never-say-die, superfit, taggers who will negate any oposition (Hart and Ashcroft)

And possibly the best midfield EVER!

They had what it took last year!

They have what it takes this year!
