Harris Andrews braces for Patrick Voss in Grand Final
Harris Andrews readies contingency plans as Fremantle may deploy Patrick Voss to negate him in Saturday's Grand Final.
Brisbane Lions fullback Harris Andrews says the team has multiple strategies ready if Fremantle uses Patrick Voss as a defensive forward to shut him down in Saturday's Grand Final. The Dockers used this tactic earlier this season to impact opposition defenders.
Andrews stressed it will be a collective backline battle, not just about his own matchup. The Lions' three key defenders must compete against Fremantle's three tall forwards.
Fremantle defeated Brisbane in Round 12, with those forwards combining for 11 goals at the Gabba. Andrews said the team has focused on that performance throughout the second half of the season and has grown in that area since.
He is prepared for all scenarios but trusts the group to rise to the challenge.
