I think Mateo and Johnson are the 2 the storm need to worry about and to a lesser extent Hoahia, when the warriors win it's usually on the back of their unpredictability. Melbourne eat up teams that play tight, and outside these 3 i don't see where the threat will come from.
Locke is elusive but doesn't really ask question's of opposition defence, he doesn't have a pass in his game, even on a sweep he runs it 99/100. Tupou & Vatuvei are forwards on the wings, great for hard yards from there own end but not enough speed or aerial prowess to really worry the storm defence. Brown has no pass and is easily read, Inu is an enigma, but i'll write him off considering rocks usually follow his diamonds.
Maloney is a running 5/8 who offers 0 options at the line, if he has the ball in hand he is either running or kicking, Johnson has set up twice as many line break assists in half the game's of James. Also his try assist ratio is better already. Lillyman, Heremia, Rapira, Matulino etc are all straight running tight playing forwards with little creativity. Ditto to Mannering & Luck. They are tackling robots.
These types of players are easily handled by the storm, if Warriors win i gaurentee you either Mateo/Johnson/Hoahia play blinder's and get them home. Johnson needs to be hitting Mateo all night and if they were smart he would be going outside of Beau Champion. The Warriors need to complete sets but also chance their hand, a tough combination to achieve.
Then conversely, there's Cronk, Smith & Slater to stop.
