Glory have the wood over City this season with two wins and a draw and all games have been high scoring, notably last week’s Round 27  5-4 at nib Stadium.

City coach Michael Valkanis and veteran Tim Cahill have hinted this week they will stick with their attacking philosophy at home because of their strengths upfront.

But Keogh feels that’s how Glory can punish them.

“Defensively they’re exposed, they’ve got a lot of selfish players that don’t like to track back and that’s why we like to hit them on the counter-attack and expose them,” Keogh said on Saturday.

“We’ve proven over the three games that, I feel, we’re a better side and we can prove that again tomorrow.”

And while Valkanis accused his opponent's of predictability, Perth's coach was having none of it.

“It’s a bit funny for ‘predictable’, I think we’ve beaten them every time this season,” Kenny Lowe joked.

“I think Tim was saying they’re the underdogs this week which is quite interesting. We’ve come here to win, it’s as simple as that.

"Michael’s got a job to do and does it the way he sees fit and we’ve got a job to do for ourselves.”

As for Valkanis' claim that Glory were physical, Lowe added: “Bless them, just go and play netball.”

Keogh agreed: “Football is a physical game – we’re not a bunch of fairies. If they want to act like that and talk about the physical side of things, that’s their prerogative.

“But football has always been a physical game and you don’t win games by not being physical.”

City were the league entertainers this season, scoring 49 goals and conceding 44 in the regular home and away fixtures.

And according to Valkanis last week's game could’ve been an “AFL score” but he defended City's decision to "do things differently to everybody else”.

“This is how we are in Australia, we’ve got to do one thing from day one and we do it to the end,” he said.

“What really frustrates me is we deem it good football when we see a team defending, structured with lines and we say ‘fantastic, well coached, they defend so well’.

“If we see a team attacking and creating many opportunities, the score last week could’ve been 12-5 in the end, and because we didn’t defend well, we criticise that.

“We have changed formations throughout the whole year from the beginning when we were playing 3-4-3 to 4-3-3 and we changed our personnel as well.

"What we wouldn’t have liked to change over the year was our defensive setup. But circumstances changed that.

“We’re not that structured team that does the same thing from day one in pre-season. We haven’t been like that from the beginning. It’s a long term project.”
