Come on Stiffy, fire up & post your team fot the showdown [Archive]

Definite Out: Bode - Needs a kick up the arse, so back to Glenelg.
Probable Outs: Stenglein, Bickley (both in early stages of the flu - unlikely to be near 100%).
Probably Stay In: Johncock (should be over the flu), Goodwin (only because Hart likely to be unavailable - but play in defence, away from the midfield).

I'm hoping Edwards comes up & we should play him in the middle to give much needed support Roo, Birdman & Laverne. As we will then need a pacy defender to give us run out of defence, I would give Macca this role (reckon he needs a change of scenery & throw the K Cornes tag).

B: Smart, Bassett, Goodwin
F: Lade, C Cornes, S Burgoyne

HB: Torney, McGregor, McLeod
HF: Pickett, Tredrea, James

C: Burton, Ricciuto, Begley
C: Stevens, Cochrane, Schofield

HF: Johncock, Carey, Ladhams
HB: Montgomery, Wakelin, Wilson

F: Burns, Perrie, Welsh
B: Wanganeen, Paxman, Bishop

R: Biglands, Edwards, Shirley
R: Brogan, P Burgoyne, Carr

I (from): Clarke, Stevens, Massie, Reilly, Doughty, Gallagher, Schuback
I (from): Thurstans, K Cornes, Poulton, Dew, Hardwick, Cockatoo-Collins, Cassisi

Tredders and Magic Mountain always carve us up because we don't have any natural matchups for either............

Tredders usually thrashes us. Kenny has not been given the job on Tredrea since he has become our regular CHB. As I said before the last showdown, we need to play our strongest defender on Tredrea & that is Kenny.

I have faith in Kenny being the best matchup for Tredders. He is one of the fitest at club aerobic-wise & our only defender who has the strength to match.

PS Thanks for pointing out the typo.

Kenny is the ideal matchup for Tredrea. I would bring back Bassett and put him on Cornes.

From what the club are saying, Hart's injury is worst than first thought, as he having problems kicking. I don't think we can count on him playing.

If you saw Stenglein playing on the weekend, there is no way in hell he should be picked this week. He was clearly in the early stages of the flu bug & would have only got a few possessions (& played most of the game!) Better off playing a fit youngster IMO than a someone who is unlikely to be fit.

In order to try and pick our best team this week, I thought it might be useful to assess each likely selection's current form. I'll need some help from those with more SANFL knowledge.

Here goes! Numbers are subjective things so go easy on me.

Bassett - 3 - Has slumped significantly since suspension but a must start this week to gain confidence back.

Begley - 6 - Consistency is an issue but has shown enough lately to hold his place.

Bickley - 5 - Form has tapered significantly but his hard work is required.

Biglands - 5 - Form slipped, used as a bits and pieces man lately to cover holes which has not helped him.

Bode - 2 - In the worst form of his time at AFC. Should not be perservered with at this stage.

Burns - 3 - Confidence down, would be on the verge of a SANFL run. Attitude may be an issue also.

Burton - 7 - Has tapered slightly but still a key to our success.

Carey - 6 - Knee has been a nightmare but shows some signs of returning to Sydney/West Coast games form.

Clarke - 7 - In good consistent form.

Doughty - ? - Did not show enough against the Pies.

Edwards - 7 - In good form prior to quad strain, clangers need to be controlled.

Gallagher - ? - Probably a fair way back in the selection queue.

Goodwin - 4 - Has shown flashes but is still a long way from his best.

Hart - 4 - Was not in good form prior to injury but is a required player. We have been shown up terribly defensively without him.

Hentschel - ? - Would not come into consideration at this time IMO.

Johncock - 7 - Was flying prior to the flu but does have consistency issues also.

Ladhams - 6 - Was looking good prior to the flu and should be kept in.

Massie - 4 - Did OK in his first game back given conditioning and weather.

Mattner - ? - Behind Benny and Hound to come in.

McGregor - 7 - Solid contributor week in week out.

McLeod - 5 - Not at his best. Needs the mental and physical shackles removed.

Nelson - ? - Ripping SANFL form, but we all know about his AFL ability.

Perrie - 7 - The surprise packet has been consitent ray of light for us.

Reilly - ? - Hot and cold by all reports, but may be time for a recall? Has the talent to be a finals surprise packet.

Ricciuto - 9 - Virtually faultless season from the Roo.

Rutten - ? - Unlikely to have any further impact on 2003.

Schuback - ? - Impressive debut against the Pies, and could be a smokey In for Burns?

Shirley - 8 - Has not let us down once this year. Had his colours lowered partially by Bucks, which is no disgrace.

Skipworth - 5 - Played well in his limited opportunities and cannot be ruled out from a call up.

Smart - 5 - :confused: Hard to know what will turn up from one week to the next.

Stenglein - 6 - Form has dropped off somewhat, but certainly an important part of our 2003 campaign.

Stevens - 4 - Another dark horse but appears a long way from his best at this time.

Torney - 6 - Consistent but a step down from his early season form.

Welsh - 4 - Does not appear near his form against the Bombers, another unknown.

Thoughts???

As ant says, take a look at the photo of _espoir on the Bigfooty Photos page.

The recruiting team have decided that she is the #1 target in the coming trading/ draft period.

Currently the poor misguided (but very pretty) young lass is attached to the dark side of footy.

Don't relax for a moment noddy, because we may have to throw you in as a sweetener for the trade.

As _espoir's manager, I can quite safely say that she is not up for trade come the end of this season. Just signed a four year contract with the Port Adelaide board.

You may tell me that just because she has signed doesnt mean she cant be traded. But the trade will only work if the poster agrees to it. Hence, _espoir will not be going anywhere.

One thing's for certain, we won't beat Port unless everyone of the chosen 22 is 100% fit and totally committed.

Not sure about Edwards, Hart and Ladhams, but assuming they are all fit, then my line-up would be

F: Welsh Perrie Burns

HF: Johnc ock Carey Ladhams

C: Burton Ricciuto Shirley

HB: Torney McGregor Smart

B: Edwards Bassett Hart

R: Biglands Goodwin McLeod

Int: Clarke, Stevens, Massie, Begley

25 Aug 2003, 23:02

Heard tonight on Ch10 I think that Hart & Edwards are an 80% chance to play. However, have my concerns with Hart, as Craig was saying on the WE that he was having problems kicking with his quad strain (his movement though is not an issue).

On Goody, I watched him closely on the WE & he struggling to handle the ball properly. I reckon he is still struggling with his wrist. For this reason, if we are going to play him, I would place him in the midfield. IMO he is better suited to a defensive role until he gets back the confidence in his wrist.

End result Sydney goal.

So would I Kane.

Furter to that I'd like to see our key forwards leading up the ground from deep in the goalsquare to force our players to go down the centre of the ground and not to the sides. That would give the crumbers like Ronny a much greater chance to do their job.

Yep I DO remember that now that you mention it.
I watched the Roos replay tonite and just thought he had good reason to be dirtier ( on the umpire) but wasnt; he got on with the game and tried his guts out before coming off.

I know the coaching staff shouldnt cop the undisciplined stuff; but I hope Ronny doesnt get dropped because of it. We need his Ralphy Sewer magic.

From his point of view it would be a better trade.
Not sure Eagleton would have ended up with a harem. :D

There's a little something called the pre-season draft, my friend. That way we wouldnt have to give up anything for you. And that doesnt mean you're not worth anything. Just means everything [or everyone, as the case may be] is too valuable to us.

I don't know whether I've been smacked or complimented here...

I won't agree to any trades from here on-in. In fact, I'll nominate for the draft ;)

Hopefully I go top 10 :confused: :cool:

:p So you are telling me that you are willing to give up lozstar for free. Because we didn't trade anyone to get her to these boards.:p

Can we PLEASE trade for _espoir?!?!?!:)

OK Stiffy is fired up again after figuring our how to create a recursive parser:D although I still think we'll get creamed.:(

F: ..... Welsh ..... Perrie ..... Johncock
HF: ...... Ladhams ..... Carey ..... Edwards
C: ..... Shirley ..... Ricciuto ..... Burton
HB: ..... Torney ..... McGregor ..... Goodwin
B: ..... Smart ..... Bassett ..... Hart
1R: ..... Clarke ..... Bickley ..... McLeod

Int: ..... Biglands ..... Stenglein ..... Massie ..... Stevens

OUT: Burns, Bode, Begley
IN: Hart, Edwards, Bassett.

If teh weather is wet then I would consider dropping one tall. Possibly Stevens as he is FAR from match fit.

I'll do the match ups later in the week.

Port by 1-39:(

OK Stiffy is fired up again and was feeling a bit more confident before he go to see the line ups. Why in hell is Bassett overlooked once again.:confused: I am still not convinced that Edwards will play so here is how I think they will line up.

F: ..... Welsh ..... Perrie ..... Johncock
HF: ..... Ladhams ..... Carey ..... McLeod
C: ..... Stenglein ..... Ricciuto ..... Burton
HB: ..... Massie ..... McGregor ..... Goodwin
B: ..... Smart ..... Stevens ..... Torney
FOLL: ..... Clarke ..... Bickley ..... Shirley
I/C: ..... Biglands ..... Burns ..... Reilly ..... Bode

IN: Reilly
OUT: Begley

Key Match Ups

Tyson Stenglein Vs Nick Stevens
Stevens is probably Port's most damaging midfielder and as a result will warrant our best tagger. Stenglein has played on him in the past and has done a very good job. I would be very surprised if he didn't get a first crack at Stevens

Robert Shirley Vs Roger James
James is one of the most underrated players in the AFL and always seems to play well against us. There is still some doubt as to whether or not he will play this week. I fhe does don't be surprised if Shirley get this job. Come to think of it Shirley might be given a job of negating Peter Burgoyne who is another one that has a tendency to play a blinder against us.

Ken McGregor Vs Warren Tredrea
I am still not sold on this match up. I think there is no player in the AFL that can succesfully negate Tredrea. He is a super player and McGregor will have to play the game of his life to break even with Tredders. Smart has stood Tredrea before but I think that Nigel will be needed for Shaun Burgoyne. If Stevens get the job on Tredrea then the match commitee is flirting with danger.

Jason Torney Vs Byron Pickett
Choppy has been in superb form lately. I reckon Torney is a good match up. Both are physical types and this could really turn out to be match up of the game. Expect some tough stuff here.

Simon Goodwin Vs Stuart Dew
I am still not convinced that Goody is ready enough to play onball and half back looks like a logical spot for him now. Dew is a danger especially with those long bombs. Goody is the man for this assignment.

any others??????

Gee that defence looks flimsy without Hart, Edwards and Bassett. If we play Stevens at FB I can see Chocko putting in a small forward line to create a mismatch.

The way Nige was talking, he seemed to be thinking that he'd be playing on Chad Cornes, so you will probably be right with the match-up of McGregor on Tredrea - a big test, but I think he can restrict Tredrea to a reasonable game (you can never chop him out altogether)

The key to us winning has to be a dominant mid-field - which hasn't been the case for a few weeks now. They have to all lift not just leave it to Roo.

Hey Stiffy I agree with most of what you say after pinching my matchups from the other thread. ;) Only difference was that I had Goodwin playing on S Burgoyne, as we need someone who can play tall on JnrB. I would save Smart (given Hart/Bassett aren't playing) to play on the Tall/medium changes that Choco will do with Lade/Dew, etc

I really hope Reilly plays, but doubt the selectors will pick him.
