Preview Port Adelaide vs Hawthorn - 7.10 Saturday 25th April @ Adelaide Oval

[WingardPort1870]

Wheres this info on Robbie Gray come from? He's in the team.

Came out this morning that he is out due to a calf injury.

 

[Big_Money_Papa]

Website saying 'corked' calf. Hopefully not a cover up of more serious injury... :/

Voss working our midfielders too hard?

 

[Chrizzt]

Voss working our midfielders too hard?

I don't think work load had anything to do with Wines dislocating his wrist during the game, and corkies happen at training, especially when teams are focusing on contested drills like Hinkley said we were in a presser last week.
Also, I don't think Voss has much to do with player workload etc. Carr is still the midfield coach, and Burgo and the fitness staff would have a huge say in the type of drills that all players do.
I get people are looking for a scapegoat for our sub-par form lately, but the Voss hate is getting ridiculous.

 

[RossFC]

We are definitely limping into this game.

Even with Robbie Gray, Wines, Impey and Moore(who would have replaced Wines) not playing.

We are carrying several players who have had some type of injury or roadblock in the past month.

Wingard(knee), Lobbe(quad), Ryder and Monfries(ASADA limited pre-seasons), Schulz(foot), White(ankle), Polec(seen on crutches), Krakouer(doubts about fitness), Hartlett(groin), Trengove(shoulder), Boak(corked hip).

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Need Polec and Hartlett to have a greater impact now, Both carrying niggles I thought Hamish looked like he was turning the corner a bit last week.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Gray's injury actually sounds like a would play in finals precautionary type thing.

 

[SureBuddy]

Well that's the difference I think. Was gonna be tough as it is, but now we have lost our best player. Don't have much hope at all now.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Going to suggest something different:

Broadbent to on ball
Ah Chee sub
Westhoff roaming/more loose half back role
Ryder/Lobbe forward

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Cmon fellas, this is the backs against the wall stuff that Port built its history on...

We can do this

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Yep, watched the last qtr of that game last night, and I'm still perplexed how Jonas was ever pinged holding the ball.

An ordinary decision for sure but they also had a similar decision against Spangher earlier in the game. We remember the one against Jonah because of the game situation. I hated the decision at the time and, like you, still do.

 

[Nelso]

Kane Mitchell to the rescue

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Is it time for some Tommy Jonas in the guts....

 

[Wargreymon90]

More midfield time for wingard and broadbent

 

[PatientMental]

I think we'll see more of Monfries, Broadbent and Krakouer in the centre circle this week.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Gray's injury actually sounds like a would play in finals precautionary type thing.

I hope that's not the case you could piss the season away precautionary resting blokes

 

[bomberclifford]

I'm still quietly confident.

 

[PatientMental]

Polec didn't train today.

 

[Wargreymon90]

I hope that's not the case you could piss the season away precautionary resting blokes

Its a long season

Doesnt hinge on this week

Well that's the difference I think. Was gonna be tough as it is, but now we have lost our best player. Don't have much hope at all now.

Chin up! Don't be a Debbie downer.
