Cyril Hamstrung? He's ready to go for Box Hill!

[seysearles]

I personally would rather mcevoy over hale. hale is lazy and doesn't know how to bend over for the ball. flaps his arms around like a new born ibis at the ump instead of getting to the job at hand. THE BALL..

You didn't watch the game?

I don't agree.

I think the Hawks will bring him in and DOC out.

I'd be cautious of bringing Suckling in when Port have dangerous small forwards.

Although, Suckling vs Monfries could be quite a battle!

Well, maybe 'battle' isn't the word for it...

Contest? Nope, that's not it either...

Disagreement, perhaps!

 

[HawkMongrel]

Suckling can't defend. He's a liability back there.

 

[butchy]

Suckling- NO!!!
I like him, but he he has one thing going for him. His left foot.
When you don't kick it 20 times every match and you have nothing else, you have no place in the side.
He isn't quick, he has no physicality, he doesn't tackle, he cant play lock down, and he'd just waste space in the fwd line.

Rioli if fit plays this week, no doubt about it.
But the one I reckon who could maybe come into calculations is Litherland.
Just thinking of their small to mid players who are so dangerous. (wingard, wines, gray, monfries, neade)
I wouldn't be surprised if Litherland came in for Spangher....and Duryea stays in. just putting it out there.
Rioli in for Sewell/Simpkin.

I hope he gets back into the team for this week, but it'll be hard to chose who to cull.

A poster who has put some thought into his post. Could be right to, but there are many options.

haven't missed a game in 10 years. watch the games usually twice....watch hale during ball ups, he jumps early all the time and if you have a copy of the gellong game...have a look at his chase game. if he misses a mark or a short pass and the defender gets it, he wont turn and chase, he throws his arms in a disappointed way. he should just turn and pressure the defender to regain possession. sure hale does do some good stuff, hes not the sharpest thinker during a game. kind of hesitates instead of have going with the flow. just my opinion. im still getting over his 3 set shot kicks that completely missed the goals in the $wanks grand final.

Way, way too much emphasis on ruckman here. Put Puopolo in the ruck. Seriously if hitouts was a crucial part of the game, then Freo would be unstoppable. But the reality is Sandilands is s**t around the ground, so I'd rather lose every hitout and have my ruckman more influential around the ground. And that my friend is what David Hale brings to the table.

A good point you make about Spanger, I am a big fan of Lithers and his run and gun style.

I think if Spanger was to miss it would be that they think there is no match up for him.

Unless of course they play him at CHF.

Rioli in for Simpkin is a given, I think Sewells finals record will get him a game.

Port only have one recognised ruckman, this is one of the many glaring holes in the Port lineup that have been overlooked by the media thus far. By playing Hale we can push him forward and overwork Lobe

Exactly and Lobbe cant defend to save himself!

i want Sewell in the side, but with the sub role being so important now, cant see him staying in.
No matter who comes in, i think Simpkin holds his spot as sub. He plays it better than anyone.
I think Sewell could be in trouble this week. I hope not, but cant see it working any other way.

If we were to get up Sewell would come straight back in anyway for a potential clash against the Bloodz

correct, and if spangher was to miss this week, he probably would as well.

 

[MC_9]

I am not sure Spangher holds his spot. I am not sure there is a match up for him.

Lake - Shulz
Stratton - Westhoff
Spangher - ?

Gibson to patrol the back line as he usually does.

Simpkin has also shown he can play a role on a dangerous player. Maybe we put Simpkin on Gray.

Mexican standoff

 

[whiteTiga2k]

I think Spanger should stand Westoff... Let Stratton play on Gray or Wingard

 

[MrFujiMoto]

I think the whole last page of posts belong in the Preview Thread for this week.

 

[Flukey!]

I hope the club rolls the dice with Cyril this week and plays him.
If we were to win, him having 1 game under his belt before a GF would be priceless.
