Ok, this round is weird.

If anyone gets 9 this round they’re running the tipping comp!!

I will also be interrogating them for this weeks lotto numbers. I'll do anything to win the jackpot.

 

[Colonel_Klink]

I'm worried about this game.

Port look hungry for success and want to silence the critics.

Fear not, I believe we are, at the very least, equally hungry.

Pretty sure Chief is on track for 9/9, he's a football savant.

Take a break and see you when we play the Swans.

 

[Eiffel 65]

Take a break and see you when we play the Swans.

And we play them twice this season

 

[Robbo's my hero]

And we play them twice this season

Based on tonight two wins.

I’m 0/6 atm

 

[jezza25]

Anyone going to the pre match function at the Cathedral Hotel?

What’s the function ? We’re heading over for the game so I’m interested

After ports performance yesterday, this is going to be a lot tougher than I expected

That was a mighty performance from port. Hopefully, the heat and humidity takes a bit of a toll on their recovery

 

[Lawrence Angwin]

Ok, this round is weird.

Yeah, it’s weird......but I’m kinda enjoying it so far!

 

[Mr_Plow]

May the odds be in your favour.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

The Gray match-up at the moment when he goes forward scares the daylights out of me.

Same. Who can we play on him?
He’ll kick 6 if Plow goes to him.
Newman I see as the only option

 

[Soapy V]

Yes !

Is that a photo of your kicking style Eskie? Very impressive

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Same. Who can we play on him?
He’ll kick 6 if Plow goes to him.
Newman I see as the only option

Except newman isn't good defensively in 1 on 1 contests and will get completely out manouvered by grey.

How many goals did dusty kick last week? Who was on him when he was forward. Plowman made his errors leaving his man. Not defending his man. He's a perfectly good matchup for Robbie Grey, especially if he's instructed to stick to him.

 

[ESKIE]

Someone suggested Ed run with Gray...

Me. Do it

 

[Chookaradley]

Port were good yesterday but they are definitely gettable. Not a top 8 side IMO.

 

[Neese]

What’s the function ? We’re heading over for the game so I’m interested

Head to the Cathedral Hotel from 1pm. Cost is $10 for members and is run by the SA supporters group.
They have finger food and last year we had the President, Sticks, Andy McKay and Barnaby French speak. They do a raffle and it's a casual way to catch up with fellow Blues supporters. It's a less that 5 minute walk from Adelaide Oval.

 

[Neese]

Also keep your eye out on the social media, the last few years we have had player meet and greets the morning after the match

Wow really? Not a top 8 side based on? Our last 2 months of the season or our first? We were top 4 for half the year. Our list is significantly fitter .. I like people doubting us. Goodluck Saturday

 

[Iamcarlton]

One may consider it hypocrisy that I see different rules for different players (how Fasolo wasn't convincing, while believing Kreuzer will be).

Kreuzer though has proven over the years that level of fitness (bar the significant game-ending injury) rarely impacts on his ability to cover the ground. Players have waltzed into the line-up without match stimulation before.

Phillips can do similar things but is slightly less consistent in the area. I don't think many would have the problem if Kreuzer was to immediately replace him.

Getting around the ground is different to actually performing at a level thats acceptable .
Charlie Curnows effort on the weekend is proof of that .
His injury history clearly shows that caution with his selection after injury and on this occasion no match practice is best practice .
I do not understand why the selectors would even contemplate playing Kruezer this weekend in the seniors .
Its been far too easy to get a senior game as you mentioned including after injury i think its time that changed .

 

[Soapy V]

I'd go with

Simpson Jones Plowman
Garlett Weitering Newman

Phillips Curnow Dow
Murphy Cripps Walsh

Charlie Casboult Cuningham
McGovern McKay Fasolo

SPS Thomas Setterfield Fisher

Gibbons the unlucky to miss out because of match ups
I'd bring in Casboult to help in Ruck against Lycett & Ryder. Needs to just make a contest. Take pressure off Charlie as well and let him run. Leave McKay at FF
Ed to run with R.Gray where ever he goes.
Jones on Westoff, Plowman on Boak
Fasolo gets another run but needs to be involved more

We are a real chance as they have young players as well so shouldn't wear us down.

 

[inyourcool]

fair enough PAFC66, i watched a lot of the game yesterday and I was extremely impressed. i think you will surprise a lot of teams this year

As good as Port were I thought Melbourne were very bad.
