Preview Changes Vs Port Adelaide, round 3 2021

[daddy_4_eyes]

We gotta have the least imaginative selection committee going around.
Same players being cycled in and out week after week.

 

[InTheWings]

I like those changes.

Ah Chee is in the 22 and he has chopped out in the ruck before, so might that be an option if Allen's shoulder is too sore?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Last time Petch played Port at Easter he went alright. Unfortunately 21 of his teammates were shocking.

 

[bzparkes]

Was hoping there'd be more melts over Petch to be honest.

Somewhat disappointed.

 

[Coasters7]

Not sure about the changes. Reward a bloke who had no stats in 3/4 of a game and only a week off while not showing anything of note to say he deserved a return.

Meanwhile Brander is killing it and will probably now be named the sub on top of that, disrupting his momentum.

I’m 100% certain we’d get more production out of Shuey up forward and Brander in the middle. With the added bonus of not running Shuey off his legs in his first game back.

 

[THE A5]

Port have Dixon, Marshall, Georgiades and resting ruck. Is Allen going into defence this week?

It's still early.

George isn't that tall. Shep or Rotham could take him

 

[Mulldogg]

Ah Chee should be the make shift ruck rather than an already banged up Oscar Allen

who is our future captain and long term KPF after JK hangs up the boots.

28 year old Arch on a 1yr contract on minimum chips is far more expendable.

 

[WCErevival]

Lets hope the 10th year is the charm for Ah Chee

 

[greatwhiteshark]

So apparently if you can’t get a kick in the AFL and then get dropped to the WAFL and also can’t get a kick you get recalled. Wtf is with the MC obsession with Petch? He can’t play football period, he has zero to offer and it is so annoying me that they think this bloke is going to become something he is not. Now we play a game against the best side in the comp one man down.

 

[Lazzas]

Obviously the management like Petch.
Allen hurts his shoulder so let’s put him in the ruck against Lycett and his offsider to test it out.

Perhaps Brendon Ah Chee may Ruck has before in pre season.

They clearly are idiots

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Would have much preferred Winder to Petch.
Selectors obviously hoping he can replicate his effort against Port 2 years ago.

Yep pretty deflating tbh. Would be surprised if O’Neill offered less as a forward flanker than Petrosmelly

You could grab any B grade amateur midfielder who will find the ball more often than Petch.

I can handle Ah Chee if that is how they use him. Leaping centre bounce relief and then becomes a second string big body who can get a bit of the ball. With Darling doing some forward ruck work and not using Allen, it could be ok.
Not happy if they want to use him as a straight mid come small forward as they have in the past.

XON very unlucky to lose his spot while Redden keeps his.

There has so far this year (and all of 2020) been a total lack of imagination in the selection world.
Brander may have found his role in the middle. Use him instead of Redden or the spot we are using Ah Chee in this week.
Langdon gets dropped and we recycle Petruccelle. Hope he comes good but I'd love to see Winder get a go.
I know Trew had a spit in the WAFL practice, but the actual game stuff looked pretty good. Could actually change the team dynamic for the good if he played.
So the daring play would be Trew for Redden, Brander for Ah Chee, Winder for Petruccelle. Maybe not all this week, but I'd love to see it progressively over the next few weeks.

We would get more return playing Brander as a small forward than Petch.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

One of the priorities this season should be O’Neill’s development in the midfield.

If this means Shuey plays a bit on a forward flank I’m okay with it.

Dropping him? Nah. Not okay.

Quick question, do the tickets still work if their screenshotted off another device

 

[KERRPOW]

I hope petch proves us all wrong but i doubt it.

 

[Doashuey]

Obeanie1 you were right I was wrong re Ahchee for Xon. But I still think it is a very bad call.
Petch but and no Brander is even worse.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

You give a guy enough chances I have no doubt he will pop up somewhere and have a day in the sun, it will by an anomaly though.

Yes

Vardy out. Good
