Preview Changes Vs Port Adelaide, round 3 2021

[its_dave]

Surely O Allen isn’t being considered for ruck duties? Shoulder looked sore last weekend.

Glad JJ kept his spot. Cripps a bit lucky to stay in. Needs to polish up a bit

 

[The Passenger]

Hope the MC is planning on rotating that second ruck role and not just relying on Oscar.

Also XON pretty unlucky, especially to lose out to Petch or Cripps.

No complaints about doing Vardy. Langdon will get another shot at don't point but has been a bit beaten up early in his Eagles career.

Looks like port are going to unleash the tall timber up forward but I think we'll be comfortable with. Hurn can play tall when required, and Rotham is a perfect fit for Georgiadis. I'd rather that than trying to chase around a whole heap of speedy forwards all day, of which there's gonna be enough chasing anyway.

Would have loved to hear the conversation and reasoning between Simmo, O’Neill and Petch that saw O’Neill dropped and Petch recalled

 

[Astro7]

I'm more a fan of this happening in the WAFL. He's versatile enough to be a sub, sort of an emergency anywhere type, but hasn't shown he's an AFL standard player yet.

He's AFL standard, just not consistent, but am ok with him having a trot, as a sub, or rotation..maybe he'll surprise us?
looks like he gets a gig as does Petrol again...both need to show something in this game, no weak links against Port...yeh right.
but we wait on Williams, Cameron, Oneill, Brander, Trew, Winder, and the Edwards?

I don't mind that we're playing mids in the midfield and forwards forward unlike the Woosha days. Would just be nice if we had better forwards.

Redden is named on the HFF though

I don't read anything into where they're lined up on the team sheets. I assume Stocks or Kate does that from the 22.

He's the extra mid. One always starts forward.

 

[FKASC]

He's the extra mid. One always starts forward.

So we’re playing mids forward? That’s what I was getting at

Sure but wouldn’t Ah Chee’s WAFL form warrant a spot over Petch?

Petch coming straight back into the side after apparently doing nothing in the WAFL irks me.

 

[BeornJ]

Why are we bringing in a young forward with pace to replace a young forward without pace against a side that can struggle against pace?

Also, according to the stat sheet he didn't play his role rd 1. Don't know what his role was but he didn't do it

Ah Chee is playing

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Petrucelle has to make an impact or Langdon will get another game. Both would know that they lose out to Rioli unless they can really turn it on. Hopefully Cameron can build some form and make an impact of Langdon and Petch don't.

 

[TY24]

We will beat Port by 69.

Nice.

 

[TY24]

Marshall, Georgiades

Are they both playing? Usually they only pick one of them

 

[squashface]

Ah Chee is playing

Ah yes, the AFL app is deceiving with the ins and outs by not showing an unplayed injury sub coming into the 22 as an In.

My bad.

I’m still outraged though for a good reason, I’m sure.

 

[DanWCE]

Nice.

The boys need to dive in and suck it up to get it done, so to speak

Yeah each team now has one more out than in, it's ******* stupid. That's why you're outraged, and rightly so

 

[RookiePick]

Could go that way with Port not even using the lubricant. .

 

[kerr87]

Don't see how and why Petch deserves a game. Unless he tags a HBF he adds no value.
Need a solid game. Would really rather we played Langdon who is a much more complete player.

 

[DanWCE]

It's a 50-50 contest but someone's gotta do it

 

[InTheWings]

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

Yes

I may have agreed until I saw that instance last week when the ball was kicked for Langdon to run on to and he was overtaken easily by two opposition plays. You cannot have small, slow small forwards who rely on work rate alone

 

[Tugga27]

Is it fair to say two of our recruits in Witherden and Langdon have been really underwhelming this year?

Witherden can't get a game and Langdon has been awful.

Early days but they've really disappointing so far.
