Preview Round 4 v Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval Friday 9th April 7.50pm

[tunksy]

play a 2nd ruck/forward so we have options down the line and to drop back
play another an extra mid not another hbf. cos egg is s**t and we dont need to take a risk with houli, but he'll likely be in.

out egg presita cotchin macca
in ross martyn ryan houli

looking forward to seeing how we bounce back. key forwards look to be dominating and we are just not using jack and lynch to the same way for whatever reason.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Port and Tigers both played like they had their eyes on this clash.

Port are full strength and Tigers now missing a bit and we look like submitting a similar midfield to the one Port smashed last season. The one thing we have in our favour though is Soldo was badly samshed up going into that game and here we have Nankervis, who might be looking to take his ill humour out on Port Adelaide. So that is our hope. But I think we have our work cut out sadly.

Houli in for Egg.

Ross for Cotchin.

Collier-Dawkins for Prestia.

Rioli for Macintosh.

Chol a possible inclusion, unsure of how they shuffle things to accomodate him, possibly by resting Aarts.

I wouldn’t mind seeing us go the knuckle here against this feral lot. Duursma and Butters high on my shopping list. Be nice to smash All Australian imposter Byrne-Jones as well.

It is one of those games where you might get beaten so the main thing you want to get out of it is to etch fear into the minds of your opponents so they never want to face you again.

EDIT: Sounds like Cotchin is likely to play, but in any event Martyn seems to be ahead of Collier-Dawkins for now.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Reckon we need another tall in for the poort game to give a Nank a chop out...

Ryan has a bit of X factor but very raw...Dimma will likely go for Chol...let’s hope Marbs fires up

chimp will play

Egg gets named this week. BF blows up.

Chol gets named as well we're ****ed.

 

[TigerTime88]

Reckon we need a big game from Tom Lynch. Has been just plodding along playing his role for a while now, but on the cash he is on it would be good to see him dominating.

Should be kicking bags like Mckay did.

 

[Ashman OG]

Surely we get to see RCD and Ross if Cotchin is out as well, right?

Agreed, if rcd cant get a crack at this point he never will.

Shat the bed last season as well when we played them, i will melt if he plays.

A lot of key forwards having good seasons. He is not

 

[Waca Jr]

Even If we get rolled here i can't see Melbourne or the aints beating us. 3 and 2 at worst after 5 4 and 1 at best

 

[tigerdan]

If Port are half decent they should win this week by at least 5 goals. We will name a s**t side and umps will gift them enough frees to win fairly easily.

Which means if we beat them then they may as well give up and go back to the SANFL.

On the other hand If we name Chol i'll open up a betting account and put it all on Port.

aints will destroy us at their safe house shitihad . when are we gonna play em at the G

 

[SavDog23]

A classic 4 point game

 

[box070]

This will be out most even match up this year. All teams we have played so far have been a month further advanced in preparations. Looking forward to what transpires. Either way it’s hardly season defining

When hell freezes over

 

[Tigers Time]

We play like we did vs Swans we get even more smacked, unless port play like they did against the Eagles then it’s a cripple fight s**t fest and who knows which team that favours.

It’ll be a cripple fight or a smashing if the trend of round 3 continues.

No tip for now I’ll wait to see the changes first.

 

[Richo is God]

Any chance Richmond members or GA tickets available for the game?

 

[AlorraVex]

2 flags since Lynch joined, so I’d be happy enough even if he never kicked another goal. That said, I’d love him to kick 10.

 

[juss]

I think we can turn it around but probably not this week.

Key players out, second 6 day break, travelling to a team that will be keen for some revenge from last year.

Sadly, Port by 25.
Long season though so not a disaster.
