Preview Changes Rd 8 vs Port Power

[MarcusP2]

EH to CHB?

So we're insisting on the ultra tall forward line with Tex, Riley, EH & Fog. Four talls has failed every single time we've tried it.

Oh and D Mac over McPherson, in a rebuild. Any retractions from the "he's a break glass in case of emergency option only" crowd?

Hate going with the smaller backline again. Why? If you insist on dropping Murray then bring in Worrell who has some size and speed at ground level.

Yeah I’m baffled by this selection. Don’t understand DMac, Hately omission instead of Berry, going in fairly small with the exclusion of Murray, and going in super tall which hasn’t worked for us at all this season.

Very weird.

Yup. At least we'll try Fog in the midfield, which should mitigate it a tad.

 

[Danger Zone]

So do we think a tall forward line is good because we are playing 4 of them? Or not worth worrying about as we are playing one tall defender?

Selection is a mess at the moment. Drop Mackay and Himmelberg for Murray and Worrell and we immediately look better structured, plus we are playing more youth.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Who's sub?

They'll have to miss the SANFL game

 

[Scorpus]

Probably will make Frampton the sub and then cop an injury to Butts in the first minute of the game.

Enter 5 tall forwards, 0 KPDs

The 4 talls worked in 2017 and we still refuse to admit that was purely on personal and its not even a remotely viable strategy.

The small defense is also just baffling, alongside not giving Murray any chance to settle.

We're certainly starting to show some signs that we've got one plan and cannot deviate from it.

 

[SC26]

Farrell will kick 3 goals and we'll have who is this rando kicking goals littered through the match day thread

Probably only has a spot on Port's list because of that one quarter, done nothing since.

 

[MatthewB]

Why drop Hatley, give the kid a chance in multiple games, not just 2 and I see Fog has gone back to being our yoyo selection again

 

[hey shorty]

So we've got Fog in - tick
Dropped underperforming McAdam and Moose - tick
Brown, Sloane and Hamill back - tick

Kept Rowe - cross
Gone taller forward - cross
Shorter defence - cross

One day we'll realise we don't simply have to do negative things to balance out the positive.

 

[Murray2503]

Tall tall up forward. Too small down back. Obviously doesn't matter how well Worrell plays in the SANFL as he's not getting a game.

 

[morris086]

4 talls on a likely wet night? Tick
1 key defender on a team with two genuine talls? Tick
Omitting serviceable youngsters (Hately, Murray) whilst rebuilding? Tick

I wasn't expecting to win, but christ.

It's a showdown. Guarantee our sub is on before quarter time (providing he's ready to come on).

My guess is Jones.

 

[Tebdu]

What did hatley do to be dropped wft why recruit him if we don’t give him a chance

We have always yo-yoed young players in and out of the team.

This week Hately and Murray have copped it. Last week it was Fogarty (who is now yo-yoed back in). Will keep happening.

Giving players a block of games in a rebuild is apparently beyond the capabilities of the club

 

[UcantCme]

It's hard to argue with McPherson's and McAdam omission on form

I would have kept Hately in, DMac out

DMac picked purely on experience however experience offers nothing when you don't have an impact on the game

I can understand Hately going out and Berry being retained. What player will best match the heat that Port will undoubtedly bring, that's a no brainer watching Hately last week. Fogarty/Berry >>>>Hately when the heat is on in the midfield.

Surprised they didn't bring Lynch in...

nup.. they’ve all gone quiet.

you watch... mookay will get another year extention at years end and the same spineless mookay lovers will squeal “relax you melters... he’s a break glass option“ yet again... whilst in private celebrating yet another year for the safety blanket they cant seem to let go of...

every game we pick mookay to me is another game I hope we get flogged in... it was a joke that he was kept on the list at the end of 2018.. now its just bizarre.. beyond anything that is anywhere near joke worthy. what a heckn waste.

 

[dblstR]

Worrell still not getting a game. Yikes.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Worrell still not getting a game. Yikes.

To be fair, it's a tough team to break into

 

[Scorpus]

Can anyone explain why Rowe has been given a block of games despite not performing but the same selection integrity does not apply to Hately?
