Preview Preview and Changes: Round 6 - Port v Collingwood

[RussellEbertHandball]

Rest Charlie, bring in Sweet and play 2 rucks against Cox and Cameron and push Ee-Varn forward cause he can mark and kick straight. Give him a bit of a rest as he has had a massive workload and let him play about half the game in the forward line.

FFS learn from last year and manage players, dont drive them into the ground, and give other players a go so you can assess them and they have had a taste come finals time if you have to play #27, 28 or 29 best player on the list in September.

If Lord was fit it would be Lord for Charlie and he could do a decent amount of rucking to help out Soldo.

Boak will come in, I'd make him sub so that means McEntee gets the chop, but Ken being Ken it probably means Mead will disappointingly be dropped.

 

[Scodges]

They should rest Dixon for a month and make him come back through magpies. He can't move and is an absolute liability

It’s also embarrassing watching him limp, defenders feed off that too.

Yep they know he can't move , that's why his direct opponent just takes the piss. He might still be able to provide somewhat of a contest due to his size but when we don't have the ball they just run rings around him.
He saved face kicking a late goal last week but it was genuinely sad watching him walk around last Saturday.
Even Frampton would give him a bath this week in his current state.

Frampton giving Dixon a bath…. Now that’s an image stuck with me.

Nice plan, but I think Kenny hates playing 2 rucks as much as he does dropping McEntee.

 

[Mr Gui Guojie]

Anyone know what's holding Sinn out of the side currently?

Wat

G'day Port fans. I'm a bit of a stat head and thought I would share the following with you all;

In the last five seasons the eventual Premier has been rated top two for Metres Gained Differential;

2023: Pies +268.2 per game (Ranked 2nd) Dees +298.6 (Ranked 1st)
2022: Cats +478.8 per game (Ranked 1st)
2021: Dees +386.6 per game (Ranked 1st)
2020: Tigers +342.4 per game (Ranked 1st)
2019: Tigers +291 per game (Ranked 2nd) Cats 298.2 (Ranked 1st)

The top two teams for this stat since it has been tracked are;

2015 Hawks: +579.4 per game (Won Flag)
2016 Swans: +575.5 per game (Made GF)

2024: Port Adelaide +594.2 per game. Early days but encouraging signs!

Best of luck against the Pies this weekend...cheers.

Now it can stick with you a bit longer. In my defense it only took 5 minutes

Who would you drop for him to come in?

 

[gbear]

Jones maybe.

Do you want Elliot to kick 5 goals then?

Where's Billy's hand gone?

As opposed to 4 goals?

So whoever finishes 2nd in the stat this year will have the flag in the bag. Good to know.

Lol I'll admit it occured to me, and I left it in

Which we may just see on Saturday.

I would like to hear Schulzenfest opinion on two rucks

Farrell will probably get Hill

 

[MrChow]

Charlie will kick 5 this week…

No resting to be had.

 

[longdonkey]

It was reported in the injury thread that Boak didn’t complete the main training and Dixon hasn’t trained all week due to illness.

Looks like McEntee will get a reprieve. Whilst, Sweet might get a call up if Dixon goes out.

I suppose the question is, how many are sick?

If they've got what I've got expect some late outs. Saying that I'm not a professional sportsman in my 20's

 

[longdonkey]

Didn't Stinkers rattle off some bullshit about not playing injured players and not running players into the ground.

Not even out of April and Dixon is done and Soldo looks like he could ruck 95% of match time for the entire season.

It's hard to discern one lot of bullsh*t from the other.

[Mr Experience]

Who would you drop for him to come in?

Depends what we consider to be Sinn's best position. Could he be worse than Burton? Has he been playing well enough to be in the selection conversation?

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I would love a bit of speed with Sinn and Anastasopoulos coming into the side in the near future.

 

[Buget]

It’s my favourite day of the week. Today we get to find out if the Sweet or McEntee fans will be happy.
