Preview R23: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[George CantStandYa]

Normally I’m against it this type of talk but it could actually add to the fear of losing and add pressure.

It’s not as if they need anymore incentive to win given their finals position.

All the pressure is on them and we have none.

And if we lose it’s not the end of the world.

Yep, these are the games we go alright in.

2nd vs 15th, zero expectation on us to perform = no pressure.

As long as someone burries that flog butters into the turf at some stage.

You don't need to - Butters and Rozee love nothing more than slinging themselves at the turf at the slightest touch

Anyone suggesting that Murphy gets dropped is living in cuckoo land.

He hasn’t been dropped in the last 4 years, it certainly ain’t happening now.

We’ll make it one they don’t spring up for as soon as they hear the whistle.

 

[Geoffa32]

you thinking its worth a 1 or 2 game suspension for one of the boys to make that happen

Murphy..... his best deed.

you blokes wish you picked him over chayce jones.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I worry that with Tex out this really gives the other mob a real shot…

I know they have outs as well but Tex just holds the structure and aliir now can just enjoy a game of zero accountability

Agree , Tex is really important still and takes load off the others

We need to learn how to live without him eventually though

Happy with Curtin cameos forward when not playing mid and go another smaller guy . Ideally debut Edwards , why not

Don't act like you won't be calling him a flog when he moves to Victoria

 

[FR0GGY]

you blokes wish you picked him over chayce jones.

Absolutely.
Great player but comes across as a complete flog.

 

[ABAB]

Do you know who Soligo is now??? Back to back medal????

 

[crows dude]

you blokes wish you picked him over chayce jones.

Of course.

But then he would have been our flog.

 

[footy4ever]

And if we lose it’s not the end of the world.

If I was given the choice of winning three in a row but had to drop this one, I'd take that every time ... but reckon we win it anyway.

 

[footy4ever]

you blokes wish you picked him over chayce jones.

Certainly.

Doesn't stop us knowing he's a whiney little bitch-slapper.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Is there a side that gets kissed on the d*ck more with opposition injuries than Port?

No, but I don't think this is a case of it. Tex isn't the same player as last year and, seven goal last year aside, his record in Showdowns since 2017 had actually been pretty average.

 

[Rash]

Don't act like you won't be calling him a flog when he moves to Victoria

he's not going anywhere.

 

[Scorpus]

And if we lose it’s not the end of the world.

There's two acceptable outcomes this week

1. A win
2. A loss so bad that Nicks gets sacked

 

[BRL121]

He's already done that, sacrificing his neck to win a showdown.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Serious question: how much do people think Tex out will hurt the chances of a win?

 

[AFC979810]

2nd vs 15th.

And people still believe in Matty F*ckin Nicks.

We should not be 15th.

i know Edwards is smaller then Curtin.... but he is still over 190cm! LOL
Ryan deserve a debut more then Edwards to be fair

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Bond to Willie?
