Preview R23: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[Slippery Pete]

Serious question.

And the answer is no.

If you’re gonna give answers like that, I’ll just go back to Kirky.

Taylor not at training today. Injured... ill????

Tex and Max walking laps.

Nank and Curtin in B team

Curtin and Edwards looking more confident this week after their performances.

Gollant in A team.

If would be a very AFC move to drop Curtin this week

 

[Trigger13]

Anyone know what injury Thilly sustained at training today?

 

[skam85]

Not Ready for What?

Fitness?
Physicality?
Complexity of the game?

Curious …

His SANFL form has been pretty good.
Many were arguing Bond wasn't ready but hey presto guess what, we have Luke Brown 2.0

It's only his last match which has shown any signs of being ready. I have agreed with Bigman up until now. It seems to me that his main problem is having a slight, albeit fairly tall, body, impacting physical competitiiveness. Following his last match, he might be worth a go now, but probably after another preseason he will be cherry ripe.

I don't think playing him in two dead rubber games is going to negatively impact his career so go for it I say

Well, he's been on a massive learning curve in the SANFL. Found it hard to get himself in the right positions earlier in the year, but has done better over maybe the last month. Nothing to be gained by rushing him up a level when he's only now getting comfortable and confident.

Where did you hear this?

 

[haydo]

Reckon we'll win this game pretty comfortably. Got us down to win by 30+ we just seem to have their measure at the moment

 

[Trigger13]

Where did you hear this?

It was reported he left the track early, pointing to his knee

I was waiting for the folk that post this guys (JAdelaide) tweets but it seems they might be player specific and Matty's not a board favourite... Wonder what the Wabbit from the NT has to say, always only seems to be active after a loss?

So i'm still struggling to see how Port can kick a winning score in this game without Georgiades, Dixon is cooked and Rat can't kick, so we keep Rioli quiet with Bond and then who do they have?

We must beat or at the very least match Port in the middle and the game is ours.

Yeah and for the last 3 times we have played them we have. I don't see much difference in there game from the showdown this year

 

[Shifty Crow]

Edwards isn't ready yet.

Ryan is probably ready though.

I think Edwards can rise to the next level

hasn’t the CrapTiser been preaching that Dixon is in rare form that can take them to a flag ?

As you seem to be struggling, I'll help you out.

Here are the goalkickers from 2 weeks ago. Take George's goals out and it's still 18.

Look at all the games before the Sydney game, the sydney game was anomaly and a one off. Rioli also doesn't kick 4 goals on bond.

And Boak fluked one from 14 shots
