Preview 2019 Round 18 - Richmond vs Port Adelaide @ MCG, Saturday July 20, 1:45pm

[TigerImposter]

John the Baptist a bit stiff to be dropped though

That’s what happens when you drop your head

 

[peterand]

did you see his workrate last week running from backline to forward line repeatedly

sstack to play every position this week

Stack has been brilliant this year though last game I thought he looked a little tired
We have to remember he is a young gun kid and may need a rest before finals
I could be wrong would imagine the conditioning staff are all over this and will react appropriately just need him in mint condition cone finals

 

[cairo tiger]

thought rance was in

 

[peterand]

Suprised that Kmac is out, Caddy not ready yet?

Kmac an interesting one can see there logic think we do need him in long term with run and height
Caddy they maybe trying to get more run into him he didn’t have much of a preseason

 

[Thrasher97]

Shocked Kmac is dropped, hopefully he's just being rested but glad Graham is in.

Kmac listed in the VFL team though (which may not mean much)

[captain blood 17]

Surprised on KMac’s omission, but I suspect he’s being managed. No issues with selection. Caddy will come back in. We all know it. I would think -
Rioli to the wing.
Baker to HFF.
Sheds to HBF.
Jack G to be part of rotations.
Good team. Great depth.

[guruisatiger]

So considering that Graham was the carryover emergency last week and has come straight back in, it would seem that we've started resting players given the strength of our best 26-30.

I suggested this 2 weeks ago and was laughed at,, buts it's happening

 

[BKM78]

Kamdyn was always in trouble. Was woeful against G Dubya. I hope he finds some form in the 2s. I'm not confident for him though. This side looks strong on paper and could steam into the finals (Nank in an exception).
Good luck Chronicles

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Excellent ins
Egg has done well but his strength (lack of it) was going to be an issue against stronger bodies

 

[Tiges1229]

So Ports in’s are better than there outs lol

 

[Spluff]

Interesting. Not sure I agree with the selections but I'm glad to see they're willing to make the tough calls. In previous years we've been held back by always picking players in Dimma's 'best 22', regardless of form and circumstances. Remember when we rushed back Conca, Sheds, and Griffiths for finals?

 

[dwwaino]

Macca is our best see ball, get ball player imo. Has a massive tank and a big body which he uses well. Either rested or disciplinary otherwise I just don't get it.

 

[Tenacious T]

Noticed Nanks named in VFL. Great to see.
Slowly but surely we're getting the gang back!!

 

[TimmytheTiger]

Adam Methuselah Moses and Jesus.

As long as it’s not Lazarus

 

[Tenacious T]

Selections are typical of Dimmas forward thinking.
Reckon you'll see Cadds, Kmac and Nanks back for Pies GF against us next week.

 

[The Mighty]

T. Nankervis

The best thing about that side is T Nankervis in the ruck!!!

 

[Ceehook]

an important message to all those attending the game

please remember to put your teeth in (if you have falsey's)

dont want any of our clan mistaken for Port supporters

 

[Waca Jr]

McIntosh is probably the most overrated player on this board. Had about three good games early in the season and has done stuff all since. Averages 14 disposals a game. So glad he’s gone.

Bullshit. Has Graham covered for speed, agility abd fitness. Graham is a fat Plodder

 

[Waca Jr]

K Mac dropped

 

[Morro]

No wines or Ebert helps us a lot.

 

[CholEstrol]

Surprised on KMac’s omission, but I suspect he’s being managed.

Me too given we don't tend to list omissions as managed.
Short named on the wing with Sheds back but Shorty a totally different player to KMac (not that team lineups mean alot though).

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Do you reckon they want to trial Baker on a HBF like they did in the VFL? Maybe in a Caleb Daniel type role?

That side is crazy good for a VFL team

 

[peternorth]

Kmac adds versatility with height and on ball ability. Perhaps needs to get the ball a bit more.

 

[Ceehook]

recent selections
talk of us getting complacent or comfortable
could they be the way for the match committee to keep the whole playing group hungry and focused ?
there's probably 6-8 players now thinking s**t I could be next

awaken the sleeping giant and all aboard toot toot
