Preview Changes and Preview Thread Rd 6 Port vs West Coast

[OxfordCambridge]

This is another classic "Stinkers thinkers he's won already" game. He's taking WC cheap, and toying with the team sheet.

I don't expect that we could possibly lose (could we?), but nothing would surprise me with this clown. The vibes are not good.
And we've seen it before!

 

[Bevoman]

Those that believe georgiades isn’t getting picked because he is out the door have got it wrong in my opinion, it made no difference with Amon. We happily continued to play him and it’s in our best interests to get the best trade deal to play him.

They obviously want him to string a few good game together and sort out those yips.

It is not just yips, it is his timing and he keeps running under the ball.
If has no Plan B when he flies and fails to take a big grab.

 

[backtozero]

This board is ridiculous.

Before selections its all "West Coast are worse than a country football team" and "they're basically Fitzroy '96!" then we bring in a couple of developing SANFL players that aren't everybody's first preference and all of a sudden it's a danger game and we might be tanking.

We're going to win between 7 - 12 goals and you can all go back to stressing about Ken getting another contract.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Changes as expected.

Jonas was always going to come in when fit. Dixon out is a loss to structure. Not sure Lord solves that. Nor Teakle.

Lycett out makes sense and needed to happen.

Williams has been fine. Him out is no loss.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Jonas was always going to come in when fit. Dixon out is a loss to structure. Not sure Lord solves that. Nor Teakle.

Lord goes much closer to a like-for-like Dixon replacement than Georgiadies.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

If Jonas, as a senior player and captain, needs to play the current weakest team in the league to find form the game is past him.

 

[240volt]

Teakle was preferred by Carr as far back as the internal trial because of his leap, but Lycett grabbed the #1 ruck role and expectedly was terrible. Mind you we shouldn't expect much more from Teakle.

Makes no sense that Teakle hasn't been the ruck at SANFL level only to come and play ruck at AFL level, but that disconnect sums up the Club right now. Keep convincing yourselves you're connected by telling yourself so whilst doing the complete opposite of what connected Clubs do.

Happy for Lord but disappointed Georgiades isn't getting a run. Given he's off contract at the end of the year I won't be surprised in the slightest to see him leave if he doesn't get games going forward. Playing him in the SANFL isn't going to do anything to fix his yips kicking for goal so I don't quite get why he's not playing at AFL level.

It’s pretty simple, he’s not playing AFL because he’s doing sweet FA.
Unfortunately port have some history of playing players that are doing much the same.
I’d prefer we had a team in the VFL and give this SANFL the push.
Problem is we are not good enough list wise to carry more than a couple of under performers.
There’s just no other option until he shows improvement.
Let’s hope that’s very soon because he has shown before he can play.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lord goes much closer to a like-for-like Dixon replacement than Georgiadies.

Yes, Ollie is 197cm and 94kg, good sized key position forward. He can do a bit of chop out ruck work too.

He has earned his call up.

I hope Dylan is the tactical sub, he can come on and fit in at either end of the ground.

 

[Wargreymon90]

It’s quite clear we need to target a ruck.

Very true there will be an emergency meeting in Bunker 8 straight after the game.

When Marshall played SANFL footy from 17-19 he averaged around a dozen disposals and a goal per game. My point is that it was hardly conducive to his development as a KPF at AFL level. MG has been finding plenty of the footy at AFL and SANFL level, that has never been his issue. His issue has and will always be his conversion for goal. Sticking him in the SANFL is not going to improve that, and if anything, prolonged SANFL time may only stunt his development.

Dylan is a terrible sub.

Yes he is versatile but he just doesn't have the leg speed to take advantage of being the fresh legged sub.

Today's presser:
“We think Brynn Teakle has capabilities to play in all three areas of the ground; forward, back as well as a ruck where we drafted him from,” Hinkley stated.
Hinkley’s hopeful of the 23-year-old featuring around the ground and forming a partnership with fellow utility Jeremy Finlayson

will head back to SANFL level to rediscover his best form after axing the ruckman for Round 6.

“Mitch is learning,” Hinkley said of the youngster’s non-selection.
“He’s had a remarkable start to his career but he’s a young player. I reference Todd Marshall

, who was in a similar position early in his career. I know how Mitch is invested in our footy club.”

 

[theouthouse]

But he has the smarts!

Would swap him and Farrell in an instant. How Farrell is getting a game in defence is beyond me, bloke leaks goals and hasn't offered much in terms of intercepts and effective rebounds.

 

[tribey]

The man crush on Hayes has overwhelmed some posters.
Hopefully they will get over it.

Yes, fancy wanting a ruckman who is enduring his 6th year on this list to be selected amidst a ruck crisis.

Nicely explained by Ken/the club. I specially like the Georgiades comment with reference to Marshall's long development time.

So if Todd’s anything to go by, Mitch can expect a career-reviving chat circa 2025?

I cant see williams as the sub fit. No offence to him, he shouldnt have been dropped, but i think the sub has to be a burst player. speed isnt a gift of his

Williams will be the sub because Hinkley has zero F@*%ing idea!!

 

[The Hobo]

It’s quite clear we need to target a ruck.

100% - was clear pretty early last season that Lycett was on his last legs.

The problem is, who do we go for? We need someone near ready - which clubs have reserve rucks that can step in?
