Preview Changes and Preview Thread vs Bombers

[davesnothere]

Dixon, Marshall, Finlayson is a great forwardline of talls and the structure they bring is important. Don’t forget how we almost broke even against crappy West Coast once Marshall was KO’d with no Dixon.

When good teams start to dominate our midfield - usually this year Lycett was the issue and when Dixon went in the ruck it changed the game. So it’s a rob Peter to pay Paul situation.

So far against WC and StK Teakle has done his job our mids have been on top. Probably the same against ESS and Norf. The issue will be against Gawn/Melb - good ruck and midfield - I don’t think we will have an answer.

We play to Gawn.

 

[MrChow]

We play to Gawn.

Then we hope to hell Dixon can jump, and his knee gets better

Imagine if they actually picked Sam Hayes. I'd fall off my chair

Hayes will never be picked as we are not reliant on hit outs to win games. I am paraphrasing Josh Carr btw.

 

[Adz2332]

So Dixon said he had a “PCL injury…or issue…” what does that mean? Is it a tear or is it buggered? Does he play on one leg all year or is there eventually a game where he does irreparable damage and is then out for 8 weeks?

exactly! is it worth getting him right now, miss 8 weeks but have him at the pointy end if we are good enough?

 

[longdonkey]

If it was actually my decision. Hayes would be #1 ruck.
If I was told by the list manager to not pick him for whatever reason and I wanted to win, I would pick Lycett or Finlayson as ruck.
If I was picking for the post-Hinkley era, I would pick Visentini
In no circumstance would I pick Teakle. It will be an extremely weird selection if we stick with Teakle after how insanely bad he has been.

The issue with Teakle is that sooner or later one of these opposition ruckmen will not only be BOG but will hurt us on the scoreboard too and Draper could be the man.

Channel 7 just said Jonas back this week

Channel 7 just said Jonas back this week

no surprise.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Enough of sack hinkley, it's time for sack carr. Get ahead of the curve.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Seems straight forward.

Marshall in. Lord out
Jonas in. Duursma out.

Bonner/Mead/Evans sub.


Jonas is the captain and will come in when fit - don’t agree with it but that’s what will happen. Means Bergs will push up the ground more

 

[dirty2]

Someone needs to tap Jonas and Lycett on the shoulder and tell them they should retire.

Jonas should bash Jonas like Jim Carey in the courthouse bathroom in Liar Liar.

Mid season…. With paperwork, Richmond style….

Extra pick options?

Sack Carr is for amateurs, I'm starting the sack Buckley movement. #SackBuckley

Don't judge me on 0-5, judge me on my 4 game win streak.

David King doing some analysis on Port.

JHF, Boak, Butters, Drew making clearances #2 in the AFL for metres gained from stoppages.

Also #1 for clearance from stoppage by hand.
