Giants are very skillful. Ross will be hoping for less than ideal conditions, so MCG probably gives them a better chance to win.Saints at mcg which is interesting

I know we diverge on what Lyons can bring to the team and there is no doubt McCarthy must come back in, but I would bring him in at the expense of Lohmann. A few here have said it, but Lyons offers greater ‘insurance’ value, should a key mid go down. I am yet to see what Lohmann brings in the Seniors. Based on his performances in the senior side, Lohmann is yet to achieve Jack Dyer’s benchmark as a ‘good ordinary footballer’. Conversely, Lyons is an elite ball user by hand and he is a fantastic tackler. Comments by briztoon in relation to Lyons fitness do worry me though. Fagan is in the best position to judge, but Lyons might just be a perfect selection as SUB.Port when in form are probably the quickest play on overlap run side in the competition IMO, can not afford Lyons in from the start. Plus please do not consider Jack Gunston Fages.
Out- Jarryd Lyons.
In- Lincoln McCarthy.
Sub from- Lohmann, Lyons, Prior, Sharp.
Expecting Zorks to have a huge Finals series.
No-one executes a flat precision foot pass better than him.
Still a star.

The Saints can shut you down more easily if you rely on space in the forward line (like most leading key forwards for example).Saints are going to get flogged, because they don’t have a game plan other than “shut the game down and hope the opposition gets bored and stops trying”. That is quite literally Ross’s only gameplan, and it’s why his teams never can get it done - the opposition doesn’t go to sleep in finals.
IT'S FINALS TIME: Who plays who, week one fixture revealed
Second qualifying final
Brisbane v Port Adelaide at the Gabba, 7.25pm AEST
“Details on purchasing tickets for week one of the finals will be announced later on Monday morning.”
At least this time all teams are coming off a bye together!Can't stand the pre-finals bye, I'm going to be obsessively thinking about this game for the next 12 days.
A much needed bye for us.At least this time all teams are coming off a bye together!
Going away camping for the weekend to make sure I have something meaningful to doCan't stand the pre-finals bye, I'm going to be obsessively thinking about this game for the next 12 days.
I was thinking that.The midfield is obviously Port's strength, but I do think we have the players to shut down a Rozee, Butters, SPP if they get off the chain, anyone of Berry, Dunkley or Robertson could be called on to do the job.
Is it just my perception or does Powell-Pepper always play well against us?
McCarthy for Lohmann with Lyons as the sub works for me.
If we play Melbourne, I could see the logic in having Fort as the sub.
I think Lyons taking Dunkleys defensive role allowing him to play more attacking in the last is probably our best hope.
Would also consider Matho. Apart from that I don't see any likely to have much of an impact
The more I watch Dev play the more I think his future lies in a role as a defensive tagger.I'd give Dev a run with role on ball again, with either Butters or Rozee the likely candidates; Think he has the athleticism to go with them a bit more & I thought he actually did alright against Sinclair on the weekend.
Stats say Sinclair had 30 disposals for the game, but when your opponent gives you 18 chances to get a cheapie kicking in it's not hard to rack 'em up. I thought in general play he didn't have much influence at all.
I think this will be a big game for our midfield depth. Drew could go to Neale and Dunkley to Butters.
Need the second stringers to match up well with Ports midfield depth
Accept Lyons doesn’t run both ways, is slow and doesn’t have a defensive mindset.
