Changes for the showdown?

[FishingRick04]

well, if you didn't mean chappy coming back was setting a bad culture, what on earth were you trying to say in that paragraph? Was chad holding his spot setting a bad culture?

Chad holding his spot YES, his form was below ave at best. All I will say is Gold Passes and the 1,000 posts from people mentioning it. Gold Passes if they exists is a bad culture IMO.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Forza, there's absolutely no chance PB will be back in for this game. I'd bet my house on it.

Antithetic pot of salmon.

His knee was never right to begin with and he'll need some match conditioning under his belt before we can expect to see vintage Chad in the house.

Punting Chad for his gold pass would be like doing the same to Tredders in 07/08 when he was battling due to no/limited preseason.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Even if you want Chad to get a spell in the SANFL at some point, surely we leave him in for the Showdown at least? It's like dropping Fev before he plays Collingwood.

 

[PhoenixPower]

exactly.....

its for that reason that josh carr would be good to bring back too, and start him in the centre square

but the carr thing wont happen

chad stays

Your house is safe.

No Carr or P Burgoyne for Power
PORT Adelaide coach Mark Williams has ruled out recalling veteran duo Josh Carr and Peter Burgoyne for Showdown XXVII at AAMI Stadium on Sunday, but says Shaun Burgoyne will play against Adelaide provided he gets through training. More.

And on junior burger:

"He's not going to play huge game-time, but we're thinking that 50 per cent of Shaun Burgoyne is probably better than 70 per cent of someone else."

In: Chaplin, S.Burgoyne, Hartlett
Out: -

It is a sunday game after all

Who do you reckon Forza? Regards to Junior?

Lower will go, Krakouer, Borady or Stewart?

 

[Schulzenfest]

That wasn't directed at you.

Also, I don't think Hartlett will be in this week. Playing a skinny 18 year old with dodgy hamstrings with a Showdown as his first game back would be stupidity.

You lads rekon this team we field on the weekend would be the best team that we have had all season?

or does matty thomas belong in our best 22?

It's a very tough decision. I think there will be 2 changes with chaplin and junior coming in. Hartlett should play sanfl to make sure those hammys are ok.

In: Chaplin, S.Burgoyne
Out: Lower, Krakouer

I think krak has been a bit down over the last couple of weeks, so he'd the one i'd drop for junior.

 

[ExpectToWin]

My prediction

In: S.Burgoyne, Chaplin, Thomas
Out:

INT Broadbent, Salter, Lower, Stewart, Burgoyne, Thomas, Chaplin

Final Result

In: S Burgoyne, Chaplin
Out: Salter, Lower

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Lade in doubt apparantly?

 

[morell]

What I would like to see;

OUT: Lower
IN: Chaplin

But I think this will happen;

OUT: Lower, Broadbent
IN: Chaplin, S.Burgoyne

 

[FishingRick04]

You would think it's tough to drop Boradie after two goals.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

No PB or Carr according to Choco

^ do you read the thread before posting?

 

[elsler]

So if theres no lade who do we bring in or do we make thurstans ruck ??

Thurstans would probably work since he's only up against Sellar and it avoids the too many tall backs or trying to play two half fit players in the midfield problem, and that's the way I think Choco will go, but I think it's time to give one of the youngsters some experience - probably trying Giles is of more medium term benefit than the other two.

I wouldn't be dropping Krak against the Crows. His speed and line breaking ability are exactly what we need to beat Adelaide's zone.

 

[Forzaport]

Shaun a certain starter

Article also has hartlett, thomas and chaplin in the mix although you'd think chappy would be a lock

Lade missed training with a head cold. Hopefully he'll be over it by sunday 4pm

 

[HugeJohnson]

I'm really pissed off that Shaun Burgoyne will be playing after no match practice in 13 weeks and admitting that he'll only play 50% game time....stupidity IMHO
