Preview Changes & prematch discussion Rd6: vs Port Adelaide

[Waussie]

Watch the boys sing the song in the rooms again ; Zurhaar came off a hero with a clutch goal and he's got the love and adoration that indicates he's sealing a spot.

And way off in the back with the rest of the boys is LDU, and it's hard to see but I just saw him with this look of determination and hunger like he wanted to be in that circle.

Pretty sure they all do.

 

[shinboner magic]

Think higgo will miss but evw will play.

LDU to come in t

I'd rest EVW anyway and reward the form of Hibberd or Ahern

Hibberd I’m not sold on - looks like a deer in headlights most of the time.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Hibberd I’m not sold on - looks like a deer in headlights most of the time.

I rate him, just needs a stretch of games at afl level now to adapt to pace and for us to judge him properly

He's ready now and is the most in form player along with Ahern in our vfl side

 

[Billy Not Really]

Pretty sure they all do.

I was talking going from the saints game to his last game to now being rested and sensing signs there's a bar to set for himself because Zurhaar in my eyes was a hero for tonight.

Ofcourse they ******* all do smartass.

Butchers it way too much.

 

[Augustine]

I had a little look at the Port board. The vast majority are in a really angry and pessimistic head space. I was shocked to be honest at just how vitriolic it was especially the negative opinion of Hinkley (put our own sack Scotts/bye bye brad movement to shame).

We have the same amount of wins as Port. Having no expectations this season and everyone writing us off has made our three victories feel super sweet. Meanwhile the losses have been far easier to take than usual. Expectations and hype are a poisoned chalice sometimes. I’m really enjoying proving people wrong this season.

 

[muttley45]

Goldy will be looking forward to confronting the threat that is the Port Ruck set up of Westhof and Howard, look how Rhys Stanley took em to the cleaners ffs.

 

[Boozeroo]

Port 2's play on Wednesday ANZAC day SANFL game. Not ideal when you're trying to cover at least 1 suspension and an injury.

Not when you would like to have a look at a young ruckman to come in and play against goldy.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Our biggest advantage going into next week is that Goldy's been through his divorce.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Disappointing that Wood is not even on the radar. Could have been anything. Currently, nothing.

 

[GreatBradScott]

I said it in the pre-game thread last week, and I'll say it again - another great litmus test of where this team is at. Win, and you never know.

Bar the Dees game, kept every we've played under 75 points. Keep it up.

 

[the big lebowski]

Higgins will obviously miss. Give him a full week off with his kid and maybe then come back via training in 2 weeks.

LDU seems like the obvious in.

EVW might miss and if he does you would think it would be between hibberd or Neilson. I’d like to see Neilson get a gig.

On form you’d say we win but port should come out with a lot of intensity because if they lose this there would be big question marks on their finals credentials.

and this has worked the last 2 game.

They gave us our biggest hiding last year and comfortably beat us at Docklands the last time we played there.

Forget Hawthorn, this mob are a level better. A real tough game ahead.

Currently, injured.

+ They recruited like they're having a crack at a flag.
+ they just dropped a home game, they'll be up for the game.

We have to continue with our pressure game. Pressure pressure pressure and see where the cards fall.

 

[Snake_Baker]

If Higgo doesn't come up then I fear our midfield will be stretched to breaking point.

I'm tipping both EVW and Higgo will play.

 

[fusion]

Nothing to worry about, fair bump in field of play.

I walked around the boundary after the game (but not where the incident happened). There is no grass after the boundary line but some artificial turf which is hard to get a grip on.

If running at full speed, it's very hard to stop after transitioning from one surface to another.

 

[scottywiper]

Hope EVW comes up. Bar a couple of bad minutes he was very good again yesterday.

 

[Chadwiko]

I'm tipping both EVW and Higgo will play.

EVW is a chance but Higgo almost no chance.
