Preview Changes & Preview - Round 7, 2025 vs North Melbourne @ Adelaide Oval

[Addy23]

From memory i think Wines misses the following game from when he has the heart rhythm episodes and therefore

Out: Ratkins Wines Moraes (should be rested or sub)
In: Richards Berry

Rozee probably goes back to mid to cover Wines

This would be the worst case scenario, if we put Rozee back into midfield. Might get away with it against Norf but it just wouldn't make sense. I really don't understand why Boak won't go into centre bounce. Because he's also not a winger or a half forward

 

[Steve Dore]

I can't believe people are calling for Atkins to be dropped. We need to persist with this kid.

 

[Lefti93]

if anyone is wondering, the last time we played North here was round 6 2019.

 

[The Hobo]

SPP was on Blakey. The commentators even noted it.

Pretty sure he was on Sinclair as well, not NWM

 

[The Hobo]

I can't believe people are calling for Atkins to be dropped. We need to persist with this kid.

Yup plays like a 150 gamer

 

[The Hobo]

It's hard to tell because when he burns off, the camera is pointed towards the Sydney goal and you don't get to see who he burns off.

It's not as simple as that - he could have left his man to go chase, doesn't mean it was his man

 

[bringbackbucky]

DBJ needs to find some form in the Magpies. Should never have come straight back in.
Atkins shouldn't even be on the list.
Moraes needs a rest.
Boak needs to retire. Getting him to 400 is entering getting Kornes to 300 territory...

 

[Rising Power]

Out: Pope Francis
In: Lloyd Pope

 

[Willsy10]

Wines didn't miss a game after he was subbed off last year, subbed off against the Hawks round 10 and played the following week in Tassie against North and had 26 touches and 2 goals.

 

[True__Believer]

What are people seeing with Lai that I have missed? Averaging less than 15 possessions and where would he fit into the side exactly?

 

[JimmyBC]

Out: Boak, Atkins

In: Berry, Jackson

Attributes that flow into AFL, bigger body, strong mark and fast.

 

[theouthouse]

I'd keep the younger lads in, Moraes and Cochrane but maybe give them a few days off training during the week to freshen up and recover a bit of strength.

 

[Cosmicwinduptoy24]

If he plays Cochrane to kick 5 and net himself a rising star nod.

 

[Willsy10]

Is bringing Berry straight back after one game in the SANFL the right move? I wouldn't mind seeing him back it up with another good performance, make sure he gets his confidence back before we play him again?

 

[davesnothere]

If he plays Cochrane to kick 5 and net himself a rising star nod.

Tommy should stay because he’s playing the toughest position on the ground to stay in the game in and he’s not learning what he needs to know in the SANFL.

All of Tom’s possessions looked quality even if they didn’t come off. He makes good decisions.

His shot for goal on the boundary I didn’t doubt was going through.

He’s a quality long term player with athletic ability no likely replacement has.

Just leave him a few games.

 

[Rash]

Berry i would put in this week, i the hope he converts a set shot which he hasnt been able to do as of yet. Bassicaly just play him with the hope of having his breakout game, increase his confidence.

Something like 15 touches, 2 goals, 5+ score involvements and good kicking efficency

 

[StueyDaDew]

Do we make a suprise section & bring in Whitlock to duke it out with his Bra?

 

[Alberton Proud]

This game is the perfect opportunity to gain a lot of percentage. Port cannot rest on its laurels and expect for a win to be handed on a silver platter. I expect a 4 quarter performance and win every metric stats.

Prepare to be disappointed

 

[Peninsula Boy]

It's not as simple as that - he could have left his man to go chase, doesn't mean it was his man

I know. With the footage from the game, I couldn't tell.

I could've looked closer at matchups when the ball is loose down back but it's not worth it.

If we tagged Blakey and he didn't have those runs in the first half, the Swans would've been lucky to get 10 points or so for the half. Heeney kicked a roving goal from the boundary which was quietly spectacular and a Haywood mark and goal that I have a feeling Bergman would normally have contested or marked himself if he was a bit iffy with an injury.

So first half awesome.

 

[Bump Bailey]

This game is the perfect opportunity to gain a lot of percentage. Port cannot rest on its laurels and expect for a win to be handed on a silver platter. I expect a 4 quarter performance and win every metric stats.

 

[afl2004]

Give wines a week off , no point risking death over north

 

[Gryllis]

Is bringing Berry straight back after one game in the SANFL the right move?

Normally I'd say no - get him to string a few performances together before promoting him.

But given Ratkins is in the team, these are dire times we're living in.

Bring him back in.

 

[Rigs]

Wines trained today. Assuming he will be fine to play

If he trained he’s 100% fit to go.
