Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 13, 2025 vs GWS @ Canberra

[Willsy10]

He's too underdone, looks like he's running in quicksand. Ratugolea hopefully fit and takes that spot.

I thought he did okay, and will only get better with more game time. Unless he’s had a setback and the back has flared up again, I’d keep playing him.

Does BZT being back allow us more flexibility with Bergman to run through the midfield? I dunno BZT is best 23 for me, he was a much better defender than Ratugolea last year so I’d persist with him.

And the Ollie lord experiment has been a disaster this year so maybe if they need to drop a tall, they reshuffle and drop him instead.

In defense of Sweet, he'd be fine if he stopped doing stupid shit in the ruck to concede frees and actually directed his hitouts to our players.

Can we forfeit?

Does a single Port Adelaide person have any appetite to watch this game?

It's in the best time slot for me.

It was programmed especially for our South American supporters

Now that the season is officially toast i can hopefully watch the game from a different perspective, more like a pre season game, hopefully we see some improvement in our game plan and some young guys take their games to another level. Whilst i still want to see them win, i hope i can watch the games without getting pissed off, which i've pretty much been all season besides the first half against Hawthorn.

Not sure i can handle continually getting thumped by 60-90 points though.

I keep waiting for Georgiades to kick a bag, he has threatened to do this all season but it just hasn't happened, seeing everything finally click for him will be nice. He seems so close.

History would tell us that the boys having a break and there being a huge amount of pressure on Hinkley and the team that they will fight back hard and put in a huge amount of effort and caring that has been bereft all year. The boys could easily reel off a few wins against average sides or good team that are a bit down.

We will see if the team is still Hinkleycentric and play on that emotion of us and the world and the White Noise or if they have seriously checked out and thinking of next year.

I'm not that bothered by the ins but would like the younger guys to get meaningful time.

In previous seasons putting a big effort in would save Hinkley's job.

This season he's gone anyway, so who cares? The players sure don't. They want this to be over as much as everyone bar seemingly Richardson/Cardone/Davies, who are only hanging on because they perceive the PR is better if they don't sack him, a position which was obviously wrong 7 years ago and has been wrong ever since.

Just an insane situation to be in. Every single stakeholder is just twiddling their thumbs waiting for this dumb season to be over.

Remember how lackluster Port were right after the bye? And it was against the same team. Have no faith that they will come out with full intent to win.

Aha, so that explains why it's on at night in the middle of winter somewhere it regularly sits below freezing

I just can’t see how they think they can turn the form around.

Should be a comfortable win to gws.. over 40 I reckon with hogan and Greene to share 10 goals

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Mead is gonna play isn’t he?

 

[Rash]

Berry in defense, another wimpy timid flanker. i hate it.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Jackson might hold his spot

 

[all seeing eye]

Maybe Rat forward and Lord out.

 

[drcollossimo]

no no no no


Nooooooooooooooooooo please god no

 

[RossFC]

Wait Atkins is getting dropped? He was our best player last game.

 

[TazD]

no no no no


Nooooooooooooooooooo please god no

Esava forward is terrible, but that's a performance mindset. The rest of this season should be reframed into a comedy mindset so that we can make this year the worst on David Koch's record.

 

[Rash]

exactly no selection integrity.

 

[Rash]

Esava has ben so good in the backline, sending him forward makes my blood boil.

Supporting this club sucks right now

If we go unders in the next lot of games, there will be so much pressure that Koch will be $h!tting diamonds!

 

[Bump Bailey]

And Logan Evans one of the few to show genuine physical intent by caving that bloke’s shoulder in, as well getting 20+ touches. I know someone has to come out for Farrell but Jesus

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Hopefully Ward is on the bench available to fire up the Giants at every step.

 

[all seeing eye]

no no no no


Nooooooooooooooooooo please god no

You know its going to happen.
