Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 14 vs Melbourne

[EskimoPAFC]

Dixon was All-Australian in 2020 and arguably the best KPF for the two years of 2020-21.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Dixon was elite, his biggest problem was a second rate coach who’s entire game plan revolved around bomb it long to Dixon whilst he gets double teamed.

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. This current forward line is by some distance the worst we have had in the AFL era. In fact it is the worst I can remember in my 45 odd years following the team.

We have guys that chip in with a couple of goals upfield most games.
MG is basically a 3 goal a game player at best because he normally misses a couple of easy ones.
To be honest our goal kicking is parkland stuff at times.
That has to change next year somehow.

Mead you fcker

Finlayson at his absolute worst is still better than Sweet/Visentini/Soldo as a second ruck

No, Finlayson should never represent the club again.

Moraes stiff

Mead should be out, Mead would have likely sprayed or not made the distance for the goal Moraes kicked. I haven't seen a bloke carried as much as Mead since.... McEntee.

Lol Mead

 

[TeeKray]

Boak managed two weeks after a bye and not playing SANFL. It's been very odd the way his season has played out.

Moraes kicks a goal, the kid would have built a bit of confidence from it, but instead of backing him in, the dud coach punts him to the ressies and keeps Mead...righto.

 

[dewah07]

Is it safe to assume sweet more fwd /ruck and then Visentini 1st ruck?

Ken really needs to hurry up and piss off so Christian doesn’t get Hinkley’d.

 

[Gryllis]

I'd just assumed Mead would be out for JHF and Fin for Sweet, so was wondering who they'd pick for Liddy.

Lunacy.

 

[davesnothere]

Dante is more likely to hold a mark forward

Dixon was never elite. One AA season in 9 years at Port is not elite. He only led our goalkicking 3 times in the 9 years we had him.

He was by far the best we had over that period, but he was nowhere near as good as you make it out.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Is it safe to assume sweet more fwd /ruck and then Visentini 1st ruck?

**** knows. Both are horrendous forwards.

I’d say Vis will be 1st ruck. Sweet will just run around aimlessly for a half before being subbed out.

 

[The Hobo]

The best forward line we had in the Hinkley era, was Schulz, Westhoff, Monfries, Wingard, Gray and White 2014.

Yup, would agree with that. Sadly at that point in time, the midfield and defence weren't all that flash. Still did well with what we had there though.

 

[davesnothere]

Boak managed two weeks after a bye and not playing SANFL. It's been very odd the way his season has played out.

I’d go with his back is cactus.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Didn't Boak sit out as much of the last quarter v GWS as Finlayson who was subbed out?

Not keen on the rucks as forwards, even if it is going to be wet and they are to bring the ball to ground. I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Esava play forward, Melbourne's tall forward options are limited.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Is mead actually in? Lol

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Dixon has elite potential and one or two very good seasons, thats all.

 

[The Hobo]

Some overating of Melbourne happening around the place they are 5 wins like us and like us they are just average and often struggle to run out games. I see us getting over the line by a goal or 2

You would think that if you hadn't watched them.

They've been quite competitive in a number of their losses - they're not as off the pace as we've looked in our losses.

I'm not saying they're formidable, but what we've brought to games this season won't see us win.

IF last week was the start of something -then we have a chance. Otherwise, we're cooked.
