Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 16, 2025 vs Carlton

[glitch01]

Let me get this straight. Carlton are 10th, we are 12th, and Voss is the one coaching for his own survival?

You’re forgetting that Carlton has nowhere near the level of stability we do…..
I’ve heard that successful clubs just don’t sack coaches mid-season….

No way they can't beat us , boak is an incredible human being and only makes our teams group hug sessions much more loving

Ports by 888 points

Well it’s all well and good to say two rucks and boak is playing with two man down but what’s the better alternative?

Lorenz, and putting some games into Whitlock. The season is done - start putting games into younger players.

I like the ins and outs.

Burton out for Evans is good and good for the future.
Allir back for Finny is obvious.
Mead out for Hugh Jackson to see what he can do.

Not a fan of Boak coming back in for Moraes but I'll get over it.
I kinda feel like Boak will play midfield.

Hinkley is such an absolute dud of a coach it's not funny.
David Koch is the worst thing to ever happen to the Port Adelaide Football Club.

Who do you want to be second ruck? I can't accept Lord or Finlazyson.

Just ruck SPP I don't care, it's actively going in a player down to play them both. I'd pick Finlayson acknowledging that he's only getting a game because our KPF depth chart got smashed.

 

[Expat power]

Lorenz is a teenager, Jackson got dropped for one week after a two possession game. Overreaction much?

I like Lorenz but honestly I'm not convinced Jackson has it in him to be anything more than Mead anyway.

Same. Jackson not a big enough body and hasn’t shown anything - I hope he proves me wrong tonight.

 

[Expat power]

Berry the latest victim of our selection lottery. Dropped without playing a game. and his replacement also dropped

He only got sick on Saturday, he was a late out.

Same. Jackson not a big enough body and hasn’t shown anything - I hope he proves me wrong tonight.

Replace Mead with Jackson in this sentence and you’re right (minus the 50 games it took to drop him)

I agree though jury is out hope he plays well

I'd have Sweet as the sub. Swap him with Dante half way through the 3rd....

 

[240volt]

I'd have Sweet as the sub. Swap him with Dante half way through the 3rd....

Dante’s form was shit last week, should be dropped and we go back to one ruck and bring in some pace as a sub.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I'd have Sweet as the sub. Swap him with Dante half way through the 3rd....

What if we get am injury in the first 5 mins?

 

[VineValerian]

I'm glad they're finally showing some recognition for Jeds outstanding form over the past month or so. Would have played him instead of Jackson to be honest

He's torn the other SANFL clubs' mids a new one every week.
Superlative.
Should be a permant 'A' team fixture from now on.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Boaky is not in our top 20 (of our team) and to expect him to be top 21 is not on ... but he can still play a role for the side

Boaky is now around 22 - 28 player rating and in saying that I would rather Boaky being a sub (instead of a Jackson, Berry, Moraes, Cochrane etc.).

I also would rather Boaky on the ground (for on field leadership) instead of DBJ (who was the senior Port player on the ground against the Swans) who has gone missing for a long long time

Relying on DBJ for leadership just shows how far this club has fallen.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

OMG Jackson isn't sub. Biggest surprise. Would have thought he would be sub.

 

[Expat power]

Same. Jackson not a big enough body and hasn’t shown anything - I hope he proves me wrong tonight.

He proved me wrong, keep him in.
