Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 17, 2025 vs Brisbane

[davo999]

I’d love to see Josh Lai get a game if Logan Evans is injured other than that probably Wines for Liddy and Lukosious for Powee Pepper if he looks right to go. Haven’t given up on SPP but he’s out of form and could do with a couple of weeks in the SANFL

 

[Buget]

Not last night, as Carlton provide zero pressure, but against Sydney, I actually can see Wines value.

Hopefully he gets up. His experience would be valuable against Brisbane

 

[El_Scorcho]

Great result to see Visentini cleared entirely. Wasn't even really a bump, Saad just sort of ran into him and Vis braced briefly before the contact came.

I don't listen to commentary when watching, but seeing them replay the incident from several angles half a dozen times made it clear what their view of it was. Good to see them being ignored for once.

 

[RossFC]

IN: Lukosius, Wines
OUT: Visentini, Evans

Liddy sub

 

[Rash]

watch mead make a miraculous return

 

[Power Plus]

Sweet out
Luko in

But it will all depend on how Luko goes for maggies

Luko played good, but I think another game in the SANFL and he'll be ready to play the Eagles at Adelaide Oval the following week.

 

[davesnothere]

Luko wil come in against Brisbane on that sanfl performance.

He ran the game out got enough of it.

I don’t know if it’s going to be Sweet or Dante out though?

 

[stewie griffen]

Luko for one of the rucks is the obvious one

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Ive been reliably informed that we never give up, so this one should go right to the wire.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I'd be looking at Sweet, Liddy and possibly Boak out.
Lukosius, Wines and one of the young guys of Berry, Moraes, Lorenz or Lai, whoever has better form in the SANFL, probably Lorenz.

 

[danman69]

Sweet and Liddy out, Luko and wines in

 

[Rash]

they will keep sweet,drop vis. i have a feeling

 

[davesnothere]

they will keep sweet,drop vis. i have a feeling

Nah Dante has a little more presence around the ground and is building. That said Sweet was ok. Luko’s Conditioning could come into it and does anybody know where Luco actually plays?

 

[Jonts]

This would have to be the least I've ever wanted to watch a Port match.

You guys are watching!?

[PortAdelFC1997]

Visentini stays. Had more impact I feel and would have played a great game if he kicked straight close to goal.

Sweet goes out for Lukoisus. Only question is who pinch hits? I’m not using Ratugolea. He is finally settling down and is thriving as a defender.

Liddy would probably make way for Wines. A bit stiff but Wines simply has the runs on the board.

Boak played a decent game, so he gets to stay as frustrating as that is.

Evans gets omitted and one of Berry, Lai etc. plays as sub.

 

[backtozero]

Brisbane have been in poor form.

A win here will give them the confidence they need to begin their run into finals.

The Port Adelaide Fluffers.

 

[Willsy10]

Vis played one of his better games. Probably should’ve kicked 3 or 4. Would be a harsh dropping.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I don't listen to commentary when watching, but seeing them replay the incident from several angles half a dozen times made it clear what their view of it was. Good to see them being ignored for once.

To be fair to BT of all people, he was quite clear he thought there was nothing in it and Saad just ran into Visentini.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

There's no need to drop Visentini for Lukosius. Luko runs around like a mid, so his role would be to drag a tall defender away from Georgie and drop into other spaces for a shot on goal.

 

[danman69]

Visentini should play the year out. He's just played one of his best games even though his kicking was inaccurate. Dropping him to play SANFL does him no good. May as well pump games into him and get him more experience at the top level. It's not like we lose anything by playing him. Sweet and Soldo aren't exactly making it a hard decision right now

 

[davesnothere]

**** I'm totally against playing two Rucks and a was Carlton but the mix with Mitch and Dante forward looked good. Luko will run around like an unregistered dog..

I'd be really tempted to start the same as we did against Carlton Sweet starts Ruck Dante and Luko create space for Mitch.

 

[PJ Power]

Agree with keeping Vis in as a forward primarily with Sweet first ruck.

I’d have Lukosius play another SANFL game and bring Wines if fit for Evans, starting Liddy as the sub.

 

[Steve Dore]

To be fair to BT of all people, he was quite clear he thought there was nothing in it and Saad just ran into Visentini.

Yeah, I watched the clip of the incident and BT was actually defending Visentini while the other commentator was trying to crusify him, "he chose to bump!".
