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

Wines and Boak to run rings around the Trashcroft brothers.

Would've played a few weeks back if he kicked 3.1 instead of 1.3

Very good athlete. He and Moraes looked like they could play another game right after.

Two of ports fittest reserves players are a teen who has never done a full pre season and a guy that was on the tools a month ago

Cool

I don't think we are too tall. I expect that Luko will play high and will be used as the outlet target coming out of defence. This role is something which we have lacked all year.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Maybe it's just because he's not Hinkley, but I like the way Carr approaches questions in press conferences. He sounds like someone who believes we can win games. You can sense his readiness and enthusiasm.

Exactly - our fitness this season in particular has been clearly not good enough. Yet there is hardly any focus or attention on the fitness guy.

Looks like we may have finally started to turn the corner, but far too late and cost us a few games earlier in the season.

The only way that happens is if both get a Footy Budget and circle their names in pen.

Was going to share this later - as you say he just sounds so much more positive.
Still respects the opponent but doesn't talk us down.

He's such an amateur.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He's such an amateur.

Imagine if he wins big games. What a noob.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Just wait til he's been a long time in footy. He'll get some learnings for sure.

 

[Willsy10]

We got lucky on a 3rd quarter rampage. Round 1 throws up random results and inconsistencies and we were lucky to capitalise on that. History and the obvious trend against the Lions shows we don't match up on them at all well. 7 of 8, with an average losing margin of 41 says it all, and we're particularly bad at the GABBA.

Really there are 2 teams and places we don't want to play as a Club:

• Collingwood at the MCG
• Brisbane at the GABBA.

Both are nightmare fixtures for us.

You must be remembering a different game. The 3rd quarter we finally got reward for our complete dominance over them, we were all over them in the first half but some horribly one sided umpiring kept them in it.

The 54 point loss probably flattered them, we smashed them that day. There was nothing lucky about it.

Here’s to a good showing today to start the Carr dynasty in earnest.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

For the first time in about 6 years it feels like there are some hints of excitement coming back.

Just win ****ing
