Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 19, 2025 vs Hawthorn @ UTAS Stadium 19/7/25

[davesnothere]

Launceston max 10 degrees and plenty of rain Saturday afternoon.

Maybe stops a blow out.

I want Hinkley gone and the thought of some humiliating losses is appealing, but nothing would please me more than beating the Hawks with a depleted team.

This game offers our future coach and fringe players to make a name for themselves.

I don’t care who comes in or who goes out. Just smash these arrogant bozos.

 

[Waspy79]

Serious question. When was the last time Port got to feast on the carcass of an injury-riddled nemesis?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

This isn't happening.

Burton's just had a knee arthroscopy so won't be playing this week.

It'll be;
McEntee for Willy.
Atkins for Rozee.
Mead for Hornet.

Am I being a dick here?

Burton is out of contract and likely delisted

Is there a point putting him through the knee surgery and effectively paying for it?

Absolutely none at all outside of the legal ramifications but lawyers are pricks so we may as well.

Yes - you being a dick. You look after your own.

I absolutely want to see them go at Hinkley with the plane bullshit lol

10 in the backline and rugby maul it up the middle.

this is shaping up to be the best game of the year

I want to see Hinks do a cheeky wing span in the coaches box when the camera is on him. Or put on a wizards hat. Or both.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Willie to show Ginnivan the ball after kicking seven while eating a Magpie Goose drumstick !

 

[Lambot]

I need help pls bigfootball.

I can't find anywhere on the Ports website that gives info on if/when any training session will be happening at UTAS (Friday I assume?)
I also can't even find a bloomin email address to send a question about it.

Anyone know things about such stuff?

Richmond fielded what was a reserves side against us at AO a few years ago and true to form we rolled over

Youse know it's a tough competition and someone has to lose even when the opposition has been more than decimated by injuries.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Rioli's an out so I would expect Berry or Mackinlay to get a look in.

 

[Rash]

Hinkley said in his presser

'Jackson mead has been exceptional in the sanfl' gtfo

Watch him to come in for rioli

What makes you think he'll be delisted?

I don't know how it's surprising Jackson Mead comes in this weekend. The cupboard is bare. Our SANFL team is shit and half our AFL team are injured.

Everyone called for Lorenz too and in 21% game time he got one disposal. I'm not sure how he is such a better option than Mead but at this point they will both be playing.

Mead's form in the two's is as good as anyone else. Would you rather they brought in McEntee?

 

[Anyonebutken]

Don't mind seeing mead back the season is gone we are down on numbers, it's probably his last chance to save his afl career. You never know he may grab this opportunity that he would not have got if not for the out's and turn things around for himself.

We know what Mead brings over 4 quarters. Lets give Lorenz 4 before we drop him again. I believe Lorenz has had better form in the SANFL than Mead also.

 

[Rash]

mead isnt capabale, he doesnt have any afl traits, he isnt going to 'save his career' these last 6 games
