Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 8, 2025 vs Western Bulldogs @ Ballarat

[Scholz Supremacy]

Sinn will be out with concussion, and I think Moraes badly needs a rest.

Sinn will be out with concussion, and I think Moraes badly needs a rest.

Add Berry to that list.
Time to bring in Watkins and Lorenz

 

[Schulzenfest]

Sinn and Moraes out, Lai and Lorenz in. This is a pretty easy week I think.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Add Berry to that list.
Time to bring in Watkins and Lorenz

Berry had his rest already, I think they'll back him in again for next week.

 

[RossFC]

I'm a big Sweet supporter but he really needs to find a way to do better around the ground and not give away half a dozen free kicks every game.

Reckon Boak will get picked over Lorenz. Lai absolutely has to be at least the sub.

 

[MALTSY]

Out: Sinn, Moraes
In: Lorenz, Lai?

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

IN: Lorenz, Lai, Jackson, I don't who else. None really screams selection, Kicking goals from directly in front.

OUT: Finlayson, Moraes, Mead, Sinn, Stupid free kicks, stupid 50's, Kicking high up from 10m out, Snapping and missing everything from 15m out.

On Watch: Sweet. Piss poor for the past few weeks. Giving away frees and not negating Xerri's influence.

 

[PowerLil]

Add Berry to that list.
Time to bring in Watkins and Lorenz

Watkins is an sanfl listed player.

 

[240volt]

Watkins is an sanfl listed player.

Bugger, yep forgot that one.
Pitty because he looks to have more go in him than half the mob that took the field today.

 

[X_box_X]

Out: Sinn, JHF, Hinkley
In: Lorenz, Burton, Carr

 

[Doctor Feel]

We keep shuffling the yellow and green bins. Binlayson and Binn.

 

[strath39]

Out: Mead – Started well with some pressure acts, but struggles to impact over four quarters. Doesn’t make the most of his opportunities inside.
In: Jackson – Time to give him a shot and see what he can offer.


Out: Moraes – Looks tired and is missing tackles. Let him rack up some possessions in the SANFL and build form.
In: Lai – Has genuine pace and deserves a chance.


Out: Berry – Just not finding enough of the ball at the moment. Better to go back to the SANFL to rebuild confidence.
In: Lorenz.


Out: Sinn –
In: Atkins or Burton.


Wouldn’t be surprised to see Boak return too. Won’t be many changes, but three players really brought nothing this week.

 

[Interstater]

Out: Whoever is doing the construction works at Mars Stadium.
5-6k capacity, seriously?

In: Visentini - I don't care where he plays, just play him.

 

[Imhotep]

Anyone leaving Visentini out is accepting a piss weak performance from one of our most important positions. Sweet needs to learn how to contest the ball on the ground and the air. Worst performance from a ruck since Teakle!

 

[PJ Power]

Sinn and Moraes out, Lai and Lorenz in. This is a pretty easy week I think.

Perfect.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Berry has to go get form in the sanfl. Hasn’t shown a moment of anything in his game time this year and needs to build some confidence to attack the ball.

Finlayson looked horrible once he came on as well. Didn’t look remotely invested in the game.

Out: Berry, Fin and Sinn
In: Lai, Boak and Visentini

Moraes sub for a rest.

 

[True__Believer]

Berry is not ready, has not been ready and I am not sure why he keeps getting played. However with Sinn going out and Moraes dropping off he stays for now.

 

[all seeing eye]

Xerri really did a job on Sweet, Visentini must be close to a gig. Sinn , Moraes, Finalyson out Lorenz Jackson Lai in.

 

[Watto71]

Does BZT come in

 

[SparklingAle69]

Tough one. They're up and about. Ballarat. What a S Hole.

 

[SparklingAle69]

Really tough one. Depends on if Jeckal or Hyde turns up. I expect to get thrashed buy not surprised if we win. My head hurts.

 

[Coobk001]

Dogs are absolutely flying at the moment given their injuries and everything. Just playing so well as a team. Probably as good as they have at any point in Beveridge's time.

We're limping along, beating sides with 20 mins of footy a week. Our contested ball/ground ball work is just a mess. The clearance stuff going on is a real worry. We sit 14th in clearance differential, the Dogs are 3rd, we're only above the Tigers, Eagles, Saints and Demons. If we cant compete in there, the game will be over in no time.

Not sure we can win this but it is critical for our season. Win this and the season is back on, lose and we're in a fair bit of trouble given our upcoming draw.

 

[davesnothere]

Dante. Jackson did make the emergency list. Might be close

Sweet and Sinn out

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Dante. Jackson did make the emergency list. Might be close

Sweet and Sinn out

I would give Sweet one more week before I omit him for Dante.

 

[PortVic]

Watch Ken bring Burton in for Sinn.
