Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Showdown 56

[Chewy316]

Would we consider Cluery in and Bergman forward?

I would hope not.

Right now the team is as settled as they've been all year in terms of personnel structure both in the forward and back lines. Moving Clurey down back goes back to the 3 tall defenders model that really didn't work too well at the start of the season. Not to mention Bergman is in arguable career best form right now as the 3rd tall defender.

He did the job on Jeremy Cameron last year. Give him the job on Fogarty, then let BZT and Aliir handle Tex and Thilthorpe.

 

[Macca_1870]

Tex no longer a concern. Has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I for one can’t wait to see the goal celebrations Rachelle has been working on this week!

 

[PAFC66]

Helps. Seems to dominate against us

Saw on 7 news he is having surgery.

40 and a goal? Plying as a small forward part time midfielder? Sure not all touches are created equal, but I stand by what I said, Wingard is criminally under rated by the general footballing public for reasons outside of football and ability.

He's been crap for about 6 years mate. Probably the biggest waste of talent in the modern era.

 

[Scodges]

Fog dogger talking smack when his team sits 15th.... that club has zero self awareness...lol.

He/they usually back it up on game day.

What about during?

Nah, he’s soft and will most probably lose the edge the lack of sex gave him.

Are we playing in the prison bars ? I’d like to see a traditional lace up,I’d buy half a dozen.

That's a shame

Ya hate to 'see' it

Yes

 

[RangaInTeal]

Yes

I hope their supporters booed him off the ground as they did Jay Schultz years ago…

 

[Loyal2Port]

This is a team that has Lachie Murphy in the leadership group. Get serious Port. Their midfield belongs at Cash Converters.

 

[davesnothere]

Sweet has improved since the start of the year but O'Brien tends to give them better service than any of our rucks ever has. Is Soldo or Sweet going to be the best option against him?

Soldo got about 30 minutes ruck work in the sanfl on the weekend. Not close to fit.

I'm sure they are building him up over the next 3 weeks.

Not a chance of playing against the Crows.

He's going to look really weird if the surgeon who put his ear back on also works on his eye

Not going to lie, it will be a boss move if he does the kangaroo

 

[Malibu#27]

I would definitely be going Lord over Burton for the place of Marshall.

As a forward, he's never looked likely and as a defender, he has the boot but not the heart.

I wouldn't be letting that back into the team.

Lord also needs some opportunity because if Dixon goes down or Georgiades has a run with injury, we don't want to rely on Burton.

I can’t see how Lord works alongside Dixon and Esava.

So that's that then.

I guess I'm OK with that in a sort of way.

But how the blazes does Eddie Cornes know that before I do!

 

[MALTSY]

I can’t believe we are suggesting Burton as an in. Not the player we need in a final either.

 

[portly]

Hopefully, the SANFL finishing early they get Lord on a HUGE caloric surplus diet for 4 weeks prior to the break, get him in the gym and hitting the weights fiercely and adding some genuine size before he takes off. Old school movements, squats, deadlifts, bench. Get him THICCCCCK!

And the rest of the sticks.

Scully has to run around in the shower to get wet!

 

[Rash]

i feel like this will be the type of game where we are trailing the crows the whole game by about 15 points, then storm home in the last and win by a couple of goals due to individual's lifting. port by 13 points and butters medal.

his uncle is the forward coach
