Don't forget Thilthorpe McAndrew and Butts Borlase - two of the best going around.

Crows board said that Borlase is a specific in for Georgiades, lol.

Apparently was on 9 news

What’s he going to do, drive him to the game.

Dont know what their options are, but didn't know he was the type for the quick, lead up forwards.

Their midfield with no Dawson looks really weak, our midfield needs to play a blinder. Can win the game there if we get rolling. Will be interesting to see how we contain all their talls though.

The info about our defending is going to get put to the test with their ball movement.

Anyone need a laugh? Head over to the Adelaide board and see the melts over their selection committee

I had a peek and it was like this board under Hinkley. They were very activated.

These days selection night here is like

Crows ball movement very stagnent, we are the best team in the comp at defending ball movement
Crows terrible midfield, so they wont win many clearances, therefore its hard to see how they can kick a score.
We are the 3rd best team in comp at scoring off of oppo turnover

If we execute we win, we have an actual system unlike under Hinkley

It all depends with their midfield. Only Berry is their better clearance player. They've got Soligo back too which bizarrely plays good against Port and will play in the guts. But that's it really.

They may play Curtin as a wing but spare down back. Unsure how they'll play him but he's only had 1 SANFL match i believe, for fitness.

Will be interesting. If Port come out absolutely strong from the first ball up and not what's happened previous weeks, then should be good.

The stats are good for Port, yeah, but it's still early and the boys are still learning and developing this system and playing style, so will still be ups and downs and pressure depending on the team they come up against.

It's the crows forward line that will be the challenge. Probably only forward line they've come up against so far this season that is really damaging. Hawks are close 2nd but they didn't have Gunstun.

Geelong relies on Jezza and their mids and half backs.

I’d swap BZT for Borlase. I think he is slightly better depth, and tbh its never sat with me well that he is not in the prison bars.

Are we wearing them tomorrow btw? I feel we need them after the AFLs draft tampering this week.

No we only wear prison bars in home showdowns

So then it’s Crows by 34 points?

Crows home game so no.

And perhaps with Borlase as a rookie if he himself decides to come across. Probably not though. It would no doubt be primarily depth though I'd imagine.

Inshallah

It’s “oxalá” in Portuguese; and “ojalá” in Spanish. The Arabs left a significant imprint in both languages.

What shambles that Hinkley got to coach in 25 Showdowns let alone with a losing record despite them being bottom 4 for most his tenure
