Preview Changes & Preview Thread versus the clowns

[TeeKray]

Fantasia could be a legitimate sub option soon. Comes on, zips around, kicks a couple. Potentially if he can stay fit it could be a good option.

You're talking about Orazio Fantasia right? Or is there some other Fantasia I'm not aware of?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Im by not stretch a fan of picking someone on the simply on the basis of them applying "pressure' but id say it makes us quite a bit slower across half forward and allows the opposition easy transition out of their back half.

DJB takes McEntee's spot and Fantasia takes Evans. If you want to play a second ruck, (say Visiniti) it's at the expense of one of Marshall, Finlayson or Dixon.

Fair enough, I was thinking one of the bench players could come out to fill the role, but thinking about who usually leaves the field at the start they are specific role players.

I think Dixon will continue to be used as a second/third ruck with Fin as long as his knee holds up.

And yes we need to bring in another goal scoring small forward. Fantasia is quick enough to apply pressure.

You don't get to unironically call yourself a 'Jed head' and then shit on Fantasia's ability.

 

[Powerade 08]

You'd think Hayes played well reading BigFootball. Only job is to win hitouts, got less than 20 while Witts had 40+. Casboult kicks 4 goals, atleast the first one on Hayes. Ironic cheers from the crowd when Hayes takes his first mark. lol.

Play him over Teakle but the difference is minimal.

If he gets through and plays alright today he should be in the frame, if he comes in and his legs fall off so be it.. we need to find out before finals.

 

[MALTSY]

Exactly this.

I reckon its either Jakson or Fantasia. If Rioli is out...it could be both.

 

[MALTSY]

At this stage if no one is injured I’d drop McEntee for Fantasia if he has a good game tomorrow He May get a reprieve if Rioli out .
We need class is Jackson classy ?
Duursma needs to be getting 20 possessions and a goal to stay in , he got the goal but seemed fairly quiet apart from a patch after he kicked that goal .

Classy probs not best description. I'd suggest hard working, skilful mid who can play inside and outside. His kicking to forward targets is a strength.
I reckon he is an obvious future replacement for Boaky.

 

[davesnothere]

Teakle is the worst player to ever pull on a Power guernsey, and your football knowledge is on par with his football ability.

As far as I'm concerned the KPIs in order of importance are

1. 100 minutes on the ground
2.100 contests
3. Hold Obrien to his ave of 30% hit outs to advantage.
4. Win more than 30% hit outs to advantage.

I will back Hayes in the KPI I'm least concerned about.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Errghh - we are loosing this one too aren’t we.

 

[MALTSY]

Thought Duursma was good last night...a bit unpolished but getting back in the groove.

Whist Jed and Frank did some good things, there is nothing that another player couldn’t do.
No extra gear, X factor, pace or skill that justifies their selection over Jackson. I'd also throw Willams forward to replace Frank. Better mark, kick and footy IQ. We have cover at half back and better than being sub!

F. Butters Dixon Finlayson
HF. Williams Marshall SPP
C. Duursma Wines Jackson
HB. Bergman Aliir Houston
FB. Jones McKenzie Farrell
R: Hayes, JHF, Rozzee

Int. Boak, DBJ, Drew, Burton

Sub. Bonner

Out: Rioli (susp), McIntee, Evans, Lycett

In: Hayes, Jackson, DBJ, Bonner

 

[TeeKray]

You don't get to unironically call yourself a 'Jed head' and then s**t on Fantasia's ability.

Being a Jed Head is better than being an Orazio Bro or whatever the equivalent is because Jed Heads actually get to see their man play games of football sometimes.

 

[JUSTWORK]

The concern over Fantasias body holding up is more fair, however when fit he is by a reasonable margin our best small forward and makes us a much better side.

 

[davesnothere]

I'm actually being nice giving Hayes the 4th most important KPI

 

[MALTSY]

Agree. I just would give him an extended sanfl run and give a few untried players a crack.
If we risk bringing him back and he gets injured, we need better replacements than we currently have!

 

[TeeKray]

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, UNLEASH THE BIN CHICKEN

He's had that, 5 games in 6 weeks i think ? Time to bring him back in, and if need be we can rest him him in a couple of weeks.
Personally, id of risked him last night. Maybe he breaks down, but his class could have been the difference.

Their aren't better options than we have now, (other than DBJ who missed with concussion) there isn't really anyone else in the SANFL to come in as a specialist small forward.

 

[TazD]

SHOW THE CAREER STATS

 

[JimmyBC]

davesnothere is Brynn Teakle

 

[Wargreymon90]

We won’t lose to the crows so long as we tag Dawson

 

[davesnothere]

davesnothere is Brynn Teakle

No I'm my mum

 

[Rising Power]

So frustrating to look at the Magpies lineup and not see anyone who you know could make an impact in the A grade beyond serviceable.

lmao.

As has been demonstrated to you, Hayes gets to a higher percentage of ruck contests than Teakle or Lycett.

Hayes played one game this season against arguably the best ruckman in the league and held his own. Teakle and Hayes have let some very average rucks have career days against them this season.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Hayes is a squib. Simple as that.

Teakle I know what I have and I can work with it.

Teakle will stay on the ground and compete.

JHF looked as good roving to Collingwoods ruck as he did to Ports ruck in the final quarter it doesn't matter to him. Hayes is literally an oxygen thief at afl level I don't trust him to stay out there when he's needed.

I've just checked the dictionary and "compete" doesn't mean "let your opponent have the best match of their career".

Did we want to pen a letter to Merriam-Webster to get this cleared up?

Teakle loses his feet, and fumbles the ball. Hayes doesn't.

Hayes can at least attend to a contest and ruck on time, which is something Teakle struggles at.

 

[Ports1870]

No excuses whatsoever to lose this one.
These campaigners haven’t beaten a team ranked 16 or higher since May 28.
A few things that need to happen…

-If Rioli is suspended, Fantasia must come in as these two are our only small forwards that have any type of x-factor and goal sense
-Drew sticks to Dawson like glue just as he did with Daicos and take him out of the game. They’re midfield won’t have a chance of beating us if Dawson isn’t getting involved
