Preview Changes Rd 12 vs Geelong

[RossFC]

Great changes. I wonder if there will be any Sutcliffe sized curveballs 10mins before the game?

 

[Marmozet]

Stop teasing!

He’ll be unleashed for the Hawthorn game and he will play like a man possessed.

EFFECTIVE HANDBALL
A handball to a teammate that hits the intended target.

EFFECTIVE KICK
A kick of more than 40 metres to a 50/50 contest or better for the team or a kick of less than 40 metres that results in the intended target retaining possession.

Bit of a tangent but surely as fans we deserve better stats. What would be super interesting would be effective short kicks vs long kicks plus things like kicks inside 50 and outcome (kick was marked, or a contest resulted and what happened next - stoppage, Port win, oppo win - did it come back out of 50) etc.

 

[TeeKray]

Yep, team looking good. Now the important part - perform.

There is probably a case for managing him through the next few weeks (maybe 1-2 games to build match fitness) and then release him for the supposedly "normal" (Thurs-Sun) set up of the last 2 weeks before finals so he's peaking. Imagine a fresh & fit Burton for finals.

What is this s**t?!?!

 

[Arsene Wenger]

When all fit, Burton and Rozee back for Mayes and Woodcock, and then i would have thought Marshall squeezes out Gerogiades when hes fit.

I reckon Bergman will get a game v the Hawks next week - as may Hayes.

Be good if he could play next week against Hawthorn though!

Id give Burton another week off. He will be very important in finals.

I would like to see that ... he can shove it right up them LOL

So from our best 22 now, we are just missing Burton, Ebert, Rozee and Marshall?

Ryan Burton is this team's Bruce Abernethy. Super smooth mover with a lethal leg who lives for the big stage.

Yep. Burton and Rozee need to be managed like race horses, with the finals series their spring carnival...

Fortunately we have a coach that understands that analogy.

I prefer the good ol' days. Feels odd without the melts, including mine.

 

[Capital Power]

Ken just killed Big Footy. May as well fold now

Based on what we've most recently seen I'd have Farrell out before Woodcock.

This can obviously change after the cats game. I just think Woodcock is the more natural small forward though

I’m guessing if we were fully fit down the line, Mayes, Farrell, Woodcock and Georgiades would be the unlucky 4?

i disagree. Farrell can have minimal touches and influence a game with his beautiful kick. I would definitely persist with him.

 

[Steve Dore]

I was looking forward to a good ol' traditional Thursday melt.

Damn you Hinkley, damn you to hell.

 

[Ports1870]

Burton, Rozee, Marshall and Ebert are massive ins, in the coming weeks. If we stay injury free everything is looking very good.

If you want access to far more detailed stats then you need to pay money to Champion Data.

Tend to agree with you usually. Just thought Woodcock was more effective against Richmond. I think it was noted in the Matchday thread that Farrell didn't look hungry enough on Saturday.

Might still be a bit salty about Farrell costing me $350 on a multi after his miss from 20 out dead in front.

Beauty of opinions mate. Woodcock definitely looks more desperate, but, lacks the polish of KF. If you could combine the 2, you would have a weapon.
