Prediction Changes: Round 11 Vs Port Adelaide + pre-match discussion

[Van_Dyke]

think this has the potential to get semi ugly, Port love a flat track and we might be posing one with an undersized backline against Dixon etc. midfield really need to be on today

Hughes irreplaceable you think?

Easily. Neither Duman nor Watson have the heart or ability to mark over their height.

 

[Power Raid]

I won't be joining the thread today for obvious reasons

Good luck today and I'll be barracking for both of my port sides

11 weeks in and again no Pearce, Logue or Hamling. Are we in some kind of shit twilight zone loop or something?

 

[Schauermann]

Perhaps we should ask the AFL to get an extra 10 list slots for key defenders. And another 10 for key forwards...

Essendon had a fortress down back and formidable forward line. Fremantle have nothing close to it.
I’d give anything to draft or trade for Harrison Jones. Goddamn Essendon got their draft right last season

They had one of our rightful picks thanks to Carltoon's bid on Henry.

 

[arsesmart]

Within our squad yes. He’s hard as a cats head. Great intercept mark & knows the system inside out. I think of the 3 of them as the core of last year’s defense.

He had a great season last year, but wasn't quite at that level this year. Some good potential for someone to step up and cover his output either way though. Not elite but very very good.

It's already ugly. It will be interesting which way it goes from here. Do they:

-show some pride and fight for the rest of the game a regain some self-respect.
or
-roll over

Well ideally we come back and win BUT If those are our 2 options honestly I hope we roll because it will force us to make changes and finally put some heat on the team.

I'm sick of these honourable losses that leave us on the treadmill.

Can't we find anybody in the WAFL/VFL/SANFL better than Duiman?
