Strategy Changes: Round 22 Port Adelaide vs. Fremantle

[s_wd6]

Question: how does Pearce come straight in on a long out. Oscar must be shotty

Delaying him a couple weeks when he's pulled up fine to get more kms in his legs. Pulled up fine last week but they opted to give him the extra rest.

 

[malpaso]

Is OMac definitely out?
Port have Georgiades, Lord and Whitlock.
Decent height up forward.

and Lukosious..

Emergencies: Brandon Walker, Jeremy Sharp, Oscar McDonald

Bit stiff on Will Brodie, emergency one week, close if not best on ground for peel and then can't even be in the emergencies the next, when we are crying out for a big inside mid. Oh well.

I think being emergency might mean he wouldn’t play for Peel and miss out altogether.

 

[stax on the mull]

Wagner is named in the Peel team for Saturday, so he must be wanting some WAFL minutes before getting back to AFL.

He should be in the 22

Better player than a few listed

Its a joke

 

[FreoRicci]

Whitlock did go out.
Lord Lukosius and Georgiades.
Should be okay for match ups.

Chapman on Lukosius
Cox v Georgiades
Pearce v Lord

Wagner pulled up sore after last training session.

 

[Superkoops]

Now there is a soft player. Worner or Chapman can sort him out.

 

[ignoramus]

Don’t like being the bearer of bad news, but have heard from a very credible source that the boys are sick. Don’t know how many, but I’m assuming a bunch. Here’s hoping that, for at least some of them, it started for the Carlton game and they’re better now.

Just speculating but that might be part of the reason why Fyfe and Pearce flew over yesterday. Might also have been a contributing factor to Wagner not being selected.

Usually you get these rumours after a game when we’ve put up a really bad performance…

Yeh. Worner was sick and I think was partly isolated from the rest in training. Wouldn't be surprised it gets passed around

No doubt but watch him clunk and kick 3 50m bomb goals..

Whitlock did go out.
Lord Lukosius and Georgiades.

Chapman on Lukosius
Cox v Georgiades
Pearce v Lord

Georgiades will tear Cox a new one. I'd put Chapman on him. Cox and Pearce work on and off Luko and Lord.

 

[Quiexo]

Georgiades will tear Cox a new one

What's with the negativity on Cox? He's legitimately been solid as hell in the back half of the season, especially in those games when we were under siege...I'll back him to contain Georgiades, especially if the pressure up the field is good..

It's the matchup not Cox and his form. Georgiades is their #1 target by a mile, he's faster than Cox and jumps higher than Cox.
Goes without saying if the pressure is good upfield than defenders do their job better..

 

[Footskill]

I think our success lately has been built around team defense and our backs working together. We best try to avoid any 1 v1 where possible.

They said earlier in the week that Worner trained away from the group due to illness so I’d say some were impacted last week.

Did we ever get to the bottom of the famous horror show against St Kilda in 2014 @ Docklands game.

Were we sick or was an Ambush

 

[Nodgey]

Was hoping for news of mass flu after the Saints debacle earlier this season. Alas nothing AFAIR.

100% the boys are locked in down there

Fair enough, but I still feel like Cox doesn't get enough credit for his one-one-one defence, even if he is a bit suspect with someone quick on the lead...I dare say that he'll start on Georgiades and get help from Pearce, much like how they defended Sam Darcy earlier in the year...

Well that didn't work out so well.

 

[fleur]

Doesn’t matter if Darcy kicks another five as long as they only kick five goals for the game
