Strategy Changes: Round 22 Port Adelaide vs. Fremantle

[Outshined]

Yeah we're adding in valuable experience at the right time.

Interesting to see how they use Erasmus. Still think he has a valuable role to play blocking and adding size for Serong and Brayshaw, assuming Fyfe is sub.

So it's easy then
Pearce for Omac
Fyfe for Young

Fyfe sub & Ras full game.

 

[FreoRicci]

Wagner still being sore is unfair.
He’s been very solid this season and a real reason for some wins along the way.

One of those unfortunate footy things.

Hopefully he gets his body right. Bloke 100% deserves to play in a final or 2.

 

[FreoRicci]

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

Bit stiff on OMac. Has his limitations but rarely makes a mistake

O'Mac knew the moment Pearce was fit he'd be out. Tough, but he's now the next man in for the forward line.

 

[Ghost Pig]

Feels like we are lacking pace. Might be an armwrestle.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Anyone else worried that Baeshaw will go for his shin on Saad? Looked a bit nasty? AFL loves to shitcan us at the most inopportune moments.

One can dream
Crabshaw was an absolute liability in the first half.
Should've been on negative SC points at 1/2 time, not 42!
Congrats Andy, you have destroyed all fantasy footy for me.
Oh well.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Feels like we are lacking pace. Might be an armwrestle.

Only missing Wagner in that department I reckon. Not sure who'd come out for him... Banners most likely.

 

[Footskill]

Hmmmm port seem decent with those ins. Out of all the recent games we were concerned about, this might be the one

 

[dominguez]

Never beaten Port at Adelaide oval.

Or won in Adelaide against them since 2012 - Matt Primus was coaching then.

So Hinkley has never lost to Freo at Home -

Looks like we need to tick this one off before he finishes up.

We were leading with about 2 minutes left last year and Horne-Francis out marked Walker one on one in the goal square and kicked the winning goal. Since then we've improved and they've gone backwards so we should win.

flew to Adelaide by himself today

 

[s_wd6]

Alex Pearce flew to Adelaide by himself today

Wonder why

 

[Taylor]

Wonder why

Didn't ask him. Just noticed him on the plane. I remember Jordan saying that the older guys liked the idea of going earlier and the younger guys prefer to leave closer to the game

 

[FreoRicci]

Port with their Ins. Concerning

 

[fnerd]

IN for Port
Connor Rozee, Jack Lukosius, Willie Rioli, Christian Moraes
Out
Jase Burgoyne, Jack Whitlock, Hugh Jackson, Dylan Williams

That’s some good ins

Make no mistake they ll be up and about for this
After dialling it in last 2

Carr would love nothing more to **** our season over

 

[E Shed]

We've beaten GWS, GC, Pies, Adelaide, Hawthorn AND our bogie side Carlton.
This should be regulation but I (and I know others) won't be relaxed until the final siren.
God I wish Young & Wags were playing.

Bring it on I say. Finals will be harder than this game. Might as well take on the challenge. We should be the ones that are up and about for this game. We're hunting an elusive premiership and its right there.

Port are similar to Carlton this season. They only play half a game so if were close at half time we will roll over them.

Agree with everything but I unfortunately just got waaaaay to much dockery ptsd!
Last years finish is still an open wound

Im at the 'start to believe again' part of the supporter triangle.

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