Preview Changes v Port Adelaide

[alex_is_on_fire]

I replied to your bolded bit as to why we have selected the best available side. You responded with an illogical rant.

Chill Alex!

why bring mackay into it?

We have a plethora of senior players, we can cope by removing Mackay, vb, wright and still not needed to plsy Martin.

We can play Lever, Atkins, Knights, CEY, Lyons and crouch in the same side.

Thats called having direction and looking towards the future.

Alex I actually agree with you mostly but in the end you need to pick a balabced side to beat your opposition on the day

Too much of one type and you get exposed

Getting pumped in the showdown because we are looking into the future is not what the club needs right now , we need a balance and I think this team is pretty right for this week

A first gamer second gamer less than 10 gamer (lever) means that we are bringing in youth with more to come

Who said we'd get pumped?

Are you reality expecting Wright, Martin and Mackay to make that much of a difference?

I love it when Alex is in one of his moods

Alex it's not just about the senior players but who replaces the ones you want dropped.

Name a better balanced team from the players who are available rather than just complaining some players should be dropped.

coincidentally, they come around when Martin is picked.

I'm sure he is a really nice guy but he's not an AFL footbnall anymore.

 

[billy fragos]

Why do people hate wright. His performances are satisfactory but getting ball is not his role, he gets players involved, shepherds, blocks. The handball to knight for his first goal sparked his game and potentially his career.

 

[Bovo]

About time VB got dropped. Would have loved to have seen Pods get a gig as he can play both ends....our forwards have been off for a few weeks and his contested game may have come in handy.

I have a good feeling about this game. Danger to win the inaugural Walsh medal and gee I hope Danger and Wines go head to head.

Really looking forward to this one.

Who would be a better impact player to select as sub?

inconsistency is my only concern. The difference between his best and worst....you could relocate the Grand Canyon. Need him to fire on the right side.

That's proven to be false - his one percenters and pressure acts are insignificant.

The entire premise is crap anyway; you don't pick a player whose role isn't to get the footy, but to shepherd and block; especially not a small forward.

May as well be a player down - which we frequently are due to Wright's lack of contribution.

Lyons for Wright.

Done

2 shaws too many

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lyons for Wright.

Done

As mentioned above, I would agree to that one but Afc unfortunately don't see Lyons as a hff. Kerridge or Grigg will soon address this...

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Who said we'd get pumped?

Are you reality expecting Wright, Martin and Mackay to make that much of a difference?

No I'm not but I wouldn't play Lyons as the running back pocket/ wing or CEY as the pressure forward ....martin is a logical sub choice

Defence is too tall. Shaw is a replacement for lever or hartigan type. I would drop hendo before mackay as a defender. Cheney being fit will be when it gets interesting.

I would love kerridge in for Wright but he is about a week away from gaining fitness.

Reckon Cheney & kerridge will both return next week & the side will be even better.

Cey we have played out of form subbing twice & week off & needs a full hit out. He will be back.

Sure.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

If Wright's role isn't to get the ball he can do that equally well out of the team

Look, I really don't care any more.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Until this footy club makes some very difficult decisions on certain players, we won't be heading anywhere.

It really won't matter who the coach is, we will only ever been as good as our weakest link and players who can not get the job done.

We are not very good and I will stand by the fact we will struggle to win any more than 2 out of our next 5 or 6 games.

martin doesn't get picked once a month?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Next week possible side to cheer you up...

B: hartigan, talia, Brown
Hb: Laird, lever, Smith
c: Henderson, Dangerfield, knight
Hf: lynch, walker, kerridge
f: Betts, Jenkins, Cameron
r: Jacobs, Thompson, Douglas
I: Cheney, m crouch, Atkins, mackay (sub)
