Changes v Port (latest; out: Murray, In: Murphy)

[TKiL]

Not Sure We can Beat Port Now without Howe

FMD; BMD; ISOTS

 

[Mukesh]

We have two games to get him accustomed...…….I have little faith in Moore unfortunately.

I thought Moore has been ruled out for the season... or am I imagining it ?

No he will be back. It was a minor strain on his "good" hammy...…..see him running below.

 

[good4footy]

Who will he play on?

No Dixon so minimal chance he plays.

Madgen is well ahead of him right now.

They will bring in Frampton and Marshall. Westoff will need to be looked after as well and will probably play forward the majority of the game. Even with Dixon and probably Ryder out they will still play two talls.

However, i dare say we will play a short defence again this week and hope to win the midfield battle. Port are a better team than the Lions and will probably be able to make us pay with forward entries better than the Lions did. I would prefer McClarty came in for coverage.

Don't forget the bloke that killed us Queens Birthday last year.

Yes we will need to mind him but he is more a flanker type. Crisp or Langdon probably for him. Probably Crisp if we don't bring in McClarty as Langdon will have to take one of the talls.

Looks fine, bring him in.

 

[CFC2010]

Looks fine, bring him in.

 

[MyManLynch]

If no Howe, I say no change.
Port will mix it up with a smaller forward set up.
They will look at fast entries to small, quick, skilful players.
We don’t need to go too tall down back.

Marshall's chances are about as good as Charlie Dixon and he has a broken leg

Thanks for the update. Looks like the battle of the wounded/last man standing coming up.

 

[The Young Chevalier]

Out: Oxley
In: McLarty

I suspect no changes if Howe doesn't get up.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they plan to rest De Goey for the Fremantle game should we beat Port.

Agree about “managing” (aka resting JDG) is we beat Port.

 

[JM#1]

I'd hope not. Not with a top 4 spot on the line.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

4 to 5 weeks for a cork, only at Collingwood.

If we beat Port, top four is up for grabs. Nobody gets rested.
if we lost to Port, top six or even top eight is at risk. Nobody gets rested.

Doesn’t sound likely to me.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

FAIRANDBALANCED …….I thought you would like this.

Haha, thanks for that. I actually think he has been only OK 6/10ish this year overall, but has lifted the last few weeks when Scharenberg and Howe went down.

I just don't see the turnover/panic merchant others see. I think he has a very high ceiling and expect even more from him going forward.

Thought he had Concussion?

Thank you Dr

I think he has been better than 6/10 but I also think it was unfair that they had to play on such a tall forward line last week.

McClarty has to come in this week IMO especially now Howe isn’t fit.

 

[nahnah]

No change then I guess. Hope Howe is back for the Freo game.
