Opinion Changes vs Geelong

[TazD]

If I was Sam Hayes I'd throw Hinkley out of a window

Or shoot his dog, but then again Ken might take that as a favor depending on how quick it is.

 

[Del165198]

Hinkley has done plenty wrong but he's right about Hayes. Needs to have more impact around the ground. Winning the ruck mean f**k all at AFL level, it's the rucks that impact around the ground that really matter.

No, hitouts to advantage are massive.

Our players haven't had a competent ruck to rove to since Ryder

 

[afl2004]

Butters not 100 don't fing play him , amazing talent who this club is going to ruin only to help hinkley buy another
800 k house

 

[Chachi]

No, hitouts to advantage are massive.

So you think Hayes is an asset in the team?

 

[DazzaTys]

The oiled Adonis that is Hawkins and the campaigner Cameron could make this weekend very ugly. The Blic will probably run some kind of AFL km record as our game plan continually sees us bomb repeated entries into our fifty, have zero forward pressure applied and finally watch it rebound out even quicker.

 

[Del165198]

So you think Hayes is an asset in the team?

He had good games and bad games but I think it's better to develop him in the team since we literally have no other ruck, rather than playing for an uncompetitive SNAFU side

 

[Janus]

No, hitouts to advantage are massive.

Our players haven't had a competent ruck to rove to since Ryder

They are massive but they don’t make up for not contributing around the ground.

Max Gawn - 18 hitouts, 16 disposals, 6 marks and 3 clearances

Luke Jackson - 13 hitouts, 13 disposals, 3 marks, 5 tackles and a goal

 

[Chachi]

I couldn't help but wonder how Jase would have gone against Kozy. Has the speed and agility to have limited his impact.

He would be a good match up for Stengle this week as well.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Biggest thing for me on the weekend was how unprepared Bonner was.

Like I get he is coming off a month long injury but is there no onus to go I'm not ready and get some reps in the seconds?

Bonner always seems to have a stinker coming back from injury. Maybe the policy with him should be always at least 1 game in the sanfl before back in the A grade.

 

[rogerjames]

After watching them beat Carlton it won't surprise me if they win it this year.

Unfortunately they're a much better team this year than 2021.

 

[Macca180]

Port always beat Geelong at home.

Port.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Port always beat Geelong at home.

Port.

We've lost to them at home more than we've beaten them in the Hinkley era. Our recent record had been better thanks to them choking in finals though.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Port always beat Geelong at home.

Port.

We don’t, actually.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Port always beat Geelong at home.

Port.

You left out "in qualifying finals".

 

[philreich]

If only...

It'll be seen as evidence that Hinkley has everyone back on the right track and will be used to justify giving him a contract extension.

Just putting it out there - another Hinkley extension may actually destroy the club. He would then hold the distinction of saving the club, and then destroying it, which is a rare talent.

 

[Winganeen]

I don't really get the calls to drop Mead, this is the time to play our youngsters.

Mead, Burgoyne, Georgiades, Bergman should be locks for the rest of the year. Schofield, maybe Sinn if he gets fit should also get a run.

I'd be playing Hays purely to get his trade value up.

We aren't going to play younger players until finals is mathematically impossible. At least another week, possibly more of gaslighting by the club, that Ken could still get us there (by playing banged up older players who won't be around for our next flag attempt).

 

[VineValerian]

Burgoyne in.
MG to medi sub.
That is all.

[Lawnchair Larry]

Defenestration.
Dekenestration.

 

[Chizza12]

In - Jones, Burgoyne
Out - Farrell, Mead

Both Jones and Burgoyne to play as small forwards. I know they're both more half-back types, but we desperately need more speed and pressure in the front half.

 

[Windy Cindy]

No need for hayes this week, we Should be able to match them with Dixon and finalyson

bring in duursma for mead

bring in jones and play him on stengle

stick SPP on duncan

be prepared for rozee to be tagged

can't see us winning, actually I can’t see us winning a game until the crows

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Sounds like they are seriously considering bringing in Jones, Fantasia and Teakle to bolster the forward line.

Bassett looking to load up forward firepower

Might as well roll the dice, there are coaches whose careers need saving.
Look forward to being down to 1 fit player on the bench by quarter time.
