Preview Changes Vs Port Adelaide, round 3 2021

[MrWoollie]

I concur, have already stuck my neck out on that one...am ok if Ahchee gets a run.

I'm more a fan of this happening in the WAFL. He's versatile enough to be a sub, sort of an emergency anywhere type, but hasn't shown he's an AFL standard player yet.

 

[Ochre]

Shuey Petch Ah Chee for Vardy Langdon O'Neill

 

[DanWCE]

Petch gives Langdon a chance to recover, but I don't think he's earned it. Let's see if he can expose Port again and kick a bag.

Unfortunate Xon. Gotta make some room for the Captain. Your time will come. Go light up the WAFL young son.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Petch? Wtf he almost went a whole game without getting a single stat!!

 

[wirra44]

Hi there, are there any tickets left for this game? Had a look and it said low availability but none showed up on Ticketmaster. Was after 2

Nah all sold out

 

[Shuestar13]

Petch will be the sub you would think.

Hopefully Oscars shoulder is alright, he is going to be rucking...

Sub comes from the emergencies, Petch is in the 22

 

[dajesmac]

I see the value in Petch while Port have gone in very tall. Kicked 5 on them once, let’s hope it happens again

 

[THE A5]

XOn the anti Petch/Ainsworth it seems. Yikes. Think XON needs to be backed in

 

[bUCKET__]

Ah Chee to the ruck!

 

[Ochre]

Witherden, Vardy, Langdon and Brander emergencies, you'd assume Vardy won't be the sub

 

[Shuestar13]

Thank you, clearly I haven’t grasped this
Well, 5 goals would be nice then from Petch haha.

 

[squashface]

Oh ffs, Petch again? Spare me.

What’s the point in dropping him if he’s going to be brought straight back in after jogging around in a WAFL practice match?

 

[KERRPOW]

Petch.



Petch


FFS

 

[kaII]

XON out and Petch in ain't it chief

 

[DanWCE]

Xon the sub then? Where's the emergencies?

In all honesty when you have a forward line as stacked as Eagles almost all of the entries are towards JK, JD and OA. You'd be lucky to get around it when they actually drop a mark and when they do you have to deal with Ryan and then Crippa. It is pretty flipping difficult to stand out in that lineup. At least he has pace over Langdon. In all honesty, bring down your expectation a little and be a little more realistic. you cant expect the 6th forward to be a stand-out 15 touches 3 goals every game. We got AA candidates floating around, we got Coleman medalist club champion, and Hall of Famers floating around. we got future captain potential next big FF floating around. should I keep going??

"Bring Down your expectations"?
He didn't actually touch the footy for the first 3 quarters in the first game of year.

It didn't seem to bother JJ last week.

 

[DanWCE]

Xon the sub then? Where's the emergencies?

Xon not in the emergencies so obviously prioritising minutes at the moment.

Brander and Langdon seem the most likely of the sub choices.

 

[Cursedsword02]

Is it weird to say that watching the Dogs thrash Norf has made me more confident in the boys winning tomorrow?

 

[WCErevival]

1 spud out and 2 spuds in.

Port beat Norf by 52. Dogs beat Norf by 128. Dogs beat us by 7. We will beat Port by 69. It's science.

Nice

 

[larrikin]

Don't mind the changes. Darling can ruck forward and with reduced stoppages this year Allen should have less than 20 contests. XON unlucky but can't see him playing forward effectively. Petch needs to pull a finger out and reward the match committee.

 

[Bacchus]

Obviously the management like Petch.
Allen hurts his shoulder so let’s put him in the ruck against Lycett and his offsider to test it out.
