Preview Changes vs Western Bulldogs, Round 10, 2020

[Portmagpies36]

The only change I am concerned about is playing back at the Adelaide Oval.

 

[sobrave]

Both Burton and Bonner are capable of both legs, and able to run the ball out of defence. Lienert is much more similar to McKenzie, playing taller and almost always moves the ball by kicking long and always off the one side.

you guys are seeing an "in theory" version of boner that doesn't exist. more likely he gets worried out of it and loses possession, gets caught htb, or his "long ranging weapon" of a kick goes to an opposition player.

Ebert suffering from concussion again?

 

[x_les_x]

Resurected Drew bonner lieno and Burgerman emergencys

 

[robbo1981]

Shattered for Ebo, it's really concerning stuff.

Has been really good this yr but as I posted at the start of the yr he may have to look at making a tough decision to put his other family first.

 

[Prochard123]

Houston to tag Macrae?

 

[TryAnHit]

Will Houston go back to mid now with Ebert out? He's too good to be wasted at HBF

 

[PAFC_1870]

What's happening with Garner? Haven't heard much about him...

 

[TeeKray]

Its obviously concerning to read Ebert and concussion symptoms in the same sentence but let's not overreact without any sort of detail. The fact that this has happened off the 4 day break makes me think that maybe he's following a very strict concussion protocol where even a headache or something x amount of days out from a game puts a line through his name. Let's just wait and see where this goes before calling his career.

 

[HighBudget]

Lienert gets instantly dropped for being competent and doing his job, meanwhile Riley boner gets gifted game after game after game..

Oh well! Bonner wouldn’t play at all if Burton could keep himself on the field

 

[Jonts]

Will Houston go back to mid now with Ebert out? He's too good to be wasted at HBF

Wouldn't think so

 

[Byron!!!]

you guys are seeing an "in theory" version of boner that doesn't exist. more likely he gets worried out of it and loses possession, gets caught htb, or his "long ranging weapon" of a kick goes to an opposition player.

Last game he played he had 14 disposals at 92% (second highest for the team) 3 clearances, 0 frees against, and only one clanger.

Houston provided us with more taking over that position, but your criticisms of Bonner do not appear to be based on reality.

Concussion symptoms. Club seem to think he's ok to go after this game. I'd be very concerned. Would have pulled the plug on him last year and put him out to stud.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Caleb Daniel must love playing Port.

A height match up!

 

[Smithy7]

The other thing I am thinking of. Is his concussion problems effecting him.

Unfortunately it looks like I was on the money there .. Geez I hope all goes well for Brad.

 

[drcollossimo]

He probably loves the novelty of playing full back

Bonner has a lot of issues in his game but that's still his role and playstyle. Lienert does not play that role or playstyle.

You're advocating for a restructuring of our team and I don't support that. Our team balance is really solid at the moment.

There's a mandatory gap between concussion tests I believe - which means given the late onset of symptoms I doubt they would have had results back by the captains run and team selection or potentially even the game.

Every chance he's absolutely fine and passed the concussion stuff easily as you said. Fingers crossed anyway

Are you sure? Doesn't look like him at all.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Game will be won in the midfield. Last year Bont, Dunkley, Macrae got the 3,2,1 votes from the umps but it will also be Bailey Smith, Wallis, Libba, McLean etc that we have to make sure don't dominate.

I'd run Ollie with the Bont for most of the night or until Bont starts to dominate.

Need our taller forwardline players of Dixon, MG, Hoff to stretch their short defence. Time for Robbie and Rozee to have big games.

 

[Power Raid]

fingers crossed for an exciting debut for woodcock

it has been a long time since we've has a pacey small forward, crumbing at the feet of our big men

Bonner was terrible against St Kilda and was rightfully dropped. Stats Schmats
