Key Port Match Ups

[ralu]

I believe we should defeat port at the G' on Saturday but there are a few port players that always have the ability to rip it up and dominate the game. These are the guys we need to get the right match ups for.
1) Shaun Burgoyne: Probably Rhyce Shaw, Daisy, Licca Ben Johnson and OB will run with him at some stage but Rhyce will start on him i think.
2) Peter Burgoyne: Licca, Daisy and Heath Shaw.
3) Warren Treadrae: Time for the highly underrated Prestigiacomo to claim another high profile scalp.
4) Brett Ebert: Obrien or Maxwell are sure to get the job, maybe Heath at stages.
5) Brendon Lade when forward: I think Wakes must be picked for this exact reason!!
6) Josh Mahoney: He's not a dominant player but does have the ability to kick goals: Obrien/Maxwell
7) Chad Cornes: This might be of a suprise to many but i would let Toovey run with him and try and shuut down his drive from our attacking 50.
8) Kane Cornes: Step up Licca!

You will notice that i havent given Tarken Lockyer a job. I would let him run by himself on a wing/half forward as he did against the tiges with complete dominance. MM mite have found a spot for tarks.
Give me your thoughts. Thanx

Toovey might be a chance to play on a Burgoyne. It'd be a big ask, but that's the kind of negating role that I think they have in mind for him. He's got good pace, great stamina, and he's disciplined and brave. Wouldn't be surprised to see him given a crack at it. Plus, he's got experience as a defender and height, so he's not gonna get exposed overhead if they run forward. If Toovey's gonna be a regular senior player, I reckon it'll be as a Steinfort-like tagger. The question will be whether or not they think he's ready to play on Burgoyne (he did play as a defensive HFF on Deledio).

Tag away lads, if we bring the A game you can tag to your hearts content, we will run away from you. I am coming over for the game so I hope that it is a great contest.

What makes you so sure of that?? There are no IFS in football its all about doing it on the day! Will you run away just like you do against the crows. Good luck and im sure it will be a great contest, do you think Pearce will play?

Presti isn't underrated as Port wanted him in the deal for Stevens. He was there first choice because as a defender your first priority is to stop your opponent. He does this day in day out without fuss. Who cares if you can have 1,000,00 oodf 50. If your player kicks 10 youv'e lost the battle. By the way, Lockyer can peel the oranges for this week.

Why do you say that about tarks?? Before the season started i would've thought he could peel the oranges for the whole 22 rounds. But he has been fantastic for the first 3 games and was a star against richmond. Cut him some slack please as he has been one of if not our best player this year.

 

[gormanisahack]

Yeah I agree.
I think Brett Ebert in the foward line could be the main danger with a lot of our attention in our back 6 put in Tredrea and Lade (when foward). I assume Brogan isn't playing, this could mean Lade spends more time in the ruck who will come in for Brogan?

Surely he can't be talking about Tark's form, perhaps his skill in the kitchen hence the orange peeling comment.

Fabian Deluca.

I usually match my port with some cheese and crackers. Sometimes I will even have nachos.

 

[Frederlick]

Presti on Treadre good, Wakes on Lade good, but whilst Toovey on Corns isn't totally crazy, it is a risk. Corns will spend a lot of time running midfield and Toovey may get found out because of inexperience. Whilst it may work should be ready with plan B if Corns starts to lose him in traffic. Tarks may find himself tagged! Hope O'bree plays as well as last wek.

Haha jabso, i love your work nearly as much as i love tarks'!!

Ebert, tarks and heater shut him down make them see Ebert and cringe as it rebounds over their heads all day. So they rotate and create a loose man off him

Mighty presti who is needed to shut down tredders, no brainer.

Chad, hmm loose and unaccountable, will kill us if we dont actually make him stand a man. How about cox? or max? id give coxy a crack. think he might make chad a little

The rest can go 1 on 1, dont think they can hold us. I think those 3 can win the game for port. So they need to have limited influence. Oh and if we can make them go long and ****** their marks inside 50 we will blow them away by 10 goals, so i suggest we move off them if they gain control at half back They need marks inside 50, they have little outside 50 scoring power, thats their weakness, exploit it.

Some people make you embarrased to support your team, but some people like this make you more embarrased to be alive than anything else.

I'm not sure about you guys at Collingwood, you've been somewhat a surprise packet with all the rookies you've pulled through so far whilst still performing. You've played 2 of the worst teams in the league, but you also played the best team and looked good, so god knows what to expect. We played a premiership favourite who were looking good until we smashed their confidence, then comprehensively beat the horrible Kangas, then although we played ok we couldn't score against the incredibly well-drilled crows so I have no idea what to expect of my team either!!!

Pearce will miss which is a bonus for you guys & Brogan who was in AA form will also miss.

Our keys are Ebert up forward, The Brothers Burgoyne in the middle & Chad down back. I believe it'll be an even game but we can be outcoached easily and I wouldn't be surprised if Malthouse destroys us with some good coaching because our game-plan appears to be very shallow and beyond Plan 'A' there really isn't a Plan 'B'.

 

[Jimbeam]

I thought pete, pearce and brogan where out?

 

[Invigoration]

Your A game...??

Re-read the thread big fella 'Match Ups', hence most players named are forwards we intend on 'matching up'

Tag, don't make me laugh... You need players worthy of being tagged first

Show me how effectively you can run away from us right now... Now there's an idea

 

[Jumbo]

Shaun BURGOYNE would fall into that category. The other would be Chad CORNES which would be more a case of making Chad accountable otherwise he will have a field day across half back.

 

[daics cousin]

Port game,may be a danger game,and should not be taken lightly.
Without most of our leadership group out,Port have got some lightning quick players who could cut us to shreds if we are not careful.I am confident we can cover most of their players but Chad Cornes is the worry for me.Without the general jimmy clement their i reckon if toovey runs with Cornes he may get exposed.Cornes can be very damaging and he plays a great role down back and floats up forward.Hopefully we can nullify him.My prediction pies in a close one.
