Preview Port Adelaide vs Brisbane Lions – Sunday 14/07/19, 4:40pm (Brisbane time) at Adelaide Oval

[M Malice]

Who plays forward, Adams or Walker?

 

[Lazza16]

With the injuries / management of Hodge and Hipwood and the announced 'ins' tonight, I think the changes will be McInerney and Mathieson.

I know someone mentioned a third change, but looking at the remaining 20 players that played the Giants, I couldn't find an obvious player to omit unless it is an omission for structural reasons i.e. similar to when Walker was dropped against the Dogs.

McInerney is an obvious in, but I'd be surprised if we went for another tall such as Walker or Payne; unless of course we dropped Lester because we wanted that bigger key position player. As for Hodge's replacement, although not like for like, I reckon we'd go for another mid and Mathieson is the only one that has been brought into the squad. Christensen and Keays are too like for like for mine, so not sure we'd bring in Keays without dropping Mathieson.

Christo could be Hodges replacement......did some work down back late last year n was alright at it.

 

[davemc_lions]

You say Walker for Hodge. Big O for Hippy.

 

[Harris Specter]

No SPP for Port. He killed us last time.

Boak comes back in though, and crazy Hinkley has brought in Sutcliffee in place of Duursma.

 

[Section 5]

Flexibility with Walker. But i think they start with Adams forward then see how game unfolds.

Confirmed, Hodge and Hipwood swapped out for Walker and Big O

How? Port have a tall team

 

[martinson]

Well I guess Walker can go forward or back and with a query over where Adams might play it gives us extra flexibility that we wouldn't have with Payne.

Although I'm sure they have a set plan in mind.

Hoping for the Payne

Walker should be able to take quite a few grabs against PA . I guess Harris takes Dixon ??

 

[AFLQLD]

We have plenty of tall flexibility if needed so there are a few options to mix and match between forward, back and the two rucks depending on how the game pans out.

Port taking out Duursma is a bit of a surprise. It almost seems like a reactionary move by them.

Hoping for Payne over Walker?

 

[Dalions]

Walker did a fantastic job against Port earlier in the year!
23 disposals, 19 kicks, 4 handballs,
16 marks and 1 Tackle. It was a pretty good night out!

 

[Scubaveg]

Hoping for Payne over Walker?

Yeah, we know what Walker brings. Keen to see the Payne train in action and see what he brings at senior level.

Good on Josh Walker getting back in.

You called it 3KZ is Football

Whilst I fear we have a very tall lineup, it is a side that will have Port guessing given the flexibility of many of of our players.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

I just hope one of Answerth or Bailey just absolutely suffocate Rozee. That kid is good and has skill but I want him silenced, let them get goals elsewhere

Glad to hear that this game hasn't been lost at the selection table and that we can take some hope in to the game

What are you talking about?

We're playing Bundy (instant loss) and once again elected not to select BRABlow medalist Ryan Bastinac... Lost at the selection table.

Good to see the selection table back in form after three lean weeks on the trot

 

[lions27]

Good ins.

 

[mpal6]

Quietly confident. I think we got this one, same style as last week with Walker Adams and McInerney adding more flexibility to the line up. Not relying on hipwood that heavily looks like a blessing now.

I tipped this! JOSH WALKER and RYAN LESTER ARE TOP 22 THIS WEEK!

We won against Port last time because of Hippy. Not having him this weekend is a huuuge loss
