Preview PORT ADELAIDE VS GEELONG, Saturday, June 22, 7:10PM @ Adelaide Oval- #BRINGBACKTHEBARS NIGHT

[PowerBaz]

Just looking at my multi for this week, and my spidey senses tell me Geelong are due to trip up, but your side would be the hardest mob to draw a line on at the moment.

I see the Power haven't played home since the Gold Coast, and that wasn't an inspiring effort.

Do any of you folks think you're traveling better than when the Crows got over you 5 weeks ago?

Do you want Ken? Please - ill drive him over

Hey, we just ditched a spud thanks. Try somewhere else.

Cannot find anything on the Club website and announcing changes for a Saturday night game on Wednesday seems a bit unusual. Is there a Changes v Cats thread? I have not seen one.

Not for us it isn't.

 

[raptalia]

Not for us it isn't.

Sorted.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Certain loss given Motflop hasn’t been dropped, hope someone gives him tainted food the night before the game & he pulls out late

 

[afl2004]

Dixon will be gassed at half time and so will our team

 

[Burgers45]

Some big outs, and also some big ins. Not so top heavy now. Wines is a mighty in. Geelong's winning history after bye is poor. Your a chance against those arrogant pr....ks.. Good luck guys.

 

[Power Raid]

Fingers crossed

 

[Enviable Tradition]

If Ken keeps Howard forward then these selections are average (not good because he leaves in Motlop).

If Ken plays Howard back and Charles as a lone hand he can get ****ed.

Motlop has to do something this weekend for more than just his 2019 being poor.

This was the stats for his first encounter versus his old side last year.

[gbear]

Geelong by 50+ points.

I am really having to psych myself up to bother going.

I'm telling you, Ports by something ridiculous like 40+. I'm talking Ports vs Hawthorn 2015 at half time type of game.

Think about it: up until this week, we've been maintaining forward pressure with Westhoff and Ryder up forward...which means, we haven't been maintaining much forward pressure at all. Then we added Howard and he helped a bit, but that made us too top heavy, especially if a side drops a player back in defence and it becomes about ground ball.

And yet, we are number one for time in forward half, even with that handicap.

This week, we've got the right mix of talls and smalls. A true key position forward like Dixon, supported by Howard, and a whole bunch of pressure forwards to really put the heat on Geelong's defence.

This could be our Richmond vs Port Adelaide moment - Hardwick said that in 2017, he knew they were ready to challenge for the flag when they beat Port.

 

[Janey]

I'll be there, I can hardly wait......….for it to be over

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Port to come out firing in the first quarter, leading by 22 points.

end of 2nd quarter it'll be leading by 8 points.

3rd quarter - Port scoreless geelong by 30

4th quarter lose by 13 points

 

[AwwThatsApples]

Ambitious selections this week, but how is Motlop still playing at AFL level? Seriously we got Ebert back and we didn't take out any of our silent small forwards. Was it just because he's coming up against his former side?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I'm in arms crossed, stern look mode.

Here’s hoping haha

Dear Ken,

I think you should play Riley Bonner forward. The reason behind this is that he is never anywhere near opposition players. Imagine how valuable that would be in the forward line.

I realise you know better than us but is it possible you have missed this? I also realise that half back flank is the most important position in football, so maybe we could put all the other players there to compensate?

Yours Sincerely

Another pesky member that should just accept mediocrity
