Preview Preview and Changes Vs Adelaide

[klem22]

Rutten wont be able to go with Schulz but will be able to keep our resting ruckman quiet. If Westhoff can play like last week there isnt a player in the comp who can go with him and I think Talia will struggle to find a match up that suits him. Will be interesting to see if Wingard, Neade and Monfries can run amok.

Who will Paul Stewart try and shut down on the Crows half back line is what Im not totally sure of.

There was a time when rutten would have it over Treadrea, body builds were very similar and ruttens reach could stifle him very easily. I think Schultz is a different kettle of fish and rutten will find it a lot harder to dominate these days as we are a completely different outfit now

 

[Steve Dore]

I think it will be a Westhof Henderson match up. I think Westy should be able to expose him around the ground.

I guess it beats being exposed in the change rooms.

 

[Steve Dore]

i reckon Wines Sub. ......

No way.

great selection week again. the days of the friday facepalm may be over!

So far so good.

 

[Power Girl]

Further to this, I dont mind the crowies getting into some 'discussion' here. Let's not take it to personal, as long as they are not disrespectful. Its banter guys, much better than the luv-fests we sometimes see.

I just don't want them masturbating while saying their players names on our board.

 

[Gillian Batty]

Putting Rutten on Jay would be disatrous for them. He's far, far too athletic. Won't happen. There's no pride to take in lowering the colours of current-version Jono Brown. I don't know who Truck will match up on tbh, that's going to create a headache for their selectors. We don't have an aging oaf forward.

 

[Kickpuncher]

between one and two thousand.

At the game probably 10k-15k empty seats

 

[finbarr]

Latest forecast:

Shower or two. Min - 17. Max - 23.

Cloudy. Isolated showers. Light winds becoming west to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the middle of the day then becoming light in the late afternoon.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Otten will get first crack at him imo.

Otten usually goes to him. And you guys wonder why he always plays well in showdowns

reilly id imagine

 

[Peck]

Fallacy. Pittard, Stevenson and Heath are better players than Cassisi NOW. Getting experience into these guys and going all out for the win are one and the same thing at Port Adelaide.

I understand these guys look pretty good so far, but do you really believe they have shown the ability to stand up under pressure?

There is a reason experienced competitors can beat younger/fitter/smarter ones. Never underestimate experience.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Do you really believe that Cassisi showed the ability to stand up under pressure last year? Do you remember him nearly costing us the match against St. Kilda by messing up a simple 20 metre pass?

Raphael Clarke has nearly 100 games experience, how about we swap one of our half backs for him.

they are all young, potentially part of our next premiership push

if they are performing, doing what kenny wants - then they shouldn't be displaced

plus those named are defenders

that'd prob make them then the best short and long term option

 

[Nelso]

I am glad Stiffy Johncock is playing for them. He is normally one of our better players in Showdowns

 

[Portmanteau]

There is only one way to gain experience.

 

[El_Scorcho]

When I think of Johncock and showdowns I think of that Westhoff crunching tackle when Johncock figured he'd be able to waltz past him at half back

I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record but I'd take Heath's 4 games experience over Chaplin's 150 games every day of the week.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Anyone hear that arrogant **** Luke Brown on AA yesterday ?

I heard about 30 seconds of some crows guy who called us Port Power. Was that him? What did he say?

 

[FishingRick04]

Knee him in the head?

We have a mongrel back it won't work, sounds desperate if their answer is to try and take someone out

Hang on, back it up a bit. Did I miss something? Who was talking about taking our guys out?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I heard about 30 seconds of some crows guy who called us Port Power. Was that him? What did he say?

Rowe - "So how are you going to handle Westhoff?"
Brown - "Handle him? We'll just put the ball on his head and let Tex run through him"

Brown - "I can stand anybody"

Rowe - "Reckon you'd be able to stand Neade?"
Brown - "I'll be right"

Just the smug tone in which he said it in. You'd better get a kick now young man.

Rutten had it over Tredrea when he was starting the slow decline of an aging footballer, now Rutten is in that category and is looking slow and out of position (except against an even more slowed down J-Brown).

 

[FishingRick04]

ROwe briefly mentioned it to Carr tonight, Brown suggested the lob the ball up and take Westy out Carr replied with whatever and Rowe tried to dismiss it

 

[finbarr]

FIGJAM FC in all it's glory.

Did enjoy "Yeah I've got Neade covered". Maybe he's the poster on the cows board who wrote playing Neade agsinst them was disrespectful.
