Preview R23: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[ThePrideOf]

I worry that with Tex out this really gives the other mob a real shot…

I know they have outs as well but Tex just holds the structure and aliir now can just enjoy a game of zero accountability

Still have Fog and Thilthorpe to worry about

 

[ams4crows]

Bond to Willie?

I'm tempted to go JHF full run with role, niggle him all night


If Tex is out, tempted to play Curtin forward and give Charlie Edwards a run in the middle and Murphy sub so Taylor can play his role

Like it. My only concern is JHF’s aerial ability. He plays above his height. But I suppose he’s hard to stop regardless

No chance is Edwards playing.

Play Max on JHF, he’d be too strong in the air for Bond.

Gold coast proved already that he doesn't enjoy a tight tag or his opponent being physical with him. To me he is Port's most dangerous and influential player.

 

[Scorpus]

I'd like to see Murphy go on a sniping rampage so outrageous he gets deregistered from the game

Run izak head to head with him..make JHF have to be accountable going the other way or get torched

Have Port come out with how much they hate us yet?

Sounds as scripted and manufactured as their "history"

 

[huludicidal]

Out:
Walker (inj), Nankervis (managed), Murphy (omitted)

In:
Gollant, Ryan, Dowling

Sub:
Berry

Emg:
Edwards, Himmelberg, Cook



Nank looks in desperate need of the season finish line. Love him as a player but his last 2 games certainly warrant a “rest” (more so than Dowling being dropped last week). I would just give him a week off completely. No SANFL.

Murphy isn’t good at anything and his ongoing selection is beyond a joke. We’ve successfully binned McHenry, we’ve eliminated Laird from the midfield rotation, and we’ve relegated Smith and Jones to depth players. In a strange twist of events that nobody could possibly have seen coming, doing those things has made us a better side. Final boss: dump Murphy.

Gollant is the logical replacement for Tex on the back of his 8 goals, in addition to Thilthorpe being back to full backup ruck capacities, rendering a Himmelberg selection pointless.

Ryan deserves a crack. Let’s alternate him between a wing and half back and have him use his pace to attack.

Dowling is versatile and can do whatever the team requires. It’s actually laughable how much better than Murphy he would be in Murphy’s role.

Berry is a better sub than full game player, especially with Crouch, Taylor, Dowling and Rankine in the side. He can impact clearances in the second half.



B: Bond - Murray - Worrell
HB: Hinge - Keane - Michalanney
C: Sholl - Crouch - Ryan
HF: Rachele - Fogarty - Rankine
F: Curtin - Thilthorpe - Keays
R: O’Brien - Dawson - Soligo
Int: Dowling - Taylor - Laird - Gollant
S: Berry

everything you said was perfect I love it so much babe

 

[Geoffa32]

With Tex out I would bring Cook back.

Have Curtin play midfield/Key Forward.


Have Thilthorpe stick with Alir all game.

No, but the ABC's trying to stir the pot.

Silly comment from Fog.
Port have consistently run their mouth and lost the games. We've played a very straight bat and won. No need to stoke it.

He should have thought about it a tad longer. It was made answering a baited question and he fell for it hook line and sinker.

Hinkly will have this scrawled all over the change rooms to add to their huff and puff.

Was that said straight after the game?

Hope so, with match day win adrenalin.

If not, pretty poor.

Yes, use that internally to get up for the game. But don't make it public.


As dumb as the parade of players Port trot out saying they hate our club.

Yep straight after the game.

I rolled my eyes and said out loud "**** me as if Port needed any more incentive"

I bet the Port players have been threatened with death if they come out with their usual huff puff dumbness.

We beat them to it this time.

Well let port use it as motivation..I would think Fogarty will relish the physicality as will Thilthorpe, Murray, Worrell, Keane etc. Why don't we use it to fire up even more too. We beat port here and other results go against them and top 4 might be too hard to make and then its much much harder for them to win the flag.

 

[FR0GGY]

As long as someone burries that flog butters into the turf at some stage.

you thinking its worth a 1 or 2 game suspension for one of the boys to make that happen

 

[WeeBlake]

You try telling Murphy he can’t fly the flag!

I’m ok with Rankine getting another week or two.

 

[Crow till I die]

NO - he will miss round 1 next year. We need to prime Murphy up and as others have said, fly the flag. NO damaging next year for the important players

 

[whattagun07]

No Tex in a Showdown just feels wrong

Aliir aliir breathing a sigh of relief.
Time for Fog to embarrass him
