Preview R23: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[Two Eight]

I am in two minds about what I want to see happen tomorrow night. I am ok for us to lose as it will lock in pick 4 this week and secure that pick before the Saints 1st pick. But on the other hand I would love to see us get a win and throw Port's top 4 chances into disarray. They are coming into this one as the favorite and are expected to win quite easily, these are often the games that they do drop. If we do win tomorrow night, then Port will have to win against Fremantle in Perth in the final round to finish in the top 4 and get the double chance.

They might have to win just to stay in the eight!

I wish Rayguns family had a quiet word to her

She is hopping to it

They did. They said do a kangaroo at the Olympics.

Nicks…… act quicker on BF suggestions you’ve been slow to react

I bet they are hopping mad

Dont rule out, us trading up to get Draper.

Crows causing a catastrophic Power Failure is a first priority.

Dont rule out Carlton being Carlton vs the Saints in R24.

Nicks only cares about himself and his immediate future, Pick 4 is irrelevant.

He will coach to win tomorrow, potentially at the detriment of losing a quality SA mid.

As he should

Tealster at work today saying how they will flog us as we are 15th and they 2nd.
Him saying the ladder doesn't lie.


Reminded him they flogged top placed Sydney a couple of weeks ago...

2nd vs a bottom 4 team, two rounds out from finals, in theory they should flog us.

But

I don't think they are really a 2nd spot team and I don't think we are a bottom four team.

Time will tell.

I would have had more faith in us winning, if a Power Failure would end Ports 2024 season.

So they said on 5AA 'if Thilthorpe plays'...is he a chance to not play now?

Structuring up, if Thilthorpe plays, then we need to go with him at FF, fog at CHF and Curtin on a flank providing that extra marking power and goal threat as a 3rd tall.

Pick 4 be damned, this is a Showdown. I want a win, and as big a win as possible.

Reckon Saints can sneak another W

Obviously couldn’t get a crows supporter to do it, so had to use an actor.

100%.

I'm pretty sure the Saints will beat Carlton anyway.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

Wasn't as influential as normal.

I actually expect it to be Curtin - Justification - Flexibility of having a utility player come off and cover any/all positions.

4 of the past 5 from memory.

Sydney are all but guaranteed top spot now, what chance they rest players against us so we may end up winning both our games
