Preview R9: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[ams4crows]

Jed McEntee, their missing piece

Callum Chalmers medal incoming

 

[DJ75]

Genuinely shocked we dropped Smith and have kept Nankervis in. From a long term perspective, 100% the right thing to do.

Just shocked we did it.

Staggering.
I'm not sure what to do with these sensible selections.

 

[cleanhands]

Congratulations to Nicks on making a decision I didn't think he would make

Kudos

What is happening at HQ

 

[ams4crows]

Soooooo the changes were refreshingly simple.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

In: D.Visentini, J.Sinn, C.Moraes, J.McEntee, R.Burton
Out: W.Lorenz (omitted), W.Rioli (personal reason), J.Sweet (omitted), L.Evans (omitted), J.Berry (omitted)

Port shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic..

Their bottom 6 are trash but they're still very capable of winning this game. Just hope the boys come out with intent and don't just expect it to happen.

’s last game for the club, a fitting way to go out with that goal and getting mobbed by teammates / fans alike.

Staggering.

An injury, suspension or poor form and rightfully he comes waltzing back in next week against the Pies. Good tough decision, and possibly a shrewd one also!

 

[jbanger]

Simple change, just how it should be (unlike my daughter's netball coach who takes one off and moves everyone around instead of swapping like for like)

 

[Geoffa32]

Good to see Smithers used exactly as he should be.
Mature age depth for Hinge/Milera.


I would make Nank sub

 

[FR0GGY]

Anyone know why riolis been dropped?

RoB could win the Showdown Medal

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Well done coaches

Right call made

 

[Vladdy Daddy]

Woozle in ripping form, would love to see him win the showdown medal

 

[Geoffa32]

Anyone know why riolis been dropped?

Family Business in Darwin?

 

[WetCrow1991]

The reaction to Smith's goal makes even more sense now. It felt like a farewell game goal reaction at the time to me.

 

[Bovo]

Genuinely shocked we dropped Smith and have kept Nankervis in. From a long term perspective, 100% the right thing to do.

Just shocked we did it.

This!

 

[Jack McKraken]

Im just disappointed we havent tried to wear this jumper.

Stunning guernsey and stunning arms

 

[BRL121]

Port are resting 5 players and they aren't even travelling!

They must be bloody confident.

 

[Crowboto]

Is this some kind of record for the least amount of melts on team selection night ever?

 

[1970crow]

Official changes are Hinge in, Smith out

Selection is improving. Although, the like for like is still a touch simplistic for my liking. But then, maybe they’re happy with Nank and him being subbed wasn’t about performance as much as thought. As posted by someone, if you take into account TOG, he’s actually getting more of the ball than Cumming and their DE is almost identical. But not sure Nank is capable of the sublime kicks that we from Cunming, but to be fair, there hasn’t been that many of them.

 

[thebirdman 24]

I did not think Nicks would do that.

 

[crows dude]

RoB could win the Showdown Medal

A very good chance.

Port shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic..

W. Rioli (personal reason)

The reason might have been 'personal' the moment he hit send on the text, well, it's anything but personal now! It's only in every second AFL headline.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

RoB could win the Showdown Medal

He has alternated between good & bad games.

Hopefully he breaks the trend this week with consecutive good games.
