Preview R9: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[Bovo]

I can’t see Nicks dropping Smith. Hinge was unlucky with the MRO, but is a better fit to the team than Nank or Smith. I reckon it will be Nank who makes way for Hinge.

 

[Interloperer]

I'll give Curtin at least one thing. He plays the wing position properly, and is ususally an available outlet. And doesn't (and probably can't) get himself unnecessarily deep into defence to prop up his useless low-percentage disposals in failed rebounds.

 

[Barneythecrab]

Are we brave enough to rest Tex and play Pedler for the showdown?

Not Nicks

 

[Afcprophet]

Nank must come out. Keane should be dropped too.

 

[Cromulant]

Keane.... why ??

 

[cleanhands]

Keane.... why ??

No Dixon

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I wouldn’t mind Bond in the team to stop either JHF or Butters

 

[Cromulant]

He's a small defender, yes he played on Merrett.... Zac had 30 and a goal.

 

[Kickin Goals]

Out: Nank, Smith
In: Hinge, Bond

Would love to see Hugh come in and just completely blanket Rioli, they struggle when he gets taken out of the game.

I think Rioli might be in a bit of trouble anyway, he belted someone in the head off the ball yesterday.

Given Hinge got a week, it would be a total pisstake if Rioli doesn't get 1.

Out: Nank

In: Nicks

In: Hinge, Pedlar

Or just change Pedlar/Berry

Berry was good when he came on last night.

Perfect sub

 

[cleanhands]

Perfect sub

Would he deserve a full game?

 

[Thylacinus]

Unless there are unexpected injuries or something else unforeseen, it will very likely simply be Nank out of the 23 and Hinge in.

 

[Cromulant]

Would he deserve a full game?

Hard to say given we played well through the midfield. I don't think we'll be making many changes at all.

Not against a rotation of the sub though, whether it be Pedlar in for Berry to give Berry a full SANFL game.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Well he didn't

just a fine.

 

[Cromulant]

Unless there are unexpected injuries or something else unforeseen, it will very likely simply be Nank out of the 23 and Hinge in.

Very likely.

 

[FR0GGY]

just a fine.

Poor hinge would be feeling pretty flat with that outcome

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

just a fine.

It really is one rule for the Crows and a rule for everyone else.

Convince me otherwise.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I think Hinge might come in for Nank

Curtin wing and Smith sub ?

Berry would be stiff and Nank is stiff for not being played in his best position

If Smith is sub, that means Berry or someone else comes into the 22 (assuming Hinge for Nank, too)

 

[thebirdman 24]

He's a small defender, yes he played on Merrett.... Zac had 30 and a goal.

The mythology about Bonds tagging ability seems to grow each week.

Remember Riley Knight once tagged Selwood to 25 disposal and for years he was spoken about as potential tageer.
