Preview R9: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[Kane McGoodwin]

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.

Shouldn't it be suspended as AFL suspended him?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Well there you go. Nicks got sacked mid week.

Was on leave selection night.

What, not more studies

Triggy imprinted hard on old Jen

Seriously, **** off.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hopefully!

 

[cleanhands]

Hopefully!

Or maybe graduation night

 

[CrowBloke]

Wouldn't mind dipping the knife in some concentrated hydrochloric acid before hand, just so we get a little extra burn.

Jeeeez, that's VICIOUS ... I wish I'd thought of it ...

 

[Afcprophet]

Good changes, so nohing to complain about. But we could have been a little bit more forward thinking in regards to exposing players and rotating them through. Schoenberg and Pedlar as sub instead of Berry to expose them to some afl level football, and see if they're worth keeping.

I'd like to see us try Jones instead of Nank again at some stage. And give Edwards a debut.

Keane, Nankervis, Berry are the only players in this side I'd still think we need to replace with better players.

 

[Samcro24]

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

Nah

He only played because hinge was out. Therefore it’s safe to assume he’ll play again if hinge ever misses.

It is what it was. Old stager given a chance, kicked a goal at the end of a good game from him.

The feel good movie of 2025.

Hope Nank lifts. Has been pretty poor this year, but I'm glad he's getting another chance.

 

[Vladdy Daddy]

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..

Not one of these ins make our 22. None of the outs do either. State of their list is terrible, and we should win easily. If we don’t it’s not on talent.

I would have dropped Nank and let him recover his mojo in the 2s. Smithy is a Showdown veteran and a tough nut. Might have been handy for the ineviteable huff and puff and piss and wind the Pear will put on in the 1st 15 minutes.

I really don’t think our younger guys are bothered by it, doesn’t appear to be in their make up

Speaking of knives, I was driving along the Monaro Highway this arvo, behind a van which was advertising an expert knife-sharpening service. I didn't think much of this until I saw it taking a left into the Canberra Gaol! LOL Their shivs must be blunt.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Wow

Were they following a cake baking van?

They would have to do files as well for that.

The protectees used to work in the kitchen.

Didn't help ex Riverland cop at Yatala...

 

[adelaidecrows]

I like that we dropped smith, even though I predicted we wouldnt. Past Nicks would have dropped Nank and kept Smith so I guess this is a step in the right direction.

 

[Stephen2]

I want Sid Draper playing midfield minutes, do we really think Berry has all of a sudden become good enough for the career Draper can have?

Waste of our own time...

Otherwise, sure good team.

Whilst I can’t comment on game day form, there appears to be subtle changes to selection which isn’t the norm

 

[Dangarman]

I still want to see a 119 point win in a showdown. Preferably with a Crows player very deliberately kicking a point in the dying seconds when we are 118 points up.

 

[ftmch]

Agreed. I like that they are sticking with him during a down patch

 

[Slime Roy]

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

Bullshit!
