Port were good yesterday but they are definitely gettable. Not a top 8 side IMO.
Yeh, you can count on the good teams to bring Port crashing back down to earth but with us - we are better at playing the opposition into form or earning them the title of flag favorites. Sry for the pessimism. I saw nothing on Thursday night or Saturday showing me that we can beat them unless they forget to turn up. IMO we are a bottom 2 to 4 side. Bar GC (if), all our wins will be upsets in some respects.

Also keep your eye out on the social media, the last few years we have had player meet and greets the morning after the match :)
If the AFLW GF is on in Adelaide, I think it'll be tied to that, at best. If it's in Melbourne, expect them to get home and support the girls.

Watched the Port game yesterday. Players like Butters and Duursma (2nd gamers, I know) are going to chop our midfield up if we’re not 2 way running.

Watts was huge for them yesterday we can’t allow him to get away with that sort of performance against us, need to make him accountable. We should have them stretched defensively

Don’t worry. He’s played his one good game for the season.

At Adelaide Oval i simply dont like the odds...we have had some solid defeats down there at times...by...[35 points round 2 2019]
Round 1 showed us where we are at....

-List recovering with some nice trades and draft maturing but still not able to execute an AFL elite format consistently-fitness issues not run out 4 solid quarters-size and strength of players dont not look good enough - The coach needs to be more passionate and fire up A LOT MORE we need some passion-

Bolton need to be monitored for his suitablity....he no doubt is good but we may need him to become more aggressive in approach,we need to break the ice and get some confidence back.........

At this stage I think we are a tall short, unless MM goes back, which is not ideal

Weitering v Westhoff
Plowman v Watts
Jones v Ryder/Lycett

Newman v Gray

Leaves Marshall

Goddard might get a gig this week

Wish Macreadie and or Marchbank were fit
Watts is playing half back. Didn't go forward at all yesterday.
