Unofficial Preview Round 1: Port Adelaide vs. Fremantle

[Kenny_01]

Hamling an emergency, everyone else in the side including DP. We are going small and planning to outrun them.

 

[mattis117]

Wow I got pretty close, only off by D. Pearce for Spurr.

Note: Missed Hamling out... hmmm interesting.

 

[Timmytime]

Very surprised about Hammers omission, didn’t see that coming.

 

[Cameron_K]

Hamling omitted.... wow.

 

[yakka man]

WTF? Hamling dropped. That puts more pressure on Alex Pearce in his comeback game.

 

[Deathly]

That's one way to make sure Johnson comes out next week.

 

[Deathly]

DPearce / Sutcliffe turnovers and momentum killing moments will be the difference.

 

[Purple Jesus]

WTF? Hamling dropped. That puts more pressure on Alex Pearce in his comeback game.

That feels like a mistake with their forward line, is he underdone?

 

[MadDocker]

Late out Johnson for Hamling. Lock it in.

I'm sure Ross will mention it in his pre-game interview.

 

[wild side]

Mmmm. Port team particularly strong.
Port by a fair few sadly !!

 

[Darcy 2 Fyfe]

One of the training watchers mentioned Johnson had a ot of strapping on his right leg?

 

[Cameron_K]

That port team on paper is the best in the league. I can’t see us getting with 10 goals

 

[Nickos66]

Not that they're in any way linked position-wise, it's wierd to see Danyle Pearce & Sutcliffe get games and Joel Hamling not.

 

[Rion]

Melting a little here. AP in his first game back in 2 years is forced to head a defence that with Sutcliffe, DP and Johnson in there will offer up its fair share of brain farts. Wilson's first game with us as well. Hamling was one of our best last year...

The fact that by the end of the season 3/6 of our round 1 starting defence 100% won't even be there is a little disconcerting.

 

[Deathly]

Blakely being wasted down back and Sutcliffe playing makes the Hamling omission more annoying than it should be. Hopefully MadDocker is right.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Mitch Crowden named as an emergency is sending the kid a strong message....well done, so early.

Joel Hamling seemed to train fine this morning. I saw nothing to suggest he was doubtful.

 

[StingBitten]

No D. Pearce melts?

Thought Logue, Grey, Hughes or even Sheridan might have been ahead of him?

 

[Purple Jesus]

He’ll come in for Jonno surely...

[StingBitten]

We seem to have a lot of new talent coming into the side, but geez we sill have a bit of deadwood.

 

[Deathly]

He gets a lot of s**t (from me too) but he's earnt his Round 1 selection because of his preseason. Unlikely he'll earn his Round 2 spot.

 

[wayToGo_]

Port have gone in very tall - Marshall and Dougall on the bench. Can only assume we're intending to pile on the pressure and beat them with run.

 

[salim malik]

He’ll come in for Jonno surely...

Did Hamling travel? Said he was a non travelling emergency on the club site.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Danyle trained strongly.
Logue didn't train; Hughes did and looked good.

 

[Taylor]

Sutcliffe with a contract extending 30 touches, 12 score involvements to 3QT, heavily tagged in the fourth and Langdon kicks three to put us over the top.
