Preview Round 10, 2024 : Port v Hawthorn, 3:20pm Sun 19th May, AO

[cryptor]

They ****ed up by playing him against Adelaide, you'd think they would learn their lesson.

Yeah they/Hinkley copped a lot of crap for risking him. They’d all want to be certain.

Chol and Sicily for Gunston (likely Dear though) and Scrimshaw. Breust remains sub. Seems simple enough.

Lewis on the longest short term injury in the game's history at this point

I kinda hope CJ isn't risked. He's been on a torrid injury run, and there's not point to rushing him while he's still a young guy. Better to just let him ease back into the game rather than throw him into the fire.

I'd just hate him to get injured again with another soft-tissue issue.

This except Jiath would be a chance, other than this. Simple.

I'd hope Ward comes into the side somehow, most likely Maginess would make way for him.

If CJ comes into the side then it should be as the sub. Don't want us to throw him into the deep end too early given the injury issues.

Box Hill bye would lean me to putting CJ in the side and subbing him out rather than coming on colder as sub, for a quarter or two.

Ward must come in soon, he is far too good for Box Hill. But I’d give him 1-2 weeks.

 

[threesixpio]

CJ has played three quarters of a VFL game coming off hamstring and calf issues so I would be amazed if we played him. Patience is required as he gets to full fitness.

Phillips may be an option but I wonder if BMac has come into consideration. Gives us some rebound off the HBF. His Box Hill form hasn't been that great though.

….sub….?

 

[matey]

Lewis is a worry.

I watched his VFL game and he was not holding back. I doubt there is any greater risk of injury playing AFL than they way he goes about it at the lower level.

Both are running machines but Maginness has a mature body and can play a physical game that Ward is not ready for. Maginness is having a good year and offers more vs Port than Ward.

Fair enough.

I'll back the match committee. They know more than I do.

Maginess has to go to Houston.

Port generate a lot of run through Houston, and he's a brilliant kick.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Lewis! Short term for 7 weeks and counting.

 

[DogDaySonny]

[barbster]

In - Sicily, CJ, Chol
Out - Scrimshaw, Mackenzie, MacDonald

No way they drop those 2.
Reckon Finn could be on the block. Probably Seamus or Serong.

 

[KermitJagger]

Shame about Lewis, getting remarkably close to being one of the great modern "What ifs"

 

[Hawker1167]

Lewis! Short term for 7 weeks and counting.

At this rate Blanck will be back before Lewis - must be bloody frustrating for him though

 

[Cleavy]

at this point, almost tempted to send for the surgeon and get his knee right.

 

[Snakelilbandit]

Could DGB come in?

Not based on the game I watched him play at wonthaggi on Sunday, had a mare. CJ on the other hand, looked SHARP on the wing!

Spot on, but knowing us, we will rehab it for 6 weeks and then decide to put him in for surgery.

 

[kenneje]

Have been playing around with potential lineups.

Tell you what, it’s getting harder and harder each week!

An omission to any of the below three is rough, but its a good problem to have.

IN: Sicily, Chol, CJ (sub)
OUT: Maginness, Scrimshaw, Mitchell

FB: Serong - Frost - Weddle
HB: Impey - Sicily - Amon

MF: Meek - Worpel - Nash
MF: Day - Newcombe - Moore

HF: Hardwick - Dear - Ginnivan
FF: Gunston - Chol - Watson

INT: MacDonald - Breust - D’Ambrosio - Mackenzie
SUB: CJ
