Preview Round 13 Changes & Pre-Match Discussion vs Western Bulldogs at Marvel

[El_Scorcho]

I have to assume Burton is being given a half off as a rest. Not a bad player to be the sub.

Other changes make sense, although I think Bonner has probably been good enough to keep his place over Sinn. I guess we'll see how Sinn plays, he's clearly very highly rated and I have to support getting talented kids into the side and getting games into them.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Burtons knee is also stuffed.

 

[Macca19]

Burton out is nuts. Artie Jones to kick 6

 

[Malibu#27]

Burton does not deserve to be dropped at all, wtf. Sinn also should not be in the 22 yet.

I like Burton a lot, but it doesnt surprise me. He has had quite a few goals kicked on him recently.

I wouldnt have thought Sinn was a first 22 as yet either - maybe its just giviung Burton a kick up the bum and he plays as sub.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Aliir has to go to Lobb, McKenzie most likely to Naughton, I think they will play Jones on Ugle-Hagan as he has played on tall forwards in the sanfl. Will probably try to match his athleticism more than his height.

Classic Bassettball.

 

[Jonts]

Burtons knee is also stuffed.

According to?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Well that's fair enough, because we have never ever played anyone a little bit down on form.

Theyve been playing Lobb quite high
Even on the wing

Think thats the Bergman/Jones match up

Allir to Naughton

McKenzie to JUH

 

[Jonts]

Also go Dylan Williams

First keeping the captain out and now Burton
No one saw this coming
Stoked for him

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

According to?

Ryan Burton.

 

[Janus]

"What did you like of what you saw of Sinn last week?"

"I think he's got power and speed that (you need to) play AFL football. Jones is the same. I think across the team now we'd be quite quick, and that's something we as a coaching group like, we like to have speed on the floor."

 

[Buget]

In before someone says Pasini.

Probably not this week.

 

[bomberclifford]

"We've been pretty consistent that we'll base selection on performance."

Unless, of course, it's a ruckman.

 

[davesnothere]

After last weeks final quarter fade out our sub really needs to be someone who can go in the middle and can get hand to ball at the centre bounce.

6-6-6 stops us getting numbers back and stopping momentum. We don't stop them in the middle then we just don't stop them.

 

[MrMeaner]

"We've been pretty consistent that we'll base selection on performance."

Unless, of course, it's a ruckman.

And, until the last couple of weeks, if the player down on form is the captain.

 

[chachi11]

Burton doesn't deserve to be dropped, crazy.

 

[Jonts]

"We've been pretty consistent that we'll base selection on performance."

Unless, of course, it's a ruckman.

They value speed on ground and having a ruck that can be an extra midfielder

Hayes shouldve left the club already cause the current regime dont rate his weaknesses at all

 

[Windy Cindy]

Was definitely responsible for Breust on a number of occasions where he kicked or set up goals.

He’s one of my absolute favourites but I was pretty disappointed in how he got torn to shreds last week

There's the answer I guess.

I'm disappointed he was dropped as we are a better side with him in it, but i like the ruthlessness now at our selection committee. Its been flipped on its head from the gold pass days, astounding.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Burton is a surprise even though he has been well below his best over the last month. What concerns me more is bringing in two players (Boak & Dixon) who have missed a fair chunk of footy who will struggle to run out the game. Big risk IMO.

FREE KICKS: Port Adelaide remains in negative territory with a -31 differential this season. The Western Bulldogs are most-favoured with free kicks with a +94 differential.

will most probably take the tactical substitute role from Sinn who is in line for this third AFL game after a horror start with injury.

"He has not had an opportunity (by injury) and we have given Josh a great chance this year," Hinkley said. "Our conditioning team and medical staff have done a great job to get Josh to a spot where we think he has a clear run at it. He makes us potentially a much, much better team. He has power and speed. We like to have speed on the floor. But Josh has a long way to go."

I like the idea of getting Sinn in though.

They have obviously identified him as someone with a high ceiling and know that if they can get him to it quicker he could be a difference maker at the end of the year vs someone like Bonner who is a known quantity.

Well that's fair enough, because we have never ever played anyone a little bit down on form.

2 of Jones, Burton and Bergman in defence seems about right.

With Sinn on a wing, one of them probably had to go.

I cant argue that point - it would be awesome for our list moving forward if Sinn comes in and ifind his feet
