Preview Round 2, 2025 Preview & Changes vs Richmond at Adelaide Oval

[Scodges]

Burton can play tall back, he should generally be playing 3rd tall. We're only 1 short, but Richmond have not got much height down there anyway so I think for 1 week its not that big of a deal.

We still need to give Rat AFLgame time, not throw him to the wolves half baked.

What's actually wrong with Lord? Victoria is chomping at the bit for him? We could have traded him last year at such high value

Hinkley won’t and can’t develop talls. He feels threatened by their height, small man syndrome maybe.

After a 15 goal loss this is surely a joke with only 1 change.

I could live with one change if it was the coach.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

One unforced change after a 91 point drubbing tells me we have the depth of a kiddies pool.

High value like we got for Dan, come on this is Port your talking about.

 

[FutureShock]

My god...that defensive line-up is going to make Richmond's no name forward line look like world beaters. This could be rather embarrassing.

Previous to last year's brain fade by Cripps we've been able to see some value come back into the club

We've seen it before.

That's been apparent for some years now.
We get a couple of injuries and the arse falls out.

Ratugolea.

 

[Willsy10]

To replace him with Burton on-field will be just as bad imo

I don’t think Burton’s body language, attitude and overall effort is as questionable as finlaysons.

So is it just the one change after that 91 point flogging? Lol

We have done this before and rebounded. There should be more changes, for sure, but that's not how Hinkley works. It's not surprising.

What's the bet we've pivoted already to a "play the kids" year because we think that makes us impervious to criticism.

The Ken fan club will say it's not Hinkley's fault, he was selflessly playing the youngsters.
Koch will say we did pretty well considering we had the xth youngest list this year.

Note: "kids" will include Rory Atkins getting a run of games and not include any young talls getting a run.

Kid Rory!

 

[JHF1870]

It'd be an overreaction if we made too many changes. Collingwood also got flogged in their first game and only made two changes (one forced).

A week is a long time in footy. Finlayson out is a positive and Moraes in over McEntee or Ratkins is also a popositive.

Best thing I've read in here of late. Too much negativity lately but this is spot on.

Playing Atkins or Mcentee over Moraes would be something we did last season. Good move.

 

[Mr Gor]

What a soft **** Hinkley is. One change is all the side needed apparently, and it wasn't even a like-for-like.

Can't wait to see Wines rucking again, Jones dropping more handball receives, no defensive structure, and a midfield that all plays the same way

Amazing coaching decions by the great man

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I don't have a problem with the ins and those who stay in the team.

I would prefer younglings building confidence in their game so when we Start the Carr, he knows what we have.

Our backline is a tad weak and we are lucky that Lynch is out.

 

[PowerLil]

Yeah. Having Wines as back up ruck worked so well last week

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Visentini should get a game too.

 

[Us against the rest]

Ollie Lord may as well see where his best opportunities are in Victoria, another tall Hinkley will destroy.

Ryan Burton will be a ****ing wall tomorrow, mark my words.️

 

[rogerjames]

People don’t realise how amazing his Brownlow year was.

He was excellent that year. Unfortunately his form since has generally been only serviceable. His disposal, particulatly by foot, is a real problem.

Brave Kenny selflessly sacrificing his personal standing in the game to set us up for the future by playing the kids. What a guy!
