Preview Changes & Preview Thread versus the clowns

[TazD]

Youth nearly won us that game so on that basis we should go wines and boak out, Jackson and Sinn in.

 

[TazD]

Hayes is a squib. Simple as that.

Teakle I know what I have and I can work with it.

Teakle will stay on the ground and compete.

JHF looked as good roving to Collingwoods ruck as he did to Ports ruck in the final quarter it doesn't matter to him. Hayes is literally an oxygen thief at afl level I don't trust him to stay out there when he's needed.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Teakle is simply a decent WAFL level ruck.

Probably 3-4 years away from AFL level, if he can get there.

I've trained a few race horses and I've had a few that can run times over 400 metres that can turn your head but try as much as you like using every technique and every method of training available you can not turn that 400 metres into something you can use at the end of 1200 or 1600 metres.

Sam Hayes has reached the limit of his athletic ablity to run out a game. For the time that he has been on our list as a professional athlete the absolute least of his concerns should be his ability to run out 120 minutes of afl football.

Had Hayes played last night he would have been in the RAH on oxygen at half time.

Sam Hayes is a nice guy and it's not personal but as someone who sees his athletic ablity for what it is we need another ruck.

He would be 28 then lol

[raptalia]

Regardless as to who plays well for the Port Magpies today Jed McEntee must go he is simply not up to AFL footy. I am not sure if Ken sees something that most of us cannot see in this guy or is he just trying to prove some obscure point.

One of the most puzzling questions in the Hinkley era has to be, why did we give McEntee another two years? There does not appear to be any sense to it.

We will never win a Premiership with a spud like McEntee in the side. I do not really mind who comes in but McEntee has to go.

 

[raptalia]

Teakle was only a pinch hit WAFL ruck lol

Yes, Teakle is another on our list who is not up to AFL footy. Injured or otherwise Scott Lycett is our only viable ruck option. Visentini is not ready, Teakle will never be ready and Sam Hayes has gone backward thanks our lack of perseverance in 2022.

Teakle will never be a number 1 ruck so if it was me I'd at least play him to his strengths in the SANFL.

Forward/chop out & if that goes nowhere throw him back.

I'm just over this trying to turn athletes into rucks thing, especially if they are as dumb as dogshit.

 

[Nelso]

Hayes is a squib. Simple as that.

Teakle I know what I have and I can work with it.

Teakle will stay on the ground and compete.

JHF looked as good roving to Collingwoods ruck as he did to Ports ruck in the final quarter it doesn't matter to him. Hayes is literally an oxygen thief at afl level I don't trust him to stay out there when he's needed.

Is this the same Teakle who "competed" and got torn apart by Bailey Williams?

 

[davesnothere]

Obrien against GWS played 103 minutes got to 105 ruck contests and 44 hit outs.

Against the Bombers the week before 112 minutes 98 ruck contests and 40 hit outs.

Crows lost both games.

Would expect a similar outcome against us with Teakle in the ruck.

All Teakle has to do is get to the contest and compete. What Obrien brings to the table isn't our biggest concern if our midfield does what it is supposed to do.

Teakle is the worst player to ever pull on a Power guernsey, and your football knowledge is on par with his football ability.

 

[Nemisis]

Out: Evans, Rioli, Farrell. Mac
In: dbj, Fanta, Bonner, Dumont
Sub: Ollie

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I do wonder if we could play two genuine ruckmen, Collingwood do it and neither is used much as a forward.

 

[Coobk001]

Finally saw the Rioli thing.

Can't believe that is suspendable. A light, open handed, slap/scratching motion to the neck area under the ear. Nowhere near a hard hit.

100% should've been a free, but geez anything more than that would be such ridiculous, soft shit.

He's going to cop something you just know he will, but it's crazy that our game is that soft. First we cop the ridiculous Jonas suspension, now this Rioli one.

 

[Coobk001]

Marshall and Finlayson suddenly kicking straight against the Crows would legitimately piss me off.

I just cannot stand losers

Would love to see some stats on Marshall's set shots of late. Someone said his miss in the 3rd was a 1/100 type thing. It wasn't, he's been missing the easy ones all year. No doubt he's threading some amazing goals, but Marshall has been missing sitters all year. Combine that with Finlayson who is generally a terrible set shot and then Dixon and these sort of losses on the back of missed set shots we're always going to happen at some stage.

 

[JUSTWORK]

I do wonder if we could play two genuine ruckmen, Collingwood do it and neither is used much as a forward.

Sure, but it means not playing one of Dixon, Marshall and Finlayson

We should argue A) Insufficient force to warrant a suspension and B) had the umpire done his job and awarded Willie a free for holding on, it never would have happened.

 

[Coobk001]

It'll probably be DBJ for Rioli and that's it, unless Dixon or someone else doesn't get up.

Fantasia is a ridiculous suggestion. Things are going badly but they're not going that badly.

Fantasia could be a legitimate sub option soon. Comes on, zips around, kicks a couple. Potentially if he can stay fit it could be a good option.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Sure, but it means not playing one of Dixon, Marshall and Finlayson

If we played a ruck instead of McEntee say, would you notice the difference?

 

[JUSTWORK]

If we played a ruck instead of McEntee say, would you notice the difference?

Im by not stretch a fan of picking someone on the simply on the basis of them applying "pressure' but id say it makes us quite a bit slower across half forward and allows the opposition easy transition out of their back half.

DJB takes McEntee's spot and Fantasia takes Evans. If you want to play a second ruck, (say Visiniti) it's at the expense of one of Marshall, Finlayson or Dixon.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Id honestly play Jonas in ruck over Teakle. Would hurt people, has strength, could get to contests.

 

[JimmyBC]

I'd play Jonas in ruck for Norwood.

 

[Ports1870]

DBJ for Rioli
Williams for Boak (Bergman can play a bit higher if needed)
Fantasia for McEntee
