Review Round 18 - Port Adelaide @ PF Stadium - 14th July 2024 - 1:10pm AEST

[Southern Sun]

Wouldn't be surprised if sexton is an out this week, some of his defensive efforts were well below required level. Maybe budarick gets another chance.

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

have you guys tagged a mid this season? what are the chances that one of our mids cop a tag?

No Ken, we haven’t. Highly unlikely. You’re welcome.

 

[Rash]

No Ken, we haven’t. Highly unlikely. You’re welcome.

should be a good game, it will be won in the midfield i think.

 

[SUN OF A GUN]

Hearing Jed had teeth knocked out at training and young Jake Rogers has picked up a knee injury.

Hoping they are not out for weeks…

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

Rosas is in. Reckon it’ll be Davies in for Touk.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Really important game to win the clearances. Hopefully can break out drought and finals still on

 

[TheGoldPersons]

Suns at home vs Port Adelaide

The irresistible force meets the immovable object

 

[Southern Sun]

My guess,
Walter>day
Rosas> miller
Budarick > sexton
Johnstone> berry
Humphrey in 22
Davies( sub) > swallow.

Would be a super young team but can't carry the dead wood any longer.

 

[Jirik13]

The youngest line-up of the season - 71 average games. Let's see how interchange will look. At the moment, 13 players less than 50 games.

 

[lommy]

I actually think the team is so in its own head that we win and win well on Sunday…

Not surprised, they are a part of the 20%. We are going to field a super young side Sunday, could be a sink or swim situation.

 

[KaySwizzle]

I still think Swallow is better than Holman. And Berry will be lucky to hold a spot too. But can only play so many of that type, so someone has to go.

Rosas is an upgrade on any of them, easily.

 

[Southern Sun]

Bit of talk that Houston could be an out for port. Good news if true. Feel like we match up ok either end but it's the middle that scares me a little bit, hoping Rowell goes into beast mode and drags us over the line

My guess,
Walter>day
Rosas> miller
Budarick > sexton
Johnstone> berry
Humphrey in 22

Hate to say I told you so, but...

Got the same amount under 20 as 26+

 

[Jirik13]

Yeah, we are insanely young. 60 average games. 23 years and 3 months average age. 12 players < 50 games. It will be miracle if we win. No team came close this year including North.

Good for future though

 

[Young_Guns]

Don’t mind the changes at all. All like for like. Can’t lose to 18th and expect no response.

Rosas, Johnston, Walter instantly improves our forward half pressure, which was non-existent last week and actually makes us quite exciting up there and gives us players who can actually win the ball at ground level and kick a goal when our mids continually tumble it in.

Only surprise is Budarick back, but I expect Hardwick is seeing if he has worked on what was asked of him, prior to Weller coming back in.

We did cause 32 forward turnovers last week as Dimma pointed out

[sunsofanarchy]

We needed to spin the magnets and we have. If we can't win away this season we might as well get games into the kids. Really exciting changes, plenty to prove

 

[eppo67]

More changes so far this year than Dew made in his entire tenure.
Do people forget losing by 80 points for one change.
The 2 losses have been less than a goal and the axe is out.
And don't go on about North Melbourne they should have beaten Melbourne and Collingwood in the 2 weeks before our 4 point loss.
