Preview 2024 Semi Final : Port v Hawks, AO 7:10pm Friday 13th Sept

[Ka Norkers]

if Dixon retains his spot, you could play Watson on him and he still won't get a kick.
Phillips isn't up to it, despite being more like Frost as a player. They will bring in Serong, he'll take Marshall and then Amartey the following week. A huge ask, but what has happened to Frostie is exactly why Sam chased Barrass across the country.
If we do, hypothetically, get to the grand final, that's when the absence of Frost will really bite us, but probably not before.
He looked absolutely banged-up coming off in the last quarter, so not a huge surprise.
Like the amazing Josh Ward, I'm tipping Jai to grab his opportunity with both hands.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Feel like you have to reward form. Serong for me. Dixon is a non issue, just don't wrestle with him and you'll be right.

 

[Wingnut19]

Changed my mind already. Has to be Phillips more I think about it. Most similar to Frost. Phillips doesn’t have great foot skills but that doesn’t matter as either did Frost. What a opportunity for him.

 

[mustang]

Putting a positive spin on it at least Phillips gives us more height in the backline.

 

[Wingnut19]

What’s the height difference between CJ and Serong? Surely if it’s Serong we just bring in CJ

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Geelong did just beat them with their tallest KPD being 193cm FYI.

???

If the choice is Easy or CJ, it’s Easy for me.
Why rob Weddle from the game plan and replace with fumbles and shithouse loopy handballs.
When there’s a descent frost replacement waiting at bhh.

Plays 3 games of his life and we win the GF he may be this years Brandon Ryan, in trade period for a club that wants a KD.

It won’t be Serong

 

[Hrvat Hawks]

I would doubt Phillips come in. Hasn't been an emergency for as long as I can remember. Serong will come in

 

[Ka Norkers]

in AFL/VFL history, no side with two Jai's in it has ever lost a grand final.

Serong is better than CJ, and they both play very different roles.

 

[peetoo]

Another Clarko ‘soldier’ down. Let’s hope frosty is the only one.

Sucks that it’s season over for him. Been excellent

 

[Slow Hand]

Frost has had an excellent season and I am disappointed for him. I think we still win Friday - this backline has functioned as a unit covering talls this season with great success. Serong will come in and show us why he is rated so highly internally.

Fair, serong is 193 and Phillips is 197. Can see them bringing Marshall and possibly Lord this week tho

[TylerDurden]

Does Day come in and play half back for the rest of the finals series now?

 

[Walshawk]

Dixon and Ratogolea were useless v Cats. One would have been dropped but they will play three talls (also Georgiadis) again.
Serong has to play. He has been in good form.
V Swans we might not need Serong. Hopefully Day is ready by then.

 

[Walshawk]

Does Day come in and play half back for the rest of the finals series now?

He won’t be ready for this week.

 

[user33]

Does Day come in and play half back for the rest of the finals series now?

I hope we replace Frost with Serong or Phillips though, we see how it let’s both Scrim and Sicily dominate

Prelim mate. Still can't do contact training yet. Phillips straight in.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

Spot on. We cannot play a half-fit panic merchant.

Devastated for Frosty. Terrible news.

 

[mustang]

A Question for Box Hill watchers could McCabe debut in a final or he a long way off it, as Phillips has only played one AFL game if I'm not mistaken, so they aren't that different in games played.

a certainty, with this news they'll think about Lord to stretch our backline. Hopefully soft-hearted Ken will pick Charlie again, although I doubt it. Georiardes is their most potent key forward, and Scrimma will get him, Serong gets Marshall.

 

[barbster]

I’d probably bring both Phillips and Serong in. Phillips played well last time with 100% DE and has the much needed height, Serong has some form.
