Preview Changes and Preview Brisbane vs Ports @ Gabba, qualifying final thread

[gbear]

Kind of lame and unprofessional of Chad to leak this s**t to his brother for clicks in the finals though.

What is the priority?

Protecting chad’s job us the agenda here. Anyone but Hinkley would move Chadbro on.

 

[JimmyBC]

Was poor, will play next week anyway because Hinkley.

He wasn't poor today. I'm not a fan either but he was pretty good at times today.

Of all the weird names on our board, granny duurs is lovely has to be one of the most thought provoking.

Duursma?

The melts when McEntee holds his place lol

If Fantasia is to play McEntee is the only one who could drop out.
We need some extra scoring potential in finals.
Yeah it won’t happen.

I'd drop Evans.

 

[Winganeen]

How's the forecast, 26C and a chance of a shower, minimum of 16C.

Will be a bloody tough hit out and even tougher for whoever has to back it up.

 

[240volt]

I'd drop Evans.

Hard to drop a small forward who kicked 3 in his last game.

He's likely to do absolutely nothing I don't rate him at all.

 

[Willsy10]

McEntee isn’t getting dropped.

They dropped him after he kicked 4 in the Showdown (he later came back in after all of those players got sick) so they'll have no trouble dropping him after 3.

No, he isn't. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be.

Yeah, don't be understand the negativity here. Yeah we resigned ken early well let's wait and see how we go before completing losing our s**t maybe? Brisbane are easily beatable, we gotta beat good teams to win a Premiership so why can't we beat them at home? I see no reason why not.

Is it negativity, just because it doesn't align with delusion. Brisbane haven't lost at home this year and have demonstrated they have the wood on us. Spin it however you want, beating them will require an astonishing performance. I can see many, many reasons why we won't, and not many why we will. That's not negativity, that's realism.

My son pointed out to me today that this upcoming final at the Gabba is the first Port final we have missed together since the 2004 Grand Final ( I was o/s with work which broke his heart as an 8 year old - what a game to miss FFS).

Hopefully that's a sign.

 

[Coobk001]

He's likely to do absolutely nothing I don't rate him at all.

Its a harsh rating, he's performed well all year at SANFL level, has shown hardness, goal sense and ability to execute under pressure. He is no superstar, but he's a solid role player who is still young and has shown a truckload more than the similarly positioned McEntee. He could easily play a role for us for 3-4 years.

 

[Coobk001]

Im picking Evans before McEntee, but no way should Fantasia be picked. Sub is the best we should be looking at him for

 

[SC_Power]

What do people think of lycetts game today? He was better than last week but he was absolutely putrid last week. Does he make our team better than if Hayes was playing? I think he probably comes in but Hayes could've made it a difficult call with a better game last week

Midday through the 3rd quarter, we had 18 hit outs to advantage, to Centrals 3.
Is sanfl, but is enough for Lycett to come in I expect.

They won't drop McEntee, they may drop Evans and I'd be fine with it.

I won't deny Evans has goal sense but I think everything else is sub par, it was a 9 possession three goal game last week one of which was pure ass. I think Fantasia is capable of more against better opposition.

Lycett Derangement Syndrome

 

[Ports1870]

With Dixon probably not available, are we more likely to
A) Bring back Marshall In for Evans or McEntee and revert back to our 3 tall setup or
B) Bring Marshall in for Lord and play a small forward line with 4 of Evans, Fantasia, McEntee, DBJ and Rioli playing

Orazio has played a sum total of 3 games this year.
He only played 1 last year.

Are we really pinning our hopes on this guy?

Evans kicked more goals in his last game than Flabtasia has kicked in the last two years.

Pinning our hopes is a touch dramatic, one guy is just obviously a better player when fit.

Fantasia is the EXACT reason that we can use the sub rule properly.

Play him, he is quality. If he does ping a hamstring, then you sub out.

 

[all seeing eye]

4 sanfl games in a row for 11 goals with 2 bags of 4 goals. Its time to not play safe, he has to come in if we want to win at the Gabba.
