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

[dirty2]

Geez this board worships a spud but forgets club legend and sight impaired Daryl Poole.

Poole's a legend... But Johny "the future" butcher is king!

Where is El_Scorcho butcher magnum opus? Surely in final edits.

Anyone thinking of going to the game?

Yup - bought my flights last night, and will be going with REH to the game.

Good weekend to get up to Brissy and see the Broncos week one of the NRL finals as well.

 

[Steve Dore]

I didn't really follow footy that closely during that period.

Anyway...thanks

You followed it enough to join HumungousSherrin.

Blind faith has nothing to do with it, we are good enough to win the flag this year, that’s something I truly believe.
I don’t support the coach I support the team.
You should try it sometimes you might actually enjoy yourself.

The only “Team” Ken has led to 2 cut throat finals wins was in 2014 hes never done it any other time in 11 years

Thinking we will do that now whilst facing a team that hasn’t lost on its home ground all year is blind faith mate

I’ll bet you right here right now I’ll delete my BF account if we make the GF

9 wins 2 draws and 13 losses at the GABBA, not as bad as I thought it would be

 

[Steve Dore]

We have posters on here that are genuinely scared we might pinch a flag.

Who exactly are these people?

I've been saying for six or seven seasons that I don't believe Hinkley is the coach to take us to our next flag but that I am happy for Hinkley to prove me wrong. How's that been working out?

Keeping in mind Brisbane were a dogshit side for most of Hinkleys wins.

The AFL will do us no favours after concussion gate.. on the flip when has full breaks &/or extended breaks ever worked for mentally weak Hinkley sides.

meanwhile if ya a Culton playa stick ya fingas in them eyes....

The only chance we have of winning is if sutcliffe can keep neale quiet and drew starts on the bench. Oh i would also like the AFL to bring some MCG turf up to the GABBA so it is a bit more of a neutral venue.

Jed is going to **** their shit. Nothing surer.

Lachie Neale will terrorise us.

After what The Hornet did Rd1 they're going to terrorise him. On Sunday I thought he was going to really lose it and

I doubt this went unnoticed by Fagan n Co. Reckon they'll be in his face all game.

Jones is one of those players that if he goes on instinct ie no time to think he does ok.
Most of his errors occur when he’s in a position waiting for the ball to arrive or has the ball and has plenty of time before disposal.
When we are playing fast he looks much better.
I think he has improved though and I reckon he’ll continue to do so.

Hope i'm wrong but I see him as a real liability. Heart in the mouth stuff for me watching him. Can we win... doubt it.

We'd have to kick straight and need a big lift from quite a few after Sundays showing.

Older daughter asked if I thought we could win the flag and I said 20% maybe less.

In general no that’s decent

Now deduct the years when Brisbane weren’t West Coast bad see what that looks like

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

The biggest question going into this game is what to do with Dixon, McKenzie & Lycett? I’m risking one at most, but under no circumstance would I carry three underdone players into a taxing final.

I wouldn’t have Lycett if he was fit as a fiddle

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

The afl gives no ****s about most clubs except pretty much Carlton and Collingwood

 

[all seeing eye]

Kornes just ruled Dixon out for first final, on footy classified.

Against a team that was anchored in the bottom 4 for a lot of those years

I’ll be going up, though extremely frustrated with the airfares. Heading up with a few from Adelaide and meeting some members of the Victorian Supporters Group up there as well, just need to get the tickets tomorrow.

Do we automatically put a line through anyone that plays for the maggies this weekend

I had a document saved on my desktop from 2016 until I got a new PC at the start of this year. I ran out of steam giving it the effort it deserved.

Long story short Butcher's management was the canary in the coalmine and in retrospect the alarm bells should have been ringing in round 3, 2014 that Hinkley was a dumb idiot who couldn't coach.

Newsflash: We all think we're good enough to win the flag this year. The squad is more than enough to handle any of the other teams in the 8 home or away if they're at their best, as it has been every season for the last 8 years where we haven't won a knockout final.

I did do my best to enjoy myself during the 2013-2017 period and at the end of 2017 with most undeserved contract extension in league history, it became obvious that the coaching was a problem and obvious that the club didn't care enough to do anything about it.

Surely you've been watching Port Adelaide long enough to know how a champion Port Adelaide team behaves, and how a champion Port Adelaide coach behaves, and how a champion Port Adelaide administration behaves.

I'd hope Lycett is getting a run given they'll pick him.

 

[ep2018]

Despite finishing 3rd you were comfortably the second best side this season imo. You will beat Brisbane, beat Melbourne/Carlton in the PF and then a grand final against a side known to choke grand finals. If you win it all hopefully Carr is holding the cup at the end. He deserves that honour this season.
