Preview Changes & Pre-Match Discussion for Round 9 vs North Melbourne

[RossFC]

I wonder if we go with Evans to replace Rioli, or perhaps if Farrell is cleared, they move him forward.

 

[FishingRick04]

I’d suggest 30 seconds to take shot doesn’t help.

If a
Player is trying to settle and get the heart rate down, could be tough, what was Lloyd’s records? 2 minutes?

 

[Jason K]

We ask ourselves all the time why in an era where it’s more professional has goal kicking declined so much and the answer is staring us in the face.

The decline in goal kicking standards is a direct result of the 30 second rule.

IN Farrell, Dumont sub
OUT Rioli, Jonas

I don’t think that’s true.

While it probably has had some influence and responsibility..



The 30 rule was brought in 2006.

Set shot goal kicking had already declined by then.

In think the clock is a contributing factor

 

[Interstater]

I have a lot of respect for the North Melbourne Football Club.

No, sorry, I have to stop there....

Bahahahahahahaha

A VFL quality side that is only in the competition to make sure the Victorian teams have the majority of votes in the AFL.
They should have merged with Gold Coast when they had the chance.
Now they will have to merge into Tassie or go broke.
I wish we got to play them more often, percentage will be important this year.

They can boo all they like as long as Port win by 100+
They will be like a baby crying in its cot.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

.... perhaps if Farrell is cleared, they move him forward.

The club's injury list says "fractured cheekbone, test". I assume this is the procedure ....

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Out - Rioli, Jonas, Teakle
In - Evans, Sinn, Visentini

 

[Rising Power]

Whoever thought the Grand Final would be staged in Hobart during May? Oh, just Norf supporters.

 

[Bevoman]

We should not play Farrell and Bonner in the same team.
Both are lovely kicks who can not defend.

This game is going to be closer than people think.

 

[raptalia]

Rioli out for two weeks gives a chance to try a new face. Maybe Francis Evans gets a look in, we traded the guy in so we might as well look at him.

 

[Willsy10]

Evans for Rioli seems logical. This might be the only change.

Jonas probably should be dropped though, or they can just say he is too “sore”.

Farrell straight back in?

 

[El Zorro]

This game is going to be closer than people think.

Yes, I don't know where port supporters get the arrogance to think we are guaranteed to flog any team. We couldn't even flog west coast at home.

 

[Festerz]

Yes, I don't know where port supporters get the arrogance to think we are guaranteed to flog any team. We couldn't even flog west coast at home.

Who exactly are these arrogant Port supporters who think we are guaranteed to flog any team and what friggin alternative reality are they living in? Better still, give me the name of their supplier.

I go to every Port home game (except for showdowns) and a fair few away games and no one I know or sit next to at games ever thinks that we are a certainty in ANY game after the bitter disappointments over many years.

We hope to win is the best it ever gets unless you want to be regarded as a pest caller on lifeline.

 

[tangolikelama]

Just play Jonas and he can cop a year suspension flying the flag for JHF

 

[Jonts]

This game is going to be closer than people think.

Nah 30-50 pt win

 

[backtozero]

This game is going to be closer than people think.

So be bold and predict the margin.

I think 42.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Perfectly set up for a what happen power

 

[MALTSY]

Hopefully Evans will get a full game. He certainly brings rhe effort and appears to read the play well.

 

[Coobk001]

I actually don't think you need excessive goal kicking practise it just needs to be smart.

It's all mental. Everytime you kick a footy you are getting practice. I agree that you don't need to practice it heaps, just the establishment of a good routine and ensuring you're mentally equipped for it are all you really need to do.

What might need some practice are those set shot snaps from tight angles. Especially wrong foot snaps.

 

[Coobk001]

Yes, I don't know where port supporters get the arrogance to think we are guaranteed to flog any team. We couldn't even flog west coast at home.

It's probably more that we all realise we NEED to flog them, not that we will.

Our percentage is about 20 goals down on where it needs to be. No better time to boost it than against the worst team in the comp.

Need to win first though. Hopefully we can achieve both goals. A 10 goal win would be nice.

 

[Visenfest]

All this talk of flying the flag. No issue with the players sticking up for JHF, but within reason. North aren’t worth copping a suspension over.
