Preview Changes & Preview for Semi Final 2 vs Hawthorn @AO

[Windy Cindy]

The gameplan with this many talls shouldn't be to lock it in the forward half, rather force and pressure the Hawks into making mistakes through the midfield/defence and burn them on the counter.

Rat and Marshall are mobile enough to apply pressure with the ball coming out. Stick to that mid press and it will be up to the Hawks to bring their skills and A game under finals pressure.

Rat, Marshall and Dixon can’t or won’t chase

Jury is out on dbj chasing hard

Burn them on the counter? That’s the hawks game plan not ours.. ours is bomb it on Charlie’s head and then watch it disappear down the other end

Did you miss Thursday night?

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

That forward line looks very slow. Good for repeat f50 entries because it will come flying out as soon as it goes in.

Dwayne Russell on SEN told me, not a hope in hell will Ken Hinkley use Ginnivans cocky remarks, to Grundy, totally dismissing Port, for motivation, said he cant be that desperate. Not sure bout that, if i were ken an port, id be seething over their cockiness.

You missed a comma

Don't ever discount the hinkley cockroach factor

RIP Jedtember

 

[Schulzenfest]

Don't ever discount the hinkley cockroach factor

Yeah, this. I actually think we'll win. If there's one thing that's held true the last couple of years, it's that every time we reach a tipping point where one more loss might finally be the end of Hinkley, we win.

Won the Premiership last season, smart arse, 16 flags aint too bad sunshine.

Lol 16 flags?? Counting flags from a bygone era now are we??

If that's the case, try 37 on for size big boy

 

[Us against the rest]

Yeah, this. I actually think we'll win. If there's one thing that's held true the last couple of years, it's that every time we reach a tipping point where one more loss might finally be the end of Hinkley, we win.

I'm with you, I think we will win too just because.

 

[gbear]

Selections = lol

 

[FishingRick04]

I think we’ll win

 

[SureBuddy]

Burgoyne and Weddle on a wing together…. Yeeeeeeeee I can see how this one is going to go!
Exact same as the gameplan of playing through his wing last week via Dempsey, the same will be implemented here.

 

[RangaInTeal]

I could be more confident last week with our 22 vs Geelong. This week I couldn’t be more insecure with our 22…

It's 1/2 way warranted while we've thrown in some hale mary picks

all we've got is emotion filled desperation n individual brilliance, against a slick n well oiled machine.

Sprinkles is gunna struggle

 

[JimmyBC]

I think we’ll win

Probably and get smashed the following week. All about our midfield if they have an on night they can slay anyone although we haven't seen it much at this time of year.

 

[Flash of power]

Who knows if that is a good line up, who knows if we win by 60 or lose by 100, I know nothing about what this team will bring on any given day anymore regardless of who plays or what stupid coaching decisions will be made, but I hope like hell that JHF starts in the midfield and at least gives us a good start.

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

Here we go again.... The car crash I simply cannot look away from. I go to look away but then remember it's probably the last car crash for the year so for old times sake let's punch the ticket....

 

[Portmagpies36]

Don't know why there is whining about selections. We are scraping the bottom of the barrel folks. Depth is pathetic

Losing Houston and Farrell, that side looks soooo much worse. Depth being exposed for what it is.

 

[Portmagpies36]

In: Marshall and Sinn, could it possibly be more uninspiring.

 

[Interstater]

I'm looking forward to the fights after Sicily tries to run through Butters.
Will be on like Donkey Kong.

Hope Dixon throws someone over the fence.
Shame we don't still have the pickets.

Disappointed we couldn't find a way to play Sam Gray

for this game.

 

[Gryllis]

Overally tall and slow team feels like it's playing into Hawthorn's hands and doesn't suit our gameplan, but that doesn't really matter since it's rubbish in finals anyway.

Still a better finals line-up than the McEntee-Evans-Narkle forwardline though.

 

[all seeing eye]

I think this is the best chance to beat them by going tall, ideally I'd like a extra small up forward, however the reality is our quality of smalls is very poor aside from rioli.

RIP Jedtember

You must be totally heartbroken.
My condolences.

 

[MrChow]

Hmmm. Rat back. Zone defence staying deep with all 6 defenders evenly spread through the back 50 for the whole game. And no chasing the hawks up and back the field into and out of their stupid nest.

 

[240volt]

In: Marshall and Sinn, could it possibly be more uninspiring.

Who would have you brought in?
