Put jones in the forward line to tag sicily.

watching him on firday night in the first half, he was exceptional.

I'd give that job to big sav

Does Sav even have the footy IQ to tag Sicily? Sav would be too focused on trying to mark the ball instead of shutting Sicily out of the game.

Not a chance he should get a role like that but knowing our numbskull coach he would probably go with it.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Absolutely no way am I missing Port Adelaide play next weekend, its a massive game no matter what you think of the club.

For anyone that hasnt been keeping up with the schedule, we're playing on Saturday night at Alberton vs the Dockers. Cant wait.

His best traits in the forward line are his defensive efforts and ability to bring the ball to ground. I'd instruct him to stick with Sicily but have a crack at the ball when it's within marking distance

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Ah yes, the tall forward tagger. Another genius tactical move employed by the brilliant mind of Hinkley. Trengove crawled so Ratugolea could run.

is out.

 

[theouthouse]

Tag an intercept defender with another tall?

Geez I've heard some baffling things before but that's a master-stroke.

Big bodied talls should be smashing into intercept defenders with speed and knees at every opportunity. Midfielders sit the ball on the interceptors head and the big forwards smash into them.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We all know McEntee will get the job on Sicily.

And we all know how it will end.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

With Sicily in tears and retiring knowing there is no way he will ever get over the day he got cheesed?

 

[Janey]

Sam Frost is out.

Come back to us when the list is about ten players long.

 

[PJ Power]

I think he’s tried that once and didn’t make it. The injury happened in the Freo game and 2 weeks rest before the Geelong game didn’t seem to be enough. If you rewatch the last 10-15 mins of the second quarter he can’t run, at one stage he’s squatting in the middle of the ground in pain - amazed the commentators didn’t pick up on it.

I don't think he'll come up, and if he does, it won't be the same Butters we've been used to. Maybe, we deploy him to the forward line and keep him out of the midfield, but I can't see us getting enough ball forward without him around stoppages.

 

[Portmagpies36]

This is because of the high press where our midfielders are either close or inside fwd 50 when we don't have the ball in an attempt to lock it in. All Geelong had to do was beat that first layer by running it out with hand. It then creates the "space" that Chris Scott was talking about pre-game for them to attack.

Port across the season have been one of the worst inside their own def 50 when the ball hits the deck. So if they don't clean it up in air, at ground level we are slow to react. Add to the fact that we had DBJ there who has not been in that role for a while, it makes sense how the Geelong small forwards to us to the cleaners.

Blind Freddy knows why it happened but they didn’t change it in 120 minutes of football!!!

 

[Portmagpies36]

The issues were the midfield. Defence held up alright but the other issue was getting it out of defence. DJB no good... missing players who actually run on for receiving plays and great field kicks especially to corridor ruins the play out unfortunately. Burton is good but he lacks confidence to kick smart to targets and procrastinated to slow... that's why both Houston & Farrell were ideal. They just go for it and hit the targets... yeah they've made bad calls/kicks prior but mostly good. Also helps if team mates actually lead and present. One thing I hated about the Gold Coast game. Nobody did ANYTHING... up forward and back.

Houston and Farrell are massive outs, they cut teams up with their disposal DBJ could not hit a barn door.
Lose the midfield your finished.

[TylerDurden]

Surely Ken keeps Charlie in now that Frost has gone down. We simply can't cover him.

Also, Charlie did a job on Meek in the ruck last time we played, during your comeback. Played well.

Fckn turn it up. We could be playing in an AFLW gf and I’d still watch a AFL nab challenge match ahead of that crap.

Charlie would have trouble running after a drunk overweight boomer at present I wouldn't worry about him.

Put us out of our misery. Cheers.

All you need to do to cover him is hide your time machine to make sure he doesn't go back to 2021.

Thanks mate this is legitimately the most I've laughed at a post on BigFooty this year so far

 

[pastmyprimus]

I’d put money on Dixon and McEntee holding their spots. Hinkley is that predictable

Is that you Ken?

 

[chiwigi]

Shame on anyone considering Todd Marshall. He should not be risking his long term health on this rubbish.

He should retire then.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Yeah, something tells me this won't be a sell out
