Preview Changes & Preview Round 17 - Ports vs Dogs @ Adelaide Oval

[Willsy10]

If Rioli and Burgoyne come in, it will be interesting to see who drops out.

Narkle did ok, Lorenz I'd give another go as sub (can play reduced mins in the SANFL a day later).

Jones to me should be out. Boak I've got on thin ice. Farrell needs to defend better.

Don't think Visentini fits since Sweet did a good job this week, and I'm not sure they'd drop Lord or Marshall to play 2 rucks.

I wasn’t a fan of a debutant being a sub, it’s a shit way to debut. I think he should either get a proper go at it this weekend or not at all. And that probably hinges on whether Jase gets up, but surely he needs another week as it’s only been 1 week with that hammy.

Would be very harsh to drop Narkle for Rioli but I can see that happening. Probably should be boak or dbj though, as Narkle at least gave us a scoring threat.

Unless it’s simply jones out for Rioli but not sure a back out for a small forward works, or we could just put dbj down back.

Rioli Is the player we have missed the most, just him buzzing around up forward makes us a better side.

It's pretty cool a 29 year old pot head is our most important forward after all these years.

He’s definitely a very good small forward who has done well since coming to Port.

If that was the case, he should've been able to make English look poor in training and push him out of the Dogs side. More likely that Sweet is the sort of ruckman that English plays really well against.

Yes. I've a suspicion the Bulldogs knowing more about Sweet is going to be more telling than Sweet knowing more about the Bulldogs.

That said English is copping it for his lack of aggression over there. Wants to stay at the Dogs but the Dogs don't want to pay the kind of money West Coast or others are offering.


I think Dante has turned the corner physically and what he lacks in experience against English he would make up for in aggression.

Dante if it was my job I was trying to save would be my call against English.

I've no problem with Ken going with Sweet.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Have we lost yet

 

[Capital Power]

Have we lost yet

If by "we" you mean members and supporters, then yes.

Surprising, even this week I give us a big chance.
The dogs beat Norf by 17 points, if we beat Norf by that the piss blasters pants would be saturated.

Norf are much improved on their earlier season piss. They very nearly beat collingwood and played probably their best footy since Ben brown kicked 10

hinkly is many a coaches bunny.
I think Beverage is one of those coaches!

Port have beaten us the last 3 times

We're not convinced.


Put a rocket under English or tell him Sweet is coming back.

English has always been timid in the ruck. That's not going to change now

 

[JimmyBC]

We've got this.

 

[Doggy]

We've got this.

All Kenny needs for a good pep talk is a good can of coke.

 

[Watto71]

Even if we lose they won't dump daddy doughnuts.
We might have to wait until we lose to the Sun's for the first time at their home base

 

[drcollossimo]

We've got this.

Wait not sure if SRS Jimmy ….

Doggy, hypothetical for ya Hinks for Bevo would you do that trade ?!

Because honestly I would and I’d do it in a heartbeat

More chance at the start of the year but the dogs have been playing a lot of kids and the club did say it would take until the second half of the year. Looking a little better now and looking okay for next year.

So probably not now.

It wouldn’t make a rats arse difference, if we played north tomorrow and won by 17 points it would be a total shyt performance according to this board.
You know that as well as I do.
Dogs form is either very good or very shyt.
This is a 50/50 game

And they'd be right.

 

[MALTSY]

I'd rather give Hinkley a 10 year extension.

That’s just sick

 

[MALTSY]

I wouldn't. He's supremely talented, and an enigma - I just hate the shrugging/ducking/playing for free kicks.

Lots of players do it, I just feel he's one of them that takes it too far.

Not fussed. Gets the job done. Love him

That’s nice,there’s a lot of sides in the bunch that could play finals but are only making up the numbers.
Dogs are in that bunch, when they play a side also in that group it’s a 50/50 game.
Yep you beat Freo in Melbourne and they beat you in Perth.

I love how "they" emphasise the "outside noise" when talking about us as fans.
