Preview Changes & Preview Round 18 - SUNS vs Ports @ PFS

[bringbackbucky]

Perfect week to buy Hinkley and Dixon a one-way ticket....

 

[Willsy10]

Get King Charlie in.

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Get King Charlie in.

I’d rather we play one of Wang Wang or Fu Ni to put a jumper on and play up forward then gang member of the Port supporter hate syndicate Charlie Dixon.

 

[TazD]

Dixon lol. Rather play a man short.

 

[VineValerian]

Are you implying that the AFL MRO will change its guidelines based on the player?

Good call.

 

[Lefti93]

Kane Cornes premiership medal out, Jarrad Poulton premiership medal in.

Stuey Cochrane and Brett Ebert were probably the most stiff to miss out on the 2004 premiership.

Nevertheless, you want want a 300 game player, 4 time best and fairest winner, and 2 time All Australian removed from the premiership team, which he was in the top 4 players on the ground on GF day for Jared Poulton?

Yes

 

[Watto71]

I seriously can't understand why people want Dixon back
He was dropped for poor form
Did nothing in SANFL other than gets suspended.
If Rats is fit I would choose him before Dixon

 

[Willsy10]

Yes

It absolutely baffles me how supporters hate Kane so much for literally doing what he is paid to do. And his ability to continually get under people's skins just shows that he is doing his job really well.

Just like the job he was given in the 2004 GF to shut down Simon Black.

To this day I have always said that when selecting the last spot for the GF team the selectors got it down to two players - Schofield and Brett Ebert. To me it was the wrong decision to go for Schofield over Brett as finalising the 22nd spot would not have made any difference to the final result. Schofield showed his true colours in 2005 when he returned to Perth after leading Port a merry dance - will he or won’t he? His stuffing us around cost us a good chance to get an old Magpie boy in Scott Thompson who returned to Adelaide from Melbourne.

 

[OnePortAdelaide]

Mitchy g out , port accept suspension

Maybe Marshall will step up this week

 

[Izzy01]

Apologies if this has been asked and answered. Is there a pre game function/ meet up? Me and Mr PL are heading up to the Gold Coast for some r & r.

There is a meet up at the Emerald Lakes Golf Club at 11, it’s across the road from the stadium. Not sure if there will be many there as it’s such an early game.

Cause he's a ****ing pissant and has shown his true Glenelg colours. Could care less about the club and just has a hard on for his brother in the coaches box. Pathetic weak jigsaw head he is.

Thanks! Seeya there

 

[RangaInTeal]

Sweet and Vis will be as mobile and defensively accountable as Charlie. With Mitch out play them together resting deep forward in Dixons role. Bring another runner in for Finlayson. Preferably Lorenz, Happy with Jackson, probably be Sinn or Rioli.

Out: Georgiadies, Finlayson, Evans
In: Visintini, 2 of Lorenz/Jackson/Sinn/Rioli

FB: Farrell, BZT, Bergman
HB: Houston, Aliir, Jones
C: Butters, Wines, Burgoyne
HF: Byrne-Jones , Lord, Marshall
FF: JHF, Visintini, Narkle
Fol: Sweet, Rozee, Mead
Int: Drew, Boak, L.Evans, Lorenz
Emg: Jackson/Sinn/Rioli

 

[Wargreymon90]

While my patience is wearing then, I think we should persist with Finlayson. We are so much better when he’s playing well.

He’d want to find some form quick though.

 

[johnnysix]

Allir and Finlayson are barometers for our team. When they are both able to play the role they're good at it makes us more mobile and has flow on effects for our mids and forwards. Whether Allir and Finlayson being barometers is either a root cause or a symptom of other factors is a good question.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I don't understand calls for Esava to play forward

 

[RangaInTeal]

But how are we with an extra Ruckman? How are we when Visintini plays well?

Our strength is our damaging Midfield, surely we should be designing our team to maximise our strongest asset and cover their deficiencies? Two Ruckmen that can hit the ball to their advantage is surely seeing a greater return for our biggest investment than Finlayson giving up first look and providing limited defensive cover or instincts?

 

[RangaInTeal]

Think it coincides with BZT playing well and Aliir back to being the general back there.

Rategolea now needs to become the third tall and play Jones/Burgman role.

I always thought it was the haggling of picks in the Josh Car trade that messed up our pursuit of Scott Thompson?

Crazy Choco and his pursuit of Aaron Shattock cost us big...

 

[davesnothere]

No. Not shown anything forward at all.

Would make much more sense to give Walsh a run if we want someone who actually has a football IQ.

I thought Carr was settled first (going back to play with his bro) & then Schofield wanted out costing us time to work out a deal. Crows then jumped onto Thompson

Esava and forward don't mix.
