Preview Changes & Preview Thread for 2024 Preliminary Final vs Sydney @ SCG

[Ford Fairlane]

I will be in Melbourne at the opera when the game is being played. Booked this girls trip after the Brisbane loss. Guess I can commiserate the loss at the champagne bar stop afterwards.

Ah the opera? Puccini's Magic Michelangelo perhaps?

Sydney have a habit of only playing 3 quarters… But a 6 goal deficit doesn’t concern them.

Scoreboard pressure and stopping the momentum swings is key for Port.

They give us a 6 goal start and there season is over.

LoL we beat Sydney by 112 pts and still don't have 100%+

To be completely honest, I have absolutely NFI what will happen this week, we could get smashed by 80 or win by 50, everything is possible. That's the frustrating thing with this team

Under hinkly we have become mentally and emotionally fractured

We are unlikely to bring in Ladhams this week. That must be worth a 112 point differential since we last met…

We’d never beaten the Giants in 3 previous finals. Eventually the Kenny curse since 16 will be broken.

Either way should be a great game not involving some bloke on instagram who’s now on holidays.

Just don't even think about it this week. Any confidence or hope building inside of you, cast aside by remembering the Geelong final. This team only delivers when everyone writes it off and rubbishes its chances. Now is absolutely the time for us supporters to do our bit and turn on the coach and the players, to elicit a hardened response from them. If they get praised this week, they'll come out on Friday in a slumber again.

I honestly think these 'backs to the wall' performances actually prove why a new coach would be of value. That intangible motivation factor that Hinkley has failed to illicit out of our players is needing to come from external sources. When it does we see the team lift to a whole new level. If we could harness that we'd be on the cusp of a golden era.

Will be a nil all draw.

That’s free kick counts, umpires won’t know who to favour.

To be fair to Ladhams you couldn't get the ball past centre anyway, so your forward line made little difference.

Obviously expecting a hugely different proposition this week with Papley & Rampe back, whilst we've lost a few and look pretty banged up.

Are you going to delist the Pistol? If we sack Hinkley we might like him back.

Exactly.

PNU is his next stop

When is the last time that a travelling non Victorian team won a preliminary final?

No we have him signed up for another year.

I think Geelong is going to comfortably beat Brisbane next week, and if that is the case one of us is going to be playing Geelong at the MCG. I just hope whoever wins out of our two teams is able to beat Geelong at the MCG.

No Way , Brisbane is too good for Geelong.

 

[Rising Power]

When is the last time that a travelling non Victorian team won a preliminary final?

Brisbane's home MCG final in 04.
West Coast v Crows in 05 or 06
Might be others

Just up the road. Problem with Pistol is its easy to remember all the stupid shit.

West Cosst Eagles. Not long ago, I think it was in 2018 .

 

[Olian]

Giants beat the Pies in 19 at the G.

GWS 2019?

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Sydney still have a habit of starting slow since we played them last. Has been a feature of theirs all year really.

In their previous 4 games, they have only been ahead at half time once, against Adelaide who also managed 6 goals in the first.

They’ve been behind against Collingwood, Essendon and the Giants. 2 quite average teams in there.

If we start strong, getting pressure on early will be essential.

Done. Can you throw in a packet of bbq Samboys ?
