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

Burton for Marshall.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Forward line without Marshall is a worry - we look a lot better when he was on the ground

 

[Coobk001]

I think it'll be Burton and Dixon for Marshall and Lorenz.

I like Lorenz, but it's a huge ask to be getting him to play his first games at this time of year. Was actually surprised we didn't roll with Williams as sub personally.

Lorenz has been pretty consistent, he deserves a go, even if it's just as a sub.

Williams I was a big fan of before, but a mixture of the high line and a drop off of form in the SANFL has killed his chances I think.

The last time Port Adelaide & Hawthorn played in a final, not only was it also decided by 3 points but the winner went on to smash Sydney by 63 points the next week...

Does the filter not work on people of African descent?

 

[FishingRick04]

When’s the last time for staging been issued? ****ing for high frees doesn’t count?

 

[Chewy316]

Just need to make sure Sydney don't improve on last matchup's result by more than 111 points.

 

[Coobk001]

Wow.

The other side of the draw may well have the 2 sides that've absolutely smashed us this year.

It does now.

07 Grand final or 04 grand final rematch if hinkley doesn't act like himself for a week lol

Which ironically is probably our best chance.

So Brisbane have the 20 year redemption arc if we manage to get past Sydney.

Sweet just played the best game of his career by a long way. I got a good idea… let’s bring in a second ruck to mess with it.

We played Vissenti and Sweet together against Fremantle . Had it messed Sweet ruck work ? . On contrary , our pressure and ball movement was elite because of younger bodies and better ruck support to Sweet .

I’m with you on this. Sweet played his best game for us against Fremantle, his first really big game for us, and I put it down to Visentini playing.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Sweet did look spent half way through the 3rd. As did most of our team.

Not sure how they all ran it out so well.

I think we just look better without Dixon.

That's because we do.

Dixon moved and played well against McCartin on the bigger AO in round 21, with Francis taking Ratugolea and Blakey on Georgiades. They didn’t have Melican or Rampe in defence, and no Papley, Amartey, McInnerny or Campbell either. Parker was also sub and came on and gave them a little bit when the game was over. Mills obviously played. Drew started on Warner.

Obviously this will be completely different for lots of reasons. They’re at home, back in form, with a third of their best team back in and will in no way be blindsided by our tactics. We’re seemingly more banged up, with at least two guns down (Farrell and Houston).

Honestly don’t know what to do about playing Dixon, Lord, Visentini or Burton to partner Georgiades and Ratugolea forward. The role we need filled is someone who can contest between the arcs, provide an outlet marking target and drag a tall opponent with him away from Rioli and MG. Preferably someone who can cover ground reasonably well. Such a shame that between Marshall, Dixon and Lord, none is ripe for such an occasion.

 

[PAFC66]

Apparently Farrel is a real chance at playing. Would be a massive risk though.

Now I've seen the fixture and seen we are actually in the preliminary I am very nervous going to be an interesting week
