Eddie claiming Port prefer the away prelim probably took him all of 15 seconds to come up with.

They've lost 2 home prelims recently, so they can't get it done there. Plus in their last 2 finals, Port got belted as the favourite and then won when given almost no chance.

That's probably the extent of his inside knowledge, but it's a fair enough assumption.

They can't win a prelim as favourites at home - let's see what they can do against heavy favourites away, against a team they match up very well on.

Don't forget Eddie has his "inside man" on our board!

Great….

Was never going to be anything other than those changes.

It means the changes from last time we played Sydney are Houston/Farrell out and Burton/Sinn in. So essentially it's the same team but with a couple of half back flankers downgraded quite significantly.

VFL going in dry.

Transport is going to be an absolute nightmare tomorrow night to the SCG.

NRL final on next door and transport strikes. Yay!

Welcome to Sydney for anyone travelling!

Actually they both defend better ..
Burton has a decent kick ..

And Sinn is a beast

Expected team announcement. Semi relieved. Trying to think positively from here on out. Negative energy can only be a hindrance now.

Why persist with Charlie for?

TeeKray · 2024-09-19T18:35:57+1000

Changes from Sydney's team since last time we played ...

IN - Rampe, Melican, Amartey, Papley, Campbell, McInerney
out - Wicks, Corey Warner, Mills, Ladhams, Francis, Adams

So they're fielding a stronger team on paper this time around. Papley is the one that really jumps off the page straight away as being a big concern that we didn't have to deal with last time.

That Curtis deboy is a real problem. Gifted goals to Hawks to get them back in it and gifted GWS at least 3 goals. Follows the AFL HQ script.

Wouldn’t be tackling Papley or Rioli anywhere near high or he’ll pay them.

Should be a cracker tomorrow night.

And a struggling Dixon, sore Butters, and more inconspicuous than usual Evans.

PAFC66 · 2024-09-19T18:47:46+1000

Was super confident until I saw Dixon in.
Absolutely no reason to put him in on a small ground, unless he's capable of running all day up around HF leaving the 50 open for Rioli. His opponent will just run off him

Houston yes. Farrell for Burton or Sinn, eh. I'd prefer Farrell, but if Sinn plays like he did last week or Burton plays like he did against Freo it's no great loss.

I think all six of them are big inclusions. Their defence was very shaky with Francis on Ratugolea and Blakey on Georgiades. Melican and Rampe are huge upgrades. McInerny is also a frustratingly effective opponent, while Campbell’s in great form as a sub. But yes, Papley is the big one.

Matchups?

Drew started on Massimo last week but got moved on ball in the 2nd half.

Does he go to Gulden or Heeney?

If Burton is back does Burgoyne go back to the wing?
