No changes

 

[backtozero]

Is Stewart playing? Probably the only time ever where it might be acceptable to keep McEntee in.

I think tonight showed that you can't always have a small forward as the sub. If Aliir stayed off the ground, we would have been badly exposed.

 

[Smartys Power]

Man, we love a home QF against Geelong.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Vinsentini was better than Esava today

 

[ShowdownDomination]

Anyone know when the date/time will
be confirmed ? Or any confident guesses?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

And keep DBJ in the backline unless Farrell is good to go

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

In: Winning

Out: Losing

 

[b0ydman Jr]

When does the fixture get released? sometime next week right?
sportsbet have us playing on Thursday.

As for changes, team on a good run. Faz for whoever (only if he's still injured)

[b0ydman Jr]

AFL probably wants the most boring final out of the way first

 

[jdeezy]

DBJ doing well in the backlines and the Stewart match up means the Jedheads will ride again for sure.

Visentini for Dixon is easy.
Narkle deserves his spot back.

What happens with Marshall?

 

[Coobk001]

It is quite phenomenal we're hosting our third home QF against Geelong in 5 years.

Ken has done a very good job this year in taking us to a level of form that is far beyond any of the flaky stuff we've seen in the past. However it counts for zilch if once again we blow this opportunity. We MUST make a GF from here and we bloody need to win it.

Here comes the ride. Geelong at home will hold no fears, but will certainly not be easy beats.

You'd expect Farrell will have a chance to make it back for prelim week as that's 4 away.

Oppenheimer mode activate.

How many finals vs Geelong now since 97? 04 QF, 07 GF, 13 SF, 20 QF, 21 QF. Well we are 3-0 in QFs, can we make it 4-0?

 

[Ports1870]

Dixon for Dante
Sinn for Farrell
Evans starts over Jed
Narkle Sub

Guarantee Jed stays in though

 

[Arsene Wenger]

I find it a little fkd that we are first Thursday. Back from Perth, last game of this round. I mean if we had a concussion tonight, that bloke wouldnt be right to go.....

The alternative is also sort of bad - we play on a Saturday or Sunday, if we lose we go into a 6 day break against a team that has an 7 or 8 day break.

yeh fair call. I would rather Saturday twilight.

What more can we expect from the corrupt AFL. Most corrupt sporting organisation in the world.

 

[Marmozet]

Huge incentive to win this as the loser will most likely have to play the rampaging Hawks.

 

[El_Scorcho]

What happens with Marshall?

He comes in for Ratugolea.

Dixon for Vis.
Narkle for McEntee
Sinn for Farrell

We could also see Ratugolea go back into defence given the size of Geelong's forwards.

 

[PAFC66]

Narkle for McEntee
Sinn for Farrell

Don't change a winning structure that'd be stupid. Expecting Marshall who's done nothing forever to come back from a month off with concussion to start kicking goals and competing is extremely hopeful.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Farrell replacement is a funny one.

Do you rob the forward line of DBJ, who is one of our only damaging forwards (sadly)?

Do you throw Rozee back and see what it looks like?

Or do you back in Sinn who is every chance of shitting the bed?

Tricky one

 

[PowerBaz]

Vinsentini was better than Esava today

He was ill like Rozee.

 

[longdonkey]

Man, we love a home QF against Geelong.

Fanta Pants in - oh shit
