Preview Changes & Preview Thread for QF2, 2024 vs Geelong

[PowerBaz]

Is selection tonight?

Kane says the Port players should treat this as Us vs Them and by Them he means Port supporters who booed Hinkley.

Meanwhile at Alberton, our captain makes sense.

I don’t forget easily so hopefully he has a belter of a game.

Will be a slippery deck.

Why, they are predicting it will get up to 27 degrees on thursday, which is really hot for this time of the year and the chance of rain looks small.

And the showers are likely to be in the morning.

 

[Willsy10]

Not the issue clearly

The issue is that anytime he’s tackled it could end his career and we go one player down

How many concussion has he had this year and previous years? Genuinely interested, i thought the one against Melbourne was his first one this year, but was a concern because he has had a few in previous years.

It appears to be more issues with marking contests, the one against the Dees if i recall he was going back and covering in defence for some reason. Maybe sticking to what he does best and leading up towards the ball is the answer, whilst going back with the flight is courageous it is not his thing.

Still rather Narkle than Todd in.
Night game don’t need that many talls.

 

[Willsy10]

Dixon in for Visentini is obvious.

But who comes in for Farrell is anyone's guess. I'm still leaning towards Marshall.

But I also think Narkle probably deserves a game too. Obviously neither Marshall or Narkle will play down back but this sounds like it might be covered by DBJ moving down back.

I believe in total Todd has had 5 concussions in 8 years now.
One this year.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

If we play DBJ back and make a small forward the sub rather than a small back I think it's a mistake.

Id rather see Sinn as the emergency so we have cover at both ends.

Butters gonna be licking his lips.

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

Stuff all chance of rain in the early morning, deck will be perfectly dry and there's light wind forecast. It'll be a fair display of both teams best, where I see our best being superior to theirs. Whatever side is picked to play will be the fairly stable side to play all our finals.

 

[pstew2dstew]

Todd Marshall is not that bad, there are some confidence issues but he isn't a bad footballer. I personally think that he is too good to be sitting out if he is 100% ready to go.

The narrative on here that picking him will result in the team going from premiership contender to Div 7 ammo standard is actually laughable.

What happens if it is Marshall in McEntee out

100% he is best 23 imo.

But there is a few different arguments in the discussions about Todd. Which should be separate categories.

1. Is Todd healthy
2. Todd vs Esava
3. Is Todd best 23 which boils down to
is Todd better than big Mac and Evans.

I would like Sinn selected in the side but alas he was training with the B team

 

[Windy Cindy]

Still rather Narkle than Todd in.
Night game don’t need that many talls.

if Todds not prepared to put his body on the line for every contest and chase, tackle and harass he cant be picked.

based on what I've seen this year, he should not be picked again this finals series.

narkle needs to be the sub

 

[Bevoman]

Forget about McEntee getting dropped they'll be thinking he can pester the Geelong backs as he did last time.

We showed our hand last time. Since then Stewart has started on the ball and then drifts to the back line. Too smart for Jed where if you infringe on mids free kicks are paid.

Butters gonna be licking his lips.

Just stop him from licking his eyes

I'm intrigued about what other results that threw up.

So looks like DBJ to half back with Dixon back in for Visentini and either Marshall or Narkle in.
Most probably Marshall, as Ken loves him.
Still think that’s a bit tall for a night game.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

If Sinn can’t get a game now he may as well pack his locker after training and head off into the sunset.

It will be interesting if they go with their conservative approach and pick Marshall or Narkle or anyway a forward because it may be the Geelong medium and small forwards that do the damage and it would be nice considering we have Houston and Farrell out that we could have another option in Sinn down there.
