Preview Changes & Preview Thread for QF2, 2024 vs Geelong

[PowerBaz]

Saving Marshall for the prelim is smart

I’d only save him for the granny… get back out there with ya concussion.

This team doesn't have any defensive rotations.

I get that it's trivial to rejig the lineup so that DBJ and Ratugolea (and maybe Rozee) are defensive rotations, but this team as listed has none.

 

[PowerBaz]

Yer because McEntee and Evans are real winners

Well they don’t play the game alone. As a collective it has actually worked hasn’t it?

 

[PowerBaz]

Let’s watch for the umps, VIC bias will be in.

 

[afl2004]

That bench is horrific

 

[JimmyBC]

The thing about the game in Geelong this season was we blitzed then they nearly ran us down, it wasn't some glorious win without warts.. old mate carrying on like he'd won Powerball aside.

 

[Visenfest]

He won't play unless there's carnage in the warmup

Chris Davies might get in the way again.

 

[Willsy10]

That game against Geelong earlier in the year was a weird one, we definitely caught Geelong napping early and went for broke and full throttle but yeah we did let them back in badly, but we seem to be finishing off games stronger this last month or two.

Even still if Rioli doesn’t give away that stupid 100 metre penalty just before 3/4 time which gave them a run on we probably win that game by 20-30. We did also seem to regain control in the last couple minutes too, with a Rioli goal about half a second too late that would’ve given us a 12 point win.

Just like Jed was named in the squad of 26 and then snuck into the 22, made Francis Evans the sub, despite playing well and kicking 2 goals against the crows, you just know Kenny is trying to pull every string he can to get Marshall, named as an emergency and get him into the 22.

From the Thursday night before the Freo game

Selection: Extended team named as Wines celebrates milestone

Mitch Georgiades returns as Port Adelaide names its extended squad to take on the Dockers.

Josh Sinn, Ollie Lord, Dante Visentini and Jed McEntee have also been added to the preliminary side, with all four players named on the extended bench.

The 26-player squad will be reduced to 23 on Friday afternoon, with the tactical substitute to be chosen from the interchange and announced one hour before the bounce.

will do his usual bullshit and make a last minute change to the 22 he named tonight, which was no change from their final game where they belted West Coast at home.

My money is on Stanley Out and De Koning in when he submits the papers 1 hour before bounce down.

We should follow the Chris Scott blueprint and submit our papers with McEntee out Sinn in and restore order and balance to our team

 

[Blinky Nyland]

I hope this is a late change because as it stands we've lost a fwd weapon in DBJ and he would be a liability if he's directly replacing Farrell's role because he's not gonna break with speed and kick accurately!

I see the reasoning behind overlooking Sinn. He's not proven himself enough at the level and is injury prone but DBJ has proven himself as a defender. DBJ lacks the straight line speed and depth in kicking of Sinn but he's got better agility to go with the likes of Miers and Stengle. Burgoyne can also slide back if needed and Mead or Narkle can play wing to cover that. DBJ is however our best connector as a forward so that is a loss to have him move back.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

im scared

I hope you are not implying that finals are scarey. Look where that got us last time.

 

[RossFC]

 

[TazD]

Typical AFL, just have to shoehorn Collingwood in

 

[JimmyBC]

Kingy reckons Dangerfield is gonna go boonta and show JHF, Rozee & Butters the real level.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

De Koning - wasn’t he supposed to be their ruck saviour?

Some suspect he'll be a late in because that's what Chris Scott does to try mess with the opposition

Apparently he was quite shit in his latest VFL game though

 

[Windy Cindy]

Yeah heard that bout the only 2 minutes we were discussed in the whole show..

Hope we shove it right up him these finals..

 

[Lefti93]

Just as Warren, I mean Arsene Wenger posted earlier in this thread.

Saw it on the whiteboard.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Winning this game with three Geelong rejects would be interesting

Yep and any victory would be built on 4 qtrs of manic effort, JHF to play a blinder and if it gets down to a clutch goal

at the death all we can hope for is that the ball hits Ollie or Trav's foot.

 

[ibd77]

Not feeling the finals buzz like in 2020 & 21. Might get mildy excited if we make a home prelim.

Now that is scary.

everyone knows he will play

 

[afl2004]

Bookies don't rate Geelong

 

[Lefti93]

Who'd have ever thought going into a qualifying final we'd be stretched for half back players.

 

[chiwigi]

Taking Burgoyne from the wing would be the dumbest decision since the last one.

Please stop suggesting it.

He’s literally the outlet guy. Lock him down back and there’s nobody to give it to when the corridor is blocked.
