Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 18, 2023 vs Carlton at Marvel

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Jonas who has been bad in the seconds is the weakest selection in club history.

 

[PortVic]

Who would Jonas match up on?

Curnow is laughable, he'd have 5m on Jonas in an instant.

McKay is half a foot taller than Jonas.

He's too slow to play on smalls.

No good as an interceptor as he can't mark anymore and is a dump kick player.

Silvagni

 

[backtozero]

Jonas in the side makes little difference. Some of the reactions are OTT.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Anyone else I would think it was a tactical leak that might not be true. But coming from Burts I think it is more than likely true.

And I'll go full contra to the wisdom of the crowd and say I'm happy with Jonas coming in against Carlton.

Well Ken said he was in when he gave the post game presser.

He hasn't been bad in the seconds. What's the point of this bullshit...

Matthew Kennedy out for Carlton avoids acl but will miss 6 weeks

That's a loss for us. Very ordinary footballer.

 

[JimmyBC]

Big Jommy Tonas will bash youse all

 

[Marmozet]

Carlton supporters are very, very confident they will beat us.

Just a few days ago, this was just like any other game to me. Now I really want to put them back in their box!

Does show you how quickly things change in the AFL. 3 weeks ago they had gone 1-8, talk all about their lack of quality and unfair desires to sack a brand new coach. A couple easy kills and a good win and suddenly they're an elite team again.

now i hope we piss blast them in their faces

Problem with bringing Jonas in is he will stuff up everything

 

[Sewer de Lance]

I obviously wish Jonas nothing but the best, but one would think his current personal circumstances within the club will play right into Carlton’s hands.

It’s almost a forgone conclusion that he will subconsciously revert to being too overly cautious & reactive in attempting to once more justify his inclusion & standing within the side. In fact, he will probably feel more like a first gamer than a seasoned veteran.

Yeah they are, I had one taunting me saying they will be 5th after this weekend. Game will be won in the centre if we starve their forwards - Game Over.

I find them highly annoying - every time we play them the ranga Cotterill has a decent game. I don't think I've seen him play a good game against any of the other 16 teams.

 

[Willsy10]

Carlton supporters have always been the most delusional. Felt sorry for them at times but I think they are in need of another reality check.

I don't want Jonas in as much as the next guy but who would you bring in as a back?
Was always going to happen.

Evans is in good form. I'd have him for rioli

 

[VineValerian]

He had one reasonably good game.
The others have been poor.

Sad to see such a demise into being a shadow of a formerly decent enough player.

 

[PA88]

Lol the sanfl missed the chance to rub out a Port player? Someone's losing their job.

This month the SANFL umpires are targeting dangerous tackles ... by Port players.

In a year where we are sitting pretty on the afl ladder, it feels like there has been a spike in the number of frees and reports for dangerous tackles by Port players. I've seen some of these tackles and have not thought that they were justified frees.

Pardon the intrusion,

I popped in to say your faith in Ken has proven why I hope Voss gets the same opportunity. I also love 2 of your lads snozulu and philreich .

All the best in the finals.

 

[The Hobo]

No way you can select Fantasia in a final. The chance of him breaking down is just too high. His reward is just not worth the risk.

You'd pick him as a sub, game breaking ability that not many others on our list of backups have

Should be a good game this week, BAT. Carlton has been in good form, but these days, Port loses at Marvel about as often as I meet intelligent Crows fans.

Queenstown gravel oval was what I was hoping for. Everyone is to scared to go for a big mark there! It’s an amazing footy ground!

Hell probably go down the road of many a cooked veteran and get suspended trying to have an impact in the only way he still can.

Should be a good game mate. Looking forward to the abuse if the blue ball baggers get up.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Jonas in has all the hallmarks of being able to pinpoint where a promising season disappeared before our eyes. He's a poor match-up on any Carlton players, but no matter how badly he goes, if he's in now they've decided he's a McKenzie replacement, so in for at least the time until he's back. Even that is wishful thinking, we aren't dropping him a week or two before finals.

Great call. Ugly but true.

If they pick Jonas, you kinda feel like they're winding back the clock.

 

[RossFC]

I'm not against Jonas coming back in, he's got experience, and has a man's sized body... There really was no other option. A pass mark is keeping his player to under 2 goals, minimal fumbles, a few golden fists and nothing OOTF. I'd be surprised to see the same Jonas as we did in the first half of the year after his stint in the 2s. I'd hope the #1 on his back brings some magic. If he gets at least 1 contested mark against his direct op, I'll open the champagne.

Would be hard for him to take a contested mark with both his fists closed.
