Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 19, 2024 vs Richmond @ Adelaide Oval

[HinkleysHeroes]

He wouldn't be the first trade-in to take time to find his groove & won't be the last. He's basically been a defender for 18 months which is fukc all time we have far bigger issues.

Ok.

So you are saying we have recruited him as a developing defender?
Why would we do this? He is experienced.
Would this be a good idea when we need a made to go defender? No.
Your post just proved the stupidity of this trade. We may as well develop a junior who has natural defensive reactions to the play. This will always have the better outcome.

DBJ is lucky to keep his spot especially with Rioli coming in

Rioli makes DBJ better though.

Watch DBJ get 2 goals and easy possessions wit hrioli getting manned

We are in this position because as you are aware we never draft first round KPD's, his experience is irrelevant he's only been a defender for a short period of time it's too early for me to put a line through it. He played a couple a good games earlier in the season I hope he can get back to it, but feel free to carry on like a moby he's the least of our problems.

Wait is Marshall omitted or injured

Can't believe DBJ has kept McEntree out of the side.

Injured

So Esava and Dixon will get in George’s way?

DBJ has been poor recently, but he's had a good season overall.

I don’t think he’s an instinctive small forward. He was an all Australian defender in 2020 and a couple of years later Hinkley moved him forward. He’s played odd good games as a forward but there are parts to his game in that role that I think let him down

 

[Scodges]

Do you even watch what he does? He has to be the most daft defender I have watched for the PAFC.

Esava & Aliir cannot play together, they’ve not gelled. I blame the defence coach.

not sure how Ratugolea gets a game, Richmond does not have a big forward line.

unless he plays a second ruck, or there is an injury query with BZT or Aliir.

 

[Adz2332]

Rat to play forward for sure

 

[True__Believer]

Out: Marshall, Finlayson, Jones, Farrell,
In: Georgiades, Ratagolea, Rioli, Williams

Nostradamus right here lol

 

[Enviable Tradition]

2024 era dixon, baby lord and esava as kfs would be pure comedy. Mitch’s defender would be laughing as Mitch’s teammates do his job for him. We really only should be playing one of those, and lord is the only one with a future in the position.

Georgiades is going to get murdered in a pack sandwiched between Dixon, Lord and Esava the way we deliver the ball forward.

If you told me he’s currently running a cafe in the motherland with Mark Viduka, I’d believe it

Whatever makes him happy...

This has to be the game where Dixon shows his worth, and if not, then his last game for us.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Wait is Marshall omitted or injured

Yes.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

That's a very tall line up for a wet night.

One of the talls will drop out for McEntee.

 

[longdonkey]

Nostradamus right here lol

I hope I'm not thinking the same as Hinkley

 

[longdonkey]

140 you mean?
Sorry guys, you have Ken for a while yet after the flogging that is going to take place.

Make the pain go away - please

Had his leg torn off at the hip by Dixon last week!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Dixon to tear Georgiades' ACL.

 

[Willsy10]

4 forced changes with injuries but probably not any worse off really. The ins are probably better overall.

I agree with this. He gets on the scoreboard when the defenders drop off him in a zone or the defender gets sucked into the play and DBJ parks himself about 40 out and waits for a short pass. He doesn't instinctively rove a ball from the pack but finds space. Not sure if this is a conceived tactic or not but it happens multiple times.

Don't know what this means in the Hinkley pressure game because if his opponent gets the ball he is not close to apply pressure.
