Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 24, 2024 vs Fremantle

[bomberclifford]

Is Marshall a possibility? Or has he been ruled out for an extended stint?

 

[nadsee]

narkle needs a full game, not the sub.

burton will probably go down back, but he has had his chance in the past, time to move on. i would rather seen lorenz or sinn.

 

[Adz2332]

Was by far Mead’s worst game all year. He was worst on ground for me.

Has enough runs on the board to keep his spot.
But wouldn't be against resting him

Does he though? He has had an exceptionally poor month. This wasnt an isolated game.

ENTER TRENT MCKENZIE ON TWO STUMPS THE DREAM IS ALIVE

you win, poty, time to start a poll

no> he needs to get his body right, needs quality in the magpies.

 

[Rising Power]

1 SANFL game left. I can't see anyone but Sinn, Vis and maybe Soldo making the side after the bye. Williams and Lord would be absolute break glass.

If Narkle needs a full game, next week is the time in either grade.

[Edit: Marshall...who knows?]

Clurey was far worse than Burton in 2's yesterday. Clurey needs to be delisted or moved on at season's end. Has been an exceptional disappointment.

Had a few mates out there!

 

[El_Scorcho]

The KPF trio (incl Burton) was absolutely horrendous. Just 7 marks, 0 goals,1 behind and 1 mark inside 50 between the 3 of them. Our ball movement in transition was non existent.

I'd expect that if Marshall or Georgiades are fit, we'll see Ratugolea move back to defence and a shuffle around to cover Houston. That or Ratugolea just loses his place.

I don't think Rat or Burton can reasonably play KPF again. I'd rather Soldo, Lord, or even Scully.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Lord should not be anywhere near the side.

I don’t disagree, butttt I would give MG another week off, another game into Lord incase we lose Charlie before the season is over and Burton is no good.

 

[chiwigi]

Jones. Achilles strain that's a week off for mine.

Achilles is a weird one, rest often makes no difference.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Unless playing will increase the likelihood of injury I see absolutely no advantage in resting players.

Pre finals bye and potentially week off after winning the prelim means that they will get plenty of rest for the finals.

No player needs 3 weeks of rest at this point, especially a guy like Lachie Jones who struggles to pick up the speed after a layoff.

 

[Us against the rest]

The one thing that could be a worry is Sweet staying well in games without Soldo as back up. Losing sweet half way through a final game could cost us the season.

 

[davesnothere]

Does he though? He has had an exceptionally poor month. This wasnt an isolated game.

The better Ollie is the less relevant Mead is.

Wouldn't be dropping him but I don't remember both him and Ollie being in top form at the same time?

Dante is more than adequate back up for Sweet nowadays.

 

[Us against the rest]

Dante is more than adequate back up for Sweet nowadays.

Agreed, as long as Hinkley actually adds him to the team.

 

[Skindy]

Was Burton that bad? I didn't watch the game live but on replay he had a few nice touches and didn't do anything noticeably horrific apart from a kick off the ground when he should have picked it up.

 

[chiwigi]

It’s a shame Williams has gone backwards this year.

Could have been his moment.

He was better when he played back than at forward.

 

[Us against the rest]

Can Marshall play back, he is a good field kick.

 

[Scodges]

Can Marshall play back, he is a good field kick.

Was thinking the same thing.

2. PORT ADELAIDE

15-7, 60 pts, 114.2%

R24: v Fremantle, Perth Stadium

The Power are in line to host a qualifying final, but they’ll need a win over Fremantle in the final round to seal it. If they lose, there’s a chance GWS leapfrogs them into second place. As long as Port Adelaide wins, it should finish second. For Port Adelaide to finish fourth, a Power defeat and a Geelong win against West Coast would need to have a combined margin of about 22 goals.

Highest finish: 2nd

Lowest finish: 3rd

geelong vs port- round 9

He should be delisted for that filthy mo.
