Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 3, 2025 vs Essendon @ Marvel

[It Just Is]

We’ll need Rategolea given the height Essendon have up forward.

They’ve got Draper at 205, Jones at 196 and Caddy and 193.

If we go into this game with Aliir as our only tall defender we are asking to get monstered in defence.

Jones has been playing on a wing. Looks like a failed experiment to me so maybe he’ll be sent back forward or dropped.

Caddy is very young and Draper not really a forward.

We need more height in defence but if we are getting exposed that Essendon forward group than we’ve got bigger problems than just height.

Why are people saying Jones out?

He had a decent game on Saturday, especially compared to the nightmare the week before.

With the short turnaround between games, Ryan Burton and Lachie Jones both won't be available this Thursday night, with Burton suffering a hip flexor strain from being caught in a tackle, and Jones sustaining an adductor injury after hyperextending his knee.

Ah, cool. Thanks.

I tend to ignore anything from the club these days for my sanity .

 

[Scodges]

Burton has been moving like a Fentanyl fk’d zombie for some time now.
Even last year he was struggling.
Something not right with that guy.

I reckon he’s got a bout of sofcokalitus, that shit lingers.

Burton is a waste of time he was done 2 years ago.

He also didn't play any of the final quarter against Richmond.

34. Lachie Jones
Injury: Adductor
Est. Return: 1-2 weeks

Its not even just the short turn around we've listed him as 1-2 weeks.

Mind you this also appears to sum up Jones' career. Has a good assured game, gets injured in it. Comes back a frew weeks later and is extremely fumbly again.

 

[Rash]

Rat Port debut may be happening lol

 

[Powerade 08]

We are 2 talls down. Probably Rat, Ratkins, and Finlayson.

 

[Gryllis]

We better not put 12 games into Ratkins heading of his delisting at the end of year, and then only give Lorenz 3 games as sub when finals are out of the equation.

 

[JimmyBC]

Ratkins is the missing ingredient to total football.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I called it

 

[Interstater]

- Soldo for Lucky up forward

- Visentini for Burton (to stand Draper)
(Aliir to run off Tom Edwards)

- Moraes starts at HB for Jones

- Cochrane the sub

wakes up and sees Port have picked both the rat and the cheese

 

[RossFC]

With that aside, for those who watched the SANFL trials, if Lord’s fit, is he in good touch?

Nope.

 

[RossFC]

Credit to Hinkley. He at least waited for Ratkins to hit a target before calling him up.

That's what 13 years and 10 plus million gets you

 

[RossFC]

 

[Ports1870]

So from the sounds of it
Ratugolea for Burton
Atkins for Jones
Soldo for Luko
Cochrane for Berry or Moraes?

Three lumbering rucks with one as a KPD and one as a KPF at Marvel lol, I mean no one is happy about ratcheese but that's bonkers.

Our defence couldn’t be more decimated, is it really that surprising that Atkins is getting a game?

In the sense that he's barely hit a target with his disposal in the entire pre-season yes.

It's surprising he is on the list, let alone his seemingly imminent selection.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Imagine playing Atkins over cochoran

I get that we’ve lost two defenders but heck me that’s utter rubbish.
