Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Showdown 56

[240volt]

One change out Todd in Burton

 

[PAFC66]

Burton was fantastic last showdown



Shame George isn't fit.
Hard to see us kick a winning score to be honest, won't be a shootout.

 

[GoPorts]

Ken moving on from his love affair with the pressure forward to now requiring a no pressure forward to be named each week

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Burton in

About right.

Burton is a safe predictable pick.

There's old coaches and there's bold coaches but there are no old bold coaches.

Ken is an old coach.

 

[manureid]

Bring in the softest player on the list

 

[240volt]

From memory I’m counting 4 out from the last time we played them.
MG
Jed
Williams
Marshall.

Dont know why but expecting ratagoulea to pull one outta his arse and kick a bag.

keane takes dixon, none of their key backs have rata's size, he either kicks 5.1 or 1.5.

Best thing about Burton is he can kick long and pretty straight.
That’s about it.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

So much for the word on the street about Sweet

If he manages to kick his first attempt at goal, he may well get on a roll. Confidence and belief are powerful ingredients to performance. It may only be placebo but hey it can work.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

But Eddy Cornes knew the lay of the land

 

[Gryllis]

Burton's just keeping the seat warm for MG. But this is his somewhat unexpected chance to show he can offer something up forward, as there's no spot for him in the backline.

That should bring some intensity. Let's see.

Soon as I hear (word on the street) I know it’s BS.

Jed is a big loss

Eddy Cornes unironically seems like a way better kid than his dad.

Speaks really well for a young guy

 

[El_Scorcho]

It looked like Burton was doing a Marshall style role in the Maggies yesterday

There we go, looks like they're going to give Burton the same opportunity to save his career they're giving Ratugolea

 

[240volt]

What’s the weather looking like over there?
Any chance rain ?

 

[El_Scorcho]

Expecting Burton to play forward as per him playing in the forward line for the Maggies last week.

That’s about it.

And thats enough to cover Todd’s loss

Unpopular opinion?

You'd hope the leakers would keep quiet about our selections in season defining games and finals.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Burton knows he’s only got one week to prove he still belongs at this level, otherwise his career at Port could be over. It makes me think he might actually put in this week.

I like the selection..

Might be last chance saloon for him.. he’s lost his spot down back maybe he can turn himself into a valuable tall half forward
