Preview Changes: R8 vs Port Adelaide, 2024 - Curtin Call?

[George Kramer]

Yep

Noise building. Timing fits

It's happening!

If he plays you can thank me

 

[BucketsNj]

Love to see Curtin in but I can understand the thinking that Curtin might not be ready for a Showdown. And Murphy is a step up from McHenry

 

[radiojake]

What role was Curtin playing with his 31 disposals?

 

[SugarShane]

Anyone hear which Powah player is going to be wheeled out as the 'designated hater'?

BZerk will due for a gig. He's the new Burton. "I've only been here for 4 weeks but I already hate them with all my heart."

Let’s hope Tex goes Bzerk.

I'm thinking maybe Dan Houston takes it at some point this season.

I think they will be pretty quiet this week and maybe even play the underdog card due to injuries - I doubt we will see the usual sell from them

Or is it his manager just creating some subtle pressure….

Kid looks to be a gun so hopefully we get to see it Thursday

Very possible, but they're near on guaranteed to make a ruckus when it's their home showdown.

Kenny to come out and say Showdowns are scary

 

[BACCS]

What role was Curtin playing with his 31 disposals?

Mostly half back and then switched forward in the last and still had another 9 touches and a goal (which was very classy). Nearly got eaten by Mitch Harvey at one stage, but managed to survive.

While sipping on a Diet Coke.

I don't imagine they are going to come out with that stuff this week, their own supporters find it cringe and it misses the mark.

 

[MrBarry]

Does make me laugh how naive they are over on the port board. They seem to think the difference between the teams in terms of quality is like a sanfl team playing Collingwood. They do realise we beat them twice last year quite comfortably right....?

He was also deep in defence on their key forward, so he was playing FB as well

Last year we weren't playing Nick's new shit game plan for the majority of the time......

 

[MrBarry]

Last year we weren't playing Nick's new s**t game plan for the majority of the time......

I mean man for man, there's not that much of a gap across the field.

Midfield yes, I think we have them in the forward and back half personally.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Port will be better this week due to the outs

When they've been favourites the last few times they've choked. Frozen up and played crap. It's like a finals preview for them

A few outs means they'll be able to convince themselves that they're underdogs and free up

Issue is the players they are missing are key players, they might not be able to be better.

After Sloanes announcement we will be able fired up, it’s whether we can channel that into good football. If Nicks instructs them to go slow with that emotion and not use it, well he’d be a bit silly.

Especially off 2 losses last year.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Rowey pushing hard for Curtin to come in on 5AA this morning, definitely going to be media pressure on the club to hand him a debut this week. I'm still confident it happens.

Good... hopefully Rowey can be useful for once.

Perhaps Will could have a chat to his Dad...

 

[Bay62]

Have we had other debutants play their first game in a Showdown?

 

[Bay62]

BZerk will due for a gig. He's the new Burton. "I've only been here for 4 weeks but I already hate them with all my heart."

“And I love the prison bars! PRISON BARS FOREVER!! What? They’re not actually prison bars..? What the…”

Nothing stopping them from picking all of Murphy, Smith and Curtin if they want to. There's a forced out, McHenry and Hamill can both be omitted.

Of course Smith may not be fit.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If the power stupidly pick Rozee, we need to line up Rankine on him at the 1st bounce to make him chase...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We need to lockdown the influence of Butters & reckon we can control the middle.
