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

[FR0GGY]

For the life of me I can’t work out who he has left out though to include curtin twice.

Oh dear. Looks like I fell into a trap then.

There was no trap. I am in the wrong. lol. Ive just been told 5 times already. But everyone correcting comes from a good place.

Has 2 outs and only 1 in?

 

[dogs105]

I know. But i do admire the 5 people who have told me lol.

Dowling was a bit quiet in the SANFL today, but has had a very good season

 

[jenny61_99]

Hindenburg offered far more than Gollant and thus stays. Cook likewise. Butts in for Borlaise. And I’d love to see Curtin in for Pedlar. Can’t see that happening though.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Didn’t get to see the game, will Elliot get a game next week or we going back to burgess?

Berg isn't getting dropped after today as was more than handy.

Will help us stretch Port with Aliir out.

 

[crows dude]

Has 2 outs and only 1 in?

Of course. lol. Needs to bring another in

 

[crows dude]

Curtin in
Pedlar out injured

 

[crows dude]

Why do you think we're holding Murphy back this week?

He played today in Sanfl

 

[Redleg Crow]

If Curtin is not picked we should just ring up West Coast and discuss the trade terms now.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Himmelberg is not going anywhere. Better as a forward and in the ruck than either of Burgess or Gollant. Yes the opponent was s**t, but nobody can convince me that those other two would’ve had the same impact. EH is no chance of being dropped. Ruck craft looked better than ROB too tbh.

And I don’t rate Himmelberg at all.

Pretty much. Right now he’s looking like the best of a bad bunch, wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps his spot until RT comes back

 

[BACCS]

Curtin had 30 and a goal in the SANFL. If he isn't in the team after that, he's surely going to leave.
Based on the numbers, Dowling didn't have a strong game, so maybe now we'll give him a debut.

Fingers crossed for McHenry out, but based on everything Nicks has ever done, I fear Murphy is the only possible replacement. Sholl having a really strong game (29 and a goal) against NM means he'll probably have a gold pass for at least a month.

Schoenberg put up good numbers, but I have no idea if he's fit for an AFL game. Anybody who watched the SANFL game is more well placed to have an opinion on that. If he's ready, I'd have him in.

Hamill gets dropped depending on the fitness of Schoenberg and Berry.

My changes would be;
In: Curtin, Berry* (sub)
Out: Pedlar (shoulder), McHenry (omitted)

*Assuming Berry is fit.

Schoenberg looks fitter than pre injury, Burgess said it just before he returned and it shows.

 

[BACCS]

Pretty much. Right now he’s looking like the best of a bad bunch, wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps his spot until RT comes back

Berg is definitely a decent enough depth player for the position he plays

 

[BACCS]

Hamill --> Curtin
Pedlar --> Dowling

McHenry sub, or Smith if he has to play.

Schoenberg and Taylor are ahead of Dowling now

 

[MsTopG]

Sounds like rozee amd pepper pig are out.

In
Butts Dowling Berry Curtin

Out
Sholl McSpudry Borlase Hamill

He can actually get dangerous... just needs to cut down his errors.

He got on his bike to be a marking option... & not competing in same contest as Fog or Tex.

Also, gather ROB got his biggest rest from CBA's today.

Problem is he’ll probably head over to GWS next year, hopefully we draft Muz’s bro and he kicks on to fill that depth gap

 

[Geoffa32]

If Himmelberg is playing well, I am yet to see much from today, he could stretch Port.

One thing he can do well is mark the ball at the highest point.

Best I’ve seen him in a while in this regard, albeit against a poor opponent

Still can get pushed off the contest easily at times, like when Corr shrugged him off, but if he can provide at least a couple of contested marks a game and that kind of around the ground production he’ll be a solid enough placeholder

Do you think they'd straight swap for Reid?

 

[whattagun07]

Schoenberg and Taylor are ahead of Dowling now

after 1 slightly down SANFL game?
Dowling has runs on the board, deserves first crack. Stop waiting for perfection, and give the kid a run!

 

[dblstR]

For the love of god just get Curtin in

Agree. Well and truly deserves his chance.

 

[George Kramer]

If Murphy plays then it’s purely on being a love child and experience, he did nothing to warrant an AFL game

 

[spenze]

Hate to say it guys but the changes will be

Out Pedlar Inj Hamill

In Murphy, Smith


A lot of leadership coming in, senior heads can never be a bad thing in a big game.

On a side note, thought Ross the Boss interview last night was interesting, trying g to find the right balance between flooding new players and getting the win, he thinks he is almost there too
