Preview Changes v Norths

[OneGreatClub]

I'm assuming Trengove went alright? Would be good to see him succeed at AFL level again.

“Rocky was fantastic today, not just from a pure performance point of view, I thought the way he gelled with our group and the leadership he brought to our group was fantastic,” Lokan said.

“I thought Sam (Powell-Pepper) along with Rocky and Jasper, showed us some of the things he’s really good at, his contested work is fantastic, he is a tackling machine, and while I didn’t think he was outstanding today, Pep was solid and showed us that he is a really class player.

A FANTASTIC 36-disposal, two-goal game from Jack Trengove wasn’t enough as Port Adelaide fell to Sturt by 25 points in front of a packed Peter Motley Oval on Wednesday afternoon.

Magpies senior coach Matthew Lokan said while it was a disappointing result on ANZAC Day, he was proud of the way his young side battled the match out.

Ken always bangs on about rewarding form....

 

[PAFC04]

With the unexpected omission of Marshall, enter Lindsay....its hardly a like for like.... the game was doomed from that point on.

We can try and save face with this game with a win, however its going to be a harder challenge than it was in past two weeks.

Regardless of any changes, the team needs to improve on the fundamentals of the game.

Minimize our turnovers and forcing the turnover is easier said than done, but that is what is needed this week and every other bloody week....

Key match up, Howard v Brown.....

Key match up, Howard v Brown.....

And Goldstein vs ?

 

[PAFC04]

And Goldstein vs ?

Dixon...

I would even throw him at CHB....... doin F"all up forward.... Leave Watts up their...

 

[Pedro59]

Can someone please tell me why you picked up Lindsey Thomas? Just a waste of a spot on the list.

Because he can kick a lot of goals..?
In case of injury?

it's easy to be a wise keyboarder after the weekend eh

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Trengove, Barry for Amon, Thomas

At the very least right

 

[PJ Power]

It would seem that Barry and Johnson were held back for possible selection this week.

Presumably Barry for Thomas.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Maybe Johnson’s turn to be travelling emergency.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Maybe Johnson’s turn to be travelling emergency.

Hope that’s all it is. I have no desire to ever see him and Neade in the same side unless it’s the Maggies side.

Keen to see Barry back though, never should’ve been dropped. Piss Amon off.

 

[elee]

STOP using the ANALytics team for once and send both assistant coaches for a weeks holiday

 

[GremioPower]

Can someone please tell me why you picked up Lindsey Thomas? Just a waste of a spot on the list.

To play as enforcer, among other important roles. We should have three or four Thomas in our list, to be honest. Shame we have only one.

Expect him to play against Hawthorn.

 

[PowerLil]

Amon has to be out after his performance against Geelong.

 

[RossFC]

Melt day already?

IN: Barry
OUT: Thomas

Johnson and Toumpas travelling emergencies IMO.

Also anyone who played yesterday in the SANFL won't play this Saturday.

 

[Janus]

Second game at Etihad in two weeks.

Will require rotation of running players just for that reason, so I could easily see some players requiring general management dropping into the emergencies while guys like Barry, Toumpas and Johnson play just for this match to keep us fresh.

 

[ozph1870]

Toumpas at etihad again...ok

While i agree toumpas is in good form, much better than last year when he was selected, but do we ever learn...

Id say barry and johnson are definitely in, toumpas the emergency

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

In: Frampton (resting ruck/ forward), Hayes(resting ruck/ forward) Barry
Out: Marshall, Amon, Thomas

Yep....I know I need to get back on the medication

 

[shewho]

In Johnson, Barry
Out Thomas, Amon

No-one who played Wednesday could be expected to play. At best they'd be good for 50% game time.

Lots of players on notice though- we have Marshall, Powell-Pepper, Rockliff, Trengove and Pittard and maybe even Ryder all fit and firing and ready to travel to West Coast. Given that 2 consecutive weeks of travel often tests all clubs, I'd be looking to include as many of these guys for the Perth trip as I could. We need to rotate our list over the next month seeing we travel to Melbourne, Perth, China and Tasmania over the next 5 rounds.

 

[Killer Power]

Dixon...

I would even throw him at CHB....... doin F"all up forward.... Leave Watts up their...

Yeah **** it, why not hey. Let’s put the whole ****ing team in the backline and be done with it.

 

[Killer Power]

Ridiculous when we are screaming out for run and carry that Pittard played SANFL yesterday. Should have been an automatic inclusion this week.

Not the 2018 Jasper. Love the man but now with a history of hamstring problems his run & carry game are now a thing of the past. Also the guy can barely kick over 40-50 metres. Currently not quite best 22.

Just last week those who were watching said he looked a different player to 2017 and running freely. Easily better than current Houston / Clurey / DBJ. Makes us a better team and when fit should be in the first 16 selected every week.

 

[SplishySplashy]

OUT - Thomas (Susp), Clurey (Omit) Hartlett (INJ)
IN - Barry, Johnson, Toumpas

Maggies playing yesterday has well and truely limited our options. I would have dropped Wingard too.

 

[Buget]

Ladhams wasn’t reported either, the club is slack with SANFL news. Took almost 2 months for them to report that Drew was injured.

Drew? Don’t recall him.....

Thought he went missing.

 

[elpirate]

Out: Hartlett (knee)
Thomas (susp)

In: Barry
Johnson

Hoping for Clurey out also but he Hartlett injury may just save him.

North by 35.
