Preview Changes Vs Port Adelaide, round 3 2021

[InTheWings]

AFL app now has Brander as in and Ah Chee as out injured, has there been an update or is this still it being weird with injury subs?

AFL website has the same.

Brander to the ruck confirmed - we made it happen peeps.

 

[squashface]

It's also showing us with a 5 man bench of Jones, Nelson, Brander, Langdon and Petruccelle. Langdon to sub? If Brander is the sub I will be very annoyed

Still got to get Brander into 22.

We’ve still ended up with Petro.

Does that mean we are going at less than 50%?

Is my glass half empty enough?


These thoughts reflect the football nous of someone who played 3 games in year 7.

No responsibility is taken for their accuracy.

 

[Chris_6678]

Ah Chee confirmed out.

 

[WCErevival]

Ah chee has a minor hamstring strain

 

[WCErevival]

Whats more important is Brayden is now an emergency

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I suspect they are protecting Brander from the physicality of Perth.

[DanWCE]

Reckon we've blinked and gone taller with Ports line up

 

[Shmiddy15]

Looking for best suggestions on how he did his hammy between the team announcement and this morning?

Tripped over his shoelaces

Probably attempted mark of the year at the captains run

 

[RookiePick]

Donated his hamstrings to Boots..

If he's anything like me it was probably trying to get out of his chair

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

What’s XON done so wrong that he’s now behind Ainsworth?

 

[Godfather32]

What’s XON done so wrong that he’s now behind Ainsworth?

Thought he's been solid in both games this year, not really sure why he was dropped

 

[Keys]

Shuey for O’Neill

Mid for a mid and Exxon is 6th in line so he comes out

Achee Brander for Vardy

Leaves us a ruckman down but realistically Vardy hadn’t been offering much. Gives us more run and another tall option forward and back. Probably should’ve been selected ahead of Achee in the first place

Petrucelle for Langdon

Underperforming forward for underperforming forward. Langdon a little stiff perhaps. Petruccelle lucky depending on which match report from the WAFL scratchie you believe- journo was not impressed but club write up was far more positive. I guess the MC saw the clubs version of his game

Could’ve retained O’Neill and gone with an extra mid with a plan to use Shuey in the forward half a bit more

Second ruck and the last forward spot continue to be a selection headache for us due to Vardy/Langdon/Petch not taking their opportunity. Waterman and Williams can’t get up to speed quick enough as they’d both be in the side if fit right now

 

[THE A5]

Brander forward and Allen in defence. Watch this space

 

[Coasters7]

Mark this date in your calendars. Brander 3 votes from the midfield beginning his journey to a Brownlow, cementing himself as our very own, less banged up, Paddy Cripps

 

[Keys]

What’s XON done so wrong that he’s now behind Ainsworth?

Fair chance they’ve brought in Ainsworth to be the sub as I feel that was going to be Branders job. Better him than O’Neill imo

 

[Sammy J]

Who is going to ruck when Naitanui’s off? Is the intention Brander will ruck and rove? Are we going to see Oscar back in the middle?

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

Shuey for O’Neill ✔

Mid for a mid and Exxon is 6th in line so he comes out

Achee Brander for Vardy ✔

Can I clarify if we play a 6 man forward line or 7?? JK, JD, OA, JJ, Crippa, Ryan. not to mention resting ruck or mid to rotate. so where does the Langdon/Petch/Ah Chee role fit in?? are they rotation or full-time forward pocket?? I am a little confused, perhaps you could clear that out for me since you watch them train.

 

[EagleMutt]

Why would they announce the ah chee out now instead of the normal 80 min or so before the game?

 

[Astro7]

Brander to the ruck confirmed - we made it happen peeps.

Bloody interesting change from MC/Simmo if it happens (and the posters!), finally getting inventive? We've got more and will have more deckchairs bobbing up to the surface, to be shuffled creatively...can't wait to see this, regardless of the outcome.
