I thought that too but Maynard never said that.

Seems he's desperate to find something to fire up his players.
His words were “We're sitting on top for a reason..Port better bring their A game"

And yes, you'd expect he'd use it anyway he can.. to fire up his team, paint us as arrogant. Most sides would do the same. We've done it before too.

If it ends up being wet it's going to make it harder for us to launch off half back with quick and clean ball movement so will we see a change of tactic and we put more emphasis on generating stoppages and turnovers closer to goal?
 
For years on BigFooty we moaned about our lack of depth. And our injuries.

Now that we have depth and few injuries, we moan about team selection and who misses out.

We are not used to this, but this is what depth looks like.

For my moan - I can't deal with AJ being omitted. I understand why, but it doesn't help.
A 6 man bench would be nice.
 
If we breakeven in the midfield battle, we should win this game.

Their tallest defender is Allir at 195, McKenzie & Burton are 191.

Cox should be our main target. If they don’t play Allir on him, he’ll tower over the others.
We need McStay to neutralise Aliir's intercepting. If we do that, we are a good shot to win.

Our small forwards will win this game not our talls, they’ll bring it to the ground, let’s get it in quickly and in a chaotic way and the killer B’s (Billy, Bobby and Beau) will do the rest

That is unless some port flog knees him is the ribs and lacerate his spleen like the last time we played them.
 
I know we can tinker with our 23 by adding Johnson, Frampton and WHE... it's an away game in Adelaide, it's Round 19 in July AND Cameron/McStay/Lipinski/Sidebottom can further improve the more footy they play post-injury.

But...

This is a must win game for the belief IMO, at least for my belief anyway! For me this is our best 23.

IF we lose I'd hope it is a King's Birthday style loss where it's minimal and unconvincing by the opposition.

But with the team we've put on the park and the time of year, we need to be winning this game.

Yep. It’s been a while since we’ve had the opportunity to genuinely stamp our authority.

We don't really need to win this game. Only for bragging rights. We'll still be top of the ladder even if we lose tonight.
