Preview Port Adelaide POWER vs Greater Western Sydney GIANTS, changes and preview. Positive vibes only.

[JimmyBC]

DBJ can return to half back to cover Dylan and Orazio to half forward.

Somehow McEntee will survive.

I would drop Finlayson if we had another tall forward option. Honestly Teakle would provide more, at least he would drop marks not be outmarked. Wonder how Dante's quad is recovering?

Why not throw Finlayson back? McKenzie can barely get off the ground even before rolling the ankle again

 

[Rexie J]

I've got an idea! Let's play Fantasia! He is exactly what we need! I think he could be the WILDCARD!

Please stop! You're over thinking things

It might come to that but Finlayson's lack of competitive effort over the past month at least would destroy us. Hogan would kick 14 on him.

Thing is we are running out of options, he's in crap form maybe being forced to mind a forward might get him involved.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Crap thread name, does not make sense, no irony, humour or pretence of thought, crap thread name and doubt would find anything as ridiculous on other club boards.

Lol you got Phar Ted

They'll tape McKenzie back together and play him.

But you're right. Who'd have thought Jonas getting injured in the last training session before finals would matter so much?

 

[Pafcsince86]

Our defensive personnel and defensive structures suck, they have leaked goals all year and hence it is why most knowledgable pundits dont rate us. If we dont dominate the middle and hold the ball forward we are screwed.

For the last 10 years

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Out: Finlayson, Duursma, McKenzie, Williams
In: Dixon, Boak, Bonner, Fantasia, Evans (Sub)

**** knows who plays where.

The barrel wasn't very full to begin with and now well and truly scraping the bottom of it.

 

[Pafcsince86]

If Dixon is ready, Finlayson out surely.

Who cares the rest

Finlayson needs to go to backlines if Dixon's ready

 

[tribey]

Same voices posting the same extreme lack of analysis.

Coming from you!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol aaaand its changed

 

[Papa G]

Lol aaaand its changed

Loser club is all encompassing.

 

[StuMan]

Loser title change for a loser club. Apt.

Still think Jonas getting injured was a blessing tbh he fell over his own shadow twice in the Richmond game.

Positive vibes? No I have nothing

 

[Doctor Feel]

Please restore the thread title as per this original screenshot. No other board has thread titles like this one. Especially not the hawthorn board. Complete disrespect to the supporters of this foodbowl cwub to change it to something so inaccurate and displeasing on the eye.

 

[SureBuddy]

Duursma out, don’t care about any other changes. Would rather go in a man down if we had to.

 

[Coobk001]

Can't wait till this one, 2 hours of sitting with arms crossed. Should be riveting.

 

[Visenfest]

Out: Duursma, McKenzie (if he is injured), Williams, McEntee

In: Bonner, Dixon, Burgoyne, Evans

Send Finlayson to defence to replace McKenzie.

I don't know if they'll win but I certainly think GWS play a better brand & play better team footy, they may save us from more embarrassment in another PF.

 

[PJ Power]

Agree. It would have been a reasonable move if he had been at all competitive, but he’s been far from it for weeks. Consider that Lord was on Andrews, Marshall on Payne. Finlayson got their third tall defender and offered 0.0 in contest, and failed to provide any presence or link up option. Up there with Duursma and Wines, for most disappointing performers on the night.

Why get embarassed in a PF when you can get embarassed in a semi, elimination or qualifying!

Hinkley with the full spread!

 

[PJ Power]

Out:
McEntee
Boak (the game has passed him, he plays the way Duursma plays at the moment)
Williams

In:
Fantasia
Evans
Burgoyne

Positional moves:
Bergman to defence to replace Williams.
Burgoyne to the wing.
Fantasia and Evans to the forward posts.
DBJ to sub.

If McKenzie doesn’t come up, I’d roll the dice on Pasini. You can’t risk going in with only Aliir.

Big shame that Dixon’s not fit.

I’d also give serious thought to bringing in Narkle or Bonner to Duursma’s wing but that becomes a lot of changes.

This is where Jackson needed to be blooded earlier in the year, as he could have been a good replacement for any of the underperforming mids/wings.

I think with Boak you either play him in the starting side or you don't pick him, I'm really not a fan of old farts in the sub role they sit there getting cold & rarely impact.

Hmmm .. positive vibes only ..

This will be the best game we will play since the last one.
