Preview Port Adelaide vs Brisbane - Round 1 @ Adelaide Oval

[jakey]

McKenzie over Pasini is a pissweak selection.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Haha Boak on the radio this morning talking about how we have a full squad to choose from and how his Mum will be over for round 1.

Then isn't playing.

 

[HugeJohnson]

The selection of Jones over Burgoyne isn't gonna be the difference here, anyone complaining about that is just looking for an excuse to be outraged.
The difference will be Brisbanes superior structure, key position players, coaching and skills.

 

[sobrave]

The team sucks lol

Mostly the coach sucks, but I don't need to see dbj and Lycett ever again

 

[Us against the rest]

Nothing has changed, not selecting Burgoyne is just dumb.

 

[Macca19]

The teams ok. Still losing though

 

[Troopsy]

We've now won the game because Brisbane thought Boak was gonna play.

Brisbane: we will terrorize Boak I reckon.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

The main surprise/contentious point is the non-selection of Burgoyne. Jones and Farrell being the two “lucky” selections.

Farrell is undroppable

Burgoyne > Bonner > Jones > DBJ on exposed recent form imo

 

[yepits2020]

Will be interesting who makes way for Boak and Finlayson.

Selection: Two club debuts, but veteran to miss Lions clash​

Changes from last trial:
IN: Rioli
OUT: Evans, Teakle, McEntee, Bonner, Burgoyne

Team:
F: Georgiades - Dixon - Rioli
HF: Powell-Pepper - T. Marshall - Fantasia
C: Bergman - Wines - Duursma
HB: Burton - Aliir - Byrne-Jones
B: Jonas (C) - McKenzie - Houston
R: Lycett - Horne-Francis - Rozee
INT: Butters - Drew - Jones - Farrell
EMERG: Bonner - Burgoyne - Evans - McEntee

No Boak.

I think we can all agree there is an interesting disconnect between what we've seen in the intra-club game, and the 2 inter-club games, and who has been selected. It goes beyond 'I like this player' and 'I don't like that player', it is not based on pre-season performance.
If 20 of us picked a team I doubt any of us would pick the same one, however I reckon there's 3 players there only because the coaching panel are trying to find their 'on' switches. That's a lot against a team that would still probably beat us if we picked our best team.

DBJ and McKenzie should be playing SANFL

Brisvegas forward line is going to kick 300
HF: C.Cameron 23 J.Gunston 19 H.McCluggage 6
F: C.Rayner 16 J.Daniher 3 E.Hipwood 30

 

[Windy Cindy]

No Burgoyne wow

dbj still has his gold pass

never any dare in our selections

 

[Coobk001]

My problem with selection is it is very much selecting for the 'now'.

It's a selection that doesn't really inspire me.

McKenzie obviously won his spot in that last game. Where Burgoyne appears to have lost it. Frustrating though as you've just got to pick Burgoyne, he's a future star defender. DBJ has to be someone the coaching staff wake up to, he is not the future.

I still don't know where Farrell fits either.

Knew Boak wouldn't play, hard to believe that wasn't us just foxxing. You don't come back from a rib injury like that quickly. Ribs are a bitch.

[Windy Cindy]

I reckon we win..

carn port Adelaide

 

[chachi11]

there small to mid sized forward worry me, I don’t rate their talls Daniher and hipwood I reckon we have them covered

Hipwood looks like peak Carey when we play them

 

[Sir Watchalot]

The Gold Coat Suns delisted Trent McKenzie at the end of 2017. How lucky is he that Port exists.

There's a million of those stories

They have literally just picked the incumbents "just because".

It's like the public service down at Alberton.

So, ah, let's not give a **** about selecting the best team cos the oppo is better? Bold strategy cotton.

 

[TazD]

Some good sack Hinkley selections in there, I like it.

 

[all seeing eye]

Ah its magnificent to see the selection rage again, its footy time folks.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I'd probably take Burgoyne over either of Farrell or Jones, probably Pasini over McKenzie and almost anyone over Lycett and Georgiadis (form).

 

[backtozero]

Looking forward to some good old Port Adelaide Football.

 

[LeoMessi]

I also don’t see what Farrell really brings to the side except for his whopping kick. But you can’t be a one trick pony in this day and age and be subpar in everything else

 

[Buget]

That team is a little confusing.

At what point during the preseason trials did 3 key defenders play in same back 6?

Burgoyne should be in the best 22. To not even make the emergency list is very strange.
