We have our new ruckmanBut Bews is not small, he is an overly bulked up medium sized player at 286cm and at least 90kg and is no longer quick off the mark. Maybe they think his size is needed for Rioli. And not picking SDK means Kolo and JHenry need to play on talls. Hang on, Rioli is only 175cm.
I'm expecting LATE CHANGE is coming.
Scotty very unlikely to keep team as is.
It's a Thursday game... plenty of time before the next match (especially if we win).Still though, it's weird to have him travel to Adelaide post injury unnecessarily if he's not going to play.
Would've thought him resting up at home for a semi/prelim final return, or even playing a half in the VFL would've been better for him in that case.

Doubt they would be in our top 30 if still on our list.Weird, don’t see how under any condition a fit SDK doesn’t play. Surely comes in late. Either way, we aren’t losing to a team that has Sav, Narkle and Francis Evans in their 23. Go cats
Blicavs is in defence now though.Hmmm no SDK, thats an interesting move with Dixon back, look small down there. I hope this isnt another “its raining lets not play a ruckman” kinda backfire
Interesting that AFL wise, PORT give away the most free kicks. There must be some method in their madness, maybe the old "professional free"to allow them to set up for their controlled game. Def taking their lives in their hands trying that on in finals. Overconfident if they think they can harass Stewie off the ball like last time. Just try it, you turnips.
Also noted by Champion Data this interesting stat i thought was applicable
The stat measures games where games consists of more ground balls than uncontested marks or vice-versa
More uncontested marks than ground balls equals a "control based game", the opposite is a "chaotic based game"
During the Home and Away season, 50% of games are played in "control based game"
During the Home and Away season, 49% of games are played in "chaotic based game"
During the Home and Away season, 1% of games are a 50/50 "control/chaos game"
Of all Finals played since stats were recorded for it, 80% of the time they are played in a "chaotic style game"
Geelong is the number 1 team in the comp to play a "chaotic style game"
Port Adelaide is one of the lowest teams in the League to play "chaotic style games"
Majority of Cats wins are chaos style games, Port with control based games.
Geelong of 2019-2021 were number 1 in control based games, completely flipped from 2022 onward.
What has our Finals results been like since the flip?
3-0 Win/Loss record
Port are literally just us from 2019-2021.
I think Bews has him covered athletically , but Rioli is crafty so Bews will need to stay close and not fall for his feints/fakes - study the tape Jed !!But Bews is not small, he is an overly bulked up medium sized player at 286cm and at least 90kg and is no longer quick off the mark.

Just here to make another Bews 286cm joke.But Bews is not small, he is an overly bulked up medium sized player at 286cm and at least 90kg and is no longer quick off the mark.

Have a look at what I spoke about earlier, you may be onto something about professional frees and "controlled gameplay"
Maybe Bews goes straight to Dixon.Just here to make another Bews 286cm joke.
Hinkley: "We're gonna need a bigger Rioli"
I will weep with joy if Jed sends one last shank 30 rows into the crowd.Surely this must be his farewell game?![]()
Maybe Bews goes straight to Dixon.
SDK will come in next week if we play the Dogs with their twin towers + 1. If Hawthorn beat the Dogs then SDK would not be required in the backline but could replace Stanley in the ruck.Bews has certainly come from nowhere to be playing this final. The likes of O’Connor, Mullin and Humphries were to picked ahead of him early to mid season. Was beaten by Rachelle in the Adelaide game, but here we are. With Tuohy needed as a wing, I assume Bews is sub.
SDK as an emergency is a head scratcher. If is fit, surely he plays, but then why play him full game in the VFL on Saturday?
Don't tell Pure_Ownage Bews is named.I will weep with joy if Jed sends one last shank 30 rows into the crowd.
But seriously, what an opportunity for someone who probably thought he wouldn't play an AFL final again. Yes, he struggled on Rachele but I think Rioli is a better match up for him
