Preview R23: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Murphy on the bench! Never been so excited to hope someone is a sub before

I'm looking forward to that announcement more so than the game itself

Yes, I have a problem

 

[cleanhands]

Haha not me, can't say I've found many around SA

More luck than knowledge

 

[fuic08]

More luck than knowledge

I'm going to hold on tight to that

 

[Crows I Am]

Gollant in for his farewell game? I would have preferred Dowling in, and then Fog, RT and Curtin as the 3 talls.

Although Gollant has played well in a showdown before so hopefully he can do it again this week.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Bench

Hopefully sub & won't complain about the changes.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Gollant 8 goals against the worst team in the comp... 2 goals in the previous 3 weeks with zero impact doesn't really fill me with confidence

Has kicked 4 goals in a showdown previously... more than either Fog or Thilthorpe I think.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Gollant will be delisted so it is so AFC to play him.

Doubt it.

Could be traded though if Lukosius is traded in.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

There form is a bit underestimated at the moment. They are going as well as anyone. Smashed Dogs , beat Hawthorn, Geelong (away), Carlton away

They are going nicely -JHF is the concern and could be the difference for them if they get a win

JHF is their main weapon.

Should we play Bond on him instead of Rioli?

 

[Dangerousfield]

Like the look of the named side, think it will be close. Murphy to sub role as he transitions out of the side permanently from 2025.

Give us a good chance against the sputtering and Chadless Swans next week too.

 

[BucketsNj]

You wonder why players get mental health issues.
He may or may not be undeserving of his spot but the way Murphy gets treated on this board and on various podcasts is really nasty.
This isn’t a secret website, everything is public and he is a human being.

 

[SellarStardom]

Smith not even in the emergencies again, same with McHenry, but the negative is that neither Edwards or Ryan are either

Be interesting to see how the boys go

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Better give me a fishing hot spot

Don’t tell anyone, always got a bite or two here.

[I Lost My Keays]

I would look at Bond for tagging JHF

 

[Eddie Murphy]

I would look at Bond for tagging JHF

Maybe when he floats forward. Berry on JHF in midfield for mine. Matches him with burst and can hold a tackle.

 

[Stripple]

Seems like another tunnel vision selection - fair chance he is delisted at the end of the season - but picked because he kicked a bunch of goals.
To be fair though not sure if we get much out of playing berg or burg either.

 

[Crows I Am]

Has kicked 4 goals in a showdown previously... more than either Fog or Thilthorpe I think.

More than Fog, Thilthorpe kicked 5 against them last year.

Would be happy with that too.

We need to put some work into JHF.

If Gollant plays well he might be able to help turn himself into ANB if Luko coming

Happy to see what he’s got and boost any value if it comes off , if it doesn’t then nothing ventured nothing gained

Also happy if Curtin plays around the ball mostly then occasional stunts up forward

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Would be happy with that too.

Reckon our midfield actually matches up pretty well with Rozee and Butters. We’ve yet to matchup on a fully firing JHF, who’s a contested beast and point of difference compared to the other two.

Curtin seemed to get a bit lost when on ball last week. I think he would be better off playing mainly up forward and then push up around the ball during general play. Give him some time to build confidence and get used to the speed of the game before he plays on ball.

Berry, Crouch and Rankine should do well.

No , he’s been playing sanfl on ball and that’s where he’s been training and playing for 6 weeks and doing well

Young guys - we need to show patience and not jump at shadows , let him settle and get more experience on ball . It’s what we call out for all the time ie opportunities for young guys

Re playing forward he can do it for sure but hasn’t been playing there and also need to be careful Re getting carried away with last quarter when heat out of game

but at least we know he can do it and is sure to spend time there for sure

Yep JHF is something else and is a dual midfield and forward threat

He’s the biggest game breaker from either side out there on sat night , Rankine prob next

They’re the 2 danger men

TT once kicked 5 in a showdown.
