Preview Round 14 - Port v GWS GIANTS @ Sydney Showground

[Sewer de Lance]

There are two worse small forwards than Narkle in this named side alone.

Narkle will be delisted by years end, & yes Jed is probably worse then him. Like I said, our list depth must be extremely thin if these guys are getting called up.

 

[JimmyBC]

Can’t even lie that list of ins and outs has given me a semi. Almost enough for me to change my tip to Port, but then I remember this is exactly the game where the Giants will play themselves back into form and get the belief that they can go on and win the flag.

The ins have given me an actual interest in the game for a change, I'll probably regret feeling this way by half time.

 

[JimmyBC]

The thing is does Hinkley have the brains to let this lineup roll for a few weeks or will it be hurr durr bring Dixon back next week he kicked a goal in the SANFL and looked angry gee gaw gah.

 

[Scodges]

What excuse was given for losing this weekend?

Something something learning, unlearning

Nice to see some real changes for once.

Davies: Kenny, we need to make some drastic changes to the side as the white noise is becoming deafening.
Donuts: Make whatever changes you want as long as McEntree is still in the team. I'm busy watching the Dapto Dogs.

 

[Adz2332]

We have McEntee and Evans running around in the 22 and people are unhappy about giving narkle a crack? Lol

I will select the latter.

 

[snozulu]

Lorenz should be getting a game this week. Form has been better than some of those fringe players.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Let me guess because I can’t be ****ed reading the article one if those people is cassisi?

A couple of ex-Port Adelaide premiership stars can see a similarity between the 2004 Power side and the current Giants team they lead.

Why would Cassissi think the Giants resemble 2004 Port? Its Kingsley and Montgomery.

They're also the players in the picture.

Monty and Kingsley

Of course when we drop this game it will be vindication to Hinkley that we should be playing Hinkleyball to Dixon all along.

50mil rain and 20 more to come

50mil rain and 20 more to come

Wasn’t that wet at Olympic Park. Most of the rain stuck to the coast last night.

Sydney got 70mm, Olympic Park only got 13mm over night. They are predicting 4-15 today and none tomorrow.

Should be pretty good conditions come game time. But very cold.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Just having a look at the ins and outs.

Happy to see Dixon out, his form has been dreadful.
Happy to see Finny as well and hopefully he gets some form back.
Happy to see Burton out but I wish it was an omission and not an injury.
Not happy to see Lachie Jones omitted.

Happy to see Rozee and Lord back.
I like Dylan but I'm lukewarm because I like the potential of Jones but I'll give him a go.
Not that happy with Narkle. He's OK.

Happy we are going in with one less tall and one more small.

Very unhappy that McEntee and Evans are still in the side. That is a borderline joke.

I'm a tad worried our medium defenders will be too slow for Toby Greene

, Bedford and Daniels and our medium forwards are not skilled enough and be burnt with the run off half back.

A good test for the team.

 

[yepits2020]

Well, I suppose Williams and Narkle did have a reasonable game in the last SANFL game. Williams though was slower than an iceberg in his last AFL game and will be a weak point for us which a good coach will exploit.

 

[Ah12]

Should be Tommy A and Lorenz in. We know what those two you mentioned bring. Time to see what the youth has to offer as it would be near on impossible to offer less than those two.

 

[Willsy10]

I couldn't believe it when last game they brought Dixon in and left Finlyason in the team. So I think it should have been Dixon for Finn last game and now Lord for Dixon.

Probably a fair call. I think 3 talls in the forward line is enough, but I thought they mightn’t go down that path until Rioli is back so we’ve least got a small forward weapon.

At the moment it’s 3 talls and a couple pressure forwards.

I’m assuming rozee and jhf might spend a bit of time forward.

Jones still in the side according to The Advertiser. No Wines.

I guess we should be thankful they didn't name Lade in the ruck.

Sorry I was being sarcastic. Anyone who thinks that this team under donuts is anywhere near the 2004 side has rocks in their heads. When I was young and care free back in 2001-2004 I followed port religiously with many trips interstate etc. That team had its issues with finals but was no near as flakey or mentally inept as the current team is. I sat in the 3rd of the Olympic stand at the G on September 25th 2004 and had no fear as to what Port Adelaide would show up that day. Twenty years later and the club resembles nothing of what it was and that is on Koch, Richardson, Davies, Hinkley and the current board.

Ummm not what they said though. The comparison to Port 2004 is Giants 2024 not Port 2024.

Are you already on the red?

As I said, didn’t read it. And no I haven’t had a drink in over 2 weeks as I have been recovering from developing pneumonia a week and a bit back. The joys of a suppressed immune system

No wonder you're angry!

Take it out on Hinkley, we understand.

Pneumonia is awful, been there, definitely don't want to do that.

Not sure I can watch the game tomorrow as it will increase my anger

It hasn’t been fun. Not as bad thankfully as my last bout, which landed me in hospital.
