Preview Round 14 - Port v GWS GIANTS @ Sydney Showground

[TeeKray]

Somehow we still don't have a preview thread for this game so here it is.

But I don't really care enough about it to post anything of substance so here's a recap of last time we played at this ground way back in 2013.

AFL Tables - Greater Western Sydney v Port Adelaide - Sun, 16-Jun-2013 1:10 PM - Match Stats

We won by 75 points.

It was Ken Hinkley's 10th game as coach (next weekend will be his 261st).

Some of the stat lines are wild.

Cam O'Shea reminded us all of Cam O'Shea with 30 disposals and 2 goals en route to 3 Brownlow votes.

Boak had 29 and kicked 3(!). Monfries 30 and 3 goals. Wingard 31 and 1 goal. 5 minute fireman 34 and 1 goal.

Butchachaaa a hero as always with a couple of snags.

Geez those stats and players feel like it was a lifetime ago

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Assuming Rozee and Rioli are fit, they come in for Dixon and Evans.

I don't think they're ready to play Lord yet, so Marshall, Georgie and Finlayson to play as the 3 mobile talls, Finlayson to do the ruck chop out.

Would love to see Tommy A get a run but can only see it happening if Rioli isn't fit. Forget the pipe dreams of McEntee or DBJ being left out of the forward line. McEntee gets a chance to redeem his last effort on Whitfield. Good luck.

Get ready for another Hinkleydance, this is the sort of game where they save his bacon again.

 

[Capital Power]

Giants have only played 3 games at "home" so far this year for two easy wins and a last start loss against the dogs. I feel they've hit a mid-season speed bump, so are definitely beatable.

Whether we win or not depends on whether we turn up. All of the recent media would suggest that this is perhaps doubtful and that 8-4 is perfectly adequate to give Mr 261 another unwarranted extension.

Results so far during bye week have gone out way, and we all know what that means.

Expect the Green and Greene show to run amok, untagged and unhindered.

 

[Marmozet]

• Not favourites to win
• Not at Adelaide Oval
• Hidden and buried in the Sunday Twilight slot
• Only 5,000 in attendance

This is the way we prefer it so I can see us pulling out one of those wins.

Where's the thread for our game against the bye?

The Bye is outright favourite with the bookies, so no one is interested in doing a thread for it.

That guy in the suit at least pulls some ladies.

Have we lost yet

Shows how much we care.

We may well win, but up there it will be tough. They play a lot better at home.

Ultimately I'm still too broken from our last choke against Carlton to muster any interest in even watching this. Might let the wife organise a mother in law visit at the same time. Even that'd probably be more enjoyable than watching our crap.

FUKCIN' PUMPED!!

On that basis Junior Rioli looks doubtful.

 

[Buget]

This game is actually in my neighbourhood, but struggling with the motivation.

1600 start, will be lucky to be home by 2100 and then an early start the next day.

I suppose it is a free ticket.

[Bump Bailey]

We’ll lose and it’ll be our fault as fans for having the temerity to exist.

 

[Dazalinko1988]

4-5 goal loss with the typical "we'll learn from this we're a good team but not a great team we'll review the game" dribble f*#kin dribble Kenny the waffle shit king hinkley

Where's the thread for our game against the bye?

Wish we could have another bye. My liver has enjoyed an alcohol free week!

Here’s a recap of the last time we played GWS in a minor round game

We won by 75 points.

It was Ken Hinkley’s 244th game as coach.

Changes from that game will be, at least

Some of the stat lines are wild.
Sam Hayes with more possessions than hit outs (13-12)
Jed McEntee with double digit possessions and a goal.

JHF 27 possessions, 3 goals en route to 3 Brownlow votes.
Butters, Rozee and Wines with 90 possies and 2 goals cumulative.

Bergman 3 goals, Rioli 3, Marshall 3.

Geez those stats and players feel like it was a lifetime ago

Sadly, this game also feels like it was a lifetime ago.

It’ll be an interesting game , tricky one I’d suggest .
If Soldo holds his own in the ruck it’ll help .
I get the feeling Rioli will miss again , you don’t want to rush a calf .
Our mid/small defenders need to keep their head over the ball , I’d give BZT a run in the 2’s and bring in Williams for one more shot before his papers are marked .

Burton Ratogalea Jones
Williams Allir Farrell
Boak Rozee Burgoyne
Bergman Marshall Drew
Anastasopolous Georgiades Byrne Jones
Soldo Horne Francis Butters

Wines McEntee Mead Finlayson

Sub Dixon

That being said I would like to drop Jones , Burton and McEntee but the replacements with Sinn , SPP and Rioli out aren’t there

Say that forward lineup 3 times quickly!
I'd swap Bergman and Burton's positions, frankly.
