Preview Round 15 Changes - Port vs Brisbane @ Adelaide Oval

[WillemDaDrew]

Butters will be suspended
Mark it

For one game

 

[TazD]

Is BZT actually that unfit or he just has the poorest body language possible!? FK it's hard watching him play and just prod around

Dudes probably wishing he was back at Essendon.

I agree that he has poor body language but I don't think he's playing poorly.

 

[Cam1870]

Indifference is worse than hate.
It doesn't matter who is in or out this week. It's all just treading water until someone finds a pair of balls in the boardroom.
Still waiting.

 

[powerfan07]

We need Rioli back while Lord finds his feet he's our only small forward who knows how to crumb for the big guys

 

[simba_]

we don't need Rioli back, we need to lose many games in a row

 

[bomberclifford]

Saturday afternoon game.
Not sure I can be bothered with, it to be honest.

I'm predicting that we'll slide quite a bit from here.
Not ideal but it should rid us of the Stinkleys.

What a wasted year.

 

[Chrizzt]

Our fitness looks like a big problem. Been on the slide since burgess left. The GWS game looked particularly poor. We can’t make that up in a week. I wouldn’t think.

Wtf? Burgess left 7 bloody years ago now and there was nothing wrong with our fitness in the last few years. Guy was an absolute snake oil salesman anyway

Ian McKeown was very good and corrected Burgess's mad scientist phase. But as others have already said, when Mackers left and we yet again found the best candidate in the corridors of Allan Scott HQ, the slide started. Now we lack physical presence and endurance, it's a unique blend.

[Ford Fairlane]

I never thought I would say this but I'm finding it really hard to care.

That pile of slop they served up on Sunday finally killed my appetite.

And still the head chef is employed.

Is it better for Ken financially if he gets sacked?
Maybe he’s doing the old public service trick to maximise his payouts.

 

[Chrizzt]

At this stage what do we have to lose by picking anasta? Worst case scenario he plays as poor as Evans / mcintee do every week.

Mac and Evans have played 5 games together this year. Accounting for being subbed on/off they have played 12 quarters of footy on field together.

In that time they have kicked a total of 3 goals 2 behinds - two of those goals being against Melbourne in Q1. So that's 11 quarters of footy where one third of our forwardline has been absolutely non-existent.

I sense it has more to do with guaranteeing the son has a strong resume and the missus still gets to spend up big.

Anyway, I smell a 10 goal loss coming, season being effectively over and Ken rolling out the Butters and Dixon excuses.
Finishing 8 and 15 is still a real possibility with this clownshow.

 

[b0ydman Jr]

I reckon Ken will do
OUT: Mac'N'Cheese, Evans
IN: Rioli, Finlayson

While Brisbane are improving, unfortunately I think we'll win by 3 goals

Yep it's where i'm at.

Haven't been a Hinkley fan since 2016 but i've always hoped that we still had the talent to get it done no matter who was the coach.

Tried my best to be positive too but i'm completely out of gas now.

Imagine how good it is going to feel for that first game when he is gone.

Hope I live that long.

Would you believe me if I told you Port could have averted this by letting his contract expire on October 31 last year, and then simply not renewing it.

Accountants hate me because of this one simple trick!

But, but, 20 year coach.
Thats what Kochie said.

 

[wayb2912]

We are really lacking goal scoring power without SPP and Rioli, Evans and Mcintee are not even looking like scoring

 

[PortWTF]

Even though we haven't been playing well, we're definitely in with a chance against Brisbane, who tend to play top 4 footy in parts and then completely fall asleep for a quarter. I suspect it will depend on how straight Daniher and Hipwood can kick for goal will determine the outcome, as we usually get enough chances ourselves at home.

 

[The Hobo]

McEntee was dropped a little while back but injuries got in the way of that.

Burton was also dropped and injuries brought him back.

If they get good supply, they'll brain us.

There is no way Hipwood has 3 good games in a row, despite the fact he has spudded us apart before. It will most likely be Cameron or Rayner again
