Autopsy Round 15 vs Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 26th June, 4:10pm AEST

Agree, but adding Ben Ainsworth to that list.

Our forward line is so much more potent in the last 6 weeks with both Ranks and Benny playing so well.

And both got dropped last year.

Which is one reason why I hope we stay with the list build model of Draft + Internal Improvement + Pick Off some smaller free agents (Ellis, Chol) to play a role. There is plenty of untapped potential in the 24 and unders, some of whom can be A grade or elite (AA squad level).

I think one or two more Ellis types can always be useful. By 'Ellis types', I mean solid role players who have been to the highest level.

Not so much for what they bring on field (although that doesn't exactly hurt), but more the experience of having won premierships and knowledge of what is required to get there, both in terms of the work required and in how a team must work together.

Of course, this always comes with the 'for the right price' condition.

as a confirmed absence under the protocols.

Power gun in isolation, father-son duo in mix for debut

Port Adelaide will be without Darcy Byrne-Jones for Sunday's clash

Will be at the game cheering you guys on.

Would be a massive win if you can pull it off.

Glad the club is backing him in, it's the right decision I feel

 

[Southern Sun]

Burgess, rosas and bowes in for the 3 injuries. Guessing atkins as sub.
Bowes must be rotating with the backs.
Great chance for Farrar and Markov to really make a name for themselves with the injuries we have at the moment. Been impressed with farrar particularly so far this season hope he continues his rise

If any Japanese bloke has a massive shlong it's Alex Davies.

@Iva Bigun you're Japanese, right?

 

[The Kings Ransom]

How going without a ruck is helping Port move the ball, and why it might impact the rest of the league

As Port Adelaide takes a no-ruck approach to their footy, Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson ask whether the move is sustainable - and will other clubs follow suit?

Im so pumped for this game. I hope it lives up to the expectations

 

[Macca180]

Huge game... win this, play finals.

Not easy there.

 

[GC2015]

Aliir v Chol should be a good match up. Both similar players in terms of athleticism and height.

I assume Jonas will take Casboult and McKenzie will take Burgess.

Who takes Rankine? He's obviously the danger man.

Calm down mate, it’s a football.

 

[Us against the rest]

Just heard today that David Koch has stated that Hinkley will be at Port next year.

Time for you guys to play your best footy and give Hinkley a footy lesson, or the campaigner will be our coach forever.

Yes I mean it, go Suns.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

So Fiorini is the sub.

Is it a bit unusual that the other 3 emergencies are all playing VFL?
What happens if someone gets injured in the warm up?

We've never won there in our short history. Time to buck that trend tomorrow!

Not really.

Got to get game time into them and keep the fringe players in form/match fit.

 

[Iva Bigun]

@Iva Bigun you're Japanese, right?

LOL, no or my name would be “vending machine knickers”


I’ve been there a couple of times and it’s great, people, food, Sumo, transport. It’s off topic but I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going. Oh and my **** looks huge over there

 

[GC2015]

Prior to this season we'd also never won at Optus Stadium or TIO Stadium. It's a season of many firsts for our club!

My guess there will be a few people fly over tonight or in the morning.. couple coaches and players

Every home team has won so far

 

[Jessbek]

So correct me if I'm wrong, but if pies lose and we win by x we are in the 8?

We’d need to win by around 50+. Wishful thinking but would be great to see it happen.
