Preview Round 2, 2022: Port v Hawthorn, AO 7.40pm, Saturday 26th March

[Strapping Young Lad]

Changes and all that in here.

Lynch will be out, but McEvoy and Breust will be back.

Also....

 

[WWSD]

I think Phillips stays given his impact coming off the bench playing only 40% TOG.

Grainger-Barras I have a feeling will be the unlucky one.


IN: McEvoy, Breust

OUT: Lynch (injured), Grainger-Barras (omitted)


B: Hardwick, Frost, Jiath

HB: Scrimshaw, Sicily, Maginness

C: Morrison, Mitchell, Phillips

HF: Wingard, Gunston, Nash

F: Breust, Lewis, Moore

R: McEvoy, O’Meara, Worpel

INT: Newcombe, Shiels, Reeves, Ward, MacDonald (Sub)

 

[Walshawk]

Out - Lynch, Wingard (it was like he and Moore had a bet as to who could drops the most marks. Chad won)
In - McEvoy, Bruest
Finn was ordinary until that last play where he goaled, but he stays. Philips the sub again

 

[Pessimistic]

This would be a game where hartigan is considered

Port Adelaide have a relatively small forward-line. Hartigan will be needed Round 3 against Carlton.

Was thinking they have a gorilla. Did he retire?

 

[madhawksfan]

Up against the flat track bullies at their home deck adding McEvoy, Day and Bruest will be handy.

In: McEvoy Bruest Day
Out: Lynch Phillips Worpel

Finn and Nash had around the same number of touches and more impact. Plus, they’re both more versatile than Worpel, who unfortunately is inside mid or bust at this stage.

Ward was proppy apparently so he might miss, in which case Worps stays.

I doubt the above will happen but it is based on output today.

 

[Bardo State]

Hard to even project changes given the covid spike.

I think if DGB playing a game like he did today would get him dropped then he wouldn't have been selected in the first place.

 

[JoeHawk]

Out - Lynch, Wingard (it was like he and Moore had a bet as to who could drops the most marks. Chad won)
In - McEvoy, Bruest
Finn was ordinary until that last play where he goaled, but he stays. Philips the sub again

No way Wingard will be dropped especially playing Port next week. He was ok last quarter with the two goals.

 

[HedgeFund]

In: McEvoy, Breust
Out: Lynch, Worpel

Sorry, but James has slid backwards as a player ever since the end of 2019. Zero progression. He was awful in the PM against Richmond and equally as poor today.

Needs a wake up call. Heaps of guys are in better form and that’s what a good club does, drops players who are out of form.

looked to cop a leg injury was very ordinary during match surprise if he plays.

 

[Billyc]

If fit and healthy Day, Breust and McEvoy all come in

Lynch Phillips and Worpel out for me. If someone (Ward?) is injured, one of Phillips / Worpel survive

I don’t think we can play all 3 of O’Meara Finn and Worpel. They fumble, get caught and use it poorly. Until Q4 I’d have thought Finn would make way but I reckon he deserves another go after a good fourth quarter. Worpel has continued on from his poor performances from last year. It’s concerning.

 

[JoeHawk]

Port hit with a few significant injuries including Aliir Duursma and Mackenzie.

 

[Bugs1977]

Power apparently decimated after their game against the Lions and could be without Allir, Rozee, Duursma, Butters and Gray.

Power ‘decimated’ with ‘fears of serious injury’ for Aliir; Cameron’s promising update: Casualty Ward

Those are some big outs if true.

We generally go allright over in Adelaide so we are not without a sneaky chance....

 

[parsons nose]

Can’t believe people aren’t picking Day. If he got through todays hit out, he’s a must.

in: Day, Breust, McEvoy, Kosi
Out: Maginess, Worpel, Nash, Lynch

Would like to see Mitchell persist with, DGB, Ward and MacDonald

 

[RX Hawk]

In: McEvoy Bruest Day
Out: Lynch Phillips Worpel
Some of the seniors need to lift Tom, Wingard, Shiels, and O'meara.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Gee, a lot of you want to swing the axe after a win.

Out: Lynch, Phillips
In: McEvoy, Breust

If Day is being brought straight back in then I'm not sure who makes way for him. I feel like Finn deserves some continuity.
Shiels to sub perhaps?

Not a matter of swinging the axe. More that clear best 22 players are likely to be available.

 

[MercurialHawk26]

For those listing Phillips as an out, he was sub so really he can’t be part of the changes from our 22.

Big boy for lynch and another starter for Breust. No idea who would go for Day if he is ready

 

[Slainte]

I would be surprised if Nash was dropped. He was pretty handy today. With Breust coming in, it will probably be MacDonald who misses. On form alone, it would be Worpel but he has a fair bit of credit in the bank. McEvoy for Lynch is a no-brainer. I m expecting Day to get another conditioning game before a call-up.

 

[TylerDurden]

Day has to play if fit. They rested him at 3 qtr time today. Ready to go.

 

[Mercy Seat]

in: Day, Breust, McEvoy, Kosi

Nash?

 

[Randy Campbell]

Nash plays.

 

[VandoHawk]

I don't envy the selectors, all of our 'bottom 6' players performed really well and we certainly didn't lack effort.

I think Worpel has to make way for Breust. Big call but we look worse when he's attending centre bounces & he isn't as effective in a secondary position as our other players. Wasn't great in the preseason matches either. Dominating BH might give him back a bit of confidence.

No clue who makes way for Day. Maginness's kicking may cost him but his running power and consistent efforts in the fourth quarter were fantastic.
