Preview Round 5, 2024 vs Fremantle @ Adelaide Oval Changes & Pre-Match Discussion

[Schulzenfest]

Why is Dylan suddenly on the nose, he’s not even listed as an emergency this week. Surely, it can’t just revolve around his current form which can’t be any worse than Lachie’s. Has he played up off field? It just doesn’t make any sense.

I feel like every year this happens to one of our players, seemingly at random.

I suspect it’s his speed.

Because the SANFL is s**t and he's played once in like 6 weeks. They're not going to reverse the decision they've made on him when he isn't playing at all. The good thing is he will finally get a game this week in the SANFL.

This. Not sure why anyone had any SANFL players in their list of ins because of this. They’ve played one game and got their arses handed to them and no one really played that well besides Georgiades.

I reckon Dyl was one of the hardest trainers during the pre season too, regularly updated his social media at the gym or on the track. Gut feel says any player in his situation will ask for a trade at the end of the season which is a real shame considering his reading of the play and skillset

Jordan Sweet with 40 odd hit outs 17 disposals & a goal. I watched that game & liked what I saw.

Dyl must've challenged unmasked Darth Vader in some capacity and will now spend eternity in the depths of hell for not obeying his master.

We have a near 36 year old running around on the wing so I can't suspect it's on the speed of Williams, which is literally the only 'flaw' in his game. It's absolute dogshit too, I genuienly think it's just his running motion which makes him look slow. People talk about it like he's carrying cinder blocks on his feet with each running step.

You act like you dont care but youre probably the most negative, passionate poster on the forum. Go outside for a walk or a dart or pick up painting or yoga with your spare time not watching or “caring” about games. It will do your blood pressure a world of good.

Jordan hasnt even put on the jumper for an afl game worth premiership points and hes already getting s**t on for doing nothing at all. Literally nothing, just numbers hes thrown up in his past. Talking about numbers remember when all the talk about BZT was reverse coleman and now hes more than just a decent backman.

Second rucks tend to put up crap stats because its just a generally s**t possy to play in general unless your a genuine forward first. Saw that with Gawn/Grundy, Lycett/Ryder and glimpses with Darcy/Jackson although Jackson has been in much better form and is learning more forward craft.

If he does get picked its not happy clapping its giving someone a chance at the level you never know what he can produce in a different environment with different teammates. A chance just one before you s**t all over their name and want them banished to all eternity

People talking about the Berzerker and the Reverse Coleman seems like a million years ago.

Zerk-Thatcher was sign, sealed and delivered before he even laced up at boot down at Alberton.

How things change.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I am happy enough with the changes.

We have a pretty good 23 but always with room for improvement.

As a few people have said, some red hot form in the SANFL to put a bit of pressure for spots would be nice.

I wouldn't put too much thought into this effort just yet. Their #1 ruck was injured early in the first quarter and had a pinch hitter rucking for the rest of the game.

where did you hear this?

Far out, it seems like our players are always sick.

Might be due to the sudden change of weather recently.

 

[PortWTF]

Dixon to ruck, yay

Of course he will do the forward line duties when Soldo is off, but will he take centre square ruck contests? I guess he could just do what Finlayson does and not even really contest it.

LOL. Is it possible to ask for a mod to be banned? Asking for a friend...

In the gift area it costs $3000 to ban anyone you want.

I'm currently running a half price special, $1500 to my bank account instead and I'll gladly ban myself.

Yeah, he could definitely be looked at.

I don't have a strong opinion either way.

I'm more wait and see on Mead.

I'll ban him for $1000, PM me for bank details.

If Dixon doesn’t help chop out at the centre bounces, then we may overuse Soldo and cook Dixon further. I wouldn’t mind so much if Lord was available. We all know how Hinks likes to overwork players, when there’s no need to.
I still think bringing in another ruckman wouldn’t have hurt, further develop them too.

Probably the best team Port has put up this year.

Sinn as an emergency is encouraging, may be he is close to a game? But Burgoyne is the one he will probably displace and it’s his position to lose at the moment.
