Preview Round 7, 2023: St.Kilda v Port Adelaide - Marvel Stadium, Friday 28th April, 7:50PM AEST *WOOD 100TH*

[CaptainRisky]

Are we booing JHF?

Why would you do that , it has nothing to do with us and to be honest its just childish, how would you feel if it was your child or brother copping all that crap

 

[bergholt]

Billings for Pou seems the most like-for-like change, Pou's ToG was low and he looked a bit off, could be the ideal week for a rest.

Yeah that's true, his time on ground so far this year:

74
80
88
82
85
68

68 is obviously a lot lower so might mean his gas tank is a bit low, and only a five day break to recover. Also had zero centre bounce attendances yesterday.

 

[StCicatriz]

I’m booing everyone that doesn’t wear Saints colours!

im booing those who are booing

 

[Ducky Tie]

Phillipou looks like doing special things at any moment, but he also looks a tad off from where he was. His stats read ok, but I think he could benefit from a week off to freshen up, then get him back in for North. He's 18 and has been really impressive. He's a long term asset. Doesn't need to play every game. Having said that, if they think he's fine then it's not urgent. Doing enough to hold his role.

 

[MickG88]

Are we booing JHF?

Yes we are, not because he's been a sook but because Hinkley is a flog for telling people what to do when they pay money to go and voice their opinions.

 

[my name was taken]

Phillipou was crashing packs yesterday, filling the void left by Caminiti. Don't think we rest him and make the forward line smaller, not at least until the suspension is finished.

Wood's 100th

Also third for pressure acts only behind Hill and Owens.

 

[The Punter]

We beat them in 2020 in Adelaide - not so long ago?

We have beaten everyone since Richo left. We last beat Melbourne in Ratts' second game in charge in 2019.

The only teams we haven't beaten since the start of last year are Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Collingwood, Brisbane and Sydney.

So a 19 year old cops it?

Hope you wouldn't want your son treated one that

I'll be embarrassed if we boo him. He's copped his share. Let the North fans go at him but it's nothing to do with us

 

[westernsainter]

We need to be thinking about how we get to september fit and firing.

Settle

 

[Mat Mann]

Sounds a very good chance that Port will be without any of the following this week:

Dixon
Marshall
Georgiades
Jonas
Anyone that remotely resembles an AFL standard option for the ruck. Unless they play Finlayson there, which robs them of his presence forward.

If Dixon doesn’t get up, their only “talls” that would be considered AFL standard would be Allir and Finlayson, by the looks of it.

Wilkie, Battle and co could have a field day in the air.

they had a young bloke that looked top-notch Ollie Lord 197cm 92kg pretty good vs WC for a 1st game KPP'r

 

[Mat Mann]

no we're not, Hinkley may be a flog but we have no skin in the game, just because you pay money doesn't mean you get to be an ass. Pretty sure we got to the footy to enjoy it, not to harass players

Mate it's ****ing professional sport.

We're not talking about the nuffies who spend 24/7 on twitter hounding the life out of individuals for pathetic reasons, be they disgusting or ridiculous.

It's performance theatre: the live audience is and should be an active and contributing part of the game and not sanitised out.

I wouldn't boo him myself, I couldn't have handled the media attention while being away from my support systems at 18/19 either, but his choices are pretty much about a perfect example of the weird phenomenon of things over here that get labeled "unaustralian" as I can think of: and it's to no surprise that a lot of fans would let him know what they think of his character.

Plenty of careers and lifestyles out there where you don't have to deal with that shit if you don't want.

 

[sammm]

The short turn around may play a part in how some pull up

Did Billings play a full game in the VFL?

no, billings played three quarters.

 

[joydivision22]

Unchanged I think for port.

I would be tempted to bring Bytel in for Paton as I thought his disposal was very poor at times which cost us and I’m not a fan of him in the team if he isn’t playing closely on a dangerous small forward which I don’t think he’s been doing (probably because of defensive style).

Think Windy goes to Sandy for a full game and Bytel comes in

 

[George]

I believe the question of booing JHF was tongue in cheek.

And if it wasn't it's serious mongrel campaigner type stuff, we are better than that surely.

 

[The Punter]

I gave up booing after the Goodes stuff. It might be enjoyable for some, but it's not necessary. But I wouldn't contemplate banning it.

We have no reason to boo Horne-Francis at the moment anyway.

 

[St Kilda Death]

port just played wet toast.
They won’t know what hit them by 8pm Friday night.

 

[True Believer]

Except that Sandy has the bye this week......

 

[Mowman]

Only if you’re bogan Flog
He is a 19 year old kid

 

[Mowman]

Oh

 

[joydivision22]

Bye at sandy apparently so would prefer windy as the sub than Bytel.

Don’t think an inside mid is as useful as a sub. I love what Bytel has been doing and want him to get a full seniors game rather than anymore sub time.
Don’t think there is a spot for him though at the moment unless there is an injury to Ross, crouch, Steele or Clark.

 

[botts]

So the booing JHF thing was a joke guys.
