Team Vs Port Adelaide - POWER OUT

[True North]

Power out is a huge positive.

Watt has to stay in, they have too many marking forwards for us to play a completely inexperienced backline.

A bit concerned about the 4 talls, Port are very fast. Maybe Petrie tags C.Cornes and kicks 10 on the non chasing inbred pig.

I have faith this Saturday night which is more than last Friday night, when I went to $ Black Hole Dome and feared a massacre.

I know what u mean DR. What's everyone got against Shannon W? The bloke is a dead set gun!

 

[Jonnoo]

Reasonably happy with the this team, given who's not available. A few have pointed out Greenwood being dropped, I gotta say I also have a gut feel about him, he definitely has a red hot go, and although he made a few blunders last week, another week or two might have seen him really break out and establish himself.

Glad Warren is getting another week and Scotty M. is in the FL. With Ross and Campbell scooting around Hales feet, and Harro and Swallow giving us some midfield grunt - perhaps its time to start turning this season around.

I was talking about the perception that we are too tall. They have Lade, Brogan, Tredrea and Cornes. Aren't they just as tall as our big guys.

 

[Zondor]

Is it just me or do others think that some people only be truly happy with selections if every bloke chosen was under the age of 21 and shorter than 190 cm's?

It's just you.

Yeah young Shazza Watt has stands the mark better then anybody else in the AFL.

 

[TROOROO]

Greenwood back in, please...

Laidley, do not drop Ross even if he doesnt have an immediate impact.

I wouldnt include Cornes as a 'tall' in the context we are using it. He is fairly agile, quick and got fast hands and feet. He doesnt take an age to get the ball and when he does get it he doesnt take a year and a half to get the ball to boot. He may be tall but doesnt necessarily have to play tall (although he probably could if required).

Im still a bit perplexed why Watt is in that team, we know he cant really outmark or spoil the taller blokes (and some shorter) and he doesnt have a specific requirement for his type down back. We have a forwardline chock full of taller guys so he doesnt really need Watt to create any sort of mismatch. And we have 4 ruckman if need be so no need to ruck him. Can't see where he will play.

Barring that 'non-decision' at this stage I think we can probably sum up our changes as:

In: Attacking
Out: Defensive

Is this an indication we are going to take them on, have we signalled our intentions?

 

[Ghostwriter]

Very ironic that Power is out the week we play the Power.

That's not irony, it's coincidence.

How does Watt staying in help us to deal with their marking forwards?

 

[giantroo]

Playing Grima and any other youngster that have shown signs will at least tell the supporters their intentions of what the club is after. Every single lone cell on here would know that we are no chance in hell to win anything so why try and continue to play players that wont be there to play in our next premiership?

 

[rickety]

will Wells and Campbell run out of legs as they are both returning from injury and will be expected to get about a bit? are they both fit? am more than happy Ross is in, about time!! Goldstein?? well only time will tell. Watt? well he was a nothing selection last week and the luckiest bloke of all is Hale. at least he will make Goldstein seem agile and fleet of foot.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Watt is needed to out-bustle Lade or Tredrea, or possibly to outsmart Motlop.

 

[NMFC ALWAYS]

No offence to Sam himself coz i'm sure he is a great bloke , but i'm glad he is out .

He was worse than ever before last week and it just had to happen !

On the other hand i feel he will make his way back into the team considering Wellsy is still under a injury cloud .

 

[Mav]

Lower was on 5AA last night and S. Rowe talked about how Lower had cemented his spot. Lower then went on to talk about Power standing up as one of the next genertion of leaders. Know we know why Lower turned to pwho.

Wish Greenwood was given the same chances as Thomas.

 

[jezaroo]

Out: Pessimism
In: Optimism

 

[BoomerRoo]

Teams starting to come together, but I would have loved to see Levi hold his spot.
I think Grima must have been close for Watt, and I would've loved to see Sam Wright come in for some experience...... maybe instead of the extra tall in Goldstein?

 

[Zondor]

Watt?

 

[Zondor]

How does Watt staying in help us to deal with their marking forwards?

Only Dean Laidleys knows the answer to that question.

Who will play in our next Premiership gr?

 

[Rippednew1]

Are you the Devils advocate or just the Devil?

 

[rickety]

How does Watt staying in help us to deal with their marking forwards?

well it doesn't. he has to play this week to attempt to justify his nothing selection last week.

 

[RooBoyz24]

Its good to see Ross get a game.Would like to see more of greenwood i hope he gets another run this season.I am pretty happy with the team now all we need is a win.

 

[NICK_ROOBOY83]

Great to see Ross in finally, also Power and Lower need to go back and play some VFL.

I'd still like to see Jonesy in, possibly for Thomas.

 

[Zvim]

Yep. LAND OF THE GIANTS.

How in the Hell Hale wasn't dropped is beyond me.

And as for Shannon Watt........

Port has a lot of tall options, who do you want to play on them?
