Preview The Swans Redemption Arc Goes On - Sydney vs Port Adelaide - Preliminary Final

[Tedeski]

IN 2012 WE HAD LOST OUR LAST 11 against the filth and won the Prelim !

Yeah that was nice. No reason why we can’t make things right again in this one. Our 2005 & 2012 p’ships just had things go our way.

He literally did this two days ago. he garuanteed Ken will coach Port in 2025.

You guys need not worry any longer about Friday night's game, you've won.

"We exist to ensure Ken has a job" is our new moto, and now that he will be, we aren't playing for anything anymore.

Congrats, hope use belt Geelong.

I really feel for Port supporters like yourself. I couldn't imagine not having faith in our coach, particularly when the feelings are so strong.

I feel as though Adams is the easy call, but Fox is the right call.

That's what he's telling them , why would he say anything else

I call BS, reckon they'd have made the call pretty much straight away after Mills got injured. The only hiccup might be if there is uncertainty over Jussy.

FWIW, I wouldn’t pick Fox

FWIW I WOULD

Yeah, personally I'd like to see Adams back.

Longmire better use the famous words of Winston Churchill before a battle.

"Do or do not. There is no try"

And I thought it was Yoda all that time lol.

Would be very telling if JMac gets picked for this game, not blaming the MC if it goes either way. Tough decision to make.

It's so funny reading all the posts regarding McInerney.
I didn't realise we had so many doctors and physiotherapists on our forum.
May as well sack the ones that the club are paying and just tell the club to refer to the BigFooty page as to whether someone is fit enough or not.

If JM takes the field with enough strapping to hold up the Harbour Bridge, he will provide very little and means we play with 22.5.

I hope to see:

IN - Fox, Adams
OUT - Mills, McInerney

(Do I need to add someone as sub or?)

 

[caesar88]

No mid-week player press conference this week then?

 

[Bloods86]

I hope to see:

IN - Fox, Adams
OUT - Mills, McInerney

If Campbell remains sub, you're ok.

I am worried about this game. The odds are all against us. Not beaten them in the last 8 games, since 2016. Ken seems to have the advantage on Horse.

We have been beaten in the finals indicators against them in every game. Contested possession, clearances & stoppages. They got a record score from centre clearance last game, which was a shocker. We need to change our midfield tactics, attack the ball harder & two way run.

We have been denied the corridor a lot from defence in recent games. That is mainly because we have been taking far too long to set up & kick thx ball out. They set up to intercept where we always go, very predictable.

So, what about changing the set ups coming from defence. I saw some of this in the last quarter last week. We ran the ball more but kicked wide & zig zagged between the wings & corridor. We often set up the up & back leads, with players entering space, then deserting space, leaving space for a teammate to run into. Clever.

I am always worried when we play Port. Simply because we don't beat them. This has gone on far too long & I am certain it is a coaching thing. We need to change a few things if we are going to win. We can't allow Butters, Rosie & co out the defensive side of the stoppage like we did last time on so many occasions. We can't allow their half backs to push up for the receive. We need to lock their running players down, get ball & run off them. If you are on the defensive all the time against them they are a great side. But if you are able to turn defence into attack their mids & forwards drop off. We have to force this to happen.

We can't allow them to get lots of defenders free at the centre line because they will just run the ball in. We need to be mindful & play man on man so nobody has a chance to get free. If we play our general zone, they will create the overlap & destroy us. We need to make every Port player accountable

Past records mean very little to me.
If you want to use the 0-8 record should keep in mind that prior to that we had a 13-1 success record against them. In addition, keep in mind that 6 of those 8 matches we played against them were played in Adelaide.
Do you really think Horse is so stupid that he doesn't understand what is needed to be done.

 

[dosser]

Yeah, personally I'd like to see Adams back.

You should ask him to turn around, then.

 

[caesar88]

If Campbell remains sub, you're ok.

I had Adams as sub and Campbell in the 22. Or did I not do it right?
