Changes vs Port Adelaide (R11): Frawley, Jetta in for Dawes, Toumpas

[SuburbanMe]

Was having a look at the team match ups - we look good on paper - only questionable thing i see is terlich on wingard - but I reckon he'll go ok.

Should keep him to less than 8?

 

[Captain Jack]

Is JKH on sabbatical?

****.

 

[Captain Jack]

Quite the discussion! Just wanted to reiterate that Jetta completely deserves his place, he's been very good down back so far this year.

 

[SuburbanMe]

would hope for a better outcome than that.

JKH is named on the bench.

 

[Dez!]

Oh how the wheel has turned. I clearly remember a fair bit of dislike for Jetta early this season.

Not me, wanted to give him a go and see what Roos could do with him and I'm not really surprised he's found a role.

How they are lined up on paper isn't how they'll match up, no way in hell would Terlich go to Wingard.

That would be Jetta or Garland that gets the job most likely.

Why would we play someone who can't defend on their most dangerous forward? He can go to Moore or White.

Jetta's got a little incumbency but he's only been in the team because of injuries. He's got to battle with Terlich to keep his gig all year.

 

[schmuttt]

Jetta is in our back 6, he is better defensively as a small than anyone else bar Grimes. Glad he's back and hope he keeps building on his form from the Adelaide game (I didn't think he was that bad vs the Dogs either).

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Bit irritating that Toumpas is an emergency because it means he can't play at Casey, but I'm sure Roosy weighed that up before selecting him.

Not necessarily, we don't know who the travelling emergency will be yet unless someone knows if Toumpas went with them?

I said on paper, and even then I questioned that match up.

Are you talking about the team listing on the AFL website? If so, those things would barely qualify as a tissue of lies.

 

[Djcjdees]

Am I the only person who thinks Jetta's inclusion has got absolutely zero to do with the fact it's Indigenous Round?

He starred in the VFL for a good month, got his chance and was in good nick at AFL level before he went down with a bit of gastro before the Tigers game. Deserves his spot back. That's without even considering the fact there are Wingard and Neade to think about it (I like Jimmy, but prefer Nev if we're talking shutdown defender).

I'd agree with you but it seems to me that it has always been the case that this happens for this round (with most of our aboriginal fellas). It is just that this time his form backs it up.

 

[Demon 16]

Jetty would have come back in no matter what round it was - especially as Port have a plethora of small forwards and goal kicking runners.

That said, I have nothing against picking an indigenous player largely because it's indigenous round - you know they are going to be pumped for the occasion.

This weekend needs to be Mission: drill Wingard.

Seriously - if we drill the shit out of him and make it hard for him to get hands on ball and when he does - hurt him - we'll put a BIG dent in their game.

I'm not saying dog the guy, I'm just saying we should ride the f'er hard and make him hurt when we can.

Port are much more than Wingard , stopping him won't really make any difference

 

[butters88]

You're done.

Zero tolerance for 'nek minut on here

 

[butters88]

Hopefully he is coaching them and they have got rid of hinkly

That's harsh mate... Would love a win but not like that

I reckon it will. It'll take a main avenue to score away from them, allowing our defenders some breathing space. Not saying it's a game winning tactic, but I do think it'd help us out big time.

Another worry I was is Wines. I have a feeling viney may come off 2nd best of they go head to head.

 

[mrmonkey]

There's a lot to say on the issue, I actually think these themed rounds are getting out of control. We are all Australians why have one round dedicated to one race. Anyway on topic was there a change to the team, I heard Harford say on SEN Toumpas late change. I didn't hear anything else just the tail end of that sentence.

I agree he should be in the side, but hasnt he played one good game down back?

 

[Captain Jack]

Ok I didn't read all that but I got the gist... That's quite enough race discussion. Return to game discussion now please.

 

[RandB]

Further to what Captain Jack has said, all off-topic discussion has been moved to its own thread on the 'Hell' sub-board given it was 17 posts and a significant amount of discussion, albeit off-topic.

Please keep on topic in future. The fact that it is indigenous round gave no validity to the manner in which this thread was taken off topic.

Cheers.
