Preview Changes and Preview Thread vs Bombers

[OneGreatClub]

Geez a nine day break

 

[afl2004]

David King doing some analysis on Port.

JHF, Boak, Butters, Drew making clearances #2 in the AFL for metres gained from stoppages.

Also #1 for clearance from stoppage by hand.

Which show was this

 

[Tibbs]

The bloke who s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ is our actual coach

 

[Sleezy]

Wonder if the defensive numbers have anything to do with playing two games in the wet, one against the worst team in the comp, and one against the miserly and defensive St Kilda?

Let's see how they hold up against the more attacking bombers and dees.

 

[Powerade 08]

We are always one of the top defensive sides going purely off stats. Not a story.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Which show was this

Something on Fox, a mate was sending me running commentary

 

[AlbertPower]

It was on AFL 360 last night.

 

[Doctor Feel]

We are always one of the top defensive sides going purely off stats. Not a story.

lol because we flood all our mids back to help out an undersized defence, but then can't score the other way.

I remain surprised that Bonner would keep his spot after last week.
It means we're going in with at least three very weak links:
Jonas, Teakle, Bonner.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I really like playing Jonas on principal (captain) and literally no other reason. Teakle was like all time worst on and sticks around lol.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Jonas playing to have his retirement game against norf and just going full Alastair Lynch against the influencers would get him in to the hall of fame.

 

[Julia#13]

Pretty obvious what will happen. They'll try to go like for like:
Dumont for Duursma, Lord for Marshall, and one of Bonner/Williams/Burgoyne for Jonas.

Only Marshall deserves to be in.

 

[Wargreymon90]

I think it will be:

In: Marshall, Jonas, Bonner
Out: Lord, Burgoyne, Duursma

 

[raptalia]

No point in melting about Jonas he was always going to play. I note that Darcy Byrne-Jones

is named in defence, so much for the forward experiment. I actually thought we got something out of DBJ up forward.

named as I/C for the Port Magpies. I would say Scott has some issues as there appears to be some doubt about his ability to run out a full game.

 

[TeeKray]

Dumont near the ins is ******* disgusting

Dumont is pretty solid really, there's plenty of worse players we could pick and in fact have picked.

 

[manureid]

Playing Jonas feels like ongoing testimonial games. But we are never not going to play him because they painted themselves in to a corner by making him captain.

 

[Festerz]

I note that Darcy Byrne-Jones is named in defence, so much for the forward experiment.

THIS is madness IF it actually happens.

DBJ was in a deep form slump until put up forward this year. He has said he loves the role and he has excelled.

On match ups with the Dons forward line it makes zero sense.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Dumont is a fine sub
