Preview Changes and Preview Brisbane vs Ports @ Gabba, qualifying final thread

[Ported]

JHF to get 38 disposals, 6 goals, 15 tackles and 32 hitouts

 

[Enviable Tradition]

It should be a really good game and we can snatch this one no doubt.

The main differences with this team and the teams of the past are:

1. elite midfield
2. Josh Carr

hopefully doing matchups and not Ken Hinkley - if this is the case, it will be a massive win for us.
3. it is the young guy's team
4. match winners - Rozee, Butters, Horne-Francis, Houston
5. creative play everywhere

Our midfield is better and more classier than their midfield.
The tagging role of Drew should obviously go to Lachie Neale

. If we nullify him, we will go close to winning.
We need an open forward line with Marshall and Finlayson leading hard into space. This is imperative for the win. Their backs can be had.
Their midfield doesn't really kick goals so our defence has to play a bit tighter on their forwards.
They have many good but not great avenues to goal but they all add up. Charlie Cameron

is a star. Daniher can be some serious trouble. Hipwood, Rayner, Bailey can pop up. They share it around.
Ruck is an issue but not as big of an issue as it has been in the past. If the Big O dominates, it will harder to win.

The major matchups down back are for Cameron and Daniher. I'm worried they will put Burton on Cameron.
If Wines plays the in and under role well, we will go close. Ditto Drew.
I can't wait to see a motivated, hard-running Powell-Pepper in the finals again. He could star.
Wings are a little bit of a concern. Run hard and go for your marks, X-Man.
The Hornet could do some things that will wow the AFL.
Our Achilles heel could be kicking straight for goal.
If we get a bit of time to display our skills, we should run over them. We would only need a quarter of loose checking by the Lions to kill the game.

It really is a new team in a way. After Rozee, Butters and Houston getting AA honours, it is time to shine in finals. They are completely capable and have been building for this moment. This will be their first time in which it is on their shoulders to take the team to victory.

I also think the Sex Panther was built for finals. He could do some arousing things on the field.

And I think it is time to let bygones be bygones and get 100% behind the lads and even the coaching staff.
I am not a big fan of Hinkley but I am going to let it go until the year is finished.
It is finals and we don't want negativity.
This is the time of the year to support the lads.
It is an open year in finals and we could nab the Cup and start a freakin' Dynasty people!
And don't you want that swagger back in your walk.
CARN THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is the ruck less of an issue now?

Brisbane get looked after at home by the umpires too.

Expect a few Daniher flops resulting in him kicking a few behinds and OOF

At the start of the year, it was terrible.

Now it is OK.

Go support the crows you were made for them

I suspect that Thunderpants is a Camry Crows supporter.

 

[Contested Marx]

The comma after Gabba should really be a hyphen.

Semicolon

 

[Lagooner]

Shouldn’t it be The Gabba instead of just Gabba? I feel like it sounds a bit off without the “The” at the start.

Brisbane vs Port Adelaide @ The Gabba: Qualifying Final Changes and Preview Thread (to 2024)

 

[portly]

To the CEO of Bigfooty Ltd,

I must express my deep disappointment at the title of this thread to discuss next weekend's Qualifying Final between the second placed Brisbane Football Club and the third placed Port Adelaide Football Club (hereinafter referred to as "the PAFC"), the winner of which will progress to a preliminary final at their home ground in two weeks' time.

In a blatant and unprofessional disregard for good taste, the thread title refers to the PAFC as 'Ports'. This is not and has never been the name of the PAFC. Referring to the PAFC in such a disrespectful and cavalier manner has the potential to cause great confusion and to lower the standing of the club in the eyes of the general public.

Please correct the thread title to refer to the Port Adelaide Football Club in full within twenty-one (21) days, or else you will be hearing from my solicitors.

Sincerely,
Mr S. Z. Fest

Rubbish. I usually say Ports!

Been used by many forever.

****ing hell, I've been busy for two days and I come back and you guys have completely ****ed my preview thread with shitposting and japanese rail analysis.

The thread got worse every time the title got changed, there is a lesson here! I was flipping PUMPED for the final and this has just taken all the wind out of my sails.

It really should be:

[NoddyHolder]

Why is there a new preview thread? Did the og one reach its post limit?

******* hell, I've been busy for two days and I come back and you guys have completely ****ed my preview thread with shitposting and japanese rail analysis.

Nicely put!

I hope you realise this means no sex no drugs no wine and no women.

And a little penis (apparently)

 

[tangolikelama]

Feel pretty good. Butters, Rozee, and JHF are made for finals.

 

[Winganeen]

Hard to tell through the pixilation.

If Australia ever builds a Very Fast Train we should call it Roller.

I heard the Monorail in Sydney used to be referred to as Roller by those in the Monorail Enthusiast groups.

Top 4 should be Thursday and Friday night every time.

Yeh this sucks. See Jono Brown On The Couch? Clearly carrying beef still from Lions mistreatment in '04. He is right in our corner.

 

[Enoch Blaze]

I like the thread title.
