Preview Changes & Preview for Semi Final 2 vs Hawthorn @AO

[Shaucob_Burjan]

4 talls is insane

 

[Alberton Proud]

Why do they keep saying an unlucky Jed lol?

That's an unlucky star moite

 

[Lefti93]

Holy shit, just realised the lump stays in. fuaaaaaaaaaaaark

 

[Skindy]

Does Rat go back and DBJ forward?

Keep Ratugolea a mile away from our backline. Turns the ball over inside defensive 50 at least once per game. He has no clear match up in the Hawks forward line either.

 

[SSSSSS]

4 talls is insane

I couldn't resist.

Hope it's a great game tomorrow. I still get nightmares of Tredders ripping us a new one on the regular back in the day so I'm never going to into a game against you lot with an easy mind.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Impey and Amon sitting next to each other. How about that.

 

[chachi11]

Marshall to play higher up the ground chf would be good. His delivery is generally excellent. Shame he'll be kicking it to bollard Dixon and Rats.

[FishingRick04]

Was still holding the ball for mine plus the dodgy Jonas call for holding a minute prior!

 

[Willsy10]

That Jonas call was a disgrace

He pulls the ball in and lays on it.

 

[Brian McGee]

Todd Marshall is taking a massive risk playing here. I really hope this doesn't end badly for him.

On skill Todd is the obvious inclusion tommorow, but my god, if we’ve risked him early cause Hinkley wants to save his own bacon I’ll go bunta.

It’s been over a month since his concussion. This is the most conservative port has ever been and if naming him this week is a risk then he should be retiring.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

How’s the holding the ball free against Lake?

And Kochie clapping - wtf!!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

So DBJ staying back. Tsk

Maybe not, Aliir, BZT and Bergman will be the tall defenders, LEvans, Jones and Sinn the small. Burgoyne and even Rozee could rotate back there.

Depends how they set up the forward line, you wouldn't think all 4 talls would be up there all the time.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Someone needs to remind me,

Have we had Bergman, Esava, Aliir and BZT as the main backs at all this year?

Bergman can play small.

 

[Rising Power]

No one crying about our selection depth like Carlton and Collingwood all year. Lord, Williams, Clurey, Lorenz the next options, then a handful of 0 gamers who will get destroyed.

Edit: I'm assuming Soldo is injured again

 

[snozulu]

unlucky. piss off never earned his spot in the first place

 

[pstew2dstew]

Ken in the presser said Burton was OK?

Is this 4d chess?

Last week Ken was being criticised for not playing some ducks and drakes. Now he’s being criticised for not being transparent.

My guess, Burton got a text from a Hawks player to say we’re going to hit you hard so he’s hiding.

4 talls is insane

We can totally out mark Hawthorn in the forward line getting lots of set shots on goal.

Because that 4 tall forward game plan totally worked for the Adelaide Crows in round 20.

Well for 1 quarter at least. Then it didn't go so well after quarter time.

 

[PJ Power]

That was weird.

Ken in the presser said Burton was OK?

That was just weird. Hinkley emphatically denying that Burton was under a cloud, and then soon after the press conference the club ruling him out.

The presser was made B4 the fitness test

Soldo is ok, but he's only had 1 game in the ruck in the SANFL.

Because that 4 tall forward game plan totally worked for the Adelaide Crows in round 20.

Well for 1 quarter at least. Then it didn't go so well after quarter time.

We are basing selection on the principle that if we play all of Ratugolea, Marshall and Dixon forward, then we should get the equivalent return of at least 1 tall forward having a good game. That is absolutely best case scenario and is terribly flawed, especially as all three are completely out of form and two are under serious fitness clouds. We're effectively accepting that we will lose three positions in our forward line and allow the opposition to run it out of there without any opposition.

As vulnerable as our backline will be tomorrow (no Houston, Farrell, Burton) and below its best that our midfield will be (Rozee on skiing holiday and Butters tender as a succulent roast lamb), it is likely that our weakest department will be our forward zone.

We are stuffed. All time stuffed.

Good to know that Josh Sinn is on the same diet as housemate, Jase Burgoyne. Three years in an AFL system and he looks skinnier than ever.
