Preview PORT VS FREO - ROUND 5 - POWERED BY THE WHISTLE

[taurus]

Port to play HinkleyBall. I'm backing Freo.

If you watch Port vs Demons 2 weeks ago, you will see the containment of Port Midfield due to sustained pressure. And youse absolutely dominated Carlton mids. Granted that Port has JHF back but Ollie Wines, who stood up against Dee's, is still out. SPP who provides energy is in but Finlayson is out.

 

[Footskill]

Port are good and so are their mids but now way over rated because they demolished bombers are not very good

 

[Madas]

This is going to be a Slog
I’m not overly confident but I’m not writing us off either

Kahuna is going to be pissed of so watch out any Teal jumpers that get in his way , you’ll be crushed like a can .

Nullify Rozees impact and we have a good chance

I would argue to nullify JHF. Rozee and Butters are similar to Brayshaw and Serong imo so they should contain/cancel each other.

Is Fyfe your only big bodied mid?

No Young is a bull too

Are you talking Clayton Hinkleyball?

LOL you made me google! My toxic trait is not able to ignore obscure reference.

 

[largebus]

With Finlayson out I assume Draper goes on Marshall, who's talented but nowhere near what Curnow is. He played pretty well on considering he's a 3rd gamer and was often left 1 on 1 with the best contested mark in the league

Clayton Hinkley obscure? Mods card this clown.

No Young is 189cm and can hold his own on the inside.

Serong can take Butters
Actually wouldn’t mind if Brayshaw tag Rozee. Both fast inside 10-20metres. Young v JHF.

Fyfe would be the joker in this.

Don’t think Port will get their midfield dominance if Darcy comes in, which may turn the game. Jackson will be everywhere.

 

[FreoGirl]

I hope we see Darcy

 

[pK75]

Frederick is a big out for us, we don’t have anyone else with his speed, Banners will need to move back to the forward line with JOM to spend more time on the wing. If Darcy does play, Jackson is a massive upgrade on Tabs and could be the catalyst for us to kick a winning score.

Simpson needs to play.

 

[rgauci]

Brayshaw to Rozee.
Serong to Butters.
Young to JHF.
Fyfe to Wines.
It’s Drew that bothers me, he’s talented, a tall unit and chases and harasses. I’d love for Erasmus to go head to head but I doubt the coach will pull that move.

 

[Wray27]

Let’s assume we break even in the midfield.
We need to stop Houston off half back. He is the driver behind all their d50 transition goals.
Banners to tag him and then punish when we turn it over.
Treacy, Amiss, Jackson( or Tabs) must bring the ball to ground and then lock it in or win it and get it to the outside.
We just need to finish off our work and kick the goals.
Let’s be absolutely honest. If our fwd line was functioning properly last week we win and the umpire doesn’t matter.

This forward line isn’t functioning has been going on for ages.
We need an even spread of goal kickers.
Maybe we think more unconventional?
If Chapman comes back maybe Draper goes forward?
Broken record time Simpson and Erasmus.

I pretty much blame Tabs for that, even if it is unfair. He seems to get in the way of the other big blokes and let Wietering be BOG for Carlton when he couldn't even win a single 1-1 with him. You don't see teams defensive isolate a forward very often since they know its an easy turnover. Watching from the pub I many not be correct but gee it looked like it on TV.

Darcy in for Tabs and we're a much, much better team. I think Tabs only works in a 2 prong attack, not three.

Did Delean travel to SA witht he GR team?
I wonder if he did, whether he could take Switta or Freddy's spot.
I saw a photo of the oys yesterday where they were all huddled together.JL was in the back ground with a big grin on his face.The group was very excited.I think , hidden behind JT was a mop of blonde hair.
Maybe, like I usually do, read too much into it. But then again, I could be right.
LOL

I just can't see it happening...but in the words of that great philosopher, Billy Joel...

You may be right,
I may be crazy...

 

[Ge3ks]

If Darcy plays would he likely be on limited minutes?

 

[ozzie69]

I would expect so.

Darcy, Jacko and Treacy could all rotate through the ruck.

 

[freo1997]

What times team out? Thought it was 3:25?
