GAME DAY - Round 18

[Whispering_Jack 30,198]

We've added some pace today in the form of JKH and Sammy Blease.

Will it make a difference?

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Jkh, Kent and blease have to to cause headaches for port surely

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

Nope, Port will win comfortably for Dom Cassisi.

Think we will do ok, but still lose by 40 points.

Just hoping we can kick 3+ goals a quarter.

First free kick of the day against the Jones boy... Lying on the ball in the center square with 4 port players lying on top of him ... Sigh

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

It's fantastic to finally see a team with abit of flair and pace.

Blease, Kent, JKH and Jetta. I AM PUMPED

[Pates 9,660]

Maybe todays game will go the way the round has gone, either upset or surprisingly good game. Not hopeful though.

The boys have been really lacklustre ever since our win over the Bombers, it's time they stepped up again.

Dean Kent is our sub which I think is absolutely stupid. One of our only players who breaks the lines, and scores goals will now most likely spend half the game off the field.

This has actually [censored] me off.

damn

Luke Tapscott better do something for the first time in his career

[John Crow Batty 8,871]

Pot and us have been very flat the last few rounds. As Freo got done, Port have incentive to regain lost ground. And if the Cassisi factor pans out like it did with Hayes at St Kilda we may get smashed thoroughly. Will lightning strike twice at Adelaide Oval? I dont think so. All we have to play for is pride. An abstraction few of our players seem to understand.

He hasn't done much for 3 weeks. Expected him to be the sub to give Blease and JKH an opportunity and he can come on and be the impact sub this week.

So do JKH and Blease. Both break the lines and can kick goals.

Yep, a lot of love for Kent but he hasn't established himself as an AFL player yet.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I just hate the sub rule.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

If we can kick 10+ goals and be in the game for most of the afternoon that will be a small victory for us today. I hate going back to that line of thinking but after the last fortnight it would be good see us respond with some positive football.

[CityDee 738]

Agree we need to hit the scoreboard today and break the lines . 5 on the board at quater time will help .

[gsmith12 491]

Roos has made it clear that several players are on their last chances over the remainder of the season therefore there is little point in making Tapscott the sub.

Last chance for Luke I reckon.

Hasn't done much the past few weeks BUT kick goals for us and look dangerous in attack, which struggle to do.

Pretty important I recon.

Exactly what we need. Both as a team and as supporters. I really can't bare watch another match where we have kicked a couple to half time, making it almost unwatchable.

Not arguing that, but he still hasn't done a great deal. Bobs up and kicks a goal and then you don't see him for a quarter and a half.

I'm just happy Roos has seen sense and made someone who has pace and skill the sub - making guys like Terlich the sub gives us very little, as would someone like Tapscott, who doesn't offer the same impact as a Kent would in this situation. It has to be somebody, this week it's Kent.

[picket fence 17,172]

About time we got some PACE into the team, hope Sammy Blease plays a blinder! Also agree partially with Smithy but who then becomes the Sub, JKH?

[Max Power 37]

I just want to see an elevated volume of scoring, would be nice to break 60 points today - even if we lose by over 40.

How long till this match starts?

1:10 melb time...

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Watts named at half back, interesting to see if that's where he lines up.

[frankie_d 1,471]

go jack - next time, go and meet the ball
