I reckon Dixon will play and he’s playing games with us.

I'm sure I've missed this, but when are teams announced? I thought Friday night teams were always announced on a Wednesday?

Nah, tomorrow as per normal

It's the Thursday night games which were released on Wednesday night

[adonski 13,271]

With Sparrow out, and with Salem fully fit for the last couple weeks, it'll be tough to resist the urge to play him

[Flag 2021 143]

I haven't seen it mentioned but Tommo would have to be in consideration for this game.

Be nice to see JS finally give a strong performance and it will be between these two to replace Harrison Petty.

Gut feel or just something you've heard internally?

[Adam The God 30,736]

Rivers out of the back 7 and into Sparrow's midfield spot, and Salem into the back 7.

Can Rivers run out as much midfield time as Sparrow?

I thought we'd go Joel Smith for Petty, but reckon it'll be Melksham going by Goody's presser.

That said, they might feel TMac's ability to go forward or back, may be an additional contingency that gets him a game over Melksham.

Zero chance BB plays IMO. Bookmark it.

Wonder what they're saying at Alberton...

[layzie 34,528]

Hope Dixon plays and is underdone as anything.

Not the concensus of a lot of Port folk... 

As @layzie suggests playing an underdone Dixon might prove folly.

Port will bring a lot of pressure. They'll have to as they dont quite have the calibre required across the lines to play something akin to more Their-Game.

They're going to more than likely try to unsettle our-style whilst cribbing a few.

If they try this they'll need to be ahead at 3/4 time.

We're probably better at absorbing pressure than the team theyll likely field.

If Salem has had a 4 week mini preseason then I'd play him. Let him get game time the next 2-3 weeks and have him cherry ripe for the Pies. Also when we play the Pies I'd play Kickett on Daicos and tell him to play him close close close and then run off him everytime we get the ball and watch him flounder like a carp in a dried out summer river.

Expand  

agree on Salem

Why risk him early. Kossie on Daicos That would be worth watching!!!

I disagree. Why not give Collingwood the headache of deciding who they should play on Pickett? Now, let's get back to this week's game... 

[AzzKikA 2,371]

This is going to be a tough game, from memory Powell-Pepper always plays well against us.

Nice piece of alliterative tongue twisting. Say three times quickly, "Powell-Pepper plays particularly poorly".

 

Actually, it's not that hard to say...

We don't really play a full forward and centre half forward. We play 2x tall forwards, 1x forward ruck, Fritsch and 3 speed forwards. One of the tall forwards often plays a defensive role to keep the oppositions best intercept marker away from the play. And we actually want Fritsch to be the deepest forward because of his accuracy.

We are going to plan our forward structure and entries around Aliir, who is a key for them.

Brown has also excellent endurance and often covers the most distance in a game.

Expand  

Joel Smith to do a defensive fwd role on Alir Alir?

I don't mind this one bit..

[adonski 13,271]

Give Howes a crack at half back and chuck Gus in the guts if Salem's not ready 

[whatwhat say what 23,861]

i thought woewodin may be a chance to debut as replacement for sparrow, but no chanting announcement as yet makes it less rather than more likely

PallPepper is one word isn't it? According to the TV commentators it is....
