Do you mean the free kick in front of goal where he was pushed into the legs of a player?? And we’re dropping Fritsch again are we? What’s the weather like outside?

I've been doing a little research on the name "Yartapuulti" and it apparently relates to that time when Port Adelaide draped entire bays at their ground with tarpaulins in an attempt to disguise the s

Ben Brown needs to come back in, forward line structure isn’t as good as it could be right now.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

agree on Salem

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

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.

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

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

 

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

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

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

He will come in for Sparrow.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
