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 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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.
