Changes vs Port Adelaide

[momentai]

you would have enjoyed Grimes stomping Curnows face?

Stomping tut tut this was a footy action that was clearly accidental. How about tripping over .. and a free to Grimes, that should have been paid!

In Scoring more than two goals per quarter
out not finding a way to kick more goals each quarter (so far 5 quarters for 6 goals)

 

[Smoking Aces]

We need to keep the Balta forward/ruck experiment going forward. So who covers Gibcus and Young.

Miller is the obvious replacement for Young.

I would bring Brown in to cover Gibcus and push Broad to be a more negating defender.

Sonsie & Mcauliffe for me is a no brainer. Both to rotate between half forward and midfield.

The other is Coulthard. He must come into consideration for MRJ.

Agree on Balta, and Brown- with Grimes/Broad playing taller. Risky but worth a try, especially as we dont have another key tall playing down back in the VFL. Kosi can play FB in the VFL next week.

In: Miller, Brown, McA4Life & Clarke
Out: Young, Gibcus, Prestia, MRJn or Mansell.

Would only have enforced outs. Aside from Bolton I don't think anyone else really let themselves down.
Out: Young, Gibbo, Dion
IN: Miller, Kosi, McAuliffe
We need to get some height in the backline and to support Balta/Nank at around the ground ruck contests. Would consider Judson as a small forward and move Baker into the middle if Kane Mc not ready.

Reply to myself...if Sonsie is available I would go with him ahead of McAuliffe

 

[Harry]

We need some high half forward / transition mids that can join the midfield rotation and apply pressure and be dangerous up forward. Lambert and Edwards types. I'd like to see Yze try DRioli and Sonsie in these roles. People have mentioned Clarke, but I'm not sure about his midfield capabilities.

Out Young, Gibcus, Prestia, MJ, Mansell Dow
In Miller, McAuliffe, Sonsie, Cumberland, Trezise Kosi

Vlastuin....Miller....Grimes
Baker........Broad.....Short
Pickett.....Taranto....McIntosh
Sonsie.......Balta.......DRioli
Campbell....Lynch....Dusty
Nank........Hopper.....Bolton
Trezise....McAuliffe.....Kosi.....Cumberland.....Ross

 

[spook]

Port have Charlie Masculine Nose and Shoulders Marshall as their tall forwards. Miller suited to Shoulders. Kosi the only option for Masculine Nose unless Yeezy loses his nerve and moves Noah back (he won't.)

Crisitunity. We recruited Kosi ostensibly as a forward but he was only ever going to make it as a back. Remember when we told Houli he'd get to be a midfielder with us? How did that never happening work out for him? Pretty well?

B: Grimes Kosi Vlastuin
HB: Rioli Miller Baker
C: KMac Hopper Short
HF: Juddy Balta Shai
F: Dusty Lynch Seth
R: Nank Taranto Marlion
I: Broad Dow Sonsie Coulthard MC FKN-A

In: Kosi Miller Sonz Coulthard Juddy MC FKN-A
Out: Young Dion Gibbo Ross Mansell MoJu

Too much disruption to the backline already to find a spot for Brown or Trezise yet. Dow I think just did enough to get another week or two before we Capuano him. (I'm ok if we do it now.)

I just wonder if Port Ad is the best fit for Brown? My preference is to have a backline Broad Miller and retain Grimes who gave everything against Carlton and have McIntosh who also did well, (I have to admit) relieving down back.

Lefau as César recently described, to offer some further ‘disruption’, by running in at breakneck speed from every angle, to contest after contest. Ouch!

 

[toothless]

Agree on Balta, and Brown- with Grimes/Broad playing taller. Risky but worth a try, especially as we dont have another key tall playing down back in the VFL.

Grimes (193cm) v Dixon (200cm), Broad (192cm) v Marshall (200cm), & Brown ("193cm") v Finlayson (197cm)? Yeah nah the height variance is terrifying.

Sounds like a plan! Nothing drastic, just filling in for injuries and putting some creativity in the middle

Clearly Miller is in the backline mix.

*Look forward to when Trezise gets his chance again.

 

[tigertime2]

End the Trezise farce!!

 

[craig]

Yze isnt done with the Balta / Tom duopoly up forward.

Miller /Kos will rlikely eplace Youmg and Gibbus for structure.

Alos will depend on whether Yze chooses to use Grimes and Broad and Vlas to rotate around on Marshall and whatever 3rd option they might put down there.

 

[tigertime2]

In - Miller, Trezise, Kosi, Clarke, Brown

Out - Gibcus, Prestia, Young, MRJ, Mansell

Rioli to play forward midfield.
Trezise to play HB

 

[gold1]

All I can say after Soldo's performance today do we have the troops to counter what is a very strong team in Port?
