Changes for Round 20

[Plugger46]

Teddy and McGlynn. No thanks. Not for this week anyway.

I'd play Teddy against North, GWS or Adelaide.

Can't see the sense in playing McGlynn at all. I've been a huge fan of his over the journey but he hasn't delivered the sort of forward pressure required for his role this year.

Port Adelaide are undersized around the park.
Since Lobbe went down and now without Dickson, they have been forced to play a brand of football designed around this condition. They sweat on turnovers and bringing the ball to ground and then rushing it out to leading players. They then look to get the ball over the top to other runners retreating into their forward 50.
Rohan, Towers, Franklin, Heeney and Papley should be able to provide the inside 50 pressure to plague their disposal efficiency coming out of defence and assist in breaking down this system. X. Richards is not quick but playing from the goal square he has been able to exert pressure on their tall defenders. This may be moot against Port as they don't really have any.
If Lloyd is unavailable I believe they may go with B Jack before the finals to see if he is worth keeping at this level or if he should be let go. If X is to go perhaps Newman or Leonardis may be tried for similar reasons.

Agree with most of that Graeme but X is actually quite quick. His tank has been the main concern as far as I understand.

Thanks Scottee.
I must admit I have not seen him run down players but I remember him getting caught with the ball by Boekhurst after breaking free from the backline and perhaps was misled by this incident.

What's up your butt?
It's as good a spot as any.
If you have a problem, take it up with the mods.

Take it easy Sweet Caroline.

Maybe you could start a thread - "Pre & Post Match Functions".

Annie, next time write...

Anyone think this might happen and anyone going?"

On the basis of Longmire's press conference, I think Lloyd might miss, which is a bummer as his outside run is important for us. I think Laidler will come in with a big game needed from Cunningham.

I suspect that an unchanged line up falls under the category of, 'no news is good news'. I also suspect, that going in unchanged is a fairly uncommon thing?

[Danzar]

Tippo is a pretty mobile tall.
Naismith seems to be able to get around a bit as well.
Same with Buddy

Nankervis and Allir are a bit lumbering, less so Allir

Hmmm, I'd put Tippo in the 'somewhat lumbering' category.

[liz]

Aliir lumbering?

Well he is in the side to cut the opposition's tall timber down to size.

Sorry, had missed out on the Foote puns.

No but he is very good with chipping the ball around.

An unchanged side is very good thing.
I bet barry will appreciate this, apart from Macca staying in the side

Far be it from me to pick who may be in or who may be out on here.
It's quicker for me to just suggest in my daily email to horse.
