Changes vs Port Adelaide

[tigers1980]

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We played well tonight. Not much would have needed to go right to get the win over last year's prelim finalists.

Not losing half our backline would have helped. Bolton waking up from his snooze. Mansell being able to convert from 3 metres. Not having a 5 day break that took out Prestia. Not having another - 10 free kick differential. Any of those.

Out: Young, Gibcus, Prestia.

In: Miller, Kosi (full back), Sonsie.

Why the *smile* was Prestia picked in the first place, given his soft tissue history. Makes no sense

Out- Prestia gibcus young

Allows balta to stay forward

Balta/lynch will be a hard duo to stop this year.

[Stig]

Never ever want to see MRJ again
Enough is enough
Flying with Lynch sums it all up

 

[Turbo]

Coultard, Clark, Green, Cumbo
How in gods name does spud Mansell get picked before any of them?
Knew it was gonna end in tears.

 

[Scully Trengove Martin]

Anyone know whats going on with Bauer? Could use him.

Mansell and MJ have rarely ,if ever ,played a single great afl game yer keep getting picked .Both predictable invisible last night .Yet clark ,cumberland ,coulthard have shown us their vastly better fowards ...Yze and co need to be creative and make the changes.

Mansell elbowed Ginnivan in the head, that was a great game

Mansell and MRJ have benefitted somewhat from injuries to our kids. They've had a fair head start in terms of opportunities but the pack is closing fast. Clarke, Sons, Green, Coulthard, Cumbo, Campbell. The clock is ticking for them.

you would have enjoyed Grimes stomping Curnows face?

 

[No 4]

You keep 1 tackle
mansell and 4 possession MJ?

both players taps provided goals, MJ block also provided another goal. Pressure running around lead to turnovers. We need these types of players for linking. I also agree if increased possessions will make them better. if we don't have the run in the forward line, the ball gets to the opposition's end too quickly.

Acknowledge the efforts and defensive work, but we have a very different view about what is required in an AFL forward line, fair enough

I know I did, accident of course.

He rubbed someones else's face in the dirt as well.
He's spirited.

 

[Rantnrave]

A good way a foward creates pressure is to stop the opposition by actually also getting hands on the ball and goaling ..haha

we need to give Dow more games Lefau as emerg and Dow on the bench

 

[momentai]

Out Gibcus, Prestia, Young, MJ
In: Miller, Coulthard, McAulliffe, Tresize, (might have to go Kosi for height, but I'm flying blind on ins)

I can see a top 3 pick coming on.

Kosi na. Lefau

 

[lamb22]

Nank Bolton Martin
Taranto Hopper Dow Miller

[Tigaman]

Could Naismith go back as he is pretty agile for a big bloke.
