Always Right Match Committee - Round 13, 2018 vs Port Adelaide

[LostDoggy]

I think a few down on form pre-bye will get another chance after a freshen up.

With Morris a certain out, I'd think Cordy is his natural replacement.

With Dickson out, I'd think Jong could add the most. Thinking back to the Adelaide game, I think his pace, big midfield body and aerial competitiveness will be useful. A night to just bang the ball forward rather than overthink the disposal should be good for him also.

In:-
Wallis, Young, Dunkley, Campbell

Out:-
Dickson, Morris, Roughead, Smith

Wallis to tag Wines

Young to take Morris' spot

Dunkley to play forward and work up hard with aerial contests on the wing and towards our D50

Campbell gets his shot in place of Rough

Williams resumes his life as a defender

If Bont is fit enough to play, I'd like to see him do a bit of work on Westhoff who is having a very good season and spending time all over the ground.

I like those changes. Williams was outstanding defending in heavy conditions in Adelaide.

Storms, rain, thunder lightning and 50 Kph winds forecast I may just stay home and watch on tv

If Bont is fit enough to play, I'd like to see him do a bit of work on Westhoff who is having a very good season and spending time all over the ground.

I have seen nothing from Young this year that would get him selected before Cordy and Naughton. The only thing that works in his favour is his long sleeve jumper could come in handy given the predicted conditions.

The day Bont tags Justin Westhoff is the day I give up watching footy and start following the extreme ironing league.

[Throughandthrough]

Weak

Your right. I’m in! I fly to Melbourne for matches , and work ten minutes from Adelaide Oval so I should go

I was joking, but knew you would go.

From Bevo's Press Conference

* Naughton will have another week off, Cordy to come.

* We’ll have a different look to our line-up when we head across there for tomorrow night. We’ve learnt from last time when we played across at Adelaide Oval in the wet

[Axe Man]

For Port Jack Watts and Jake Neade have been dropped and defender Tom Jonas will miss with "a little hammy".

The ins are Lindsay Thomas, Todd Marshall and Jack Hombsch.

[LostDoggy]

Jonas out is a plus for us. On the AFL website they reckon he'd be leading their b&f. Don't often wish good luck to opposition players, but amazing to see Todd Marshall back so quickly. Good luck to him.

[Happy Days]

Yeah Jonas out is big - he's been just about the best key defender in the competition this year, and Port are pretty threadbare down back key position-wise.

Not that it matters at all given the expected weather and who they're playing (us), but it's a theoretical plus.

[Happy Days]

Biggs is on the plane to Adelaide

[josie]

What are odds of Thomas doing something silly? Just hope he does not hurt one of our players or one of ours taking revenge.

[bornadog]

In Wallis, Biggs, Webb and Cordy

out Dickson Suckling Morris all injured and Roughead

[westdog54]

Roughead dropped. Statement made?

[Happy Days]

Roughead dropped. Statement made?

Is it really that much of a statement? He's long used any credits he had accumulated, and hasn't been the same player since the 3rd man up was legislated out of the game.

I think it's a decision that's wholly merit-based.
