Round 12 Match Preview: Western Bulldogs vs Port Adelaide

Re: Round 12 Match Preview: Western Bulldogs vs Port Adelaide

I like Austin on Schulz as he takes most of his marks on the lead.

I would be keen to tag Pearce/hartlett as Ebert etc do not hurt you with their skills.

I think our mids should be too strong for them and Cooney is due to go nuts.

Good point Maddog37

Was reading about Chris Grant during the week, and I immediately thought of Cooney.

"Eade said it was a measure of Grant's selflessness that he played on through his later years with serious injuries. Others might not have risked the damage to their reputations, but Grant felt he was able to contribute as long as he could run on to the ground."

Still has a lot to contribute, although the salary issue perhaps galls a few supporters.

Port have dropped Carlile because he's not fit enough! Certainly helps..

This decision may mean Roughy gets another game. Carlile would be the perfect match up for him.

Good preview mate.

I think we might have tabled trading for Schultz a few years ago, and it was shouted down by all and sundry, including yours' truly. He'd be very very handy in our forward line right now. Goes to show, you should stamp a players papers too early.

I'm looking forward to watching Hartlett play. He's as good a chance out of anyone to be the best player from the 2008 draft, and I think he needs serious watching. I'd be sending Picken to him.

Sedat is a fan

Yeah, happy with this news. As I said in the OP I like their defense and he's a key part of that. Jones is still going to find it tough with Chaplin taking him and I guess Trengrove takes Cordy/Roughead assuming Roughead stays in the 22.

Nice work G-Mo.

As you say, Pearce has been in great form the past few games so we need to be mindful of him getting out in space. A few of their kids have also got the ability to hurt us, so I'm expecting a pretty tough game, but still one we should win.

Lobbe apparently has traveled over with the team. Could be a late inclusion.

Do you know something the rest of us don't? Roberts didn't make the cut.

I was glad to see him added to the squad, but I'm not unhappy he didn't make the team. He's shown quite a bit to this point, but unless his Williamstown form demands selection, I think a couple of games around round 18-22 would be a good outcome in his first year.

It was listed on afl.com as well as another site.
So perhaps there was a team change dependent on Port's selection
