I just hope Harry is on his game and Curnow puts in 4 quarters.  That goes for many others too !

Agree but made harder with Aliir Aliir back.

Unlikely he will be match fit and his inclusion which is weeks earlier then predicted screams of desperation from Hinkley who just needs the win to keep the wolves at bay.

Even though he wont be 100% our delivery into the F50 has to be directed low and clean or he will pick them off.

0 - 5 and they most likely won't make the eight Shawny.  Can't shed a tear over that outcome.

Perhaps we should be playing our 210cm ruckman Mirkov!!

Port have included young ruckman Sam Hayes "205cm" 22 years 102 kg

cheers Ab

I would like to have a second ruck in the 22. But I don't select the team. I just hope they know more than I do.

Hypothetical one.... If we lose we drop to 3 -2. Breaking it down we had 2 good wins against good opposition then a lucky win against Hawthorn and 2 losses when going in favorite. Taking off the blue glasses could us fans still believe we have improved on last year efforts?  

Still early in the season i know but its a massive game on Sunday as a loss at home to Port in their current state will is worse then last week and bring all the early season hype to a grinding halt.

I supposed this is Vossy saying "we aren't tolerating crap performances" and there were plenty last week. I said TDK wouldn't enjoy watching his tape, this should sting him right in the tail.

Theres another story to think of here.  Voss would have sat in the inner sanctum for the last few matches port played vs Carlton and would know what they might be thinking regarding our players and going with a line up that will cause Port issues for planning how to beat us.

Newnes and Cottrell have been marauding the wings in VFL they deserve a run.

Playing Silvagni as second ruck weakens our forward line as well as giving the opposition a free hit when Pittonet has to rest.  I don't have a problem with dropping De Koning, but cheating with Silvagni as backup ruckman should be an occasional tactic against suitable opposition.

I suspect it is because of the way our run has diminished.

That is also why I suspect LoB is injured not omitted.

Port ruck Marshall as their relief for Lycett since they traded out Ladhams so Jack shouldn't be monstered but it's not a tactic we should employ with teams who have two genuine ruckman.

yep surprise selections he knows they won't have match ups for whilst dropping blokes they will.  No point going with o brien against Port when they played with loose half backs rather than wingers as one example.

Whats happened to Williamson?  Sub in round 1, 4 rounds in not seen.

Yep, and Vossy acknowledged just this.

Port have taken us to the cleaners recently, but tomorrow it is a different CFC taking the field, with a different game plan managed by different people. Likewise, Port are not slaying all before them at present.

Maybe Vossy missing from the Port coaching group is having more of an impact than some may realise? For moi tomorrow's game is against two sides wounded after recent encounters (this year). Both will be desperate to make amends... makes for a fascinating contest. I feel a lot more confident about this game than I did last week.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
