Kane on it this morning. Reckons Westoff, S.Gray and Ryder likely to be omitted

Possibly Westhoff and Ryder’s last season, wonder if they are being managed towards exit ala Roughead and Lewis. You would think that if a couple of kids come in and do a job then it would be hard to bring back the older blokes

Surely chuck in a Sam Gray too.

I'd sooner give Ryder one more week although being a night game it doesn't make a lot of sense to have Chuck and Paddy up forward in tandem.

It's the Adelaide media, isn't everyone a big name?

Is having Dixon and Ryder up forward too top heavy for a night game?

going to be a cracker of a night weather wise. Bugger all wind but might be a bit dewy. If they have Dixon and Ryder up forward, it will be easy pickings for our defence. Hope they do play forward

Will be dewy. Either way, Port don't play forwards, they make them run up and down the ground so they tire out moving forward.

I'd rather them two play traditional forward roles and we crumb off them via Rozee, Boak and Robbie, wont happen though, we'll leave the forward half open, kick it in long hoping that our runners can get forward quicker than Geelong's.

It worked in 2014 for us, hasn't since.

It baffles me why we even bothered pursuing Dixon if we still chose to go down this path, may aswell get a mosquito fleet up forward, stuff the tall defenders up with match ups, man for man, we have one of the strongest line-ups.

You haven't watched us bomb it on top of his head for the last 2 years?

Saying we just kick to open space just isn't right. It happens from time to time with every side the way the modern game is played. The ball is deep in defence, the forwards push up so the mids can push back deeper clogging up space, the ball comes out quick and you've got space to burn ( see Adelaide circa 2017 ).

Our problem has/was/is not moving the ball from the back half a) fast enough to use the space or b) well enough without coughing it up. When we do c) which is move it slow and actually hit targets the opposition mids get back and we bomb it on Dixon's head. ( See sentence one ).

Yes I have, but that's after he's just f******d himself running down from the wing to make position after a turnover in defence.

He needs to be able to run at the ball, not run with the flight and try to mark it.

Just my perception anyway, I wouldn't have watched half of what you have.
