i understand. Is he considered "in" because he was an emergency that played last week, which means he wasnt really in at all now he is in the selected 22?Johnson#26 wrote:He was alte replacement fro J.Cloke. So it should be in J.Cloke not M.McGough.

The Hun is correct - technically. Cloke was an "in" last week and, although he didn't play, hasn't lost his place, whereas although McGough did play, he was named an emergency last week and is therefore actually an "in" this week. It sounds pretty simple really! 
Anyway, this is a game I was looking forward to for weeks as we have played them in Adelaide far too often in recent years but wonderful memories of last year's PF remain in my head and I'm looking forward to seeing another dose served up.
We have talls now at both ends of the ground but think I that Taz/Tex will give Port an awful lot of headaches, whereas our defence remains our strong point (so long as MM doesn't have another brain spasm and plays Woey in the backline again), despite losing Maxwell.
I also think we will more than match Port in the middle, having some really hard bodies to throw in there, and expect to get more first use of the ball. The key, to my mind, is how we use it. At all costs, we need to go straight to our talls, rather then chip away around the wings. Last week, we went straight something like just 20% of the time and if we do the same again this week, we will flounder. However, MM has named Bucks in the centre and I like that; give him his usual 30-possession haul against Port and 25 of them will be thumped straight to a leading forward.
Whatever the outcome though, I just want to see the guys play tough, hard footy. As long as we don't give Port the jump on us like Essendon last week, we'll win this comfortably.
'Pies by 27 points.
