Selection for Port Adelaide

Recommended Posts

One change. Out picket fence.

Putting up a brick fence or tubular steel?

****pauses for bulk laughter at genius comment***

In: Frawley and Jetts

Out: Dawes and Salem

I'm excited about Salem but would like him to go back and work on a full game and keep building his tank.

I don't mind the idea of playing youth but right now I would rather best 22 each week no matter who it is. Toump was ok last week so he holds his spot.

Salem will be our next "Gun" and deserves/demands a game! Toumpas only got in on Jetta's withdrawal. Still has much to learn. Salem is more advanced than Toumpas, therefore Salem stays and Toumpas goes!

Also,

Anyone else wanta play smart ar*@ with the

FENCE out and associated garbage Rhetoric?

Tell ya what, if ever there was a time for a break out game, Jack Watts, would love to see 25 quality touches, a few tackles and 3-4 goals and prove to be the difference in a massive upset,

Winning this would be enormous for the confidence and culture of the group.

We need to stop expecting that Jack Watts will have his 'break out game'. I simply want Jack to become a role player. He will impact games due to his excellent disposal and decision making, but the new MFC is 21 players, 21 roles.

Watts has the talent to be a matchwinner, while i'm sure his role is to provide a target across half forward and use his great skills kicking it into the 50 and push into the midfield I feel he is also capable of kicking bags of goals and doing that at important times, I really see him settling into this position and growing.

I think its a good opportunity to take it right up to them.
They're coming off a rough game against hawthorn, those games aways knock teams about.
just like geelong struggle after playing hawthorn.
Where as we have had a week off.

Dawes is a big out for us, but hopefully frawley comes back in and pederson, jamar and gawn can rotate in to the fifty.

thats another area we can expose port - in the ruck.
I didn't think jamar would come back so strong, but he is looking in top nic, lacks some fitness but his strength and tap work is great.

working with gawn and peders will stretch port.

our backs can handle their forwards.
the only player in the forward that will need special attention is obviously wingard, I reckon we run jetta on him. Jetts is a great shut down player and he's very physical.
It will be interesting to see if nev does get the job and if wingard can still be affective while getting harassed by jets.

in the centre, monfries out is good for us. cross could run on a key mid, theres polec, grey, cornes? boak.

jones will play a run with role on one.

Was this the game that jones could miss with the birth of his child or was that later in the year?

If so we would be in for a long game.

I agree. But, personally, I'd much prefer to view him as a role player and it's this attitude that I have a problem with. It isn't about that anymore. It's about Jack playing his role and doing everything that is asked of him. The goals and influence on the game will follow.

I don't think we're giving Port's forwardline enough respect or credit here. They are very dangerous. Wingard is unstoppable and Schultz is about the best full forward in the game right now. If we can keep them below 15 goals, that'd be a great effort.

Plus the likes of Monries, Gray & Westoff floating throught there. They have some goalkicking mids as well

If they get running they can certainly get the scoreboard spinning

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
