Selection for Port Adelaide


Sad Dee

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

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
