Great half!! Played tough fast footy crows poor should be an easy win from here

Gus, Clarry and Trac are all on so far. Makes a big difference. A couple of efforts from bailey last in the Q to make up for a poor Q

Hunt is good kick for goal!! our fwd transition looking 2018 like

Salem outt!!! weed in. We are rooted

Hore late out Harris in

That why I mentioned he had more touches than the blokes he is competing with. And kicked a goal. Tackling is key to small fwd role so it’s obvious why he kept his spot this week. Having said that if there are fwds playing well in the twos and he doesn’t improve soon he probably will be dropped soon as the bar is pretty low at the moment

thanks for the update Tarax, hope the Croc ranching is going well! I hope Todd Viney is helping everyone with their ball drop - OK everyone, throw the ball up in the air and wave your wooden leg at it. if you make contact, you beauty

more touches and tackles than Lockhart, Garlett and Hunt. actually more tackles than the 3 of them combined admit he is not playing well but he is a kid finding his way and I reckon given some continuity and backing he will improve

We'll have Lewis, Lever, May, JKH, Weed, Preuss, K Dunk, ANB all pushing for a spot from next week onwards. finally some pressure from below the 22 in Darwin should be out on notice and fire up!

yep. 2 games in VFL, rest him up and get him right for QB. our defence is a debacle, we need a steady head back there to organise us would be exactly 12 months since he did it

Hannan and Salem at the airport be surprised if hannan plays!

anything could happen. we usually play better the week after being pathetic. Adelaide are no great shakes but they will probably win Salem in is massive. he is moving up the ranks of our most important players would friggen love to win though. bit of excitement going into QB and the bye

Good to see everyone in the media is trying to fire up Walker to have a big game! [censored]

Son of a Hore!! hopefully he just lost a fight with a roll of cling film

So we play on 8% more times than the Pies who are 2nd. not massive is it? 1 more time out of 12 instances Funny how game plans look terrible when the core group is young and there is a critical mass of injuries. Look at GWS and the Pies. many years with quality young teams - looked to have no game plan and missed finals. the pies at least. then their core group of players are all 24yo + and they don't have half their team out and they look great. my point is I reckon we need to give Goody the chance to define his own style. it worked amazingly last year when we were the highest scoring team. give him time to refine the plan with at least 70% of his team available. hopefully he is a genius who is working towards leading the next big trend in footy rather than trying to catch up with the current one

Petty should be first out imo. Our worst defender on the weekend and that is saying something

im speechless. Brad seems like a wonderful guy. so cruel

Doesn’t seem anything like Maynard to me. Natural footballer and can play full time fwd unlike Maynard

Still a teenager and has a good build. Doesn’t look particularly slow to me so not sure what other posters have seen. He has been in form in the vfl and is fit so should be in the seniors in the next couple of weeks you’d reckon whst is the deal with this draft, are they signed just until the rest of the season?

The old parting by mutual agreement huh? Isn't that what you say when your girlfriend dumps you and don't want to admit it? Brad's PR team are doing well here but if the Club thinks it's time to part ways it doesn't really matter if the coach agrees or not. Scott was sacked after being at the club for 10 years, having a bit of crack of creating an elite team and failing and now having a bottom 4 team to pass on. If this was really planned and mutually agreed, they would have a successor or replacement ready. they have traded so many draft picks just to stay around 9th spot, and now you can count the number of good players they have under 24yo on one hand. maybe even on a camel's toe!

as well as being young and inexperienced, we are also one of the worst teams at playing football at the moment important to factor that in

finally got a week praise Jebus!

How is Ken Hinkley still in a job? Zero effort from port. He has not been able to instill consistency over 6 years with a talented list

Not sure what changed from two months ago until now. Did they think they’d make finals? Scott seems like decent coach but overrated club management imo. 9 years to draft and trade with only a handful of players to show for it. Although two prelims they never finished top 4. I get the point if not bottoming out but what is the point if you never really think you can win a flag??

I’d say when the doctor says he is fit to play and no heightened risk of reinjury. With a collarbone pretty easy to know when. Bones in the foot and stress fractures are a different story. Always some guesswork involved as doesn’t always show up on scans
