Is Sparrow an upgrade an ANB? Not sure, but couldn't be worse I've been a Brayshaw defender but some of his efforts were terrible, throw Bowey to half back and Rivers on the wing if they think he's got the tank

So you place higher value on mauling lower sides than beating the best ones? Interesting. We could lose tonight, because the dogs can be a good side, but they’re not a premiership threat. Literally Port Adelaide 2.0, look amazing against sides 7-18 but shaky against the rest

I think it's more to the fact that the dogs are highly overrated (and still have a couple injuries) rather than our top 8 record

Nice try, Luke

Not sure Bevo's ever outsmarted anyone

Dee's by 52. Naughton's second game in a row so he's due to get injured too which help restrict the dogs.

Was I not allowed to agree?

Their forward line is crap. Naughton's a star but if you restrict his output the rest crumble. With that being said, JUH is the ace up their sleep, whether he can show it consistently though is another story for a 1st year player.

Haha Harmes tag Libba when it worked first time round? Surely you jest...his tagging days are done with Viney is in the side. Hope I'm wrong tho!

Unfortunately with Viney back, he'll get the job

Trac not dynamic enough for ya? But yes agree with the sentiment. Although I do think Harmes as a pure tagger so does the dirty work, works out well. Unfortunately he’s way behind Viney in the pecking order.

Bit bizarre isn't it? Defensively liability at one point turned into a defensive wingman. Maybe Goody is playing 4D chess and it's all the masterplan to unleash the insid mid Gus with a great defensive game circa 2025.

Would love to know the footy department's thoughts on Gus. Do they genuinely not rate him highly so they stick him wherever on the basis he's simply better than the next best available player who is out of the side? Never understood taking him out of the midfield rotation.

Good, Maynard's too boring. Go and recruit a point of difference.

Reckon Port (at full health) are better than the Dogs & Swans

Simply adopt the 2018 game plan of having 2 blokes by themselves in the goal square at all times for cheapies when playing the bottom 4 sides

Leppich said something to the effect of 'you'd rather be in Melbourne's position (having beaten the top sides) rather than be in Port's position (downhill skiiers).'

Harmes not listed, assume he'll play?

Libba is a test to play for this week apparently (no, not a covid test). You'd assume they'll rush him back with Dunkley out tho.

Nothing gets passed you, D11...

We simply need a couple of downhill skiers so we complete against the worst sides. Need to throw the kitchen sink at Stringer & Motlop and reset for next year.

2 coaches votes for Jack. Surely from Clarkson.

I'd predict only the first change involving Harmes back in, but wouldn't be surprised with the 2nd so we somewhat go back to small ball IN: Harmes, Melk OUT: VDB, Jackson (Rested)

???

I'm sending a couple of movers to his joint now to pack his belongings up for Jeelong. They may be a bit late tho, they're coming from interstate.
