Mid season draft James Rowe to play the SPP pressure role I know alot of you do not like him or his father but he grew up a Port supporter and has been arguably the best SANFL player. Would prefer him over Mcintee ever day of the week

He's slow, fat, short & can't kick over a jam tin who the hell is he gonna pressure? an auskick kid pre-game?

'Would prefer him over McEntee' is not a good reason to draft him. McEntee is an outlier, there are probably 100 players in the various state leagues who are better than McEntee. The question isn't whether Rowe is better than McEntee, the question is whether he's also better than the other available options, and he probably isn't.

He’s kicked like 0.12 in finals

It’s been nice but time to move on Trav
Boak's dreadful record for continually missing regulation set shots has to suggest it may have been better for him to get some regular specialist kicking coaching in this country instead of going to the US so often looking for ways to improve other areas of his game.

4.14 which is still atrocious. If he was a forward then yeah move him on. He is a midfielder and his other efforts more than make up for his goalkicking. No doubt this is his last season though. He should have been self aware enough to work on his kicking for goal over the journey but that goes for just about the whole team barring several players.

I missed this one.

Boak, Dixon and Finny wouldn't helped us win against Collingwood.

Boak and Dixon never get it done against quality opposition and are now old and goodish enough which seems to be what the Port Adelaide Football Club is about nowadays.

We lost against the Pies in contested midfield which we always lose to and the small and medium defenders getting creamed. If you change that with gameplan and the right players then you will beat a team like Collingwood.

The reason I am more against Boak and Dixon apart from their average form is because our list is readying itself for a premiership and you need to ditch the old blokes and start to get young guys into form to nail the most out of your premiership window.

You don't give out Gold passes to youngsters but you do have to see what you have for the future of which Dixon and Boak are not a part of.

Its how good teams are managed and coached. It is why I am worried about the Giants as they are in the same window as us, have a better coach and are still blooding a lot of young, talented players. I'm not saying they will be the Threepeat Lions but they are looking real good for a while.
I'm flattered you re doing a search for every one of my posts that contain the keyword 'Boak'.

Again you have disparaged Boak and Dixon with no evidence whatsoever. Is this your eye test again that is telling us that Marshall is fine and it is just bad coaching???

It is as justifiable to argue that you need experienced players passing knowledge on to young players through example and communication. A feature which almost all dynastic teams have had.

Its also a valid arguement that you play your best team. It's great to daydream about what the team composition will be in our next premiership but there also has to be a focus on winning your next game and presenting your best team for this season.

Who is going to take Dixon's place right now anyway? He is no doubt our best key forward right now. Thanks to our fantastic list management we have a 22 yo Lord as the only viable replacement and he won't be available for another four or five games. Its not like we have incredible young depth knocking the door down for selection right now.
