2nds Port Adelaide vs North Adelaide - Trial Match 1 @ Alberton

I hope that Reynolds isn't forced down to the Academy due to all the talls we have.

To me it would seem more likely that the talls may force Reynolds out of his position at the goalfront but he would then force another player down to the academy.

Reyonlds is 188cm so he can play HFF or Wing. Aaron Young is 189cm and he has no problem playing HFF.

Correct , they are bloody hypocrites !

I don't understand the believe that "more AFL players the stronger the magpies are" because clearly by the stats that's just not true, yes it is for the crows reserves but that's because of the quality of their top ups, they're all armature and country league players who aren't up to the standered compaited to our guys are going directly through an SANFL system through our reserve's/academy team.

Slow down, then punctuate and spell-check.

Had to rush, was on lunch at work, relax.

"a good big man will always beat a good little man" and I can see us winning a lot of last quarters as our big players start to dominate.

Yep as Peter Ladhams did v North. 203cm(?) is a lot to jump over as the game goes on. If I was running the show the Magpies rucking dept
would be Frampton Ladhams and Ross. Lobbes to be main ruck and mentor for the academy.

That's ridiculous.

Shows the complete shambles that the rules are atm. SANFL: "YOU MUST PLAY ALL AVAILABLE AFL-LISTED PLAYERS IN THE MINOR ROUND. YOU MUST PLAY NO MORE THAN 17 AFL-LISTED PLAYERS IN FINALS"

Funny thing is, had the new 17 player rule for finals been in from the start, we probably would have won the 2014 SANFL granny.

But Flynn wouldnt have played. Lol
