Boo hoo every team has suffered through this COVID year.
Again boo hoo, every team has had it hard not just your mob.Port have a lot of 4 or 5 day breaks against opponents who had 7+ day breaks?
Has every team had 6 genuine home games at their home ground against interstate opponents?Again boo hoo, every team has had it hard not just your mob.
Yeah nah I'm not gonna take anything away from Port, you guys have had an awesome year and are a real flag chance but you're year hasn't been anywhere similar to the other clubs especially the Melbourne clubs.Again boo hoo, every team has had it hard not just your mob.
The first half of the year was not like that, we played the first 6 out of 7 games (in a 17 game season) playing away. Complaining about having it tough this year is pathetic, every team has had it tough.Yeah nah I'm not gonna take anything away from Port, you guys have had an awesome year and are a real flag chance but you're year hasn't been anywhere similar to the other clubs especially the Melbourne clubs.
You're guys have been mostly at home with no restrictions playing infront of home crowds. Just enjoy it rather than being a Dingle berry about it

Port Adelaide 7 games in AdelaideYeah nah I'm not gonna take anything away from Port, you guys have had an awesome year and are a real flag chance but you're year hasn't been anywhere similar to the other clubs especially the Melbourne clubs.

Port Adelaide 7 games in Adelaide
Richmond 4 games in Melbourne
Geelong 4 games in Geelong/Melbourne
A difference, absolutely but not a massive one.
(and that's not considering the travel discrepancies in this discussion)
The real advantage is that we play finals at home.
As long as we don't play WC. Still salty about Shuey.
Interesting what they do with the forwardline this year.
Do they pick 6 genuine forwards?
with a few gun mids playing fwd/mid splits will the fill the hff line with those types?
How many KPF will make the team?
How many pressure/small forwards?
Will there be any room for those hybrid forwards who aren't KPF but also don't rotate through the mid?
Almost a 100% chance they stick Petracca on the HFFYou'd assume 2 keys (likely to be Hawkins and Dixon), then two smalls. Fill the rest, that might be a Martin type at HFF.

Boak and Danger have only kicked 8 goals guys should they even be considered good forwards this year? Good mids yes but forwards......
That's the other one, Boak too. It's a bit of a joke they have this fascination of picking every mid out of position in one team. The wingmen are the worst examples in the past. It's why I've been consistent, pick TWO wingers, don't pick an inside mid on the wing!
Martin, Petracca okay. They have kicked enough goals to compare them to other forwards but the other 2 just scrape into the top 100.I've seen it way too many times though!
To be fair, a lot of inside mids can play the wing position that's why. It's all well and good having guys like gaff, acres and menegola etc that get the cheap ball but it's a position that many players can play if given the opportunity. And I know if my life depended on it then I'd much prefer have bontempelli on a wing than an andrew gaff

Yeah your Hybrid forwards need to have like absolute Elite seasons to make these teams, like you see one make the team every 2nd year at best. Cameron is another who is going to suffer making these teams over his career much like Gunston has.These selectors have a weird way of thinking though! Weirdly I hope Gunston gets in from your side, rate his season massively.

Re: Gunston has been good started well but built on that and now is finishing the year strong as ever. Probably makes the squad not sure on the 22.
tbf using Richmond is a bad example. They have had the best draw as far as travels goes for any Victorian teamYou deliberately were misleading with those figures.
Richmond's first 4 games were against other Vic teams with no crowds, literally a neutral game at a neutral venue.
Port has played 6 genuine home games with crowds.
Petracca and Boak should be the starting mids and not considered in the forward lineMy very large forward line squad, pls let me know who I've missed:
KPF: Hawkins, Dixon, Kennedy
Pressure Fwds: Butler, Papley, Wallis
Hybrid Fwds: Gunston, Cameron, Ryan
Mid/Fwds: Martin, Petracca
