he has been kept fit on the side and has two games left in him, probably been the plan all along, we'll see.

not a good sign for him, when Bevo does that (e.g. with West a while back) it means he thinks he's a liability, he wont play, just a matter of who replaces him

The most impressive thing is how much TOG Hunter spends considering how much ground he covers. Absolute beast.

Port players sorting out accommodation for families in Perth, seems a little presumptuous to me.

No really. You’d have to do it now and you can just cancel. Nothing to see.
JJ has none of those skills, his best talent is hiding from the opposition and avoiding any form of contact
Robbie Gray (the other chucker) and Fantasia also on light duties according to nine news

That is pretty harsh comment on our Norm Smith medalist. Kicked a clutch goal in 3rd quarter and had score assist in the last without those plays we do not win.
Didn’t he also say the same thing about Marra last week? Saying ‘In the mix’ is such a cop out. Every player is ‘In the mix’.
He’s such a clown.
I’m almost certain the club have ruled out Martin for the year. He’s only played 1 VFL game the last month.

As a fan who hates the idea of being presumptuous at all, I still think you'd be a bit naive if you didn't realise that this has to happen given the limited accommodation, limited flights, etc available, and a possible huge contingent of SA people flying over.
I mean if you look at flights from Adelaide to Perth at the moment they're up to $1500ish return. In fact with Qantas it's seemingly better to fly Adel to GC to Perth, or Cairns to Perth. It's shit that we have to buy in advance, but if you don't and Port did win, our fans would regret it when they're up for several hundred extra. If Melbourne's borders were open it'd be even worse!
Importantly though it's easy to make all the accommodation and flights cancellable for free. Which means there's really zero risk, and you're at least prepared if the dream is realised.
Good luck this weekend, going to be an epic game. Can just feel it in the air. An all time Prelim and true 50/50 game.

Bit like when our fans started lining up for Grand Final tickets at 3/4 time of the 1997 Prelim.
Don't get ahead of yourself Port.
If I was Bevo, I would be using this as motivation 100 per cent.

To be fair, there hasn't been any opportunity to play VFL for more than a month.

That's what you do with luxury vehicles during the week. Cover and polish them ready to let them rip on the weekend.

Treloar to take some of Bont's midfield time seems obvious, but Bevo likely to have something else up his sleeve.
Treloar did have a good second half in the Essendon game but the team was well on top. He hasn't played well basically since he came back in a game where it's been an arm wrestle or we've been up against it. I'm pretty concerned that there isn't an easy fix. I hope he's well and it is just a form slump.
There are some things we can do at selection to mix it up (I'd personally bring Wallis in for Weightman for leadership and hopefully for the lift it might give the group), but bottom line is we've got some gaps in our structure that Port don't have atm and they've had the rest/no travel/home ground/no quarantine etc. It'll be a mighty effort to overcome it and it'll take a top level effort from all 22. The good news is that this club has done that in the recent past so here's hoping Sat night is another proud night.

I didn't think Treloar was all that bad. Yeah not his best but when it was his moment he did his part with a couple of strong tackles, one of which led to a goal from memory. He'll get better, just needs to adjust to a new role.

Honestly it’s ****ing awesome, I was so down on us throwing away our season in 3 weeks but that’s just because I genuinely think we’re the best team in it this year and it seemed that we had wasted it but nothing keeps this group down. We just thrive on adversity and it’s so heartening to watch, I can’t stand the bullshit in the media/public about how gifted we are by the umps but honestly then I just think how lucky I am to follow this club. There’s just 40 odd blokes who genuinely just love playing footy together, we play footy the way it should be played. And I genuinely pity everyone else for the clubs they have to support that the only joy they get from footy is calling out shit umpiring
we are just honestly great for footy right now, awesome team awesome bunch of bloke, extreme talent and we’re just getting started
Treloar plays in my view.
Especially so given that:
1. We need goals from our midfield given the absence of Cody and Bruce. Treloar can kick a couple of goals if he plays well.
2. Bont may not play or may play limited minutes in the midfield. Treloar can replace the Bont in the middle.
Treloar has not been in great form, but was one of the reasons why we improved in the second half against Essendon. He played a good half of footy only a week ago. We must back him in.

It was his clearance that got the ball in deep on the Baz goal as well if I remember correctly.
Was the last quarter 35:03 mins long?! Omg.
The old time keeper up this way is from the Bjelke-Peterson days - loves the coin, loves a laugh, loves a long quarter when it suits the campaigner
