2nds Port Adelaide vs Centrals - Round 17 @ Alberton

[Ford Fairlane]

Was trying to place them all in the photo of the lineup. Recognised both Malakelis boys, and think I could see Steve Carter with a beard in the back row. Was Robbie West the little guy on the far left?

I think I need a bigger screen

The two guys from the left have me stumped. Is the one in the hat D. Smith or Delaney?

I make out Mead, Ginever, Williams, Wilson, Fiacchi, Francis, R. Smith, Anderson, Mala 1, Mala 2, Carter, Waterhouse, Foster.

Can’t see Hodges, Leys or Northeast, which surprises me.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Here's the 1995 premiership team for reference

F: S.Williams, Hodges, S.Malakellis
HF: Waterhouse, Poole, D.Smith
C: R.Smith, West, Darcy
HB: Northeast, Leys, Carter
B: Fiacchi, Delaney, Wilson
1R: Mead, Ginever, T.Malakellis
Int: Anderson, Francis, Foster
Coach: J.Cahill

I think I can make out Ando, Timmy, Meady, Clive, Fabian, the Malakelli, Willo, Wilbur ... and tapping out

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Think we need Macca19

 

[Chewy316]

I would be more than happy to keep Finlayson for one more year as depth and see what Carr can do with his attitude.

He's had attitude problems his entire career. Not something that has just popped up whilst at Port.

He needs to go. Soft as butter and quits the moment it gets a bit tough out there.

3 fantastic recruits in that side who joined the club in 1995 Brian Leys Robbie West and Anthony Darcy.

Yep. Scott Spalding in 1994 went ok too.

 

[Traveling_Power]

Do you see him as a KPD, KPF or Ruck?

a KPD ...

put another 10kg on him / send him to do the red bull training for a few weeks ... and get him ready for the 200cm KPF of other teams

 

[Traveling_Power]

Alright who is this? This can’t be a real person.

quick someone give him a membership

that way he can watch ex central players with a smile playing for Port

No thanks. I'd give up football completely before that happened.

The 2 on the left look like Anthony Darcy and Darren Smith

I hope we're picking up Watkins in the draft. Hasn't put a foot wrong since he got here, super consistent. He's earned an opportunity

 

[Janey]

Many many years ago it was nothing like it has become.
Used to be very safe and everyone worked (mainly at GMH).
Once the government decided to use it as a dumping ground it went to shit.

We lived there then, shortly after coming out here. Houses and gardens were all cared for, people took pride in their homes even though they were all housing trust. Looking at our old place now is a disgrace.

 

[rogerjames]

Seriously, how has he not been selected yet.

He's been our best defender at SANFL level along with Ramm, all year.

Clearly, has more ability and weapons and RELIABILITY than McEntee, Mead, Liddy and others.

Thats good to hear re Lai coz the players you mentioned shouldnt be in our best 22 if we are going to be a decent team.

 

[rogerjames]

If he had the ticker, could have been a 300 gamer.

Yep so disappointing given his level of talent. Playing for a new contract I assume then will be back to the same BS. Was such a fan of his talent but his attitude sucks & PA cannot keep rewarding this.

Will never be AFL standard. Yeah he might get plenty of the ball, but rarely does anything with it. Turnover king. Very frustrating to watch for me.

Raised there.

From the kids in my street at the time.

A couple of senior public servants, a couple of doctors and a leading professor at Flinders uni.

Not a drug in sight.

 

[PowerBaz]

Might be worth offering a 1 year contract thats heavily incentivised.

I’ve heard Carr isn’t a fan.

Should have been marched after his “efforts” in the 2023 QF in Brisbane.

Guy deadset didn’t try.

His one-possession 2019 GF should have been warning enough for us.

You can’t keep blokes like him around.

That’s a fair trek to Flinders everyday

I can vaguely remember watching bulldogs v giants played at Ballarat right as the players were leaving the ground - just channel surfing ! The commentators were getting stuck into Finlayson for something he did or did not do in the game. I think that the incident got a bit of a run in the media but I just can’t remeer why he was mentioned.
It could have been just before was traded to us.
