Changes for Showdown

Who the **** is Cam Ellis-Yolmen?

The next Adam Goodes and/or Nat Fyfe, try to keep up ramen

Naming Palmer as an emergency is a nod of approval for a job well done so far.

Can be a good confidence boost. I reckon he's been pretty consistent for his age.

 

[El Zorro]

Fixed

Also - and this still annoys me to this day - I saw a guy at Bunnings wearing a home made jumper with CEY's face all over it with "I SAID YOOO MAN" in text.

After the third time walking past him (I had a jerkstore moment) I was about to ask him if his Jared Petrenko shirt was in the wash... but it was the Saturday morning after we lost to Geelong so I had keep it to myself.

so JPLOD to kick 5 then? Shouldn't we wait until AFTER the game to LOL?

 

[RossFC]

Hello friends, I'm interested in your thoughts on Karl Amon. I really like him as a player and his story is fantastic but there were definitely a couple of occasions against the Pies where I felt he could've gone in a bit harder. Is he in much danger of losing his place in the 22? Would he make an ideal sub? Cheers.

I'm thinking he will be the sub and play the last quarter on the wing.

Final list will be interesting. Krak for Pittard close to guaranteed. Others, NFI given this year's selection decisions.

Makes a change from them discovering the next Andrew McLeod. Maybe they've given up on that.

When Alan Stewart was with us he was just happy to find the next Rick McGowan.

Agree - Palmer has a great physique for todays game - if only the super duper Port scientists would allow some growth!
I would give him a go in the midfield in the maggies - he looks (body wise) like a young Russell Ebert .. sacrilege I know

 

[badbeats]

Palmer plays no role at all like any of those tall forwards you have mentioned. Plays a fair bit off half back pushing into the forward line and getting goals. For the old timers there's a bit of the young Trevor Sorrell about him. He's more likely to replace Monfries in the future than Schulz.

well no one would be like the old Trevor Sorrell, great man he is though.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Palmer will get a game this year he's not one of these skin and bones first year players, good build and just looks like a ready to go type.

 

[Nemisis]

Now there's a flashback! Sorrell played mainly forward but finished down back I think... didn't have the nastiness of his teammates but was pretty skilful.

I was thinking more of Casper as a tall half forward flanker rather than the full back he became. Old is so relative in football.

Hey, Casper missed the 1981 grand final for a quick jab to the back of Ralphy Sewer's head and the words 'Ralphy you went from one bum club to another' that sent Sewer into such a whirling dervish of haymaker throwing anger he copped 3 matches and missed the Bays at the time latest humiliation against Port in the decider.

Sharp punch, sharp words. Still did the lap of honour at the end of the GF.

 

[Chachi]

I'm surprised many think there will be only one out. Given the game I would have thought Young offers a lot more than Amon.
I think the final team will be;
Out; Jasper, Carlos
In; Youngy, Krak.

Finished his career with us on a suspension , great player though !

I love your memories - perhaps I was too much influenced by my Dad, a Sturt supporter who always seemed to pick on Sorrell. Having a Sturt father during the late sixties/early seventies was not much fun.

I played cricket with him after he retired. Think he would have been 40-50 odd. Big man, hit the ball a long long way.

Houses at Rosewater oval were always in danger, even across the train tracks.

And here I was thinking, that you were thinking Dave Gill, Brian Luke when you mentioned 'old times'

You poor bugger. That would need years of intensive psychotherapy to remedy.

 

[Willsy10]

Colquhoun is a bit stiff not to make the 25. I would've had him in the 22 and Amon out personally.

 

[Willsy10]

JMP* is a significant out for us, it really surprises me that to this day people still don't rate him and believe he loses games for us off his own boot.

*Did you see what i did there, i thought I'd join in for fun.

 

[scottjr]

The video does have me suspecting Jesse is in. Going to be disappointed if he isn't now for no other reason other than its nice seeing a fresh face out there.

Honestly thought you were taking the piss until I saw the links

 

[AlbertonBloke]

At this point of our season I want to see Ah Chee get a full game,test out a key forward and see what a youngster can do in the big league.

I think his legs seen about as much sun as Noel Pettingill's legs.

 

[Wargreymon90]

The vibe I'm getting is that palmer will be playing. Maybe Amon is out with palmer coming in to play forwards and monfries goes up the ground
