Im gonna be harsh I think... yes we won... but...

Out: Broadbent, Monfries, Schulz, O'Shea

In: Krak, Harvey/Shaw, Carlisle, Sammy C.

Reasons: Broady has been playing rabbit football the last few weeks, constant turnover then lets try and make up for me giving up a goal... enough is enough, have a spell. Monfries, sorry mate, but the under 18 would dominate you atm, the drug crap has to playing on his mind so give him a spell and try and work shit out. Schulz, has played shit all year, maybe injured, maybe not, but hey lets see what our future holds. O'Shea... Bobby is better sorry, and Clurey is the future... sorry.

Kark... why was he dropped? one of the best and consistent all season imo!, Harvey/Shaw... lets see what they have. Carlisle... Welcome back Bobby, Sammy C... if he is the replacement of Kornes... give him for than 2 games, seriously like what the F!
:s Go to bed!

Staying in- lobbe as we need him and Ryder to get as much game time together as possible
 
Can't believe some people want O'Shea or Clurey dropped for Bobby. That's the best our backline has looked all season. Carlile has been moving like the Titanic. Give him another couple of weeks off, then see how we're travelling.
Lobbe out for Harvey. Monfies & Broadbent still nowhere near their best, but there were signs, especially Broady in the last 15 minutes.
 
No changes unless Lobbe is injured then maybe Krakouer. Carlile rested until right.
 
Only changes I would make would be cleaner disposal and less brain fades. And Ah Chee should not ever wear the vest again. Feed him game time he is improving the more time he gets. There's just something about that kid, he goes when it's his turn, he has a Greg Phillips handball and I thought when he came on for Amon while he got a concussion test he made a real difference
 
Out:Amon (sorry Karl but that squib will be remembered for a long time)
In:Krak

I liked Clurey and O'Shea was brilliant, defenitely one of those players that look ordinary at SANFL level but better at AFL
 
First and foremost Ah Chee to get a full game.

Outs: Lobbe - whether he did his back or not his form is way off his best.

Stewart - back to barely sighted. One good game every few isn't enough at his age.

Ins: Harvey - Trengove, Harvey and Hoff between them can provide ruck chop out for Ryder when Jacobs takes his rests.

Krak - play him forward when he's on. It will allow some more time for Gray and Wingard in the centre late when Krak comes on.

Sub - Krak. If fitness is his issue bring him on at half time (yes Ken whoever told you that outside injury you can't activate your sub before 3/4 time was lying). A half of Krak around Half forward delivering cleanly (or having a shot himself) may be part of the solution to the players fetish with the pockets.

I'd give Amon an absolute bake and then play him.

He shirked the contest several times. One terribly.

There is no point hiding from it or letting it go on longer if it doesn't need to. Give him a chance to redeem himself and let's see what he's made of
 
Make sure Ah Chee is in love the way he is going about it, shouldn't have been sub last night
 
I heard last night that Carlile is going to miss 4-5 weeks with his hip. He's looked very restricted since coming back from his last injury so wouldn't surprise if he was due a decent rest.
 
I don't know that you can drop anyone after such an emotional team-first performance, and an invaluable confidence boost for most. I especially see no reason at all to drop Clurey, and can't see a slot for Bobby on current form. Let him have another week's recovery.

I wouldn't be unhappy to see an unchanged line-up next week despite the misgivings on Amon and Lobbe in particular raised by others above. Forced changes only.

Out: Lobbe (if inj)
In: Krak

Sub: Krak (or Amon if Krak is ready for 4 qtrs)

His game last night was unacceptable. I don't care that he's young that is not the Port Adelaide way of playing. I don't want to see him back until I see him have a few games for the maggies coming off the ground looking like Tommy Logans twin.

Yes , a bloke gets his chance of the year and then does that , and not once . Raises serious questions.
 
I wouldn't drop Amon, I think he's being asked to play outside but he's not fully understanding the role and doesn't know when to go in or not. I'm hoping that he's learning and not a squib. Last night was really the first time I've seen that sort of stuff from him.
