Preview Changes/Preview, (post #449) Port Adelaide

Time to drop Pendlebury, just looks too slow. Needs to find form in the twos.
He’s wasted in the twos I reckon.
I’d rather progress the kids.

Retire him.
 
Sorry to all of you but he's still just too dumb and slow for me. I just can't get on board with him.

That handball to Moore 30cm away from him and with 2 Bombers plays right on him was just....ugh. I can't deal with that shit. I can't.
ps at least Darky might give you a like.


But have to admire your courage to go against the (tidal river) flow.
 
Elliot in for maybe Varcoe?
Aish in maybe?
Parroting Pendlebury from his own podcast, bringing Wells back for Port is problematic in that he cops a 6 day break into a game at Marvel. Long term plan says all things going well he returns (triumphantly) against Carlton.

I heard the commentators dump on Varcoe a number of times. While I appreciate that you're only suggesting that he might be dumped, I'd like to remind you that you have no knowledge of what the coaches might be asking Travis to do, or of their assessment of how well he carried it out. In light of this, it's a little unfair to even speculate about whether he should play next week.

That is same for every player.

Same with people who Shit on Aish would have no idea what the Expectations is from the Club is
 
But Dalmatian was born into Collingwood’s colours.
A keeper.
Very loyal.
I dunno if we’d have rated him so highly if he wasn’t a father-son pick. Getting by on his Dad’s coattails if you ask me.

Although he is a good boy!

Agree.
And his mother I heard was a real bitch.
 
I'm a little nervous Cox may struggle to get up this week. He looked very sore when he came back on in the last quarter.
I think he’ll be good to go.
He’s a stayer if nothing else.

That was a smart handball. He had noone to release to, couldn't hold on to it himself because he had had prior, so he ensured a stoppage occurred.

On the slow front, how many times does he need to come from nowhere to get a fist in before you realise he aint slow.

Certainly not dumb, not really slow. Otherwise you’re spot on.

I have to ask whether you’ve been watching footy in 2019? Rightly or, IMO, wrongly that exact same handball is executed 50 times a game. To use it as justification for dropping Langdon doesn’t add up.

well i'm sure sideswipe will support me on this one. we shouldnt be giving opinions when we havent got all the facts. He's a strong supporter of this view and I just think that he has overstepped the line here..

Then won't be happening on here then IF we did not talk about how we think the Players are Going
 
So far this season ive read in these upcoming changes thread

- Drop Pendles hes too slow and games past him ( this is not in reply to the sarcastic posts in this thread but two weeks prior where a poster was adamant he was done and was time to play someone else)
- Drop Langdon , too dumb and slow
- Drop Stephenson , he has second year blues and looks cocky , needs to find form in 2s before coming back
- Cox to VFL , offers nothing If ball goes to ground (Hoping this poster saw his run after Saad on Thursday)
- Drop Mayne he has curly hair

Im all for making players earn their spots and not gifting games. But you dont just drop players who are entrenched in the 22 on the back of one bad play or a bad game or two. Our depth is pretty reasonable but im pretty confident we dont have a pendles replacement running around in the 2s
 
As for Langdon, nobody in the game is under more pressure than the defenders fighting for the loose ball on the defensive goal line.

Clangers will happen. At the end of the day the backline defended a 5 goal lead for three quarters despite Essendon winning all over the park. They won us the match.

Drop Hoskin-Elliot. Don’t like hyphens. And Grundy... man bun.

You're wrong.
Langdon has become a fantastic player and would be best 22 at any other team.

To be fair, i'm not sure this indicates speed.
If anything, it indicates the fact that he reads the play and the ball in the air as good as anyone in the comp.
For me, that's better than just pure speed.

I’m not using that handball alone as justification.

It’s a body of work he’s put in as to why I’d drop him. But I’m already aware it’s never going to happen.

So it ultimately doesn’t matter.
