[Fizzler]

Accidentally slept through selection but LETS ******* GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Ya reckon the big fella would be out on the deck having a beer & a durry in celebration right now?

He’s earned it as far as I’m concerned

There'll be extra smoke at the Welcome to Country ceremony.

Hayes playing to at least 80% of his talent , makes this midfield group very very difficult to handle

 

[HugeJohnson]

What's the opposite of melting? Bonners softness did not go unnoticed

I reckon they didn't even need to wash his white guernsey after the match, still looked brand new. I'm sure he's not a bad guy and I wish him the best, but I truly hope he's played his last game for Port Adelaide.

 

[Jonts]

Sam Hayes in has really rejuvenated my interest in this one

It kinda feels like we’ve selected John Butcher

All Hayes has to do is get to the contest and compete.

It's a low bar nobody is disputing his ablitiy to compete at the contest. All he needs to do is stay out on the ground for the same 100 minutes that Witts will.

Butcher simply had no talent.

 

[davesnothere]

Touk Miller is a fantastic player who I would be worried about.
As far as Dew I am not sure how many coaches in AFL history have survived 6 years without making a finals appearance? I would be extremely surprised if he is there next year.

He won’t. Dew is underperforming now Suns have a brilliant list with 3 guns coming in with this year’s draft and 2 next year and they are not going to waste it. Hardwick is certain to be there.

 

[PortVic]

Miller will even it up a bit imo, but it would be good to get at least a 5 goal win.

5 goals! Anything less then a Dew sacking is a failure.

No doubt, I'd imagine it's something like this

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Butcher playing for his life in what he thought was his last game and then kicking a goal to the roar of every supporter at Adelaide Oval will always be an all time moment

 

[Handyandy]

Just forget about Hayes.
Come end of season he’ll be off to the AFL glue factory.

Apparently the AFL glue factory will have to wait

 

[JimmyBC]

We'll send WillemDaDrew in his place.

Sad part re Butcher was his kicking action. Absolute gun hobbled by his ugly kick.
I played footy with a guy at high school like him, gun wingman with afl scouts clamouring him, but scared off by a terrible kicking action.

The image they selected for his footy card wasn't very flattering

 

[SureBuddy]

We have won 12 in a row... How do you not have interest irrespective of Hayes being picked or not? lol

 

[Alberton Proud]

Kick with the wind First Quarter !

I suppose Trent Cockchin isn't their captain

Hinkley.

I would be enjoying this season so much more if he wasn’t around.

Butcher would have been an absolute gun if he didn’t butcher the ball by foot

POTY

For those thanking Carr for including Hayes...................

Mid field coach Carr is on record as saying he prefers more mobile ruckman and liked the high leaps of Teakle.
Lucky for Hayes and us, Teakle is injured.

Hinkley.

It's just the PTSD that gets me. Seeing certain things we do just triggers me in ways that are not going to change without a seriously extended period of results (like years, not months), or change at the top.

I was melting hard during the last game, I was infuriated with how we played, it was triggering all the PTSD, yet we found a way. It's a different feeling because all this is stuff we just never did in the past. I also left the game more angry that we nearly coughed up the win, than I was with the last second fluke which was just a comical and insane game winner.

Really struggling to shake all this PTSD. Hope when I finally do, they don't let me down.

 

[Coobk001]

Dixon moving around at training in the video on PAFC Insta, like he's 100 years old. His pace and movement has dropped away significantly with whatever he is carrying this year. Hard to imagine he's going to hold up for a long finals tilt.

The lads need to win a threepeat to get you back on board.

You might have to chuck on 2004 or 1989 in the meantime.
