There is a lot of consternation around some very marginal calls - which I guess is indicative of pretty strong season.
"Fast but ineffectual" McEntee v. "Slow, lost and confused + misses sitters" Evans v. "Slow, drops chest marks and misses 20 meter passes" Narkle = varying degrees of very average and hopefully all replaced by Rioli and Fantasia come finals.
Lycett/Hayes/Dante/"Just stand there and don't bother jumping" Finlayson as ruck = varying degrees of ineffective.
These are not the selections where the game will be won or lost.
Boak as sub might work quite well. Similar to how older stars can sometimes be effective in soccer coming on as subs once the pace has gone out of the game.

No. Teakle should never play for us again under any circumstances. Lycett, Hayes, Dante, some combo of Finlayson/Dixon/Lord all preferable. Teakle may be the worst player to ever pull on a Power guernsey.
Based on that I guess you're 'happy' with Dante being selected this week.

Knowing that Lycett and Hayes aren't options due to injury, yes I am.
ROB is surprisingly (for his body size) a really hard runner and competes all day. Every chance he would've run Hayes into the ground so that he didnt have the strength / stamina to get to and compete at every stoppage. Saying that I'm not overly confident Dante will be any better but at least he gets to adequately prepare this time.
They won't pick Hayes again I'm telling ya, all I'm being is realistic.

Running the ball through the lines and playing on at all costs is the best way to beat the crows as they try and crowd the contest and get numbers to the drop of the ball.
Butters and Rozee are more important than a ruck. Would even say Farrell and Burton as running backs are key to Ports success. Shots on goal should come pretty easy with this style of game against the crows.

Good thing supporters arent the professional list managers then
Have you heard tje story about why tur sub counts as dropped?You're not really omitted if you're going to play
AFL and AFLPA came together and said we dont think the sub should count as beind dropped, but the champion data software they use to enter the teams doesnt work like that
Hey champion data can you please change it
Yeah sure we can this would be the invoice
Invoice?! What ******* invoice we own 49% of you pricks and this invoice is * all just do it
No.
And that is where that stalemate is out and why the sub isnt listed as in the team

Read that as they were 'sick of' Travis Boak and thought it was a joke post.
Sadly not.
Instead of being at the captains run, I hope they've set up a catch up coffee with a few of the crows boys.
Was confident a few days back

Their mids are slow and s**t users but elite ball winners.
There will be runs of play where ROB feeds them the ball and we don't even get near it.
If they manage to kick half well or their forwards just beat us they can get on a goal kicking run.

Hayes would be picked ahead of Dante this week if fit & will be in the picture again after Dante is hung, drawn & quartered by Rob.
Lycett should have been rested the last 2 games and he might have been right for crows/ Geelong games. I don’t understand why we persist with playing injured, out of form seniors.
Nope I really think they would've picked Dante this week regardless of the Hayes injury. They prefer putting more time into Dante in the SANFL when Hayes is fit.
