Changes v Adelaide

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

seriously, apart from the cries of people to bring in butcher, what other realistic options are there? The cue is well and truly in the rack already, apart from bonner, there really is no-one else left. And frankly, i see no benefit in exposing Bonner to whats coming on saturday. he can play the GC game.

Best thing for this club is to get smashed. If we win it will create a false sense of hope/optimism.

Not much will change in the off season if we win.

Surely you jest. Every true Port supporter wants us to flog the camries every time we play them, especially when we can hurt their premiership ambitions.

Schulzenfest are you changing your username after Schulzy retires?

I'm changing it to Dylan9

I don't think I've read a more depressing changes thread in recent times.

Fk me imagine if the carries make the prelim, melt city.

An upgrade on that Dylan8 guy for sure,

A bit like going from a Lonie to a Lobbe

Good to see Toump get another go. The rest....lel

I never said I hope it's what happens... It's probably what's best

Like Matthew Lobbe taking a contested mark, you'll post once a month?

"That was the last we ever seen of Schulzenfest"

I agree. Toumpas has deserved it for weeks now. I think Bonner is being made to earn his spot more than most (like Toumpas) for some reason. I don't get what they're thinking has been?

You're just trying to throw us off the "Dixonfest" trail, aren't you?!

 

[PAFC66]

Thought Hartlett would of come up,?

 

[raptalia]

Trengove to go back this week, surely.

Trengove will have to play in defence there is no other option.

 

[raptalia]

Have I missed something with Neade? Plays poorly at AFL level, misses the GWS game due to illness but atleast gets him out of the team. Goes back to SANFL, doesn't do a lot, misses last week... But back in the AFL team. I just can't follow the logic.

You are no orphan Sheeds.

Neade is obviously seen as a project player by Ken as he seems to want to play him regardless. Maybe I have missed something but a player who occasionally produces 5-10 minutes of scintillating stuff in 100 minutes of AFL football has no place in a struggling team like ours. Ken would probably get away with Neade if we were a top four side, but we are not.

Neade is physically unable to play modern football with so much running. His tank is the size of a pea. Watch replays. He is shot 80% of time and those running defenders feeding easy goals to opposition usually has Neades finger marks. Embarrassing inclusion. Agree only a down hill skier is Jake due to his severe limitations.

Schulz, why? His body is broken.

Toumpas, deserves a shot.

 

[Malibu#27]

im probably going to get shot down for this, but in the first half last week i thought Lobbe competed well. He got beat in the second half, but his first half was probably hi best for the year (which isnt great). this week he will be a bit better again hopefully.

Nope, you are correct.

Voss intimated that the showdown, particularly this one, is not the right time to bring in a newbie. The annihilation might no be the best for their confidence.

Agree but generally dismiss anything Voss says.

I'd say they are looking at the senior players they have on the list - mostly to see how they fit next year, so they know what they have with Butcher so no point playing him, Neade for me isn't up to AFL - too light, I don't care how quick he is. I'd like Port to get bigger players, like every other team i see them play.

Seeing Broady last night at Talking Footy, and other players during the year, I am amazed at how small we are (body size). Can't wait for Burgess to be moved on.

That would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that Neade has just signed a contract extension and if the club hasn't realised what Neade offers/doesn't offer by now seeing him play a couple more games won't help.

 

[Chizza12]

Neade must have the shortest set shot kick in the AFL, he often passes off from 35-40 metres out! Would be sniffing out Gregson as an upgrade on Neade.
