Changes V Brisbane

[Noobz0r]

I can't help but think that there is going to be a mega thread on B13 about Sal next season...

 

[tribey]

all i can assume is that Sal has already told the club he is leaving

theres no other logical reason why he wouldnt be picked after a BOG effort for the magpies yet spuds like McCarthy get games in front of him

Logan is a few weeks younger than him and is a rusted on fixture despite playing like a complete spud all year.

Unbelievable that we'd not give Sal 3-4 weeks if not for no other reason than to see if he has some sort of value in any capacity. That is what teams well out of contention do. Well, up until the great tsunami of derp that has been the Primus era.

if Sal doesnt play this week i will be seriously pissed

"All of our group is on notice," Hocking said. "The new coach, whoever that might be, will be able to sit back and have a look at our list and decide on it. "Our players get an opportunity over the next two weeks to really do something about their careers. "Everybody's up for selection over the next two weeks."

How can banner and salopek prove they're worth keeping playing sanfl...!!!

Ugh..

Our players on notice????? sheesh ... remember 2009 - Primus caretaker: we win some games, no-one goes ... our players looking good for 2 weeks to give all false hope! No!

Ugh..

this is proof we need to get right away from ANYONE who was associated with our last 2 years of mediocrity
Buddha need not apply for this job

 

[PortMagic]

thats the problem- weve entrusted our great club to a bunch of bananas. i dont trust those in either player development, right through to those responsible for club sponsorship

Your optimistic 2 wins ha i picked Brisbane

 

[S.Patrol.G]

Has the club made a habit of bringing one of the emergencies in lately?

Yes and lets hope it continues tomorrow and if Sal plays and is picked as sub im gonna come down to PAFC and kick some ass haha

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hocking and Primus have been saying the players are 'on notice' for two years. In that time, the only senior underperformer who was once a regular fixture in our side who's been moved on is Pettigrew (unless you count Motlop, but that was attitude related, not performance related IMO). You could include Salopek in that, but he hasn't been given a chance to perform, let alone underperform, despite plenty of far worse players retaining their spot. The last time he played a game of AFL he got a Brownlow vote.

Ugh..

Maybe they're "training" well

 

[Chrizzt]

I've just seen that if you show your Flinders Uni student card (possibly applicable to other unis) you can get into the game on a standard terrace for free. Guess we're getting pretty desperate to pull a crowd.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Yeah I think its any Uni Student.

 

[Rexie J]

Moore out for the AFL season......hamstring.

 

[*PAF]

It's comforting to know that this season was all Primus's fault ...

Welcome aboard FF.

Yeah I think Salopek was a little hard done by to begin with this year, but his form in the SANFL has been OK at best, and horrifyingly bad at its worst. Hasn't really demanded a spot at all during the year.

Of course, when Logan and Rodan are getting games ahead of him... no one can make excuses for that.

 

[Schulzenfest]

He's played a hell of a lot more good games in the SANFL than Thomas, Rodan, Brettbert, Daniel Stewart and Kornes ever had to play to regain their spots. So has Banner. The current coaching staff clearly just doesn't rate them at all for some reason.

I already paid damn it. Tell me this earlier next time.

Even if what you were saying was correct, all pretense of picking players based on SANFL form or on the basis of "best in, worst out" went out the widow and caused a car crash when Simon Phillips was picked after a 4 disposal effort for Norwood.

​

lol ... no way would I pick us either ... I was saying I dont want wins by players finally putting in after spudding for the best part of 20 weeks ....to give us false hope like at the end of 2010.

Uncharacteristically mainstream with the lingo there Tribey.

Yep, that would have been a major killer of trust between players and the coaches. Sure there's coaches' prerogative but this particular selection was completely inept. If anything, it should serve as a lowlight of the derp era.

made even more comical by the likelihood that, had Phillips not played for Port, he was going to be dropped to Norwood's reserves.

 

[itisnt2hard]

Not a bad ploy at all to play Phillips. Two teams with average skills means the ball will spend alot of time at ground level. This game will be close and if he can kick an opportune two or three, it may be the difference.
I like it.
