So we lose a defender and replace him with a guy who's been playing forward. Solid.
So we bring in a guy who will be delisted at the end of the season.

What is that going to achieve? Joke of a selection along with playing Ryder before Ladhams.
 
I wonder if Mayes will finally be given a game? Can’t believe he hasn’t played yet this year.

Can’t see why we would select Frampton and SPP is listed as an out so it looks like we’ll have Burton and McKenzie on the bench for sure. Broadbent, Mayes, Sutcliffe, and Drew will be fighting out for the last two spots.

I’m guessing it’ll be a bench of McKenzie, Burton, Broadbent and Drew but maybe there will be a surprise like Frampton or Mayes?

Can someone please explain why everyone is acting like the extended squad are all in?

Its clurey, butters and ladhams out for Mckenzie, duursma and Lycett. We've just picked our best 22 for right now.

Frampton, drew, mayes etc aren't realistically playing unless there's a late out.

I don't really mind McKenzie getting a run, he probably should have played a few games in the latter part of the season, his form's been good. The assumption is he won't be there next year, but maybe he will be...I've got a soft spot for good kicks, we have so few. Shouldn't be in as a KPD though, Howard should come in there, although admittedly Freo look like playing a small forward line.

Given that the second ruck is required to be a ruck/forward it makes sense for Ladhams to go out rather than Ryder, as Ryder is a better forward option in theory...in practice he's been pretty disappointing though.

Duursma picks himself, can't see any of the others getting a run unless there's a late injury omission.
 
MacKenzie fully deserves his spot, been dominating since coming back from the hammy.
Happy that ladhams has been promoted to a finals campaign for a team he has played in all year. A dead rubber against a half hearted freo team who cant wait to get home and on the sniff, meaningless tripe, pointless playing in that nonsense.

As long as Drew qualifies for the pies, that's all that matters.

But having said that, if the crows win and we somehow make it... All bets are off, 100% best side in for the power the following weeks.

Playing McKenzie the day before he gets delisted, bringing in Drew when we're already overstocked for inside mids, and old mate Sutcliffe back in the squad are some more highlights. Typical Hinkley selection night. I can only hope and pray that it's the last one.

I'm prepared for the next Port player movement news to be 'Sutcliffe and McKenzie sign on' right before 'Amon requests trade to Hawthorn'.
 
Fun fact: It's taken until Round 23 for our coach to select Lycett, Ryder and Dixon in the team at the same time. And it'll probably be Ryder's last ever game for us.
 
I reckon it will be

IN: McKenzie, Lycett, Duursma
OUT: Clurey, Ladhams, Butters

Drew takes a week off as emergency and still qualifies for SANFL finals. Frampton, Sutcliffe, Mayes to play SANFL.

Hopefully in round 1 next year Ladhams or Hayes can take Ryders forward/ruck spot.

We've yet to see a Lycett/Ladhams combo with another 2 tall forwards added as well.
