Murphy spent the entire pre-season training as a small forward. So in Pyke terms, that probably means he's locked in that position all year unfortunately. So unless Betts or Gallucci are out, he's in the SANFL.

What if the club is happy for us to debate mixed messages over Sloane's foot injury, and whether it's the same injury mismanaged, a reinjuring, or a new foot injury entirely, because it distracts us from realising what he actually did at training today was strain a hamstring?

Has Murphy actually played a game since his hammy?... serious question as I don’t get much if any info about the sanfl in QLD...

And it dropped so much that he's not even an emergency? Sure, you believe that.

I am not saying we shouldnt be doing it. But it doesnt make sense that we have done it here. As I have been saying, I don't believe Knight is a guaranteed best 22. We should be investing games in him as well because he is at the stage where he could really take off as a player. He is only 23 and only 30 games played, why arent we still investing in him. Shown a lot of promise, but still only getting the ball 13-14 times a game, predominantly in the midfield. There is much more benefit to putting this game into Riley, rather than Miles.
Fair enough, not having a shot, just making a joke.
For future reference - I do deadpan. If I post something that appears to be odd or even downright dumb, you may assume it was deadpan humour.
Another problem I have with Poholke is I think it extends from that 2016 draft, all the talk out of it was/has been how they had to teach Signorello how to kick, did that make them think Poholke’s kick was fine? It’s dodgy and fell apart against the suns, the big wind up and ball drop makes it look like a country footballer is running around

Have asked the club, I am still waiting on some more information, what i have been told is Its a new Injury. And they will assess in two weeks which is the same info they are giving to the Media.
But one thing this one cannot be blamed on Haas, as Sloane was on a Physio's return to fitness Plan in conjunction the Doctor advice. I asked.
Who cares if he's an emergency or not? If they have no plan to play him then there's no plan to play him.
I like Riley, but I honestly don't think he's going to get much better than he is. Size is always going to hold him back, he'll have his role in a team because his skills are generally good and he can run all day, but unless there's a specific role you have him filling like last year where we started to use him as a defensive midfielder, then he's not going to be in every week.

How’d he go?... did he warrant a recall?..
I like the cut of your jib.

His kicking looked fine in the Sydney game. Even his left didn't look too shabby.

Ready for a nice fun fact: Port simply cannot afford to pay out Hinkley currently. The joys of being contracted to 2021.
Mostly played midfield, got 20 odd touches off the top of my head. Again, he might be playing midfield in the SANFL, but i'm imagining Pyke has him pegged with a different role at AFL level.
If there's anyone bashing down the door in the SANFL side for a AFL game it's Patrick Wilson, but who knows if we'll actually play him or not.
Being managed and named as an Emergency then misses another week
It just doesn’t add up

More the club knows most won't know and don't care enough to put two and two together. It's worth noting that we aren't the majority of supporters, we are the super special minority.

I think it was Scorpus maybe Elite Crow and I (sorry if I've forgotten some others) calling out Knight as having an injury or dropped outright. IMO it is most likely the prior.
An endurance beast 2 games back then managed was always suspect AF. Surprised so many bought what the club was selling tbh.

That’s good news about pat Wilson.. really like the look of him and his massive boot..
Good news about Murphy too.. if you’re right, and it’s just that he has trained in the forwards and thus Pyke will use him there only,then if he’s improving his midfield game too he’ll obviously become an even more valuable player in future..

It is pretty simple everyone, just don't care about the injury reports. Focus on who is actually playing and then when the season is done and dusted have a huge whinge if injuries cost us the ultimate prize. It is actually getting tiring reading the bleating week and week out lately about the hamstrings and the injuries, the same shit every week. An organisation isn't exactly truthful and forthcoming about things that aren't good for it and that they probably have had some control over, what a ****ing shocker!

If it's a midfielder position Poholke is the best choice of the 3 as he has the highest chance of being a long term midfielder. Murphy is a small forward or bust and Wilson is much less likely to make it then Poholke.
I also disagree, Myles is excellent overhead (some of the marks (and a non mark) he took against Sydney were excellent), and he wouldn't be the first, nor the last to have a putrid game early on in his career whilst adjusting to the change in game speed/trying to hard to impress.
Give him time, and you'll be pleasantly surprised with this kid.
