Changes v West Coast Eagles

[EskimoPAFC]

Can you drop a co-captain to the B’s ?

Nope, that's part of the problem. In past seasons when Boaky was out of form we couldn't drop the captain. But at least it was just one player.

Right now Wines and TJ can both play terribly and still play the next week.

 

[ploppy]

Wines should never go in the forward 50 or drop him he can’t kick or mark.
In Farrell, frampton, Marshall and trengove
Out Sam gray, Powell pepper, drew,Bonner.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Ken to bring in AJ so he can tag McGovern again

 

[Macca19]

Who cares really, they won't matter.

Wines, DBJ, Motlop, Westhoff shouldn't play next week and i'd say Butters probably needs a rest too

 

[Pappagallo]

7 touches for Motlop?! That’s f@&king deplorable especially with his Richmond counterparts carving us up.

Drop his ass.

 

[Andre]

Marshall could have been brought in against Bris and an undermanned Richmond to have his break out game. It's predictable Ken will bring him in against WCE where he most likely won't score a bunch against the likes of McGovern, Barrass etc; and will be sent back to the SANFL the following week.

This is what I fear. Complete with smug ‘See you dumb plebs in the outer, you know nothing about football’. I don’t want Marshall in this week because it will destroy his confidence further and only reinforce everything wrong with the club. Leave spray in to be shown up against decent opposition for the same reason. Leave our ****ed forward line in this week then bring Marshall in with the new coach against North.

Outs: Motlop, Jonas, Wines
Ins : Farrell, Mayes, Broadbent

 

[philthy05]

Imagine dropping Marshall for his game then keeping westhoff in after 2 weeks of being worse.


We obviously can’t drop westhoff but this is the hole Hinkley has dug himself.

 

[drcollossimo]

Yep.

If Duursma kicks that goal we’re 3-1 and flying.

I don't remember port fans complaining when we were almost 3-1

 

[Forzaport]

Apparently Ken was "sick of Wingard's bullshit".

That 3 year extension cost us Wingard. There, I said it.

 

[Contested Marx]

Yep.

If Duursma kicks that goal we’re 3-1 and flying.

It might be the goal he had to miss.

 

[ploppy]

Now we’re in the ******* position where we all know we need a tall forward, but the guy who needs to go for him just kicked 3 goals and isn’t going to get dropped


This is exactly what several of us here have said will happen

To be fair Sam gray can actually kick way better than quite a few in the side and is not the worst.. but I’d drop him unless he plays midfield. We need Marshall or frampton in or both.

 

[Adz2332]

In
Mayes Marshall trengove

Out
Motlop drew sgray

 

[GremioPower]

Frampton can't play for two weeks.

 

[El Zorro]

Lycett? Wtf?

Ryder, Lycett, westhoff out
Pudney, trengove, woodcock in

 

[snozulu]

Play the kids.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

That 3 year extension cost us Wingard. There, I said it.

I'm not sure thats a hot take.

Its hard to imagine Stewy Dew having a character conflict with a half-forward who has immense talent but only really gets up for big games

 

[Port85]

We had a grand total of what 1 goal from a tall forward today?

We are absolutely cooked unless our midfield dominates play, in any game.

Our stocks consist of 1 good player with a broken leg, 2 resting rucks, a utility who plays better on a wing or behind the ball, a 10 gamer and a 1 gamer.

If we end up +10 in inside 50s we might be ok but otherwise we'ce got nothing.

As far as I am concerned the worst thing that could happen is sneaking into the finals.

 

[PAFC66]

Motlop can *off that's for sure. 7 disposals is a disgrace .. Geelong win that one.

 

[Forzaport]

It’s not a hot take, I’ve implied it before. Just wanted to be explicit this time.

We wont sneak anywhere.

You'll be lucky to get 6 wins out of this lot. You can bookmark this. They'll finish close to bottom 4.

 

[Capital Power]

I'm kinda leaning towards no change. Bringing Marshall and some fringe players in for a game we'll lose by ten goals regardless would just cement Ken's decision to omit them in the first place.

 

[Port85]

We're the very definition of mediocre We won't win less than 8, probably more like 10-11.

We'd probably be better off long term if we only win 6 games this year

 

[PowerLil]

Frampton and Marshall in.
Westy to the wing.

Don’t care for the rest

Frampton is suspended for 2 weeks!
Westhoff was on the wing and got bathed by Brandon Ellis ffs.

 

[Janus]

Out: Bonner (3 contested possessions, 0 tackles), Byrne-Jones (3 contested possessions, 1 tackle), Jonas (4 contested possessions, 1 tackle) Motlop (1 contested possession, 2 tackles), Butters (1 contested possession, 1 tackle)

In: Broadbent, McKenzie, Lienert, Mayes, Marshall

And tell Ryder to stop being a soft**** and ******* take the helmet off.

 

[Forzaport]

Bonner never should have held his spot, was ball watching much of the night
