Changes v West Coast

[Schulzenfest]

Can we stop pushing this Paul Stewart deserves a game drivel. He adds nothing. Every week a 12 touches and a couple of marks. Kicking is not good. I'd rather pump games into RiBonn.

Stewart is a boring selection but he's fine when we have nobody better to replace him. Cam O'Shea being selected after one of the worst performances any player has ever put up in a Port Adelaide jumper (1 Supercoach point FFS) is our bigger issue this week. We have Kennedy, Darling, Naitanui and Lycett about to come up against Trengove, Hombsch and nobody, Dougal Howard took intercept mark after intercept mark in the SANFL last week and can fill a KPD spot while also helping Trengove out in the ruck, yet we play Mr. "I'd rather handball the ball over my head to a player under pressure than in front of me to an open player" in our backline over him.

5 days later and I still can't wrap my head about what the **** he was thinking. He went out of his way to pick the worst possible option and it cost us a 12 point turnaround. Somebody should check if there's any suspicious activity on anyone in his family's Sportsbet account, that's about the only explanation for that handball I can think of.

 

[stokholme]

Not even surprised. The vanillarisation of the club is complete.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

are the gold passes back ???

They never left

 

[Magus]

If I were Clurey etc I'd request a trade.

This 100% worries me. We have the next generation of full back on our list and he's not getting a game, even with Carlile out. Baffling.

 

[Nemisis]

What a relief! I thought we actually lost to Carlton by two points - obviously we WON!!!

 

[PAFC66]

Hahahahaha!

 

[cmpower]

Did we just forget about Toumpas?

And are we just playing Amon until the indigenous round so he can wear the Guernsey that he designed?

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Play Butch

Why? Howard should've come in

He should've been delisted two years ago.

Ones painstakingly terrible performance doesn't excuse anothers consistent low ceiling games. As if we have no one else to replace them our whole list is flankers.

 

[PAFC66]

Oshea was actually horrible? Worst game I've seen from a Port player since 2012. Ridiculous. Why isnt carlile playing? Why isn't he fit? He had a wrist injury ffs

 

[StrappingTape]

If you were a young KPF\KPD at Port, you'd look around the league and see similar players with your experience getting a go when the opportunity arises when a like for like player goes down and then see yourself stuck in the SANFL. Then I'd look at the history of these players at Port in the AFL and realise maybe I could spend 5 years on this list being told I'm not ready yet and then be delisted without firing a shot and I'd go looking elsewhere. If I were Clurey and it was my career I'd be out of here end of year from this weeks selections.

 

[PAFC66]

Asking for a crowd of 25k at this rate.

 

[Shane_Mag]

What a joke but how many of us can be surprised? same old crap the last 2 seasons.

He'll be back home soon no doubt

 

[Coobk001]

How the hell does O'Shea make the cut. Far out.

 

[Schulzenfest]

The melts could be worse, guys. We could have just dropped Brad 'the next Dangerfield' Crouch to bring in Nathan van Berlo.

 

[StrappingTape]

I think most Port fans couldn't give a **** if only 10k rocked up, crowd numbers are not something to spend your days worrying about.

 

[Us against the rest]

Why? Howard should've come in

Ken thinks O'shea, Stewart and Amon. deserve to be playing before Howard and any one else.

 

[Triple E]

Ah Chee had 8(!!) disposals against Carlton. No qualms about him getting dropped for a superior clearance midfielder in R. Gray.

Van Berlo is still listed? More of a mystery than O'Shea's presence in the team this week.

No one does but others should've been dropped from that putrid performance, I guess the maggies were just as putrid which makes it difficult.

 

[Grave Danger]

Same game last year all the speculation was around Kennedy's bung elbow - would he require an operation and miss the season, blah, blah. He played, they won and kickstarted their drive to a GF, we went into a tailspin...

 

[Steve Dore]

The lack of serious melts is a sign of how disillusioned we supporters have become.


Edit: I have most of the serial melters on ignore so maybe my view of this thread is somewhat distorted.
