Prediction Changes vs. Brisbane

[Pedro59]

Jake Neade is superfluous to any requirement I can think of.
Just another player that is better in the midfield and has less than a goal a game from a forward pocket because hes short so should play forward.

How about we promote an actual forward with some forward guile. Short does not equal evasive, and if you can't be a marking target you should not be in the forward half. Every single good small forward can be dangerous in the air. Jake Neade cannot, Sam Gray at least can have the odd leap.

Good point about a small forward needing ( excuse pun) to be dangerous in the air
Wingard Robbie and Monfries def are dangerous in the air

Shame about Jakey though because at his best he is everywhere in the F50 veritably stitching and connecting the forwards together. We have seen him with that bump vs Richmond , bring down ruckman in tackles etc
The guys got electricity and has popped up for 3 goals in games whilst contributing to others and has good D50 pressure

So it's a bit reliant on other personnel in the team
Just like this team defence thing ... we can only afford to have one who is not the best at it ( Robbie)
Similarly I suppose if we had another tall in ( Eddy or Doogs) then it may compute to have this dynamo in the side
but I agree we don't want him Brett Eberted ie setting him up as a KPF

But again I don't like too much criticism of Jakey as I think he is more a victim of coaching selections and other personnel in the F50 than lack of talent

Sorry for butting in guys, Joe Atley is one who I liked the look of in the JLT games. We had two picks before him and I had my fingers crossed for him.
Is he doing something wrong in the SANFL? Does the coach not like him? I would have expected him to be in before Sam Gray.

Again, sorry for the intrusion.

Meltday has finely arrived,cant wait to see those names Neade and Young as ins knowing within a couple of weeks they will be the outs making way for two more useless inclusions.Atley will most probably have 75 disposals this week playing for the Magpies but will need more time to develop as Ken only rewards form players. Thing is even if we murder Brisbane all it will do is keep players in the team that should not be there. Thanks to Ken Port has become a us and them side with the inner circle having no pressure on them to perform. To me its very sad my club has come to this after all the years of seeing past players giving there all for very little financial reward. The only saving grace is this cant last forever.

Bit like the Aussie cricket side of the past. Once your in the team its almost impossible to be dropped and trying to get in is like getting into Fort Knox. The Inner Circle club.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Atley for Toumpas
Young for arch (even though I don't want him dropped)

I could live with that.

They will probably go neade for s.gray as well

Ah, bummer for Joe!

 

[Waspy79]

Nothing but a hunch, but I reckon Pittard is going to get dropped.

 

[raptalia]

I would stick with Pittard and S Gray as they have done the job in the past but the guy I would drop is Hamish Hartlett. This guy has been a real disappointment over the years. It would not be so bad if Hammer's face was not all over the media telling us what the players need to be doing.

Ken doesn't like making many changes but we're sure hoping for a few this week.Atley has been burning it up in the SANFL. Hoping to see him in soon.

After copping a big loss like that on the weekend Ken surely can't put up with that. You'd almost question his coaching if he didn't make a few changes.
Always liked watching Port, mum was a fan growing up so I always keep a close eye on them.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Love how we're more pumped for the (possible) melts than the game, lol.

We're like the Port players stuck in the changeroom before the '84 granny, working ourselves into a frenzy.

It's gonna be absolute f@%king carnage on here.

Can't wait...

There's a strong chance I reckon.

Happy melt day!

There's a thread on this board called "I've lost my faith in Ken Hinkley" that has been going strong for 2 years.

Yeah, almost

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Yeah I reckon one of our half backs for Houston may be the go too...

i reckon you are spot on mate.

 

[raptalia]

Is that because Kornes says he should and the Coaches read Kane's column?

Yeah it's fukn down right embarrassing.

 

[Steve Dore]

Unfortunately Pittard has been getting ahead of himself. He has been playing like he has already signed a new five year $5M contract with Ports.

 

[NEGAN]

Choose your next ins and outs carefully Ken.

 

[Janus]

If you give me a choice between the following options:

Boak at mid-forward, Sam Gray at defensive forward, Wines/Ebert/Powell-Pepper/Ah Chee in the middle

vs

Young at mid-forward, Jake Neade at defensive forward, Wines/Ebert/Boak/Powell-Pepper in the middle

I'm picking Option 2 every single time, purely because it gets Ah Chee out of the side (who we don't need if we have Wines, Ebert and Powell-Pepper) and gets Boak into the midfield.

Drop Pittard for Houston because we looked much better with him making decisions and tell Jasper that Toumpas is in his spot until he starts looking like he gives a shit.

Houston looked our best half back flanker for the first 6 weeks. I still scratch my head as to how he was dropped.

He will be back this week - of this i am sure, provided he is fit.

Let's hope it's someone else

 

[chiwigi]

I'm already above room temperature.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

After thinking all week here's what I'd like to see.

Young for Achee.

Young to the HFF, Boak to the middle.

Howard for Hartlett

Howard to FF, Trengove to CHB, Hombsch to loose man in defence

Atley for Toompas.

We might lose a bit of outside run but we gain a genuine footballer and a competitor.

Neade for Robbie Gray.

Robbie either needs a rocket or a rest. Either way our structure is better with Howard as a marking target and Neade as a crumber than Gray trying to do both. He can stay out til he is capable of being a high half forward.than gets up and down and runs and chases and pressures.
