Prediction Changes vs. Brisbane

[Forzaport]

This is going to be a boring game.

 

[philthy05]

I am melt

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Unless we win by 120pts the aim should be another 2 or 3 changes next week. Keep them coming to get rid of the underachievers this year.

 

[Power Girl]

Pittard must be leaving, one or two before him id drop.

That is exactly my thoughts they know he is gone and they are not going to waste anymore time on him

Except for when you are an maintenance engineer for an airline.

 

[stewie griffen]

I thought we were really shown up with a lack of pace.

From that pov Neade in is ok i guess, altho essentially him replacing Arch is meh

Pittdawg has been atrocious so thats all good.

Couldnt ask Young to do much more in the magoos

Atley has to be getting close and happy to give Doogs another week or 2

 

[tribey]

We will win this game, Neade will stay in for the next couple, we'll have an inexplicable loss to either Richmond or West Coast, and then Palmer will come in for Neade.

I reckon by then Palmer will have cooled off and it'll be a returning Gus.

Either way, this selection story is as predictable as Where's Dimitri?!

Nah, he's been pretty bad this season. He didn't deserve to return to the side this year as well, like his SANFL games before that were poor. His season has been based on brownie points and it looks like he's used it all up.

 

[Grandaddy J]

All Ken's talk about "Port Adelaide footy" over the years has led us further away than we've ever been from the essence of this club.

We're an absolute joke.

 

[Willsy10]

There's no 'hate', he's just been on the list for 5 years and 50+ games and never improved beyond his rookie year.

Are we in the business of improving towards a flag or back to taking a shine to players who aren't very good (Brett Ebert, Matt Thomas, David Rodan)?

He wouldn't get a game anywhere else.

I'm keen to see how he goes, his last fortnight has been great with his pressure acts. The key ingredient i thought was missing from our forward line last saturday, actually it was non existent. 20 tackles the last 2 weeks, i rate that.

 

[PatientMental]

Man, it's hard to care when the coaches are weak as water,

 

[LFC2010]

That's a bit of a stretch.

Cloke and Adams are both injured and two of those dropped are Tim English, who looks all at sea and Fletcher Roberts, who I have no idea who he is.

Matthew Boyd is 370 years old, giving him a rest is hardly a surprise.

But never mind, you'll fit in well in this thread.

Boyd isn't being rested, Bulldogs just came off the bye. He did stuff all defensively last week and is being punished for it.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

How are Port the only team to not know that Neade is just terrible.

 

[Forzaport]

Unless we win by 120pts the aim should be another 2 or 3 changes next. Keep them coming to get rid of the underachievers this year.

Won't happen. We'll need to lose to effect any change.

If, as expected, we smash Brisbane, we'll make zero unforced changes for Collingwood and lose.

 

[Us against the rest]

Spot on but has Ken got the guts.

 

[Harlott]

Meanwhile looking at what Beveridge has done this week lies the difference between Hinkley and Beveridge

5 players dropped inc.. M Boyd (who's on 290 games).

That's how you send a proper message Ken and co.

Been dropped already this year so not really a ruthless omission.

 

[LFC2010]

I really feel for Simon Phillips, he was about 10yrs behind of time.

Ken would've loved him.

 

[Power Girl]

Nah, he's been pretty bad this season. He didn't deserve to return to the side this year as well, like his SANFL games before that were poor. His season has been based on brownie points and it looks like he's used it all up.

He he has been poor but dear me I've had enough of cruising Hamish only turning up for one game every ten. And there was a plethora of underperforming mids to choose from so singling out Jasper was more about something else. I'm betting JP won't be at Port next season

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

I reckon by then Palmer will have cooled off and it'll be a returning Gus.

Either way, this selection story is as predictable as Where's Dimitri?!

Don't reward the good form of youngsters in the SANFL then they have quiet games the next week while the unbalanced "A-Team" whip a young Brisbane.. decision validated herpa derpa prots powaz

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Pittard must be leaving, one or two before him id drop.

Agree. Pittard's gone. Kenny must be miffed. No one leaves. I smell st kilda. HH should have been dropped before Pittard but meh. Always liked JMP.

I'm not that miffed about Dougal not playing. He's only been back for a while. No Atley or Palmer as emergencies seems bad.

 

[simmo_bc]

Ah Chee and Toumpas are the obvious outs and probably the obvious delistings at seasons end.

Massive call on Pittard, I hope he responds to the axing. Last chance Neade.

Full credit to Houston for making his way back to the side.

 

[Magus]

Won't happen. We'll need to lose to effect any change.

If, as expected, we smash Brisbane, we'll make zero unforced changes for Collingwood and lose.

It's so painfully obvious too.

 

[MotlopRules]

What's incredible is how some posters will pull out literally any excuse under the sun in order to support the unsupportable.

I thought I'd seen it all with some of the mental gymnastics people engaged in to find a reason for Butcher not to come in, or Eddy to be dropped, but this shit with Neade takes the absolute cake.

Literally, some of you, Ken Hinkley could come to your work and take a massive dump on your desk, and you'd be all 'yeah I can see the logic behind that, good decision, good energy, good footy boys.'

But yeah, I'm sure that unlike all those other times that Neade failed miserably to contribute to this team's success, this one'll be totally different. This time he's really going to knock the door down, magically fix all his footballing flaws, play a completely revolutionary role and explode upon the footballing scene like a misdirected north korean rocket.

Some of you should work for the government because your ability to spin utter shit into gold bars is beyond reckoning.

 

[Needs Gravy]

Maybe Neade and Young will perform at the standard required now and into the future this time.

If not try again in six weeks.
