Preview Changes vs Bulldogs

[Arsene Wenger]

Any news from MRP, when does that normally come out?

Later in the arvo.

Just watched AFL website assess the incidents. They reckon Amon gets 2 maybe even 3 and they reckon Howard gets 1 week.

If Amon gets 3 for that, that is ridiculous.

 

[SureBuddy]

I love how Amon can potentially get suspended for 2+, purely because Rohan is a moron who was completely oblivious to his surroundings. Amon basically only held his ground.

Dougal on the other hand, what an idiot. Deserves a game for throwing a punch to the guts so far off the ball. He’s just stepped into such an important role and in an important part of our season and does that? Sigh.

Was Harry Taylor pinching him. His reaction was like Taylor wouldn't let go of jumper

Amon
1 week - Plays for interstate side
1 week - Hit a "good bloke" of the AFL
1 week - He's indigenous, statistically indigenous players get suspended for longer

Good luck Karl "Killa" Amon.

Not Rohans first hit after wandering around aimlessly on the field, didn't someone from Norf give him a whack?

Geelong, the AFL and the Melbourne media are making sure that Karl will sit out for the next two weeks. Dougal will most probably get a week. Of course it’s because We Are Port Adelaide.

If it was Ablett the player hurt would have got a game for bringing the game into disrepute.

 

[manureid]

Hang on, I thought it was 3 strikes and you are out? That was the rule for Godfearing Gary.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

The almost pathological dislike that a percentage of this board have for Westhoff is over the top. He hasn't been playing at his best and I've got no problem with Hinkley making him earn his spot back. But to ignore the fact that Westhoff at his best makes us a better team is being willfully ignorant.

The pathological dislike comes from being the flakiest, unreliable player I’ve seen in the guernsey.

 

[240volt]

The gut punch was pretty stupid by Dougal.
That sort of thing was kids stuff in the 70’s but in today’s non contact game your going to be in trouble.
Just goes to show you can make a fortune playing AFL and still be as thick as two bricks.
Amon should get off because Rohan is a tool for wandering around like an unregistered Dog.

 

[ozaddy]

One match for both Howard and amon

 

[Port 2004]

One match for both Howard and amon

That is absolute bullshit. When we consider how Ablett and co have not been suspended in recent times, it just goes to show what ******* corrupt cheats the AFL really are.

Ken will be stoked... Gives him the excuse to bring in Westhoff on the wing and Ryder in the 2nd forward role.

 

[The Rubber Man]

It’ll be Ryder for doogs now

Be good to see Ryder, Lycett and dixson in the team together

Of course Amon and Howard were going to get done. I'm ******* sick of the vfl.

[bringbackbucky]

Marshall, Westy, Ryder or Frampton to replace Doogs?

 

[Ports1870]

In: Drew, Frampton
Out: Amon, Howard
Ryder, Westhoff, SPP shouldn’t be back in without a game in SANFL after being dropped.

 

[Willsy10]

Well that is disappointing.

 

[Adz2332]

In: Drew, Frampton

Ryder, Westhoff, SPP shouldn’t be back in without a game in SANFL after being dropped.

yep this!
Easy!
WOnt happen but should

 

[Arsene Wenger]

on a wet night, i dont see value in bringing Ryder back.

However, as per someones comment above, Ken will be licking his lips at being able to bring back 2 of SPP Ryder and Hoff. They all will "train the house down" this week and be right to go.

Personally, i would go Marshall and Drew in.

 

[Ports1870]

Would’ve liked Mayes in for Amon as it’s more like to like but unfortunately hasn’t been playing well enough. So I reckon Drew comes in for more midfield depth, Bonner can play a bit of wing and Houston can play defence if necessary.

 

[Gryllis]

Surely Frampton is in for Howard (assuming the suspicion stands). Ryder and Hoff can't be considered having not played in the SANFL, and we need someone who can pitch hit in the ruck so Dixon doesn't have to go into any centre bounces, which rules out Marshall. Ladhams also a possibility, but with how much better we played with just one ruckman, it would be the wrong move, even if only for a week.

However, I expect Ken to go with Ryder and for his output to be the same, which will also reduce Lycett's influence.

Drew for Amon then straight back the following week seems fairly obvious. Seems like Mayes has had his cards marked. Plenty of opportunities to play him earlier in the season when almost everyone was getting a game.

 

[jac147]

Billy for Dougal (of course it won’t happen) and Willem for Karl (that’s a certainty I think)
Justin or Paddy to come in for Dougal (it will make Ken partially happy again).
Another possibility for Dougal could be Ladhams (he has a better chance than Billy)

 

[Schulzenfest]

Dougal Howard and Karl Amon have both been charged by the MRO with not being Gary Ablett, will each miss a week

 

[porttoport]

At least he played in the SANFL. SPP had a week’s holiday. I would preferDrew.

Drew played ?

Yeah, that would be my choice.
