HAHAHA i nearly went to this game and would of spent close to a grand for the trip . God i knew i made the right call

 

[Raffo]

Are you saying that if anybody wants to make a post criticising Neade that they also have to include in that post everything else that they think is currently wrong with the club?

Not at all, in fact no one will (or should) change how they post because some stupid Neade fan says so.

I'm just pointing out that he's often (I think) unfairly singled out. I mean on one thread I saw the same poster post similar anti Neade messages about 3 times per page for about 3 pages straight - I haven't seen that level of disdain for a current player before, but then I haven't been here very long.

I hope that he all proves you Neade hating Campaigners wrong! (hahaha unlikely I know).

 

[afl2004]

Hartlett has been pathetic for the last few weeks and last week was country footy level player. Very very lucky

 

[Magus]

Eddy was a late inclusion in JLT3 with Robbie being a late out and earned himself a spot in round 1. He wasn't expected to play after that game until Hammer pulled out late against Fremantle.

He essentially hasn't been considered for a call-up since Round 1. This is ****ing ridiculous no matter how you look at it. Our forward line is a shambles and we continue on with the same shitty setup even though it clearly isn't working.

 

[Waspy79]

Considering its Trengove and what he did for the club last year, yes it certainly is....

But there plenty of players i wouldn't say that about, and its the only way the deserving young players will get a game, just like last year.

What would have done in Trengove's position? His brownie points accrued last season have expired. We need a genuine second tall forward option. Move him to defence or drop him Ken.

Ken will never drop him. No luck involved in his place in the team at all.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Neade, Young, S Gray ect.

Throw in the injured Boak and R Gray

Perennial underachievers in Hartlett, Pittard, Trengove

Literally a 3rd of the side that Ken prefers is not finals standard. Forget premierships, that hope ain't happening again for at least 6 years.

That i disagree with, i think we have a good enough list, given a good run with injuries. What we need more then anything is a good coach, not someone that hands out golden passes.

Dropped him last year.

 

[Tredz]

Neade went missing until his last 3 SANFL games before getting called up.

Respectfully disagree - hardly "went missing".

Round 9: Leading Tackles (9), Leading Frees For (3), Equal 3rd for I50's (4), Disposals (20)
Round 8: Equal Leading Tackles (11), Equal 4th for I50's (4), Disposals (21)
Round 7: Leading Tackles (12), Equal 2nd Frees For (2) Equal 2nd for I50's (3), Disposals (11)

 

[B0ydmoan]

I think we'll miss the 8 unless some drastic changes are made.

Lol someone's excited, take a breath man!

no Hartlett went out injured, has not been dropped

 

[B0ydmoan]

Yeah, I dunno Eddy's the answer to be honest. A good target in an SANFL side, at AFL level he's perhaps just a third "tall" forward. Doogs is the man. We need him to be tearing shit up this weekend.

Think about it bro, we're rotating Neade and Gray as that 2ND "tall" forward.

 

[Waspy79]

Why did Kern bristle at Twitmar then? Think you'll find Hartlett was dropped.

Saturday 24 June
Summary

Min 7
Max 13
Shower or two.
Possible rainfall: 0 to 1 mm
Chance of any rain: 50%

Melbourne area
Partly cloudy. Medium (50%) chance of showers, most likely in the early morning. Winds southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h becoming light early in the morning.


So, hardly a great flood therefore no genuine reason not to include someone tallish. Perhaps, Howard maybe/should be a late call up.

 

[GoPorts]

Why did Kern bristle at Twitmar then? Think you'll find Hartlett was dropped.

Nope he was out injured. Dittmar was asking why players like Hartlett had been carried on poor form for so long.

Same question still valid today

 

[finbarr]

Think about it bro, we're rotating Neade and Gray as that 2ND "tall" forward.

Yeah, I'm just saying he'd only be a stop gap solution. Doogs and Marshall are the future.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Ditmar named Hartlett as some one who should have been dropped (becouse he was crap all year) to which ken replied.

"WELL HE'S INJUED CHRIS, WHO ELSE ?" in a very aggressive tone!

 

[John the Butcher]

He slipped. Free kick Adelaide

 

[Lagooner]

Don't knock posters who have passion for this club. #PoorForm

Passion flows in both directions.

 

[Magus]

Yeah, I'm just saying he'd only be a stop gap solution. Doogs and Marshall are the future.

Neither have shown the same consistency as Eddy yet. They might be better in the long-term but the reality is that none of them are getting a look in.

 

[Magpiespower]

Doctor Feel is Simpsons shitposting acceptable social media content?

lol

 

[Tredz]

Have you read this thread at all? Nobody's 'only' whingeing about Neade. Everybody's also whingeing about everything else you've mentioned. You're just zeroing in on Neade because you're clearly his mate or a family member or something given that you barely post about any other topic.

I've read probably 90% of this thread and the vitriol towards Neade I feel is now over the top. He has played one AFL game this year and performed well in the previous few weeks with the Magpies hence his being selected last week. I am also neither his 'mate' nor a family member either - just a fan and 'supporter' of the Port Adelaide Football Club and it's players. I wish each and every one of them ALL the best, hope they play well and are successful in every game they play. Whilst on our list they deserve every support and encouragement I can provide - if by some unlikely happen chance one of them reads my post and knows they have at least one persons support and as such gains a tiny bit of confidence from it then maybe I've fulfilled my role as a supporter. Love ya Jake - give 'em hell this week!

Doh! .
