He really heaped praise on Ladhams though. I reckon he will get a chance some time this year.

I would be resting Ryder against Gold Coast in round 9 and playing Ladhams.

Magpies forward ruled out, veteran gets his chance - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-01/magpies-forward-cox-ruled-out-veteran-gets-his-chance

Somewhat lessens the blow of TJ being unavailable

I have read "Magpies forward ruled out" and thought it was Frampton!

Collingwood big man Mason Cox has been ruled out of Friday night's clash with Port Adelaide due to injury.

Collingwood's injury-prone tall, Ben Reid, will come in for his first game of the season, with Cox unable to recover from an ankle injury after a collision with Michael Hurley on Anzac Day.

Prepare the Spuds who tear us apart thread.

 

[RossFC]

So who will Howard and Clurey go on? I'm assuming Lienert can be freed up as a flanker.

Congratulations on your 6 goals Ben Reid.

On Motlop - he is really the only like for like Robbie replacement who can play forward and mid.

- Amon coming in would likely push S Gray forward, with Amon onto the wing.

- Farrel coming in would likely push Butters/Rozee into 50/50 forward/mid role Robbie has so far this year.

- Frampton coming in would do the same, with Westhoff pushed almost permanently to the wing.

Motlop’s best is the best of all the potential candidates, and will at the very least force Bucks to try and cover him with someone decent. I’d hate to see Rozee given the sort of attention that would have been otherwise reserved for Robbie.

Great for their development

I hope everyone that says that a 5 goal loss would be an acceptable result is willing to wave their right to melt at the end of the game.

Funny how we have people carrying on that we aren't Port Adelaide anymore, that we've diluted our mission statement and that Ken is a loser in his very being.

There's a difference between expecting better and accepting reality.

I accept that we'll likely lose by around 5 goals because we are riddled with injury, we are very young, and we are also largely still unproven. I don't want that result to happen, but I accept the reality that anyone in their right mind, who is going to predict a result, would anticipate a loss like that.

I however don't accept this as an acceptable status quo, and hence reserve the right to expect better from this team. I want us winning premierships, not just accepting being competitive and/or making finals.

Farrell was pretty poor last week, similar to Broady. His disposal which is usually his 1 wood was pretty off.

The players last week putting their hands up were Frampton, Trengove, Amon, Mayes, Atley, Ladhams, Garner and to a lesser extent Motlop.

I would be surprised if Farrell came in given he is behind a fair few, he needs to string together a few good games in a row first and he's only played 1 good game for the year. I'd be less surprised if Broady was picked just because he has experience, but I would hope we do not go that way as he really hasn't hit his straps yet.

If I was selecting for short term results, and to only win this week I'd pick
IN: Frampton, Amon, Trengove
OUT: Marshall, R Gray, Drew

If I was selecting with a longer term view
IN: Amon
OUT: R Gray

I'm preparing for Reid to kick 5 and look like peak Carey on Friday night then go goalless for the remainder of the year.

Motlop should not even be considered. Missing for large periods of the game then bobbed up late when the game was over to pad his stats.

 

[PowerBaz]

Out R Gray in Sam Gray's brother.

 

[PAFC66]

Mason cox being a confirmed out is massive.. evens it up a bit without Jonas.

 

[PowerBaz]

Surely it's Amon.

We will inject run no doubt.

Don't worry or improve our deplorable 45% conversion rate...

 

[PAFC66]

Motlops upside is so much better than Amon. I'm confident he'll lift for a big game here in Melbourne. He'll definitely be in.

I would so rather we inject goal kicking efficiency. It will kill us at some point soon.

That's the thing as much as he gives me the shits he's capable of coming in and playing a blinder.. he really has been bog average in the SANFL and doesn't deserve to be picked.
