Changes vs Essendon

[Portology]

Fine with selections.

Moore and Young in the same AFL side *shock horror*

inb4 one gets subbed off for the other lol

 

[SilenceOz]

Things were much better when Jasper was playing...

The board was better, as everyone would just blame him and the board accepted Jasper as the cause of all issues.

 

[240volt]

Was going to say Lockwood as a comparison KPP but he had an excuse.

Lockwood could play football just had shocking injuries.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Who else has had all the potential in the world, started on fire as a tall forward and failed miserably?

You do realise Lockwood struggles to get out of bed in the mornings with his back these days don't you?

Hardly his fault he failed.... Held down CHF as an 18yo

 

[Portology]

Krak does a hammy with that last shanked kick of the showdown.
Well that is just adding injury to insult

Note to all the amateur psychologists out there who pronounced him panicky under pressure... "you were wrong!"

A bit more seriously though, can't be great for Krak to be off any running for a few weeks.

He was a great talent and if not for all his troubles he would have been a star of the AFL.

Talk of bringing in Harvey & Butcher are laughable IMO ... Sorry people, no offense! But we only give them a go when there are three matches left in the season, and we are done and dusted.

Not sure if srs...

We are done and dusted.

We have nothing (of worth) to lose by bringing one of them in.

Yeah but (miracles apart) Krak has till next season to get himself fully afl ready fitness wise

 

[El_Scorcho]

Butcher had injuries? The guy is just a dud.

If you have no idea what you're talking about, maybe you should stick to asking questions instead of making moronic sweeping statements.

Where did you come from and what are you?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Lobe and Ryder to have field day feel sorry for McKernan.

Don't worry in this season Lobbe will make McKernan looke like an AA ruckman.

I do realise this... What's Butchers excuse? Homesickness?

If he has any kind of AFL career left in him it's not in SA. I can see him moving back here and getting it all together. Mate i remember seeing this guy at Gippsland tearing it apart leading to all the right spots, he's kicking hasn't changed. We just can't develop a tall forward.

The word “dud” is moronic?

Isn't a dud defined by a thing that fails to work properly or is otherwise unsatisfactory or worthless?

3 games in 3 years..
For a guy they all called the future it's harsh but true.

Interestingly enough, he is by far the umpire that Crows fans despise the most too. Either he's completely incompetent, or he has something against South Australia.

[raptalia]

It's not his SANFL debut. He played for Norwood

Yes that is correct, but we all know it is Jonas' SANFL debut for Port so maybe it would have been better not to mention previous clubs at all?

The web page I saw accurately says
http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2015-07-23/i-selection-round-17-port
PREVIEW: Power v Dons
Jonas makes Port SANFL debut

and further down it says ...

NEW: Tom Jonas (Rostrevor/Norwood/Port Adelaide AFL) - club debut

That bit is not accurate and also appears in the e mail sent to me by the Club whereas the web site headline you quote does not. Pedantic I know but Tom has already played 69 games for Port Adelaide and we are One Club so he is not making his Club debut and he is not even a 'new' player. As Rusty has posted he is not even a new player at SANFL level. As I replied to Rusty, we already know who Tom Jonas is so maybe it would have been better to have left his 'history' out altogether? That way they would not rankle the old farts like me. It shits me a bit that we did all that fighting for One Club yet we still have people within the Club making a distinction between the Port Magpies and the Power. I hope ttport is not lurking somewhere on this site.

Anyway back to the Essendon game...

Krakouer out injured. Arch and Stewart omitted.
In come White, Moore and the Hoon.

Nicholls umpiring our game again

It's OK - I think the AFL hate Essendope more than the PAFC

I call a 32 - 17 free kick count our way

Watch for the frees given against us at stoppages when the Bombers are going second and third man up and we try and block them. These umpires are looking to impose themselves on the game.
