Prediction Changes vs Fremantle

[ozph1870]

My finger is on the melt button waiting for this team to be announced...

 

[ozph1870]

I'm so happy the coaches have acknowledged drew, I'm going to make a bold statement about him soon...

That to us he should be Willem Dafriend, but to opponents, Willem Dafoe?

Those of us who have seen him play both SANFL games know that the coaches had to consider him seriously.

 

[Kingfish73]

Apart from injury why change a team after our best win in years? Flirting with danger. One player does not make team faster. Eddy is agile as well.

 

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

you also absolutely lashed Bonner and wanted him delisted.

Exactly and its my love of the club thats makes me not want to see this kid put on the strip for PAFC. He is a woeful player, cant kick, has no size and tbh has no place in this team. He would literally need the entire midfield group to go down then s gray, k amon, impey, krak, SPP, Atley, drew, then defenders like jasper, harts, dbj, broady, etc etc then he may have a chance to warm the pine but apart from.that no good.

Listen, your clearly an Arsenal supporter so mediocrity is the norm for.you but Im different I desire success at every moment, and this year anything short of a prelim is a fail! Bonner aint taking us to a prelim.

For what it's worth knightmare rated him highly in his phantoms - potential top ten quality. Rated him best of our lot by the looks.

Agree, one of Eddy's strengths is his agility.

Absurd comments.

 

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

Yea i get it, hes a kid played 2 games of footy blah blah. You cant see his attitude he doesnt go in hard, and whenever he gets the ball first instinct is kick it long as far as you can. This is rubbish, unless that can be coached out of his game, hes not going to be a good player. But coaching him out of his natural instincts isnt an easy thing to do. We get it kid you can kick long but how about you slow down and lower your eyes a hit targets, theres a place for longer kicks in the game but its not everytime you get the ball.

Please before you respond with how stupid i am etc etc go back look at the games hes played, his natural instinct is long long long. His efficiency its woeful at best. He needs a tonne of work, and is that really necessary when you can develop much better players without his poor football.intelligence.

Open your eyes people. He gets the ball and usually thats a good thing but with a player like him that will cost you games. Mark.my words if he does make the 22 this year we are likely to drop in efficiency by at least 8 to 10% (from our already poor efficiency mind you) which even if we player with heart and hit the contest hard etc etc that drop in DE is enough to lose games.

 

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

Btw dropping Eddy is a bad mistake. Wont cost us the game this week but in terms of season long structure its a poor choice. Cumon Kern do the right thing.

i guess you were the ones calling for pittard to go a few years back? changed into a game winner.

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

the more i think about it the more i want atley in for s gray, my only concern is his ability to run out a full game of afl

impey can first learn how to use the ball effectively and also learn how to be a consistent player before even getting a hint of playing AFL

 

[tangolikelama]

Melt.

 

[badbeats]

 

[Jello_B]

Well at least we had Sydney.

 

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

Nope. Liked Pittard from the beggining. Difference between he and Boner is Pittsy went in hard, used his legs rather than his kick when he could and tried to find the better option, although execution wasnt there to begin with. Rather than me get ball me kick ball long me good player.

PORT Adelaide forward Jarman Impey has been brought straight into the side for Sunday's game with Fremantle after serving a club-imposed suspension for an off-field incident.

Mature-aged recruit Brett Eddy makes way for Impey after he had just three touches in his AFL debut in the Power's upset of Sydney at the SCG last weekend.

 

[Doctor Feel]

If Impey plays shit I ****ing hope he is given the same treatment as Eddy.

Why the **** elevate him and play him in every JLT if you are just going to do this for a player who isn't even that good, and bought the club into disrepute over the pre-season.

Elite standards and all that. Should have been made to ****ing work for it. He's not an automatic selection, and nor should he be. He's the shittest kick in the shittest kicking side. Derp.

If there was ever a "gold pass" this was it.

 

[Doctor Feel]

> make lots of changes and freshen the side up with new talent
> beat Sydney
> nah, i liked the team that was shit in 2015 and 2016, lets go back to that.

Ports.

 

[FallingLiefs]

Well I still like the change. way too much emphasis on the height of a player on this board for modern football.

 

[x_les_x]

What was interesting to me was that Eddy was a late in for RObbie gray in the hawks jlt game meaning that he was dropped before the late scratching

 

[Doctor Feel]

But the issue with the change is nothing to do with height.
