Changes vs Gold Coast

[Magpiespower]

BONNER BONER!!!

Lovin' the love for Riley. Sure, his kicking's still a bit dodgy and he runs himself into a bit of trouble but, s**t, if ever there's a perfect game to give him a taste of AFL footy, it's a dead rubber against dead opposition.

And f@%k it, if/since we're handing out farewell games, I wanna see Butch in a Power guernsey one last time...

 

[raptalia]

in - butcher, snelling, bonner
out - schulz, ebert, oshea


thanks for the memories jay, but last week was official goodbye game.
eberts head needs a rest. has had a great year, nothing left for him to prove.
oshea can clear his locker out this week. isnt a good fit for our team, hopefully he fits in elsewhere.

butcher....tease us one last time butch
snelling and bonner to debut. Need to upgrade him first, im sure we have adequate injuries to cover that.

Lobbe to play full game in ruck. Trengove in the backlines.

toumpass gets to go again due to him being young and it was his first game back in.

A player isn't going to be upgraded for one game to go so I doubt Snelling is on the selector's books atm.

Toumpas has been dropped twice this year and has had eight games. I am all for giving Jimmy a chance but not at the expense of others who also deserve a chance. Jimmy will be 23 next year and have had five years on an AFL list and his contract will expire so it should be, do it next year or bye bye Jimmy.

Out: Anyone planning Mad Monday on the Gold Coast
In: Youth brigade 2017

 

[RossFC]

IN: Butcher, Snelling, Bonner
OUT: Schulz, Toumpas, O'Shea

Arch unlucky.

Also adding Austin in for Krakouer.

Krakouer unlucky but I want to see Bonner play.

 

[Chokito]

OUT: Toumpas

Is it going to be another flood on the GC this weekend? Seem to get our fair share of monsoon like conditions when we play there.... or is it just my memory is hazy?

 

[PowerLil]

Nah. O'Shea's game against Carlton was much worse.

Never a truer statement made.

 

[Andre]

Out : O'Shea, Schulz, Neade
In : Butcher, Bonner, Austin

O'Shea for Austin.

Bonner replaces Krak down back, who replaces Neade up forward.

Butcher for Schulz is a no brainer, given Schulz is physically stuffed and rushing Dixon back for a dead rubber would just be compounding playing him injured earlier.

I expect Ken will bring Dixon back though. Bringing Butcher back is an admission his dropping was wrong, and he's too pig headed to do that.

 

[Freomaniac]

I think Ebert will be rested next week. Too many head knocks the past month.

I know you guys are light on rucks at the moment. .

is there a slim chance Billy Frampton will debut this game vs the suns?

Nope. Groin injury the other week ended his season.

Forever?

Long-kicking halfback Riley Bonner and tough midfielder Will Snelling are in line for promotion as the Power — out of finals contention — casts an eye to the future

 

[John the Butcher]

pls snelling pls

 

[tangolikelama]

The only thing i'm excited about this week is the chance Snelling will get a call up

 

[GreyPower]

I dont think Snelling will play this week, but Im guessing that Bonner will.

i dont think he will play, but what would i know? its not like im an state newspaper writer

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Oh so we focus on the future with 1 game left in the season hey?

 

[LFC2010]

Can't believe this talk of playing Dixon just cause it's the Gold Coast.. Keep that for next season, hopefully we don't play them a) away again b) in the last friggin round.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Could we just ring up Rocket, agree that Port win say 15.10 to 11.14 then both groups of players can start Mad Monday early and we have a nice holiday on the Gold Coast.

Riley Bonner had 16 touches by the way and kicked a goal.

Maybe for the melts and symptomatic of this season we can promote Snelling and make him an emergency. Non-travelling of course.

Reality is that Ken should have been playing the kids from about a month ago, but he kept putting up that front like we still had a chance to make the finals.

Would love to see both Bonner and Snelling this weekend, but it's a bit too late.

No point in bringing Dixon back for one game, even if it is against his old club. He looks nowhere near fit.

Same goes with Jonas after so long out as well.

Toumpas was horrible but I think you have to give him another go for his confidence.

In- Snelling, Austin and Bonner

As previously stated, my mail is spot on each week.
The only thing he has gotten wrong this year is last week saying Schulz final game was the showdown. Guess he meant final season!
