Unofficial Preview Changes vs Melbourne

[1970crow]

Yep

So perhaps the coaches, unlike a few in here, are judgeing him against his peers rather than his own historical outputs. Would make a nice change.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Rinse and repeat. A club going nowhere.

 

[Deaneus!]

Dog is good. Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky at dawn, sailors be warned. Wasn’t saying anything other than posting an old saying or whatever that is. But you’re right, i am not a fan of Darwin.

What?!

Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight
Red sky in morning, shepherd’s warning

 

[Elite Crow]

Rinse and repeat. A club going nowhere.

What’s the bet AFC979810 is too busy for the internet until Dmack gets recalled

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Best team on paper for a long while.

Lets hope that translates to onfield performance

Looks well balanced too, with our best 3 wingmen likely to play mostly that role for the 1st time this year.

Back 7 - Talia, Keath, Hartigan, Smith, Laird, Brown & Kelly.

Inside midfielders - Brouch, Sloane, CEY, Gibbs

Wingmen - Seedsman, Milera, Atkins

Forward 7 - Walker, Jenkins, Lynch, Betts, Murphy, Greenwood & Gallucci... with the latter 2 also part of midfield rotations.

Would bring in Mrouch for Kelly or Hartigan & play Gibbs off a HBF.

Gooch & Atkins would want to up their form as there are a few queuing up for his job. Tex wouldn't want to have another poor one either.

 

[Crowboto]

I just cant picture us winning this game.

 

[crowholder]

What?!

Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight
Red sky in morning, shepherd’s warning

sailors and shepherds are interchangeable in this phrase

What’s it got to do with shepherds?

 

[Mike Smyth]

The coaches must really think Gallucci is going to be a good player for us, because he’s had 5 bog-average games in a row now.

Agreed. There was that blatant shirk of the contest in the last quarter when the game was on the line. Not a fan.

 

[Mike Smyth]

I wonder if he struggles to get his body right. Thought he looked like having a good year but is steadily deteriorating.

Was it you who called it over a month ago? Good call if it was. His game on the weekend was horrendous. He was directly responsible for WC's first 3 goals in the last quarter.

I called it preseason when we were talking about how many years our senior players would play.

When Port were formed back in biblical times, this was the original 'saying', as per in the bible is all.

"The concept of "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning" first appears in the Bible in the book of Matthew. It is an old weather saying often used at sunrise and sunset to signify the changing sky and originally known to help the shepherds prepare for the next day's weather."

How so ??

 

[Firewalker]

Bloody hell, how’s Rory Atkins still hanging out on a wing at AFL level after the crap he’s served up

List Manager in waiting. You might need to change your name though - Kane Reid.

Much like Tex, the gap between best and worst is huge this year.

 

[rezagun]

And Fogarty gets on the end of it all at full forward.

Hard to do that when they name him in thr back pocket. But hey as long as big paul hunter gets to play forward its all good.

 

[footy4ever]

I was bemoaning Talia quite a few weeks back before the port game where he was great, and after that game thought he was back, but his movement looks restricted and his kicking is suss. I wonder how much of it is to do with the constant back and hammy attention he gets seemingly every game on the sidelines. If he's injured, give him a few weeks or however long it takes to get him where he needs to be physically because he's a beast at his best. Needless to say we need him at his best.

 

[Murray2503]

Has DMac's golden pass come to an end or is he still ill? Has Campo lost his influence at selection? Probably one of our best teams all year. Atkins, Talia, Gallucci, Walker, Jenkins, Gibbs, Murphy and Betts all under the spotlight and need to perform.

 

[Mike Smyth]

How so ??

We are not a premiership contender so bringing back 3 x 29+ year olds is actually quite pointless. Maybe next week we can bring Sauce, Mackay and Otten in our push for 7th on the ladder.

 

[Bearded Clam]

What?!

Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight

Thats the way ive always believed the saying went too...

Does this ring a bell?
"Daniel Talia. Has he been in the gym too much or has he been eating too many pies?

He looks so turgid he can barely run. He can’t move his legs to kick and is slow AF.

Does he wear an iron back brace or something? Because that’s what it looks like when he moves. I think Otten would be better value ATM."

If there is ever a year you could justify it, the year you don't have your first round pick is it, as there is no benefit to losing.

Though, I too am pretty lukewarm on these selections just as Jenkins should really have been frozen out, though, potentially it's a good lesson for Himmelberg about not letting a sucker take your place.
