[Asgardian]

Wakelin can't come in yet, he's listed as another 1 or 2 weeks away with a hammy

Did you know Cornes hates Port supporters? Shows you the power of money huh.

 

[Asgardian]

Yes, Graham Cornes has hated all things Port Adelaide for a long time now.

But I fail to see what that has to do with Sunday's game?

Nope. Kane Cornes. Or was it Chad. Maybe all three.

Thought you might have forgotten this wasn't the port board so I thought I would draw your attention to it.

 

[Asgardian]

I merely posted to discuss Sunday's game with some Demons supporters, this is after all a footy discussion forum

 

[Nos]

I think Bruce will come in, he said before Sunday's game that he should be right this week. Bell I'm not too sure about, I'd say at this stage no because there's no point rushing him back. Also happy to keep him away from Adelaide so either team can't see up close what a gun he has become.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Good luck this week especially if Choppy plays as it'll be his 200th game.
I have a feeling that it'll be a lot closer than what most people think.

Unless Bomber Riley dished out a major ass whooping at training during the week, except a bit of a percentage boost!

Although just try and stop Juicy! Good luck

 

[Asgardian]

Dacking a bloke usually stops his high flying antics.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I think we will go in unchanged.

BTW, Graham Cornes supported Port Adelaide as a kid.

 

[Supermercado]

I expect that the ball not going into our forward line once in four quarters will probably hurt his chances as well

 

[davey_magik]

Is this game televised on FTA or on Pay in Victoria?

Fox. It's the twilight game.

 

[Pipefitter]

[port_brad]

will be bored to watch but i go for percentages!

Strange shake up by bomber

Melbourne Squad
Backs: B.Holland, R.Ferguson, J.Frawley
Half backs: D.Bell, B.Miller, C.Bruce
Centreline: B.Green, J.McDonald, P.Wheatley
Half forwards: N.Brown, R.Robertson, S.Godfrey
Forwards: C.Sylvia, D.Neitz, M.Bate,
Followers: J.White, B.McLean, N.Jones
I/C From: B.Moloney, S.Buckley, M.Newton, D.Ward, M.Jamar, L.Dunn, C.Garland

Team Changes
In: C.Bruce, D.Bell, B.Holland, R.Ferguson, M.Jamar, L.Dunn, C.Garland
Out: C.Bizzell, N.Carroll, P.Johnson, C.Johnson (all omitted)

I think Holland might play forward or in the ruck if they leave Jamar out. Carroll for Ferguson is a strange decision, as are the ommissions of PJ and Bizzell. Likely Emer: Jamar, Dunn, Garland. Can't see Moloney or Ward being dropped, and bomber couldn't leave out Bucks or Newton. Maybe there is an injury concern over someone.

Ok anyone who now thinks we are not tanking is out of their mind. This is a tank of carlton-esque proportions.

What does it matter, even at full strength Port would beat us over there. If we keep this team for the rest of the year then maybe it is a tank, but on the other hand Bell and Bruce are back in.

Port team

B: Michael Pettigrew, Toby Thurstans, Jacob Surjan
HB: Michael Wilson, Troy Chaplin, Peter Burgoyne
C: Kane Cornes, Shaun Burgoyne, Nathan Lonie
HF: Danyle Pearce, Warren Tredrea, David Rodan
F: Daniel Motlop, Justin Westhoff, Brett Ebert
Foll: Dean Brogan, Chad Cornes, Dom Cassisi
Interchange from: Travis Boak, Dean Brogan, Alipate Carlile, Robbie Gray, Nathan Krakouer, Nick Lower, Adam Thomson

IN: Krakouer, Lower, Thomson
OUT: -

Looks like
Treadrae - Miller (ouch)
Westhoff - Ferguson
Ebert - Bell (solid match up)
Motlop - Frawley

Neitz - Thurstan (could work out well)
Robbo - Chaplin
Newton - Pettigrew
Bate - Surjan
Holland could go forward and stretch their defence, and kick 1-5

Agree with port beating us, we play like the under 10's at AAMI stadium.

But why would we drop probably our two best defenders for the year, and our up and coming ruckman for??

Bizzell may as well retire now if he can't get a game in this team. Poor crunt has gone alright in the last few weeks as well.

Exactly. I thought he was our best defender last week.

At least Riley has the balls to drop people I guess. Would have come in handy earlier this year or last year, or the year before that....

-----------------------------------------------------
1) Perhaps the emegencies are Ward Buckley & Garland
2) Nathan Carroll should be dropped based on poor performance throughout the season. Carroll can let the team down when the defence is under pressure.
2) Ferguson on Full Back is one option. At least the club is trying something different to explore options. Let's hope Ferguson plays well and stay injury free.
3) P Johnson omitted? Very unusual.
4) Holland? Not too sure if a player like him would suit AAMI.

Well, normally AAMI is our "Nighmare Ground". I guess it's a good time to take a break away from footy due to the horror run. Rather do boring activities instead of watching/listening to the match.
