I don't like the selection of Bowyer. We need at least one other tall to replace Digby and Prenda. Setanta or Bryan should have been selected. Even Bentick or Bannister would have been better than Bowyer.

Should not even contemplate leaving Chambers out of the side. He showed plenty in the preseason games, and deserves a run. His pace and long goal kicking ability could really hurt Port and provide some valuable supply for Fev and Whitnall.

The key again is the midfield. Unfortunately we've been considerably weakened by the loss of Scotland and Campo. If we can somehow manage to get some supply to Fev and Whitnall, Port may struggle. :)

A bit harsh on Diggers getting the axe...

For no-one in particular to come on.

Also Parrot, can you stop mentioning Stetanta until he is elevated off the rookie list, until that moment which may not happen - he won't be playing senior footy any time soon.
 
to be honest diggers looks so out of place in the backline..i thought he was going to be a good player @ north but hasnt really stepped to the plate

Agreed. Chambers was a revalation for us in the Wizard Cup. Why we continue to leave out good damaging players is beyond me. No Bentick, no Chambers. Are they insane?! If Bentick leaves our club for more opportunities, I'll follow him to which ever club he joins............ OK maybe not ;)

BTW, I agree with dropping Morrell. He is USELESS!! Bowyer can probably do a better job at fullback.
 
Are these people insane? He's currently our full back and they ommitted him? Insanity.

No he's not a great Full Back, at best he's a third defender, but he's a far better option than the alternative... what was that again? Norman was on Tarrant when he killed us last week and Norman was on Lucus when he killed us the week before. If ythey were going to drop anyone drop Norman, and even that would be insane without a readymade replacement.

Morrell>>>>> than any other defender we currently have available

Says alot about our defense doesn't it?

Idiocy
 
Yeh Chambers should come in now.

I think Carlton have expected Scotland wouldn't play this weekend, even with the appeal. So Chambers should come in, or possibly Bannister.

I agree, Morrell didn't deserve to be dropped. His NOT a natural defender, he should be up forward but simply we can't play him there. I thought he has actually done pretty well in the back half, some good marks backing in the pack and that. They drop him for Bowyer, isn't he a smallish type player? I can't see him lining up on a Tredrea and giving half a contest.

Ridiculous, should of only been three changes. Campo, Prenda and Scotland out for whoever.

Morrell is still a chance to play though, have to wait and see who flies over.
 
With the Morrell omission, Fev might play on Tredrea since he (Fev) hasn't kicked a bag this season. It might fire him up for the next three weeks :)
