Please put Porter to pasture

I can't handle watching him anymore, I know he tries but he is just not up to it.

You've bagged Motlop and Porter this morning. Fair enough that it's your opinion, but your expectations appear a tad unrealistic to me.

congratulations porter 50 games at the roos just for those who think that he has not been a worthy servant of the club,

Mark porter is a very hard worker and i think deserves a lot of cred for it.

Well the bloke epitomises the club - gives 110%, always prepared to put his body on the line for his mates, never shirks a contest, and he probably cops the most stick out of anyone on this board (barring lil Shane). He probably has the least amount of natural ability on our list ... well no probably about it, he does ... but he gets more out of that limited ability than a lot of blokes get out of their high levels of ability.

Onya, Mark. Let's hope the boys put in a good one for him.

Even tho he is nothing more than a grafter most of the time, I still reckon that his best games are in wet heavy conditions. He gets killed on the speedy surfaces. Probably a case of games when the field comes back to his level.

Porter works hard, but hopefully we can find another ruckman next year.

And if that's your only gripe then Ports can't be that bad. Consider that he spends alot of time on the pine and his replacement in the ruck has been far less an impact. Hopefully this weekend Ports will be given more of a go as the C Bomb isn't there to deny Porter the game time he deserves.

Onya MP, 50 games up in the Roo jumper. So much Better than the last 50 from the other guy.

Well done MP on 50 games for the roos!

On Porter, I thought we made the wrong decision taking him off in the 1st quarter last week. He was giving us first use in the middle and we were dominating the centre clearances at that stage. It all changed when he went off the ground.

I think we will see some really good footy from Ports during this season.

I agree, unfortunately it seems Dean has to justify trading for McKernan, at the expense of Ports.

Porter is not up to it.

I cant understand why Petrie hasnt been tried in the ruck this year given his poor form at CHF.

Gee we have missed Spider Burton.
