I'm not sure hotdogs and healthy options can be used in the same post

It could be sauerkraut.

Bloody germans. I thought we won the war. They're making us eat sauerkraut now

is set for a weekend on the sidelines.

After experiencing ongoing symptoms from a collision occurring during a pre-season match in Perth, Boak underwent further follow-up imaging, which confirmed a rib fracture.

The 34-year-old also sustained a lung contusion from the incident, so will sit out Round 1 to progress his recovery.

In good news, Horne-Francis and Rioli are set to don Port Adelaide colours in front of home fans at Adelaide Oval for the first time.

Following a highly publicised trade, Horne-Francis has excited fans since landing at Alberton in November, while small forward Rioli has been training at full capacity after missing a pre-season trial match due to illness.

will make a long-awaited return to the top level, after both players were hindered by injury throughout 2022
The tactical substitute will be named from the emergency group an hour before the 4:05pm first bounce at Adelaide Oval.

[Hot Port]

Boak will miss

 

[PJ Power]

The main surprise/contentious point is the non-selection of Burgoyne. Jones and Farrell being the two “lucky” selections.

 

[Ah12]

Jones over Burgoyne is complete madness. Thought Jase wouldve been a good matchup for Charlie Cameron

No bourgoyne lol Cameron to kick 5

What a bunch of pathetic coaches

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

The main surprise/contentious point is the non-selection of Burgoyne. Jones and Farrell being the two “lucky” selections.

Jones VERY ‘lucky’. Farrell not so lucky considering he actually has shown he can play at the level. Burgoyne should be in ahead of Jones on both preseason and last years form. Unusual.

 

[Ports1870]

Burgoyne should be in over Jones.
Lycett needs to be replaced very soon.
Would assume Boak comes in for Drew when fit.
Hopefully Pasini can overtake McKenzie soon.

 

[afl2004]

Remember we drop jase for the demons game and pickett kicked a bag and every other week jase played the oppos small forward had no impact lol

 

[SureBuddy]

Look I am very glad they went with McKenzie. Not because I rate him that highly, but the experiment of only Jonas and Aliir just did not work.

 

[manureid]

No Burgoyne is classic Portz.

 

[bomberclifford]

I’m ok with this.

 

[TeeKray]

I'd have Burgoyne and Evans ahead of Farrell and Jones but it's picking at the fringes.

You suspect Jones misses out if Boak were fit. The interesting question is who would've missed if Finlayson were fit.

 

[Ports1870]

I think it would be Georgiades, but I would rather it be Lycett and just go with Finlayson/Dixon again

 

[dirty2]

Maybe when we hire a coach DBJ might get dropped.

Burgoyne in! Some useless happy clappers/true believer out.

 

[Black 18]

They were always going to play because Ken can't coach but any team with DBJ & Lycett is not serious.

We'll need to wait another year to see Lycett dominate another internal trial and god only knows what DBJ thinks he's doing these days.

at the end of 2017. How lucky is he that Port exists.

 

[Willsy10]

Why are we only just finding out about Boak now, I thought we were at full strength. Sick of the smoke and shadows behind the window.

[Gryllis]

Haha Boak on the radio this morning talking about how we have a full squad to choose from and how his Mum will be over for round 1.

Then isn't playing.

 

[JimmyBC]

We need a look at life after Boak tbh.

We've now won the game because Brisbane thought Boak was gonna play.

 

[Grave Danger]

With 9 more umpires required (unless some of them double up) there'll be a fair few "never heard of thems'. They've finally brought Razor Ray back from exile though, probably through necessity - he and Eleni will be doing the SUNS v Swans game together.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Our squad is old as hell. Hinkley is all in baby.
