2nds Port Adelaide vs Norwood - Round 10 @ Alberton

[Kiss from a Rozee]

And is Ebert's head calling out Hit me? Thank goodness he wore a helmet.

The helmets softens the blow for his opponents knee.

 

[Doctor Feel]

That Alberton master plan with complete renovation and centre of excellence is really coming along. Progress pics will be up later.

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

I reckon Ebert could come straight in off the back of his second half, him and Wines were prolific.

 

[Interstater]

I really like the guernsey.

Yeh, maybe we should use that one in the AFL.
While were at it, play home games at Alberton.

 

[Sleezy]

Liked a lot of what I saw.

Wines was a beast, and was bursting clear, a clear sign he is fit and in form. Hit players on the lead as well. Good signs.

Drew is a class above.

We were too tall up forward, which allowed some easy rebound at times, as well as getting in each other's way a bit. However a return of 7 goals from Dixon, Frampton & Hayes is welcome.

The backline will benefit from having Bonner & Lienert back there next week. Means Mayes can slot back onto the wing.

Pudney & Frederick were good, in everything. Provided plenty of run.

Grundy did nothing, but neither did Dawes - who is much bigger, stronger and more experienced. Not too bad for a raw kid.

Ebert looked super rusty, but worked his way into it, and ended up as our best kick into F50.

Sutcliffe justifying his selection. He's a good player. We have some solid depth in McKenzie, Trengove, Sutcliffe and Broady to support the kids.

I thought our small forwards lacked a bit however. Cox bobbed up for a couple but was well held. Johnson similar, but had a couple of solid hits. Woodcock was busy but very wasteful.

Overall, I enjoyed that game.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I'm not seeing what everyone sees in Frederick???

That said good game. Frustrating at times especially the umpiring.

Garner just has to get more games this year or we aren't fair dinkum as a footy club.

 

[Leaveit2charlie]

Guessing Sam Hayes just played a couple of quarters?

 

[It Just Is]

Sutcliffe would have been handy yesterday on Walters or Hill. Might be a timely performance from him with Kelly/Dangerfield/Ablett next.

SANFL top-up player to rookie to tagging the most dangerous midfielders in the game in a few weeks. If this happens then clearly promotion prospects are wild at Alberton. Next year we'll be fighting off applicants for the top-up player positions.

 

[Coobk001]

Magpies nearing full strength next week and with the bottom 2 teams in the next couple weeks. Hopefully we can get on a confidence building roll. Just a shame the AFL side is on the crest of another collapse.

Guessing Sam Hayes just played a couple of quarters?

How did he go...just 1st baby steps but important for the young fella...great to ser him playing.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Did anyone go to the Alberton information session?

Was it 2 goals?

We will probably re Rookie Martin Frederick at the end of the year. If he maintains his approach I reckon we could do worse than offer him a spot on the senior list in a couple of years. The kid has qualities which a couple of our senior listed players lack. He is quick and goes at it for four quarters. Given a bit more experience and some honing of his skills I could see him being a pretty dangerous small forward at AFL level.

Grundy has some super athleticism. Big leap and great closing speed. Fierce competitor. Explains why he is a handy pinch hitter in ruck.

Raw boned and hardly touches the ball at this stage but would be playing reserves at Sturt so can't expect him to rack it up at league level. I remember when Tom Jonas rarely touched the ball.

Lots of development in him but he could be alright. Nullifying role is fine for him now.

 

[Jack Grange]

I can’t believe what he said.

The last 2 weeks at Alberton have been huge fun, topped off beautifully this evening with Charlie blowing kisses and stirring up the big mouth Nord w***ers who had been giving him s**t as he came to the bench for the last time in the dying light, job done.
I want Billy to come in next week along with Charlie. They complimented each other nicely, both scored goals and created goals for others. The afl team desperately needs their personality and mongrel - we are so ******* insipid.

 

[Jack Grange]

Marshall feeding the talls inside has been amazing

Where did Todd play?

 

[ozph1870]

It was so good to see decent crowds at Alberton, decent weather, decent results.
The Maggies actually resembled a proper team with a couple of big forward and a great mix in the midfield.
Really haven seen it at any level of the club for a while.

Ollie Dixon drew and Garner, lock it in...

Guessing Sam Hayes just played a couple of quarters?

Off and on most the day. Didn't ruck a heap, kicked a couple of goals, including the first. Predominantly played as a forward. Played well I thought for his first game back in just over 12 months. I really rate the kid, think he has a big future.

I remember Tom Jonas rarely touching the ball too, seems like only yesterday.

Chf I guess ? Just had some nice plays leading up and nice kicks back into 50

That last sentence is exactly right.
So are the two before it.

Well, this is a biased title if I've ever heard one.
