Yes definitely a big improver during the year, would bring him and Krakouer back next week.

It just has never made any logic when a poster feels the need to express their lack of interest or passion or whatever you call it after a Magpies game, and I swear it mostly happens after a win.
I'm sure the anti-Port supporters won't be too emotional if the Magpies don't win the flag either.

I would be surprised if Sharrad has two bad ones in a row. I think Irra should come in to cover Rudloff position and Ross comes in for Rudloff spot. Obviously an afl player that played will miss.
Oh ok.

I might be wrong but my recollection is sharrad has struggled a touch in the finals series in previous years too. Plays well during the year but struggles when the pressure goes up. Might be wrong but I have this vague memory of it in the past.

Eddy seems perfect for counter-attacking footy, doesn't he?

look an amazing start, don't think anyone was expecting that. Sturt were excellent, don't think they could have played too much better against us (given how well we were going) in the end it was a good tough PAFC win. Lobbe was terrific, Impey looks silk down back, got some good players coming thru in the Maggies (I don't get to see them play unless on TV) signs look good

People were posting about crowd numbers and the low crowds, all I did was comment in an open online forum to maybe explain why.
Sorry to post my opinion opinions/feelings.

I'd love to keep him on the list, especially given we are likely to cull quite a few in the off season. I was very bullish on his prospects last year and his debut was solid. Perhaps he is a slow burn? Persist with him.

There are some posters on here absolutely obsessed with crowd and membership numbers!
I thought he was among our best in the first half but only serviceable in the second half.
Entertaining game yesterday. Umps were awful but so were our attempts to break tackles. Sturt were more intense with their attack on the ball and were by far the more aggressive side + Mattner will be snapped up by an AFL team at seasons end.
Lobbe was great - looked fresh and mobile.
Young did his usual workman like efforts around the packs
Eddy - I've always been a fan. Criminal he hasn't been recalled
Toumpas gives you 100% effort. Underrated year he has had. He may be re-signed for a year.
Atley was energetic and aggressive without a lot of reward. He aint as quick as some say he is.
Palmer - i watched him closely - lacks speed and his ability to clunk a mark has disappeared. Played as a tall which he is not. Two goals=tick
R Young - definitely AFL standard with a pre-season on the weights
Hewitt - was he injured or didnt make the team - missed him
Monfries has lost so much weight/muscle - a shadow of his best
White had flashes of brilliance but seems to be on the way out
Overall a great game of contested footy - Sturt showed us up with structure and intensity but we scraped home somehow.

that's what I find so very amusing about these sanful clubs if they truly want no afl in the sanfl then perhaps they should stop raiding the contingent of ex experienced afl players for their own needs
It's more the grassroots whinging that gets me when every time they could start plugging games into local lad Joe Blogger they take the AFL delist bin 9 times out of ten.

I was otherwise employed doing stuff around the house but son went.
Good first half but Blues got there bearings in the second half.
Tend to think we fell across the line, but really pleased we gutsed it out.
The harder tackling and bigger bodied Sturt side was always going to test us, so hopefully we learnt a few lessons for next week.
Think that this was the first taste of finals for most of our team, and the value of that experience cannot be measured in their development.
Sturt were ferocious in their 2nd half attack, so to quell that and lift at the end of the game was a good sign. Don't think the Blues could have played any better in the last stanza.
Agree the Mattner will get picked up as an assistant for a few years then looking at the big job somewhere. Maybe Port have a vacancy?

I agree with this in the third quarter, but in the first half we absolutely dominated and Sturt struggled to get through our zone. They actually were lucky we weren't further ahead given our dominance from the 5 minute mark of the first to 25th minute mark of the 2nd quarter.
Yeah but Trengove can ruck or play CHB if needed- Eddy can't.
