Prediction Round 16 Port Changes vs Crows

[dirty2]

Dont care.

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

Out: Farrell, Bonner, Motlop, Drew, Ladhams
In: Rockliff, Westhoff, Marshall, Amon, Howard

 

[NEGAN]

Why is everyone listing Ladhams? Had a better game tonight than Ryder has played all year.

He is very impressive.

As long as Ebert goes out or ditches that ******* helmet, I'll be happy.

0 tackles going at 23% disposal efficiency. Do you know how bad you have to be to get 23% disposal efficiency on a wet day? The only player who was worse than him on the ground was Trengove - a key defensive player with below average disposal on a dry day - and at least he had 4 tackles.

There would be no disgrace if you retire, Brad. A couple of bad concussions would make me question whether its worth it as well. But going out there and putting in a half hearted effort doesn't help you or your teammates.

Why would he ditch a helmet with his concussion history? Only a imbecile would believe there is a link between him wearing a helmet and a poor gameday performance.

Why would he ditch a helmet with his concussion history? Only a imbecile would believe there is a link between him wearing a helmet and a poor gameday performance.

A wet day requires you to go harder and lower than your opponent. If he's not prepared to do that, he needs to retire. The helmet is supposed to help him with his confidence in doing so, but it's just a reminder that he might get hurt.

He had 0 tackles and 7 contested possessions. Last week, against a better opponent, he had 5 tackles and 4 contested possessions.

So the only difference was the conditions, which are more conducive to contested ball anyway.

A guy like Caleb Daniel who has worn a helmet for pretty much his entire career does so because he was getting concussed going for contested possessions. Ebert only just started wearing one because he got concussed twice in a marking contest. There was a player for Port Adelaide who got concussed badly in a game by Tyson Stenglein. He never played AFL again after that, because he became too afraid.

I'm saying if he's that worried about getting another concussion - and he has every right to be worried because he's got a family - it's better if he just announces his retirement. He's not helping anyone if he's not going to go in hard, because that's his MO as a player. He'd be just playing for a paycheck.

yep i have no interest in any afl game this year im done

come come.. let's be honest - u still have a wee bit of interest for next week's finale..

 

[raptalia]

I have just watched the Magpies v North game again and I have to say that Rockliff, Westhoff, Ryder and Powell- Pepper all played well and if any or all of them were picked this week their SANFL form in trying conditions justifies their selection. If Ryder, Rockliff, Westhoff and Powell- Pepper plus Amon and Howard were selected that would mean six changes.

I want Marshall and Howard back in so Ladhams kind of has to go out. Can’t really have a forward line of Howard, Dixon, Ladhams, and Marshall. The quadrangle of doom etc.

I mean if it happens so be it, we could always throw Howard back into defence. I just don’t think it’s likely.

Wines needs to **** off and have his shoulder fixed. Shadow of a player

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Only going because I have clients in the Audi Club this week.

Going to get ****ed up.

 

[Powerade 08]

Wines needs to **** off and have his shoulder fixed. Shadow of a player

Shadow of what? The player he was in 2014? Don’t think the shoulder injury has much to do with it.

Being unkind to imbeciles comparing you to them .

Stop making comments regarding someone's medical condition and decision to wear a helmet .

I am now thinking we will win this for 3 reasons.

1) We have come off our worst performance and so will be massive underdogs.

2) We aren’t playing in front of our home crowd.

3) Hinkley will literally murder one of our players as a warning to the rest of them. My money is on Riley Bonner.

“This is what happens when you can’t even record one pressure act everyone!!”


“....But I didn’t even play Ken!”

 

[Windy Cindy]

It’s an 8 point game, we lose these so won’t matter who we bring in.

 

[klem22]

Absolutely zero care factor who wins this, the first time in the history of the showdowns.
It is somewhat easy to predict who will win this game, port have been coached into oblivion, Tex will come out and destroy us along with eddie hitting form with 5 goals. Their small men ball handling and ball movement will break the shallow mind set of this PA football club.
The only good thing to come out of this game will be another nail in the coaches coffin.

 

[OneGreatClub]

He is very impressive.

Brogan wants us to make sure we
re contract him. Says he has something special.

 

[drcollossimo]

Who seriously gives a **** we’ve shown no indication whatsoever anything has changed. Win or lose it literally
Does not matter ....

Charlton Heston portrays my view on the state of the place atm:

 

[240volt]

Out Hinkley
In Timmy G

 

[Smithy7]

Port Adelaide is out of the top eight ahead of Showdown 47

 

[crafty_bernardo]

I'm sorta expecting another of those I told youse, emotional celebration's from Ken next week.

So he competed well against Geelong and has a poor follow up game. I can't see how you could draw too many conclusions from that.
