Pittard a late withdrawal and Stevenson comes in (FMDT) according to the Port Adelaide Facebook page.

No rolling lockout in DT so that I can bench Pittard for Terlich/Stevenson :mad:

If true, This could really stuff up anyone who used Stevenson in the captain loophole!

I think anyone who did understood the risk of a late change. Stevenson was omitted due to form and not injury or suspension. No, I didn't have him as captain. :p

It irritates me in that I put the emergency on Pittard ahead of Stevenson. If one of my five remaining backs are a late out then it's a donut.

*crosses fingers*

Not what the article says...

Richardson says it is a logical move to bring Stevenson back into the team and that his original omission from the final 22 was not form-based.

“The reason he (Stevenson) was out was because we had one too many defenders once we’d made the decision to bring Paul Stewart back in,” he explained.

“West Coast have a big forward line – Kennedy, Darling, Cox or Sinclair, LeCras – and we had to go in with a bigger defence and one of Pittard or Stevo would miss out.

It wasn’t a decision based on form, it was just ‘horses for courses’”

“Now with Jasper out Stevo has the opportunity to come back in.”

Thanks for the correction. :thumbsu:

Clearly I demonstrated I didn't watch last week's Port game.
 
Have heath coming in for pittard now. Good thing I didnt trade out stevenson- he still has a bit of money to make.
