Preview Round 6, 2021: Port Adelaide v St.Kilda - Adelaide Oval, Sunday 25th April, 6:40PM AEST

[ScrappyDo]

Its a joke
And weak and gutless by Ratten

Yep. Disgusting

 

[George]

I used to

 

[ScrappyDo]

Bytel had 4 kicks yeah?

Displaced by Dunny.
Weak as piss from the selection committee.

 

[kernelT]

Displaced by Dunny.
Weak as piss from the selection committee.

Huh?
Dunstan dropped.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Huh?
Dunstan dropped.

Assume he means last week when Dunstan could only play in the middle and so Bytel got less time there?

 

[ScrappyDo]

Huh?
Dunstan dropped.

Last week

 

[ScrappyDo]

I'm not unhappy about Bytel getting dropped, but we really should have played him in the VFL today.

Needs to play some VFL footy and get some touches

Be honest. You've always hated him.

 

[lewdogs]

Assume he means last week when Dunstan could only play in the middle and so Bytel got less time there?

Pretty sure that's a myth though looking at the centre bounce attended stats.

 

[kernelT]

Be honest. You've always hated him.

Bytel? WTF, go take a bex mate, I'm a fan.

It was already mentioned by brutThough that he had 19 starts in the middle our 3rd highest behind Steele and Crouch.

 

[Plugger35]

Why is Joyce in? I hope he has improved since the last time he made an AFL appearance as he looked well out of his depth back then,

Like most of us here I'm not happy with Bytel being dropped, we need to get games into him at AFL level, maybe Ratts though he was due for a rest.

I'll back his judjement, for now.

 

[BrutThough]

Assume he means last week when Dunstan could only play in the middle and so Bytel got less time there?

Bytel had more CBA's than Dunstan but less disposals.

 

[bird_man]

Be honest. You've always hated him.

Haha, what?

 

[lewdogs]

Bytel had more CBA's than Dunstan but less disposals.

It's a classic example of someone saying something on big footy that then becomes fact... "Dunstan is taking Bytels spot in the middle Bytel has played forward the whole game"

 

[George]

Hope we give Coffield a run in the midfield tomorrow now that Joyce is in.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Pretty sure that's a myth though looking at the centre bounce attended stats.

Ok. Misinterpreted what he must have meant then. Because Dunstan isn’t playing this week, so not displacing Bytel.

 

[Mikka84]

Guaranteed bottom 4 side after tomorrow and possibly bottom 3. After 6 rounds it’s nothing short of terrible really.

 

[lewdogs]

Hope we give Coffield a run in the midfield tomorrow now that Joyce is in.

That would be interesting to see. Surely that's the aim with him eventually.

 

[BrutThough]

People aren't wrong that Bytel was moved forward, but it was for Sinclair who attended 5 CBA's all in the last quarter. Ratts said it was to get some speed and creativity into the struggling midfield, and he was pretty happy with what Sinclair did.

So in Ratts own words, wasn't to accommodate Dunstan at all. But I'm sure him and Ross will still be blamed.

 

[BrutThough]

Game hasn't been played yet.

4 points moves us up to 11th.

 

[George]

Not the whole game but wouldn't mind seeing him in there for a few setups. He brings something different to that midfield group.

 

[Mikka84]

Guaranteed bottom 4

 

[BrutThough]

Guaranteed bottom 4

Yet only 1 win off being equal 7th.

 

[lewdogs]

Guaranteed bottom 4

 

[kernelT]

Guaranteed bottom 4

Booooo, get off.

 

[George]

Guaranteed bottom 4

Can't have the rainbow without the rain
