Wright is so far from AFL level he needs a ******* telescope to see it.

He gets torched by quick small forwards.

Macmillan can't defend 1v1 and is a horrendous decision maker. He gets torched by quick small forwards.

McDonald isn't a defender. Gets torched by quick small forwards.

What do port have?

Quick small forwards.

Scott is a genius.

McMillan and Wright in the same backline lol

Port small and medium forwards to have a field day.

Does Scott not realise that McMillan is shit and Wright is cooked?

Comon Port lets make this 100 point win. The quicker this turkey is out the better. Typical Scott, scapegoat the kids while playing your favourite underperforming senior players.

Every game this guy is in charge is just another wasted game.
Self sabotage playing those plodders in defence

Maybe brad has had enough

Couldn’t think of many worse games to bring Larkey into.
It's perfect for Scotts agenda.

"The kids are talented, but they've got a lot to learn and simply just not ready at this level. We need more experience in the side." Souva dropped until Round 23.

This will be the presser after experienced Port side romp us, whilst playing veterans such Butters, Rozee, Duursma, Bonner, Drew and Marshall.

Wright has been a great servant but is cooked. His ankles are stuffed and he can’t move.

McMillan, just lol. Some Port player gets an early birthday present playing on this potato.

McDonald? Been trash for a while now. Instant recall lol

Can this campaigner do his back again and not be able to coach? At least under Crocker they seemed to play with freedom.

So Hrovat the only one who puts his hand up in the seconds yet we pick another tall for a Friday night open air game.

Don't get me wrong I really want to see Larkey in the seniors but this isn't the game to bring him in.

The rest of the changes Meh.

His papers are probably stamped.
VFL form means nothing under Scott.

It’s all about playing the same guys that continually let him down, come up with some lame excuses and then scapegoat the kids at selection.

I have finally had enough. It sucks but I am barracking for us to get flogged until it becomes untenable to keep him.

I'm so sick of this idea that Ziebell in the midfield solves our centre bounces, let alone clearances.
What's more he went in there during the scum game and was exposed for pace.

It is clutching at straws.

Has played a whopping total of 64 games - almost all of those games wildly out of position.

Our VFL side gets the brainwave to play him in his draft position - the midfield - and he is probably one of, if not our best for the day.

But it matters little, for his papers have apparently been stamped.

This club murders talent. And we wonder why young superstars aren't taking the millions we throw at them?

He really, really hates Ahern doesn't he
I won't be surprised if we let this kid slip through our fingers because he and the coach clearly don't see eye to eye according to optics.

His game style simply doesn't gel with what Brad wants, Ahern is all see ball, get ball.

Mind you if this happened it'll be one of the biggest blights on him as a coach for letting such a talent walk.

If the board do their job he is gone mid season. Then we can see what Ahern can do, without having to play under this shit system.

It will be a minor miracle for this current list to turn it around based on the first five weeks.

I get the feeling that other than Brad’s favourites, quite a chunk of the list, will be glad to see the back of him.
