Preview Shuffling of the deckchairs on a doomed, dying ship - men, to the violins. Changes & prematch discussion vs Port Adelaide

[the flying ham]

Sure no excuse next week then for not having Comben in

If comben has the week off there is zero chance he plays seniors next week

 

[Shermanator]

No Chom?.. we gotta be tanking for pick 1 in the MSD..

On a positive note, Chom, Edwards, Cunners, WillPhill, Culley and the two first rounders we get for trading pick 1 in the ND this year are all going to be new recruits next year..

 

[The Nostradamus]

If comben has the week off there is zero chance he plays seniors next week

And if he doesn’t then straight in

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

I am backing Noble in.

But if see Ziebell back in the centre and Powell again on a wing/flank then i'll be rather upset

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Happy to see Powell back in and get some high cba numbers.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take to build Rome?

Two weeks.

Fair enough, but they did build a coffee cart...

 

[Tiberius]

Horace will like that I reckon.

But even so, what have the Romans ever done for us?

F##k off.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Will be in Rome in a month. Got the AFL overseas thingo.

Watched the Eagles/Collingwood grand final on the roof of my hotel in Athens a few years ago.

We may look better from the Northern hemisphere

P

Sending him after not playing due to knee swelling to WA to play on a 200cm Alex Pearce, a KPD who will probably be in the AA top 40 at years end isn't good business for a guy who has spent more time watching football than playing it

Has had 11, 11, 14, 6, & 8 touches over the past 5 weeks. Pretty shite for a high half-forward/wing who runs through the midfield as well.

That should be droppable form.

What’s good for north, is garbage for any other team
Look at the wingers, HBF’s, back pockets, emergencies named
Throw in the rubbish senior players, no wonder JHF needs more time

 

[koshari]

Two weeks.

it was the planning permits that took ages.

Is Rome in the City of Yarra?

Port loses skipper ahead of Kangaroos clash - Port loses skipper ahead of Kangaroos clash

He's garbage. One of the worst captains out there ability-wise.

 

[Sillygit]

didn't even realise he was a captain

 

[KillaKanga]

didn't even realise he was a captain

I must admit my initial reaction was Boak was out.

 

[The Nostradamus]

So who takes their third tall forward Finlayson?

No Bonar or Mckay means if we don’t swing Ziebell back then someone like young will have to be outsized

Since we didn’t bring in Comben it means Ziebell will likely stay forward and play a smaller forward line again

With all due respect, it probably doesn't matter does it.

Start of season, this one was texta'd in as a win. FFS.

Still, I hope that the media interest this week helps to create a bit of desire.

Young will go to him. He isn't a traditional key forward

If I was port I’d isolate that match up

 

[koshari]

Is Rome in the City of Yarra?

both

 

[giantroo]

 

[shintemaster]

It's time. Mess them up North.

Don't tell Kens what to do Ziebbs !

 

[Val Keating]

Don't tell Kens what to do Ziebbs !

It rarely works like that anymore. They can maybe do it once but usually they just go by who’s playing deepest and defend accordingly.
