So it's Leons turn to be rested.

All the rumours regarding Fraser and Reid were wrong by the looks of it.

No late changes probable either, with only 27 hours till the game.

'Neck' might be the new 'calf'.

 

[TradeDraft]

How bad is Davis Neck?

Guess Steele was just Rested

Good See Blair get another Game

Reckon there could be a Few Late Changes

 

[Swanny36]

YES!!! BLAIR IN AGAIN!!

I am absolutely rapped about that..

Smash 'em Blairy.

 

[good4footy]

Interesting to see how well we can keep the pressure on their defence and stop them running it out without any of Davis, Dick & Medhurst.

We look a little top heavy and slow in the forwardline without any of the above.

Maxwell, Dick & Davis out of our best 22 might mean a closer game than first thought.

 

[Pie eyed]

'Neck' might be the new 'calf'.

The "fake" calf was compromised when Maxie got a legitimate calf.

Lets hope no-one gets a legitimate neck.

 

[Football God]

IN Boak
OUT Cornes (suspended)

make of that what you will.

 

[Wooljay]

Blairy! Pretty disappointed with Leon getting rested, just as he was working his way into form.

Maybe he needed it, start fresh just before finals.

 

[daics_35]

Damn i wanted Leon to play. This is a good team we are taking up to Adelaide and we should win easily.

LOL-

Nor further complaints that Dick has injuries.

Perhaps, who knows what's going on though. I'm just stoked to see Blair getting another run around the park, love seeing the shortarses tearing it up! We have a very young team this week, out with Ol' Leon and in with Young Rusty, anyone care to calculate our avg age?

Same as Every Week matty

That is a Massive in for Port.

Those Isn't Boak be a Player We are Very Heavily Chasing?

Injury List

Round 15
Sean Rusling (calf) test
Steele Sidebottom (calf) test
Brad Dick (self) 1-2 weeks
Nick Maxwell (calf) 1-2 weeks
Nathan Brown (shoulder) 1-2 weeks

Hmmm?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Good change.

Nope, we are not after Boak.

Essendon, Geelong and the GC are the 3 clubs that have been linked with him.

Or at least that's all I've been reading and hearing over this.

"Word" is Boak will sign a contract within 2 weeks at Port anyway.

Boak isnt even that great, he will not make a difference on the game at all. I hope we dont get him and i dont think Port will not wanna trade with Collingwood.

Yeah I have heard that Too and If that is the Case then, The Rumours will go away. Would not blame him for staying anyway

 

[Zahki]

Great stuff. Blair gets another go and the only change was forced by injury.

 

[absy]

Good on them giving Blair another shot, happy to see sidey back to

 

[Kirby]

I doubt very much that Davis is being rested.

I reckon he's injured, albeit not seriously and it very well may not be his neck. Hopefully, it's just a one week thing with the travel.

 

[rose jam]

Boak wouldn't even get a run on our list, wtf does he do? I've seen a tonne of Port games and you never even notice this guy playing. He's about as useful as Michael Pettigrew - yeah, Michael who

Their only form dangerous player is Mr. Outside

 

[mattys123]

Boak is rated highy due to his potential, more then his career output.

On his day he can rack up the posessions like no other Port player bar Kane Cornes, but he lacks consistency and has had some injury problems.
