Port Adelaide 2018

I was surprised in the roar when Gov kicked the winning goal, indicated there was a fair spread of WCE fans there

Nah that was the Port supporters who jumped ship after realizing another year not playing finals.

There aresurprising number of West Coast Fans in SA. I know of at least half a dozen acquaintances that are in this category.

As Boon would know I'm 2-0 for WC wins at AO v Port [emoji38]

So how are we going to line up this week?

Last week when Dixon went down, Ken refused to use Watts as the marking option up forward.
He threw him behind the ball and just said bugger it, we'll kick the ball out of bounds.

Dixon out, Watts useless, Marshall injured still?

So what targets will we have up forward?
Or are we going to play 6 smalls and hope something works out?

Will we throw a defender forward?
Hombsch was terrible in the showdown, if he comes back does he play forward or release one of the other talls?

Perhaps Ebert plays at FF?

In - Frampton, Powell-Pepper, Trengove
Out - Ryder, Dixon, Polec

Motlop from bench to wing
Ebert middle to wing
Boak forward to middle
S.Gray wing to forward
Frampton rucks
Westhoff CHF
Watts from the bench to FF

Trengove and SPP replace Motlop and Watts on the pine.

B Dougal Howard, Tom Clurey, Dan Houston
HB Jasper Pittard, Tom Jonas, Darcy Byrne-Jones
C Steven Motlop (off the bench), Ollie Wines, Brad Ebert ( moves out to the wing )
HF Sam Gray ( goes forward from the wing ), Justin Westhoff, Chad Wingard
F Aidyn Johnson, Jack Watts (off the bench), Kane Farrell
FOL Frampton (for Ryder), Robbie Gray, Travis Boak ( goes into the midfield )
I/C Jack Trengove (in for Dixon), Tom Rockliff, Jarrod Lienert, Powell-Pepper in to replace Polec

Sam Gray has to be dropped.

It was surprising in such a pivotal game they only got 32k at home when they can draw 40k+ in the past at AO.

I would have had 35k as a pass mark, Eagles fans will be saving their money for two home finals tickets and perhaps a trip to the MCG so I wasn't surprised by a smaller than normal Eagles contingent there.

I know a few of the blokes tied up in the ammo's on here dislike the twilight time slot and given half of the clubs finished their season last Saturday it's not surprising some of them would have stayed away.

I love the twilight time slot, couple at the pub before the game, get on the train into the village, still home by 8 if you've got something on. Like drinking heavily to numb the pain of the previous 3 hours, or anything else you may want to do.

C’mon Booney, it was a shite crowd and you know it.
Given the importance of the game any less than 40k is crap.

You can’t rely on the opposition teams supporters to fill the empty seats each week.

Crowd numbers this year have to be a concern for the club surely?

What would be interesting is to know how many opposition fans were there. The was a few loud shouts when WC scored. Their crowd would not have been decided by the weather as I suppose tickets were booked well in advance.

I cannot accept that Port's injuries will be a factor in this week's game against Collingwood, given the Pies are far worse off. Yes, we will miss Paddy, but it just means our mids will have to set up knowing Grundy is going to dominate the hit outs. If our mids can get their share of the footy and get us inside 50 enough times I will back our forwards to kick a winning score against Collingwood's second string back 6. Last game Collingwood's back 6 at the start of the game was Brayden Maynard, Tom Langdon, Jack Crisp, Adam Oxley, Jack Magden and Levi Greenwood. All due respect, but that is not a strong defensive unit.

You are going to get owned. Collingwood are greater than the some of their parts. Port are just the opposite.

Flicking through some of the media it seems Atley is keen to get to North with his brother. Package him up with Polec?

Straight swap for Preuss, Atley that is

Destination ******!

[Armchair expert]

Atley Polec to North

2019 1st rounder + Preuess to Port


Everyone wins

[carey]

North will definitely not part with Preuss

[LMA]

North will definitely not part with Preuss

Don't think he's played this year must be getting itchy feet

[Spargo]

North will definitely not part with Preuss

No chance.

[Spargo]

Atley Polec to North

2019 1st rounder + Preuess to Port


Everyone wins

Lol

[Jim05]

Will be interesting to see how the Polec deal goes down should it eventuate. Port fans seem to think they will get a first rounder for him and North fans seem to value him much lower

[LMA]

If they are willing to pay 700k per year then he is worth a first rounder

It'll be determined by what the Roos offer. Roos pay overs the higher the pick simple as that.

Your interested is noted.

I said 35k as a pass, that means 32k was not a pass.
