Ed Curnow most likely to get picked for reasons unknown.

Dow doesn't get considered after having 50 touches in the ressies - he's no chance after having a week off with concussion.

Personally I'd like to see Binns debut.

Haha would not surprise but surely the MC has finally got the message re Ed. He was dropped for his bro’s 100th game so I’d say he’s done other than a farewell game (if we can’t make finals).

Been a great soldier but his time is done.

 

[euphegenia]

You arent playing finals with 11.5 wins and with geelongs % 12.5 probably isnt realistic either. I have adelaide missing with 12 wins 11 losses only way that changes is if st kilda drop the ball.

Finals are gone imo, would take some sort of miracle of us going 5-2 or 6-1 when we have 3 games against top 4 opposition to come.

Yep we blew it against the ferals, swans and especially *.

 

[agro]

I hope not, but suspect that this will be a bridge too far.

 

[lukep_86]

Huge decisions to be made at the selection table, looking forward to seeing how that plays out.

Massive game with lots on the line, Port are in good form but I think we're a chance to get the w. Please Baggers, just find a way to win!

 

[haveago]

Let's hope McGov gets up. Looks a nasty cork but 50/50 chance you would think.

Then only need to replace Bam Bam (bugger he was killing it) and Dow should be the one.

Come on Vossy .......Do it please.

 

[Benaly28]

Mods can you guys start a Dow thread this week cause this place is gonna be filled with Dow talk all week and quite frankly it’s getting boring now.

[kreuze_missile]

OUT: McGovern (inj), Kennedy (inj)
IN: Pittonet, Hewett

Pittonet picks himself if fit. TDK only selected if Pittonet isn't available.

Young goes back for McGovern plus backup ruck duties against Finlayson. Port have size up forward and Young is the best 200cm option we have. Bonus is he can ruck okay.

Hewett comes in for Kennedy. I haven't liked what I have seen from Hewett in recent weeks but he is best available.

Binns debuts as sub.

Dow is coming off concussion and hasn't played a full game of football in a month at any level.

No chance this week.

 

[Opium]

No chance this week.

He played a full game last week and was BOG before being concussed in the final minutes

 

[Bluebag13]

Out:
Kennedy
McGovern
Young

In:
Hewett
Durdin/marchbank
TDK

Binns debuts as sub.

Sinn and Binns as subs?

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Neither Hewett or dow can replace what Kennedy brings his mark in in between the arcs is a huge point of difference and he clears pathways constantly moving ball fwd with two blokes hanging off him .. whoever replaces him means our clearance game will need adjustment .

I don't know if it because hewett started as sub or has missed so much football but he is very deer in the headlights at the moment .. struggling to work into the link.

Can see young or marchbank replacing gov if this corkie is a bad bleeder .
Whoever plays let's suffocate this port mob

 

[Sam The Doc]

Bring in the binns, has been out far too long!

 

[windows1]

Choice is either bring Doc into the centre and Binns in

Or Hewett in.

Voss is v conservative. Suspect he goes with Hewett. He fairly would be liking what the wings are doing.

George should be feeling very fresh. Happy to see him given a full game.

Nah, you can ignore what you don't like.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I think Gov might come up. It's a bad cork but he's a chance at least.

For the sub this week, I wouldn't begrudge Binns a look, but equally I can see where a genuine onballer might be the go, so Carroll or Dow might get a shot.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

6 day break … (and then another)

Out: MK, Gov, Young
In: Hewitt, Marchbank, TDK

 

[Juddrockz]

Finlayson is another player we need to do some homework on. He's been really good for Port and can kick a goal from anywhere.
Who gets the job on him?

 

[Worm4]

People need to move on from Marchbank. I'm not sure he can sustain a fitness level to play in this current game plan they have adopted.

 

[Red_man2008]

Massive game with lots on the line, Port are in good form but I think we're a chance to get the w. Please Baggers, just find a way to win!

Ports first 1/2 v Gold Coast was pretty ordinary. Hopefullly they’re due a loss.

 

[David Sylvian]

McG replaced by Marchy/Cowan
Hewett replaced by a rotating combo of Martin/DC then bring in Binns to the bench.
If a ruck comes in, JSOS to replace McG

The switch has been flicked people, don’t sit there moping, staring into the tea leaves. Expecting a win, might even say I’m confident of a win.

 

[jezzatigerbrent]

Then only need to replace Bam Bam (bugger he was killing it) and Dow should be the one.

Come on Vossy .......Do it please.

Hewitt please....Dow is done....Ppl ask for Dow expecting a different result from his ordinary performances = Definition of insanity

 

[jezzatigerbrent]

People need to move on from Marchbank. I'm not sure he can sustain a fitness level to play in this current game plan they have adopted.

Rubbish that's exactly what they said about Jack Martin N David Cunningham.... Just needs a few games in a row to get that Fitness bass at the level And he hasn't lost all his Talent/ determination/ athleticism and pace.... Is another great Interceptor

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Dow in for Kennedy.
TDK in for Young.
If Gov is out then keep Young in the side.

Hewett as sub again simply because Dow or Hewett is a flip of the coin and if the midfield isn’t working then we have the option of bringing Hewett on.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Mods can you guys start a Dow thread this week cause this place is gonna be filled with Dow talk all week and quite frankly it’s getting boring now.
