Scorpus can we list Jennys got something later in the highlight box

Scorpus can we list Jennys got something later in the highlight box

Maybe when she actually provides something

 

[Mutineer]

You're wrong. Jenny has sources.

Yep has a direct line to our draft guru Phil Harper I believe...

 

[Danger in Texas]

Can we at least hold fire until we see what she says? We're an impatient bunch lol

 

[Peter Doherty]

Yep has a direct line to our draft guru Phil Harper I believe...

Come on now, we're about to receive our first real mail for the year.

It's a loop of him letting Dawson take the Showdown kick after the siren.

 

[Crow till I die]

Happy

Update the threadmarks boys and girls...we have a rumor of a rumor

 

[WaynesWorld19]

got an evidence of that?

Yes ....you go looking, you lazy ....

 

[spenze]

Yes ....you go looking, you lazy ....

So no then

 

[WaynesWorld19]

People rave about Port's list management, but they're having an absolute stinker so far. Could it be related to Chris Davies leaving for Collingwood and being a bit distracted with that? Little bit suss that Davies is heading for Collingwood and suddenly they're super interested in Perryman at the last second.

Ports list management woes started last year .....they're in for the quick fix, so they essentially took who was available

Now they're stuck with list cloggers on good money and long contracts

I agree with the boys here on SEN ....a very real possibility Port don't play Finals next year

Any team that has Rozee, Butters and Horne-Francis running around is unlikely to miss finals IMO

You need more than 3 good mids to play finals

Wanna bet !

GEEL missed Finals last year .....COLL this year ....and both Clubs have more star players than Port

It doesn't take much to lose ground .....DEF is weak, FWD line, who?

Our list will be so much healthier & deeper next year, with the added experience and returning personnel

Their issue isn't making finals, it's winning finals.

They will continue to beat up on mediocre teams like Essendon and St Kilda.

They'll get their 14 wins again but won't do anything in September.

Brad Johnson is a very astute judge .....makes correct calls on teams and players a long way out .....I guess I'll have to be right again 3 years running ...GEEL, COLL, PORT

Willem Drew is pretty handy and Wines isn't done altogether just yet. Boak is though.

What did he predict? For them to miss the 8?

They do seem to get looked after with the fixture most years, which helps.

Yep, both Johnson and Kornes ..... Froggy if you learn how to use google, you may find the reference

We're comparing the top 10 players from sides ...... Port don't have enough ....their spine is weak, they're probably losing Houston .....and your boy Drew wouldn't be in the Top 50 Mids of the AFL

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

At the AFLW I MAY have news!

Hot diggity! I don't care if it's bad news!

 

[Carn The Texan]

Will it make us happy or angry?

Johnson said Geelong would miss finals this year, Melbourne would make finals, Port and Sydney would go out in straight sets, GWS would make the GF, yet they're the straight setter.

There was another one I forgot, the guys were getting into him about on Fox.

I must have missed those calls .....I've only seen his good calls ....I've always found him to be quite astute
