Preview Changes v Carlton - Rd 5, 2022

[JimmyBC]

I smell something cooking, season's cooked and there starting to realise it. Are they thinking get games into Hayes, get everyone fixed for next yr , Rozee next? This could go two ways , either they roll out the line that poor Ken cant be judged this yr because of injuries or they are starting to plan for the future.

Nah they let a bloke with a bung shoulder fester all week to see if he could somehow get up for the game.

 

[Gravel]

I have a connection to the Ladhams family. He loved Port, he just didn't like Hinkley.

If my source on this was a Port supporter I'd be suspicious of their motives in sharing this with me, but my source knows nothing about football and would probably struggle to pick Hinkley out of a lineup, let alone be part of the campaign to sack him.

Is this the line up of the people arrested for impersonating an AFL football coach. I am sure most of us could pick Ken?

sam grey!

Makeshift chop outs.

Ladhams is a garbage ruckman we'd be whinging either way

 

[Sleezy]

sam grey!

Dante, come on down! (With COVID).

 

[Waspy79]

sam grey!

On Jake Neade’s shoulders I’d hope.

 

[Mikey13G]

When Hayes gets injured, who is our starting ruck?

Vissentini

Terrible list management. Recruit some ****ing talls! Why didn’t we have a look at Jack Hayes?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Jonas in an interview on Crunch Time a couple of weeks ago said “Pete asked for a move so Crippa made it happen for him”

Honestly if you have a player struggling with professionalism who then also doesn't want to be here, letting him go is 100% the right call.

 

[FutureShock]

Probably not going to throw Visentini to the wolves just yet...I wonder if Skinner has ever played any ruck? Maybe he could play a role giving Hayes a chop out and resting up forward to give us a bit of structure. Won't happen of course, I'm sure Ken & Co will expect Finlayson and Marshall to be backup rucks.

 

[klem22]

Lycett out

hinkley has a huge history of making changes because they are forced onto him. It is a sign of a weak leader.
My opinion of him has not changed over the last 6 to 8 years, as a coach he is a complete non entity.
Those at the top are corrupt.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

When is the side announced?

I still don't trust Ken to pick Hayes.

 

[Grave Danger]

Get on the spoon while there's still some value to be had...

 

[PJ Power]

Would have been nice for Hayes to have 5-10 AFL games under his belt before carrying the entire ruck load. We’re going to have to watch Finlayson and Marshall continue to get slaughtered as second rucks.

Good forward planning Port.

 

[Alyx]

...especially the younger ones hate him.

Your source is on the money.

 

[Gryllis]

When Hayes gets injured, who is our starting ruck?

Sam Mayes, clearly.

Actually I'm not convinced that Ken didn't mean Sam Mayes will debut as a ruckman.

 

[Us against the rest]

Terrible list management. Recruit some ******* talls! Why didn’t we have a look at Jack Hayes?

We did but Ken doesn't like talls, Ryder, Howard, Ladhams, Frampton.

 

[Waspy79]

We did but Ken doesn't like talls, Ryder, Howard, Ladhams, Frampton.

And the ones he persisted with are useless… Marshall, Lobbe

Just said the exact same thing to a mate it’s 50/50 the aspartame addled fool picks a ruck combo of Finlayson and Aliir rather than Hayes

Port big man out for months, set to undergo surgery

Scott Lycett is set for up to three months on the sidelines due to a shoulder injury

Last line says Port confirmed Sam Hayes will debut. At least we have a reason to watch. Pity he didnt have a games under his belt already.

 

[raptalia]

When Hayes gets injured, who is our starting ruck?

We have a mid season draft but will Hinkley use it?

 

[PJ Power]

Your source is on the money.

Have also heard a recent retiree speak very negatively of both Ken and Schofield but glowingly of Voss.

 

[PowerLil]

Gee, a 23 year old male that's not the ultimate professional. We'd have no one on the list.
