Knee but didn’t look serious. Just a weeks rest to make sure he’s right for the back end of the reg season and finals I’d say.

Fingers crossed.
Pittard is out at least another 2-3 weeks.
Seems the consensus is AJ and TJ (inj.) for Hombsch and Marshall.
Would be surprised if we saw Lienart or Barry

Against the grain but I would give aj one more game
The names that will get brought in for him have had scores of poor games before getting dropped. Bringing in the same serial underperformers to have 1 good game every 4 games while we shuffle other kids in and out at the drop of a hat isn’t going to get us any other results other than what we have gotten before
I mean is there anyone here who thinks that we haven’t seen Sam grays or Neades ceiling?
Not to mention that Johnson’s role is the one we need if he can put it together. Neade ain’t a crumbing pressure forward. He is a hff. His pressure rarely gets results because he isn’t influencial. Sam gray is Brett Ebert reincarnated. Thinks he is what Dixon should be.
We have far more to gain by seeing if Johnson can settle at afl level than we have to gain from the status quo. And what are we risking?

Yup agreed.
I think everyone needs to take a deep breath. Back them in and let the team find some form.
AJ wasn’t in great form in the SANFL but he is faster, taller and has better forward craft than Neade. He is a long term option and needs gametime. Neade got 27 touches in the SANFL but prior to that his AFL form yielded no goals, which is why he was dropped. We shouldn’t rush S.Gray back, we don’t want another Broadbent situation. Farrell isn’t ready. Marshall needs time to build form in the SANFL. Playing an Atley, etc, out of position has been a recipe for disaster in the past.
Hombsch for Jonas (if injured) is the only change I would make.

Can’t say I was super impressed with Trengoves game yesterday, but don’t know who to replace him with. He was caught flat footed many times when receiving the pass. You saw on a couple of occasions Houston visibly annoyed with him and trying to explain to come at the ball when receiving.

Lol, that kick that was intercepted for their 1st (I think) goal was 100% Houston’s fault... if Trengove came any more towards Dan, the ball would have sailed 10m over his head!
It was an unnecessary, shit, slow and lofted kick that was always likely to be intercepted.

You reckon? It was literally right in front of me and was a 20m kick that should have been taken at 15m. Houston wasn’t the only one to talk to Trengove after it.
It was right in front of me too and I 100% agree with Boxx. It was a shit option poorly executed

Yeah Houston was looking to deflect blame on a shit choice. At least Polec owned his **** up.
How on Earth could you suggest Marshall ? , did zilch or worse for 3 weeks and hasn't played since.

Will depend how Marshall goes today. He will need to show something.
Also Gray could return.

Give AJ one more chance. Yes he was bad but no point bringing in a young player for one game only. We know he can perform better than that.

I wasn't that close but could see it from side on and it was a slow loopy kick with a Saints player in the vicinity. Everyone around me groaned as soon as Houston kicked it.

If SGray is out for a couple of weeks then AJ has to get another run. He had a stinker but can play at this level and started to get into the game more as it wore on.

I mean in fairness I don't see how Polec could possibly not own that ****up. He couldn't have pinpointed Gresham any better. If Gresham had been wearing a Port guernsey it would've been our best inside 50 entry all year.

AJ should review Thomas' games and see how he could have a bigger impact with the same number of possessions.
If he can do that then when his possession numbers go up he could end up being a very good player as he certainly has a few tools to work with,. Just needs to focus on improving one thing at a time. Sometimes when young one tries to do too much at once.
Improving by making ine thing at a time a consistent part of his game week in week out that is.
