Gardner also played well in this game which makes me very nervous.

Calling it now - will be selected within the next 2 games

“I thought Gardy was really solid. He’s got the ability to read the ball coming in and usually in these games it’s in a bit more space. He was really assertive with his mindset and was willing to come off his opponent and support for his teammates. That’s his second game back now from a minor calf injury.”
 
Also, not sure which thread, but a few people potted John Georgiades (father of Mitch) as failing due to being soft, or the great KPF hope. He was 189cm, was never built to be anything other than a tall flanker. Had a (somewhat fortuitous) blinder in his first game, but was never going to live up to that again if he'd played for 10 years. He kicked a 5 in his 3rd game, and a 4 in one of his last handful of games, which was probably above average output for his role. He had (a young) Adran Campbell and Phil O'Keeffe as the KPFs for company in game #1, so opposition defences could afford to put time and effort into the shiny new WA recruit at the Bulldogs without worrying about being torched by the alternatives. We lost the next 6 straight, even after Beasley returned for a final hurrah in round 4 and Foster was swung forward, so the attacking focus was then to kick it to the senior players. Think injury took its toll in 1990, and by the end of 91 he was gone back to WA. He only had one bag of 7 in his WAFL career as well, and plenty of goal-less games. He was a solid, rather than outstanding, player, and round 1, 1989 was just one out of the box for his entire career.

Edit: just after the shot above (v Melb for Hawk's 250th), he kicked the goal, and was being manned by none other than master coach, Peter Rohde:

I am making a HOMEMADE French Onion Beef Casserole tonight in my slow cooker for tonight's Lucky Meal. That should do it. It will be served with cauliflower rice. I will be using probably my last serving of beef before they close down all of the abatoirs and we Melburnians become vegetabletarians, not by choice.

No need to despair Chicago, there is an alternative supply of Lucky Meals!

$3 is pretty good odds for us I think. Anyone else feel we’re not THAT bad

No, but after last week's capitulation it's no surprise the odds are heavily favoured to Port. I don't feel confident with this game though, Port have been consistent and we havent, with heavy losses against Richmond, St Kilda, Collingwood and Carlton.

I'm happy to hear it. We all know he's going to get more opportunities regardless of how well he plays, so if he at least is showing something in the scratch matches then there's more hope he won't sh*t the bed on next senior call up

If he ever plays again I will turn more senile than Sam Newman.

You can't play players like him and Gowers. They may be good blokes, sure, but the supporters don't give a rats arse about that, they want to see them play good football.

You lose members doing stuff like that.

After what we've seen with Honeychurch and Gowers, I just know it's inevitable. He'll get more games, we'll all pull our hair out watching the team struggle, then late in the season Bevo will pull his finger out, stop playing favourites, and make a desperate play for finals

So, the "Majak Award"?
Does Dixon qualify?
Rockliff?
P-P?

Who will step up out of relative obscurity to kick a bag, then return to the remainder of their somewhat obscure career?

Dixon? Probably been the best key forward so far this year.

In other news, why did the changes thread roll into this one? The game day thread is not somewhere I want to be on game day (as weird that sounds).

I don't think it has. There's still a separate 11 page Changes v Port Adelaide thread. So you're safe to head there. Here's a link!

They said the same thing last week but it didn't happen.
 
Ugh the one Dogs game I'll see live this year and I misplaced my glasses :(
