Let's talk Ports! Part 3

[TeeKray]

The fact it’s at a point where the 80+ point defeat to Geelong was effectively swept under the rug as par for the course, beggars belief.

Any other club in the league — including the Suns now they’re helmed by Hardwick — would’ve been subject to a gigantic media inquest and associated in-house pressure as a result of that disgusting performance.

Not Port. We’re just lucky to be taking the field under any circumstance, or something.

Whoa there cowboy, don't you remember that we finished 14th in 2012?

was at SPP's wedding in Bali. Their time at Port only overlapped by a season, that must have been some connection.

Will always heart Jacko.

Ah yes, the superlative result of winning one quarter of football against a lower ranked side while playing at home.

Should have left him in defence and he might even still be there. He certainly would have been there over the 2020/21 period where we were good but undersized.

Dumb list management to give him away for nothing.

Bit of rose coloured glasses given the good guy factor I think. Realistically he was slow, wasn't a marking threat, was zero threat offensively, and was only decent in one on one contests. I don't think he would have been a better option than Jonas and McKenzie in 2020/21

 

[edgie]

We moved him from defence to attack because he had to play as forward/second ruck, which was stupid, no reason he couldn't have played as backman/second ruck?

My memory’s a little hazy after so long, but I’m confident he was a regular at the brothers’ dinners.

Jonas McKenzie and Clurey in 2020 though.

I think he was an very good defender right up until we borrowed him for the ruck in 2016. He's a John Cahill Medalist. He wasn't any slower than Jonas, and I think he could absolutely hold a mark it just wasn't really how we played when he was in defence. I think he was quite an intelligent defender and was a general for us in defence. We switched to the intercept marking style while he was being utilised out of position and then with the rise of Hombsch and Howard we decided we didn't need him. I think that was a mistake longer term.

We moved him from defence to ruck to attack because we elected to delist Butcher at the same time as Schulz retired because his body was cooked, leaving us with Dixon and fresh draftee Marshall, Brett Eddy from the SANFL and Howard who we had decided to play as a defender.

Butcher would have been a better choice as a key forward and should have been given an extra year to bridge the gap between Schulz and Marshall. The final in a disgraceful string of decisions regarding how we managed Butch.

Keep Butch on the list, move Trengove back to defence, we're a better side in 2017.
