forward line could be ok. Backline looks a rotten mess

What were they thinking with the Esava trade? Cats made out like bandits and were actually demanding more!

 

[Pweter]

the end of the road for Ken?

Earlier in the week David Koch publicly backed him in for 2025

It's gotta be a troll of the port fans at this point

 

[Nicholas61]

I really dislike Sydney.

I would even hope Geelong win next week should they beat Brisbane

 

[raskolnikov]

Port fans want to blame Hinkley but he's not responsible for how soft Wines, Butters and Rozee are come finals.

Butters has been playing injured, but yeah the other 2 been unsighted. JHF has been a one man band in their midfield

Yeah Geelong for me too sadly. **** you raskolnikov those campaigners did us in 01 how could you.

 

[crackers65]

Yeah, cos he has. And they literally had to move Ratugolea forward because he's an even worse defender. I mean....

Charlie, Ratugolea and Georgiades have had no influence at all.

auto cue broken or the work experience kid was on it

Charlie has been the best of the three.

Port simply haven't been dangerous tonight apart from stoppage situations and a couple of kick outs

bemusing

 

[joey_jo_jo]

What exactly happened to Jonas to go from co captain to replaced by rutogolea. Same with Clurey, I don't recall them being woefully bad, was it injuries?

 

[katana]

Did they literally do that? Move Ratugolea forward? Guess BZT is pretty good.

He is. He had a bad game, for sure, but he's been good for them.

Jonas retired, Clurey mostly injured plus they've preferred BZT and Sav

Sydney's smugness is a level or two above Geelong and that is saying something. Imagine if they won the GF what they would be like next year.

 

[Nicholas61]

He is. He had a bad game, for sure, but he's been good for them.

Haven't seen a lot of the game but the way Sydney were using the ball early would be very hard to defend.

 

[eth-dog]

Yep. It's just as much their forwards and mids struggling to pressure at all but he's struggled

 

[ant555]

Port are just an up market version of us. They lack the killer instinct when it really counts.

 

[Pweter]

Next level bluffing

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Jonas retired, Clurey mostly injured plus they've preferred BZT and Sav

yeah I know Jonas retired but just seemed a big fall from grace, goes from captain in 22 to only playing 12 games in 23 and then seemingly pushed into retirement for BZT and Sav.
I wasnt paying that close attention to him and Clurey but don't remember them being that bad for Ken to prefer Sav to them (BZT I can understand but I still think he'd be better as a third tall).

Does the change in Academy rules mean Swans will start getting top 10 picks every year?

They've had, what, 3 all up? Maybe 4?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

4 in 7 years when they were flying. Made up for it after AFL scrapped COLA. Maybe another 4 top liners next 7 years
