[Portmagpies36]

With Marshall confimed out and 5 days until the Saints game Georgiades should not have played SANFL

You realise 22 St Kilda players only have a 5 day rest?

Bad luck Mitch, hopefully we see plenty more of you in the port jumper though.

Such shit timing, as he was almost guaranteed for a recall with Marshall out.

Can we not blame everything on Ken too, it’s getting so repetitive.

MG injury is so Port Karma.
Such a grim club with all those currently in charge.

Shit news

 

[Powerage]

Speaking of bizarre statements.

I feel sorry for him and obviously the injury sucks for him and the club.

But he also struck me as a guy who needed a circuit breaker. I wish the circuit breaker wasn't a year out of the game, but life gives you what it gives you.

Hopefully he comes back with more confidence, a passion to play and a new goal kicking routine.

So Stephen Barratt struck Grave Danger as a guy who needed a circuit breaker and did him a favour by breaking his leg...

Was it the ACL recession Mitch had to have???

Needed to play hasn't played since he was dropped. Can't blame kinkley for everything

Quite possibly the dumbest post I have ever read on here

Errr smart cookie, Georgiades kicked 3 last week and was the logical Marshall replacement. Why was he playing 5 days before the Saints game, who's going to come in for Marshall? Evans?

Without Dixon and Marshall playing this was karma for the dumb player management. Georgiades also wouldn't have done his ACL if we weren't risking him for an SANFL match

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Karma. Far out you have lost the plot.

He was primarily dropped because of his poor goal kicking, the week he kicked 3 he also kicked more behinds than goals. He was playing in the SANFL because he was in the reserves to find some confidence in his game and improve his goal kicking accuracy.

As for the 5 day break. The entire St Kilda side has a 5 day break, so i'm sure the club wouldn't be concerned about a key forward having a 5 day break and if they were they could have pulled him out of the game early.

To suggest this is somehow "Karma" is ridiculous and quite frankly you should drop it and move on because you are making a fool of yourself.

 

[portly]

Best wishes Mitch. Have a relax and then get into the exercises and come back better than ever.

You have had a tough time, so take it easy on yourself.

 

[dirty2]

Shit! Mitch not good news for the young fella

What are you talking about he could have done his ACL in a training session, to say Hinkley ruined his career by playing him to get some confidence back is just ridiculous.

This is the #1 dumbest reason imaginable for dropping a young player with the yips. We of all clubs should know the effect that can have on the psyche of a developing player already under pressure to perform. He was playing well, the end product would have come if we'd backed him in. If he'd been in the AFL side as he should have been all along, maybe this doesn't happen, we can't know.

Now we've got an incredibly talented young KPF who cops constant go home chatter, getting unfairly dropped, then when a KPF is out, he's overlooked for a kid who is 100% behind him any way you want to measure it, and then in the subsequent week, he does his knee. It was probably already his toughest week at the club before the knee. The club can't do anything about the knee but it was trash management all round prior to it happening.

See D. Howard and S. Hayes.

If Georgiades is smart he'll escape to WA as quickly as he can. Dougal got out, Hayes didn't. If Dougal hadn't gotten out he'd be in the same purgatory that Hayes is in now, if even still on an AFL list.

Pickett staying at Melbourne, I wonder if Byron is part of the treadrea group of players that don't like the current set up and told him to stay at Melbourne so he could win flags

[EskimoPAFC]

Can blame the current administration for many things but on recent form MG absolutely should have been using the SNAFL to gain form and fix his goalkicking.

Injury is so sad, hope he recovers well.

We all have to accept there is a chance he might have played his last game for Port. Hope Im wrong and he becomes the star we want him to be next year.

There would have been no environment in football more suitable to a confidence lacking footballer needing a good game than at home against West Coast. Unless Barrass lined up on him the difference in the quality of defender he'd have on him is negligible, but he'd be getting the ball kicked to him by Rozee, Butters and Horne-Francis rather than Sutcliffe and Dumont.

In an alternative universe where our coach isn't a spud, MG is coming off of 3-4 goals against the Coasters and feeling good coming into a game against St Kilda this week, not missing the rest of the year and about to be traded to West Coast for a pick in the 20's.

If he is going I dont think we're getting a pick in the 20s any more unfortunately.

30s more likely.

Unless there was some issue with the surface of Unley oval, and as far as I am aware there has been no complaint about that, I doubt the Georgiadis knee injury had anything to do with him playing a snafl game, as like many similar injuries it looked fairly innocuous and could have happened in a training session, or in friday night's game against the saints.

After the op and the rehab I have hopes he will come back bigger and stronger than ever.
