News Port Adelaide team - Butcher & Jonas debut!

[Honeyboy Wilson]

So even though the teams haven't been up on any website, I just checked my AFL iPhone App and there's an article saying we're debuting both these players.

Two to Debut at the G

Both Tom Jonas and John Butcher will pull on the Power guernsey for the first time when the side takes on Hawthorn at the MCG on Saturday afternoon from 2.10pm Melbourne-time.

Then it goes on to give some information about Jonas and Butcher respectively!

WOO!

 

[reCOGnise]

Oh **** yes!!

congrats to Butcher especially, great effort. Must be a big relief, let hope they both show some promise!

and the little Surj is in! beauty!

This is the best week of selections in the history of the year!! Ebert, Pettigrew, Stewart and O'Shea out! (and Dav.. and yeah he definitely deserved it). SURJAN in! We have 3 KPDs again! John Butcher, Jay Schulz and Westhoff as a forward line! Jonas getting a run! SURJAN IN!!!

 

[Forzaport]

8 changes wow.

Surely there'll be a late withdrawals or two given the number of players returning from injury.

It's a shame about Hartlett being out injured. On the other side of that this is the first time in months it looks like Port Adelaide has selected a side in the attempt to win a match.

Very pleased to see Jonas make his AFL debut. Along with Surj, he would be our best performed SANFL player of the past month.

Let's see how it all pans out. Hawthorn is playing some good football.

I wish this was the team that danced on the big stage against the Pies.

 

[Jumbo]

Fanbloodytastic news for Butcher & Jonas
Nice changes too (except for the Hartlett part)

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I can't believe it's taken til Round 21 or whatever the hell it is to get this sort of a team happening. Bringing in good senior players while also debuting new youth! This is the first time ALL YEAR I've been happy about selections. ALL YEAR.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Dem changes, dat team!

Agree. Its mind boggling actually ....

 

[dav3]

Great changes
I thought Schulz was pretty much out for the season?

 

[DonDraper]

SO EXCITED!!!!

Surj will be well up for this, I hope he plays a blinder. After the week we've had this is the news that Port fans wanted

 

[Eddie Dingle]

It's going to be a white Christmas after all...

 

[Macca19]

Huuuge ins. Go the butch!! Congrats to jonas too! Im actually excited

 

[edgie]

Oh dear, I'm starting to get the optimistic feeling...

D. Motlop in would've topped it off, but that's just me

 

[SwampRat]

Great team. I'd like to see Salter and Broadbent swap ends, but it won't happen.

Rodan would make an ideal sub.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Great team.

Super exciting!

 

[DonDraper]

Rodan or Banner will be the subs, hopefully Rodan. So Butcher will play the 3rd tall up in the forward line?

 

[Portmanteau]

Josh Gibson just shat himself

 

[Portia]

Second tall.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Holy shit.

It took you long enough Primus, but well done. Very, very well done.

Butcher in
Jonas in
Surjan in
Ebert out
Pettigrew out
Davenport out

 

[Natman]

A good optomistic team selection and looking forward to next year.

Salter, Broady, Kane and Sal very lucky to stay in. I guess 12 changes might have stretched it a bit.

 

[DonDraper]

I thought Broges was coming back as well? Should be back for the Dogs game. Hopefully we only make 1 change to bring him back in so I can watch Jonas and Butch in the flesh next week

 

[Portia]

Salter, Broady, Kane and Sal very lucky to stay in. I guess 12 changes might have stretched it a bit.

I would've kept O'Shea over Kane.
