2nds Power SANFL - Round 21

[Eddie Dingle]

if this is true then it has to be another nail in the (already nailed shut) coffin of someone in our "fitness" dept.

My personal motto is "there's always room for more nails".

I live by that shit.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Banner

Why ffs?

I am starting to get genuinely upset about the treatment of Banner. He'll no doubt get delisted and he'll probably be the first delisted player that we've ever had who i'll actively follow wherever he goes.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Clearly 35 disposals, 8 marks, 4 tackles, 13 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 3 rebound 50s at reserves level just isn't good enough for for a league game ...

 

[Schulzenfest]

Clearly numbers approaching 35 disposals, 8 marks, 4 tackles, 13 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 3 rebound 50s at reserves level 4 games in a row just isn't good enough for for a league game ...

EFA.

Imagine the outrage if it was North or something doing this. We can never whinge about the SANFL screwing our players again, what the Magpies are doing to Banner is the worst example of it yet.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Imagine what he would do if he was fit.

 

[questionable]

what a joke

i'm sure the SANFL will be happy we aren't abusing our position with oneclub to help the development of our players. how humble of us

 

[PatientMental]

I wouldn't choose our players to play in league either.

 

[FishingRick04]

He positive is Mitch is still working his but off in the reserves and posting great numbers, I feel for him to be honest unless we are missing something his treatment is just rude!

I'm with Thunder I'll follow him elsewhere of the flick him! He was s regular for the seniors at the Maggies last year so maybe it's a fitness issue for the rest of this year ad they'll bring him back next year

 

[Enviable Tradition]

McCarthy and Surjan not playing for WWT/Maggies?

Late call ups?

EDIT: Actually Redden not playing either. Bangers must have had a word to Buddha.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Salopek, 7 kicks, 4 marks and 2 i50's in the 1st quarter.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Sal is racking up possessions early in the second. Up to 13 already. Leading possession winner on the ground.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Sal 19 touches, 6 marks, 4 i50, 2 r50 at half time.

It would be brilliant if he leads Port to a win here and ends up knocking Glenelg out of the finals race!

 

[Eddie Dingle]

24 11 minutes into the 3rd for Sal

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Could be worth a farewell game for the power next week.

 

[stewie griffen]

Could be worth a farewell game for the power next week.

I wont hold my breath

 

[tryonthis]

Ugh, that loss sucks.

 

[SupportMe]

Finals chances all but gone for the Magpies.

Led for most of the day and conceded the lead in the final seconds. Glenelg pipped the Blues to consolidate 5th.

Special thanks to the SANFL website for shitting itself at a crucial time.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

32 touches for Sal.

Perhaps Banner would have been enough to get the Maggies over the line? Anyone know how he went in the ressies?

 

[BornPort]

That hurt.

3rd best, 2 goals.

[Ebert80]

Pittard played in Sturt's Reserves, but not in best, and no goals. Likewise for Curnow.

[Adz2332]

Sal better get a game this week!
Moore with a hammy, so a mid is needed. Drop Mcarthy again for Boak. Done!

Steven Salopek (for Port Adelaide v Eagles)
32 disposals, 10 marks, 1 tackle, 2 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 4 rebound 50s

Sal was best on ground for the Maggies in a pretty solid performance for him. He found a lot of the ball and ran and spread well. He had 32 possessions which was really positive and he was very influential for the Magpies, but we're still looking for him to improve his defensive game which is an area that he is still lacking the consistency we require.


Mitch Banner (for Port Adelaide v Eagles)
33 disposals, 10 marks, 1 tackle, 4 clearances, 3 inside 50s, 4 rebound 50s, 2 goals

Mitchy really came into the game in the second half. He had 8 touches to half time and so to finish with 33 disposals highlights how much impact he had on the final two terms. He’s very strong at finding the footy and we got to see a bit more of his inside stuff - tackling and pressure on the opposition - and he kicked a couple of goals as well.

I find it hilarious that they're striving for Salopek's defensive consistency while still giving games to guys like Rodan, D Stewart and McCarthy.

 

[ploppy]

Has Pittard strained is adductor...what is going on with all the groiin/hip injuries....this seems like a lot...we havent been able to get Pittard up all year...can we make all these guys bullet proof over the summer please...pick Salopek this week and lets see if he can show something...
