Preview R2 v Crows - Showdown XLVIII

[RussellEbertHandball]

Is Georgi boy still injured - slight strain? Not even an emergency. Only acceptable reason why he isn't named.

 

[Steve Dore]

Do teams cone out tonight?

Only if they want to fail a drug test

 

[Grave Danger]

.

Who are the emergencies?

Also who is playing in the reserves game?

Ollie!

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Georgiades has a calf complaint

Can't wait for the melts next week when Ollie comes back into the side and we drop Marshall.

I will be firebombing Hinkley's house like a BLM protestor.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Damn I missed out on a ticket.

Emailed Richardson and commented I hope the people who got them are the long term members

Then I watch news and families were given tickets..so 1 family gets a few tickets.. the club never ceases to amaze me

 

[TeeKray]

Channel 7 can get f*****.

The AFL can get f*****.

Ollie Wines is a moron.

F*** Hinkley for dropping Georgiades.

F*** Macca for getting a ticket to the Showdown when I missed out.

What a glorious melt day.

yep, 1st sending Nichols over, saving the covid-16 from missing any games, and now suspending Wines.

[OneGreatClub]

In really exciting news, the best thing to have ever graced the hallowed ground at the swamp, Ned McHenry, is set to play.

So we need to respond with four quarters of drubbing.

 

[Steve Dore]

missed out on a ticket so won't be there to see our new 150th logo at AO for the first time

 

[RossFC]

"Nearly Port Adelaide’s entire playing list will see the field on Saturday, with only Tobin Cox (quad), Willem Drew (foot), Georgiades and Trent Burgoyne, who picked up a foot infection late in the week, deemed unfit to play.

Kane Farrell, Sam Mayes, Peter Ladhams and Lienert have been named as the emergencies for round 1."

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

EM: Farrell Ladhams Mayes Lienert

Plus Wines and possibly Georgiadis back next week

 

[Festerz]

Imagine being a club1870 member since it’s inception in 2013, paying 2-3 times more than the average member and missing out!

You, and I, pay more than the average member to be part of the Club1870 because of other things - a better view, connection to the club and because we love our footy. And because we can.

I am glad PAFC made this special very limited access game open to all members who pledged their money to Port for an interrupted season, regardless of how much they pledged. Even though I and my family missed out on getting tickets.

Too many things in this life are decided on how much money they have committed; how big their wallet is; where they live; and who they know.

A ballot where anyone who showed commitment to their club had a chance is a good thing. Good on Port for running it that way.

The next Andrew McLeod apparently.

[Portwon]

Cleared out the inbox and was waiting for a new email.

Emil pops in.... special offer from Domino's.....

Major sads.

Mobile rings sees 447 number ...could it be..could it be.....

Answers call, Yes. Just checking we had right email. Fists being pumped around the house. We are in.

(Sorry for those that didn't get in)

 

[Buget]

Not disappointed with the team. Wines being suspended made selection a little easier.

it will be interesting to see next weeks team though.

F*** Hinkley for dropping Georgiades.

What a glorious melt day.

It’s 2020. Wait till Godzilla drops by.

 

[Boxx]

Still no email for me...

 

[Steve Dore]

BBB Frampton and B. Gibbs oh-mitted for TROSA

Dang, I was going to put my money on Gibbs for the medal.

 

[Buget]

My issue with the Wines suspension is that it was reported that Wines had a deal with seven seperate to the AFL and the club, and this interview was seperate to club commitments. If he does indeed have a pre-existing contract with seven, isnt the rule changes by the AFL therefore inhibiting his ability to execute his other contract? I’m no legal expert, but he would have signed both contracts in good faith.

the inconsistency is annoying, I have seen a few Reporters tweet things about players breaking the rules and then nothing from the AFL. however, Wines is a professional footballer, who is 26 and a senior player. He should have known better.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Anyone who didn't see Ollie suspension coming is in denial
