Round 1 - Central v Port @ Elizabeth 27/3 @ 6.30pm

[CENTURION]

Should be a real close game, Port have generally played well in early season games against the Dogs and wouldn't surprise me if they beat an under-manned Dogs lineup.

For me i think the Dogs will lineup something like this

F: Callinan Frail Sansbury
HF: Henderson M.Westoff Jenner
C: O'Hara C.Gowans Spurr
HB: Nash Havelberg Williams
B: Hayes Hardy/Hynes Goodrem
R: MacKenzie Thomas Habel

INT Milne Switala Duncan/L.Westoff/Vater/Dunne

OUT INJURED- J.Gowans, C.O'Sullivan, D.Schell, S.Dutschke, R.Cochrane, H.Lawry, J.Boyd

While there is still a few stars missing from that line-up there is still enough talent for the Dogs to win at home against the Maggies, Roy will be expecting players such as Spurr, O'Hara, Goodrem, Jenner and Henderson to really step up and became key players in the side

Injured??. I've heard he's not signed.

spoke to Heath yesterday, he signed last week, whilst on his honeymoon xx

awesome great news, would have been surprised if he did leave us but brilliant to hear he has signed and should be ready for round 3.

To be honest, most of the players that don't play this weekend are probably close to 100% but with the bye the w/end after, they will make sure of things, take the extended break & be ready (except Chad) for round 3.

Genuinely injured or treating Port with contempt?

Certainly not treating Port with contempt, Roy Laird wouldn't allow it...

More like list management with the view to the long season ahead and like mentioned above...

Taking advantage of the timing of the bye to give some senior and injured players that extra week to prepare for the rest of the season...

Will all the Power fans that have been going on and on the past few weeks about the future of the Magpies turn up ??????????????????? After all the media hype, massive membership increase ( due to guilt ) translate to bums on seat at a Port SANFL game ! C'mon Maggie fans, get behind your team !

Looks like Chris Gowans will miss this game, which would have been his 200th had he played, according to the 'Tiser today...

How about you worry about what's happening at your own club stupid.

( that's a classic )

[baysman]

Touchy. Just encouraging all to get to the games. My whole extended family are Port mad, and as a fellow Portonian, I would like to see them get to the games. Time will tell how many actually will !

[devilsadvocate]

No, you're a WUM.

If you were a Portonian, you wouldn't have 'Glenelg' listed as your team.

Must be a full moon tonight.....all the geniuses are coming out.

To be born and bred in the area, You DON'T have to barrack for Port. You can't get anymore Port than my good self. I love the area, and I love my beloved Bays !

[baysman]

Oh....and Centrals by 60 points !

To be born and bred in the Port and not be a Port fan - is your name Judas Iscariot?

Jog on clown

[baysman]

OK OK OK.......Maybe times haven't changed !

Ben Nason is set to debut for Richmond tonight, interestingly while having heaps and heaps of potential he couldn't really cement his spot in the Dogs best 21 last season, yet is a walk up start round 1 for an AFL club

A pre season at AFL level can get the best out of young kids and obviously this is what has happened to Ben.

Big surprise. Especially since it looked like he had done a knee in the NAB.
