and why not bring good old ronny tanner back from retirement and have him as team manager, with his wife patty and judy gotch running the canteen

that would be a given wouldnt it be???

Lance has to be water boy in that case!!

[mr.moody]

Phin on a wing and JR Thomas on a half back flank (both PAOC boys), these two have been very strong (especially Phinny...tall, fast, strong, good skills...think birdman ha ha )

matt hood and rory duerdin have also been consistent this year

Matt Hood, huh. I would have thought to be in a team of the year you would want to have a bit of work ethic in you. Laziest footballer ever seen.

Rory Duerdin has only played about 2 or 3 games. Has had a mysterious back injury for awhile now and continues to be sidelined. On paper quality pick up, in reality waste of money.

Geez that's harsh!!!

Lay Sok (Fitzroy) CHB
Oliver Neate (Fitzroy) FP

Soky is a class act. Neate would be competing with alot of others for a pocket though - Waltham, Millar from Pulteney, Stanford from Mitcham etc. How would you fit all them, plus Forrest, Thomas, Byrne, Howe, Moore all in a forward line.

Leading Goal Kickers
1 Byrne, Ryan 47 @ 5.9
2 Forrest, Leigh 37 @ 5.3
3 Thomas, Matthew 33 @ 4.7
4 Millar, Ben 31 @ 3.9
5 Neate, Oliver 31 @ 5.2

I would have Neate in my forward line

on hood may be lazy but is still the goodz, and younger brother micheal on this years from woodnt be far away

Nothing wrong with that. Just a subjective view

Im not saying Neate cant play, and he has kicked his goals in a side that has lost majority of games. But i would have Forrest FF, Byrne CHF. Thomas would then have to play in a pocket. Howe is in great form, and is a class player, so he gets a spot too. Neate could scrape in, on the pine

no worries Felch, I'll pass it on to Olly that the coaches at Portland don't rate him...

Coaches at Poorland dont rate anyone except their own.

Haha, i rated him ahead of our forwards...

He gets a chance in a couple of weeks to show what he has, he kicked 6 last time i think.

Thats funny, Haven dont rate their own coaches, hence they move on...

[piccachu]

by the way felch last portland game i watched wayne cocks was playing up forward, was that just a 1 off thing or is he been up there all year because watching him in the past he has always played full back and i regarded him as one of the best back men for his division and almost looked lost up forward

He has played forward for most of the year, but has gone back on occasions. We have to look after the old bugger.

I agree, he is a great full back. Kept Fitzroy's Benny Hart goal-less on 2 occasions in 2006, i dont think thats get done too often. Makes his opponent earn every kick, just ask Rowdy - he had one of the best cauliflower-ears i have ever seen, courtesy of Cocksy.

[piccachu]

i no you have to look after him, but on the other hand knowing him personally i think he would want to do whats best for the team and the footy club and thats for him to be playing down back

[Felch]

If the match-up suits, he will play there for sure. In hindsight, he should have played on Hart in round 1 - he wouldnt have kicked 8 if he did.

He hasnt been 100% injury wise either. He will be cherry-ripe after the break though.

[piccachu]

well if he is cherry ripe after the break will he go back

[Felch]

well if he is cherry ripe after the break will he go back

He is a chance, as i said though, depends on the match-ups. We get another 3 tall-ish backman back aswell, so he may stay forward. Played well there against Unley, kicked 3.

they dont get a chance to rate anyone at north haven or in the div as there not there long enough. Cant see Wattsy going anywhere anytime soon though. You guys have had a fair turnover aswell, not that well informed but I would say you would have had more coaches than us since 2001. We have had three not including Wattsy.
