Port Adelaide 2017

[daysofourlives]

Marshall is in this week

[bertiebeatle]

Very surprising. Would say Dougal will stay in defence then and Hombsch still isn't right.

[Brodlach]

Strange decision when it is going to be cold and rainy. Be freezing in Ballarat Dixon maybe in doubt?

Marshall is in this week

Would have debuted him against the Suns.

Well, better late than never I spose Ken.

If the rumours are true.

If the rumours are true.

Mate Daisy is normally on the money with his Port info.

Cornes tweeted it out last night.

So Daisy is Cornes, hmm how about that.

In - Marshall, Powell-Pepper
Out - Ah Chee, Johnson

DBJ possibly lucky Broggsy isn't fit.

What now for Trengove?
With Marshall and Howard both playing does it spell the end for Trengove?

Marshall looks like a natural forward and as he builds his body strength he'll be a good player at AFL level.

[MW]

Trengrove would be mad not to take reportedly higher free agent offers in Victoria now. Port clearly don't want him and have turned him from a walk up starting key position backman into a lost footballer without an identity.

I see you're taking 2016 into account where he filled in as a lead ruckman, meanwhile as he's up the ground trying his guts out younger players established themselves in the back half.

Good call.

[Brodlach]

I don't think dropped for one game maybe 2 means Port "clearly don't want him'. That's being a bit over the top

Coming into the pointy end of the season and playing younger players in front of him.....I'd be worried if I was him.
He'd be CHB if I was coach.

I absolutely effing love it, but it is hilarious that we *finally* play a second tall up forward the week we go to a freezing cold and likely wet Ballarat vs another midget brigade in the Bulldogs.

I swear its almost as if there is a conspiracy!

Actually I'm talking about 2017. I understand 2016 and he did quite well in that role. So...

I agree. We're about to play finals, he's not best 22 and is out of contract. Ridiculous to assume that questions on both sides wouldn't be raised.

Seemingly another victim of Ken's stubbornness. He won a best and fairest at Centre Half Back as a young up and coming star so we ... play him forward? OK fine, maybe for a trial game or two or maybe even a real game for a look. But for nearly a whole season when it clearly wasn't working?!?

Jackson has every right to be thinking about his options. As do Port.

Finally a Power supporter who calls it as he sees it.
He's not in the best 22 currently so he would be doing himself and his family a disservice if he wasn't looking at other options.
A couple of Melbourne teams would like a 28 year old CHB I'm sure.

[The Bedge]

Maybe they're giving him a rest before finals?

[morell]

Then it would say "rested" not "omitted". All of the coaches have said it was due to a drop in form.
