Will be an interesting watch, I'm not convinced but it's obviously not an issue.
There's no such thing as a one week hamstring right?

The damage is not in an area of the hammy that does all the work he said. if you see him grab at it, it looks around the side, not the belly of the hammy.
Still think he doesnt play, do you risk him for a major hammy?

Obviously not a doctor or have access to his scans but seems absolutely crazy that they are considering playing him.

Yes they have injuries but even without Rozee they still have a rock solid midfield that would include JHF, Butters, Drew and a Brownlow medalist.

Port play Crows, Geelong, NM, Hawthorn. Surely you don't want him missing games against NM and Hawthorn which should be all but guaranteed wins. Even if they drop the Crows/Geelong game they would be sitting worse case 7-4 with a real crack at a top 4 position heading into the second half of the season.

Worse case scenario is they drop the Crows games, Rozee is injured and then he misses the upcoming 3 matches.

13-17 record. Crows must have been strong for most of Travis' career.

As is widely stated form and ladder position don't tend to count for much in these games.

While its is 27 - 27 H2H there was a 7 game winning streak by Port in 00-04 at which point Port had a +6 H2H record, Adelaide are currently on their best streak with 2 wins last year, their biggest H2H lead was two after winning Showdown 46 at the start of 2019.

Incredibly even contest over the journey.

Keep hearing about how good the players are today compared to yesteryear.
Yet week in, week out players just bomb up the line to the opposition where there is no sight of team mate.


And how the **** did the boundary ump stuff that call up.... it bounced over the line right on his toes :lol:
