  1. Looks like teams as listed

    Subs are:
    Port – Lachie Jones
    Eagles – Langdon

    and everyone favourite sub gets a run! Luke Strnadica starting from the bench!

  2. Think this will be fascinating contest. I had no confidence in tipping port today and wouldn’t surprise me if eagles get up.

    Just butters in this one for me but hoping wines can bounce back and I can pick him up as a fallen premo next week.

    1. nice cheap shot knee into Butters head by Shuey at the first bounce … as the commentators said “if his life depended on it he could have easily avoided making contact …” … lucky we didn’t lose Butters in the first 10 seconds!

  3. Butters with 64% TOG and 1 disposal for 3 points. Whereas Rozee with 9 disposals and 50 points at qtr time.
    Boak also not being played much on the ball which is hurting his scoring

    1. I just saw down butters shirt and it appears he has strapping around the chest… He got a slight tap and was wincing in pain.
      May explain why rozee has his ski boots on

  5. Yeo out for the game, Langdon comes on for him.
    He had a head clash, so unclear if it is due to concussion or if other reason

    1. He has Pulled a heart muscle…..
      Witherden getting pounded again might be worth looking at the eagles backline it’s getting in there a friggen lot

    1. I actually tend to agree Posty – what I’ve seen of him thus far this year, he looks half hearted at times … and when not playing (I’m guessing here) where he wants to play, almost like a petulant child … (don’t ask me why I use those words, it just strikes me that way with his lack of efforts at times)
      Today though, I think the (very dodgy) knee to the head by Shuey right at the start has really put him off … no excuses at this level … but I reckon he’s not worth holding … problem is, how many of these trades can we make (if you have the likes of Whitfield and injuries to likes of English etc) …

  6. I’m kicking myself for not playing the E on Butters … looks like I will lose out and have to sit out Martin (Bombers) or Daicos now … I considered it and thought surely he’s back … that first up contact of Shuey to his head has knocked the stuffing out of him it seems …

  7. We were always going to lose this. Also been saying we were set for bottom four this season. Resigned to that, no problems: ageing list, been to the top of the mountain, injuries, yadda yadda.

    What I won’t accept is Butters bullsh*t. How is he not getting stuck into this feast!?!

    Lazy prick.

    1. Hey Gunboat..

      Maybe not a an excuse but I heard Butters was touch and go after having Gastro during the week. The he copped that big knock early. Hardly sighted in the Centre square as well. I still expect more if you choose to take the field !

  8. Butters is playing more and more like Matty Rowell.
    Too worried about picking up a man rather than just ‘see ball- get ball’.

  9. Butters was not getting played on the ball and I assume when Gray was subbed off they would play him in his position. Amon played a lot more around the ball so he got his hands on a lot more of it

    1. It at least helped that he was effective in his ball use to make it a lot better than a 34 he got in AF scores

  10. What did everyone think of Sam Hayes’s game?

    Lots of hit-outs to advantage (his ruck work is very impressive – albeit against pretty poor opposition today), and a few more possessions this week – although he doesn’t really “hunt the ball / actively seek possessions” as he needs to build an AFL ready tank.

    As the sole ruck with some back up from guys like Finlayson, I don’t think he will score 100’s too often – but to me he looks good for 60’s to 90’s each week?

    Be great to get some thoughts on him from others 🙂

    1. I think if you missed Preuss, it’s a good idea to bring him in. I can’t see a way to get him into my side, as I’m running ROB and Witts, with Preuss on the bench for back-up / cash gen.
