has Clark slept with Scott’s missus or something??? Just doesn’t get given a game or role on a regular basis … can carve up teams with his run out of HB …
I’ve been wondering if Highmore has done the same at the Saints!
2021 Medical Subs used –
R1 8, R2 8, R3 10, R4 8, R5 10, R6 12, R7 9.
Total: 65 (51.6 per cent)
Played next game: 10.7 per cent
Chaos, your information is invaluable.
Given the well publicised struggles of Watts, Scully, Boyd, McCartin, and to an extent Weitering, Whitfield and Kreuzer, the current rubbish being peddled by the AFLs OFFICIAL WEBSITE regarding Ugle-Hagan is an absolute disgrace.
I hope Bevo holds these idiots accountable.
*rant ends
What is the rubbish being peddled?
This is the only thing I could find and I had to search for it…
https://www.afl.com.au/news/608200/khamis-before-the-jamarra-storm-another-dog-debut-but-no-1-gun-s-wait-continues
There’s certainly going to be questions over a number 1 pick who is fit but not getting a go.
Reading some of the comments from the kennel it sounds like there is two diametrically opposed stories coming out.
All we can hope is that the pressure and media focus on one club’s recruitment priorities doesn’t destroy yet another young career.
If it was a different club who had the no 1 pick it might have been a different player selected, a different club handling the media attention in a different way.
I don’t know that the Doggies have got how they’ve handled this right, and whenever there’s blood in the water there are going to be sharks.
Fingers crossed we get some pressure off and let him have his debut when both he and the club can agree he’s ready.
C Guthrie to tag Dusty?….while on ball maybe?
Duncan possible 140+?
Maybe we can get Clark to ask Scott’s Missus…….LOL
I watched Clark specifically last game, ran hard didn’t play badly at all, they’ve got injuries and still gets dropped. CSCGF. Hope for his sake he goes to another club.
Tu; Bolton
Td; Zorko
Feel like people leaning towards Zorko. Although I feel Bolton has more upside and at a much better age, history shows he could average more in the remaining games.. thoughts appreciated!
Frederick dropped!!!
Yes, he is unfortunately dropped.
That will throw many trades out of the window. Not what was expected.
I though his job security wasn’t great actually.
Port Adelaide: Round 8 team changes
IN Travis Boak, Kane Farrell
OUT Martin Frederick, Sam Mayes, Boyd Woodcock,
Power Snr coach Ken Hinkley
One of these three will be the medical sub –
Boyd Woodcock, Sam Mayes and Marty Frederick
Ken Hinkley : “Marty is a little unfortunate to come out – we could still pick him as the sub. His first few games have been exciting and he is part of the future of this club, but we have some good players coming back into the side”
“Part of the future” but not good enough to get a game.
Guess that people don’t interpret things the same.
Martin Frederick was good enough to get two games and shows promise for a young player but after all that is what he is, a young raw talent that needs developing. Port is a very hard team to get a game and then retain that place as all positions are competitive.
We are all disappointed that a cash cow wasn’t selected this week but AFL coaches and clubs don’t care about supercoach. He will get his opportunity again.
Adelaide: Will Hamill & Luke Brown will play Round 8
Matthew Nicks
Have plenty of cash in bank
could go with one of these: (please comment)
1. Bolton and May for Rowe and Chapman
2 Frederick (PA) and Oliver/Walsh for Chapman and Gulden
3 Frederick and May for Rowe and Chapman
Which Option is better and why
if you think Bolton and May will be in your final team then I think 1 is the best option cause you get two rookies off field.
but if you think you will eventually upgrade them to an uber premium might as well go for Walsh/Oliver who will be in your final team. (Federick has been dropped this week though)
Thanks AA, I do think bolton and May will be in my final team
Essendon : Nick Bryan – “Pleased with what Bryza did. He came in and played a role for us and played on a reasonably experienced ruckman. Pleased with what we saw from him.” Ben Rutten.
Is it cynical me but that does that sound like a “break up” line.? Does not bide well for selection this week with all the past tense inflictions.
Hey! I could be wrong?
It’s not you Bryza, it’s me!
Was hoping to get one more price rise out of Flynn then drop down to Bryan as another R3 cow, doesn’t look like that’ll work.
“Pleased” isn’t really want you want to hear lol, like you said CT.
Throwing him in against Big Mummy would be cruel!!
Nick Bryan Omitted
Rowe lives..!!
Save both trades this week. Think long-term
T/U – Yes
T/D – No
The Port Adelaide AFL emergencies for Port v Crows tonight are
Martin Frederick
Peter Ladhams
Trent McKenzie
Boyd Woodcock

VFL TEAMS players named
W Kelly Ruscoe F Macrae Rantall M Cox Sier
Brockman Nash Downie D.Howe Ceglar Jeka
Sweet Wallis Cavarra
McNeil and A.Scott don’t appear on the VFL named team, so likely to be playing or the medical sub in the AFL team. (unless rested or emg)
Mason Wood in for Ross.
