Re: Teams - Dogs v Power

That's a long list of outs re: Port.

Glad to see Hilly back in (although sad Callan's out .. great couple of games though!). CARN THE DOGS!!

Doogs and Wight mustn't be too happy.

Ward will bounce back and great to see Hill back.

Re: Teams - Dogs v Power

Tiller was stiff to be dropped earlier I reackon and Hill has been knocking on the door for a few weeks now. Ward did well for a young kid but was never going to be inlong term at the moment but I have no doubt he will bounce back and get back in the 22 soon.

They had 5 forced changes, what other options did they have?

Didn't they play out the remainder of the Richmond game, though? I didn't watch it & haven't heard about it until now, I haven't really come across any 'excuse' - it was more that Port Adelaide were just crap.

If it were a Finals game, or even an important game, I'm sure a few of those boys would be playing.

Williams has conceded Finals as 'over', and suggested he would play kids, so even if they are a bit sore, it's still a fairly big change over.

Well neither have performed at Williamstown to feel deserve a spot.
I would be more upset if was Tiller and was wasn't selected.
Everitt did an ok job of filling last week at CHB and I think Tiller gives us more flexiblity in Darwin

Re: Teams - Dogs v Power

Pleased to see both additions: Tiller hardly put a foot wrong and now brings a real intensity. Hill could be ready to light up TIO Stadium on a balmy Darwin winters night.

Re: Teams - Dogs v Power

Now I know that most of us thought we'd easily account for the Pies last week and they proved very tough, and Port did get us in 06 up there when their season was done, but..........

I smell a relaxing Saturday night spanking

Re: Teams - Dogs v Power

More worried about this one than the Collingwood game.

Re: Teams - Dogs v Power

Is it just me, or does anyone else find all this a bit surreal sitting in second place with a team with a good mix of old champions, great mid-twenties players and a crop of young guns, looking like a good chance to play in a GF and now playing the "great we exist to win premierships" Port Adelaide full of kids and with their season over?

Hope we really spank the pricks.

Ditto.

I can't stand Port Adelaide's arrogance, they count all their SANFL Premierships and as you said, protest how they 'exist to win premierships'. I can't stand one of their main posters on the other website, he's incredibly one eyed, although I haven't seen what he's said about them/us for a while.

I was a little worried at the beginning of the week, but Port Adelaide have 5 very good players out whilst Boak is a quality young player too.

The momentum is all our way, we have much more to play for & are a far better football team - especially with their outs. Really, we should win this one by 6+ goals and anything less would be a bit of a disappointment.
