Sonesie and mcaulife for Dow and banks

Wish we never got hopper coz you just know he will be taking a kids spot.

The writing is on the wall, let’s stop calling it a rejuvenation and let’s face it as a rebuild

I remember not so long ago everyone praising Banks for having a crack and bagging Brown for being soft & timid ...how things have changed now we've seen both in amongst the big boys...Banks was always the least talented of the increasingly infamous '21 5...will likely keep his spot though due to Trezise's injury.... :shh

Just read on the AFL website that Hopper is going into hospital tomorrow for a look and likely clean up ans will miss at least 2 weeks.

So based on that I'm adjusting my INS

MRJ instead of Hopper

Geez i thought Grimesy got towelled up today. Has to be on the radar.

Thought there wasn't much he could do, the way the ball was coming in to Port's forward 50 in the second half. To be fair, he was being asked to play tall, he should have been standing Finlayson if we had another KPD available. We were always going to find it hard to quell the talls today without Gibcus and Young, and when the Port midfield got on top, we were sitting ducks. Our lack of size in the midfield was the issue, not Grimes etc.
