Changes for Rnd 8 V Port Adelaide (Luke Parker to debut!)

[longmile]

The Port doctors?

Is he injured?

[Big Al]

These wankers deem a deliberate elbow to be 2 weeks and Teds legitimate hit to be worth 1.

Fight it and Ted will easily get a downgrade because that's just an outrageous decision.

[Matt79]

Who plays on Motlop this week?

Mattner or Smith would be my guess.

[Wardy]

this game should be winnable, in fact out of the next 4 games, on paper, we should win 3 of them by a mile (the exception being Hawthorn, they are not easy beats), but I'm not feeling all that confident - most teams who have hit the skids in recent times seem to lift against us - dunno why but it really gets on my T*ts when they do. Port will be out to prove everyone wrong, but I'd really like our lads to just tear them a new one, just for a percentage boost, because we badly need it - this winning by a score under 10 points is just nuts. Lift boys - and thrash em! there I've spoken..

Does anyone think there is a decent chance that LJ makes his debut this week?

Pyke may be out, but Port only have one recognised ruckman anyway. Mumford coudl surely carry the duties and LJ move up forward (although he has been played in defence in the reserves).

Or is Seaby or White an automatic inclusion?

What I'd like to see:-

Outs:
Pyke, Moore

Ins:
Parker, LJ

Sub: Jetta

[Auntie.Gerald]

I think we should keep the blow torch on Andrejs to keep stepping up.

There is definite improvement and the game against the Doggies showed more.............Parker in for me or TDL as a strike weapon Sub

I hear Luke Parker will make his debut on Saturday

[BSA5]

I hear Luke Parker will make his debut on Saturday

Really? Awesome if true!

[dimelb]

I hear Luke Parker will make his debut on Saturday

Having in mind your amazing predictive abilities, ugg, I'm very happy!

[ABloodsMan]

Amazing news Ugg, nice to see the results from your wiretap on Horse's phone

[JudesaGun]

Fantastic news. Wonder who makes way? Moore?

[Auntie.Gerald]

moore or less !

[JudesaGun]

Imagine LJ is ticking off someone else who is debuting before him.

[S120]

LJ would have been cursing the fact Teddy got off. With LRT still not fit enough (at least Horse keeps harping on about his fitness), Johnston surely would have come in had Ted not been let off.

Very excited to hear about Parker. I've got a 21st on Saturday night though so I might miss the game which would suck balls.

I've got a 21st too - first game I've missed in years. I'm still undecided about whether I want to check score updates or just watch the entire replay in the morning!
