Ricochet you are a gun, best infor ever. I watched all the sanfl games this week and Symes should get a call up he was on fire, wright was also good but dont know if he will get named. Shaw was servicable without being best on.

Mitch Banner played has played well a few weeks in a row in sanfl, Jasper Pittard is a fair way off and Renouf will be back in AFL lineup this week

some interesting names there

i.e doecherty, Miles, Taylor Adams, Walsh

some good downgrade options

[Bones Bombers]

Great work mate! Lots of info there!
Cheers!

[Binga]

massive DT games from, Symes, Miles and Neale!

[Mr.Craig]

Awesome work Ricochet. :D

Just one thing though, the Power list includes players who are at a number of different SANFL clubs not just the Port Magpies. For an analysis of all the Power relevant performances over the weekend you can check out this link...

http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/News/NewsArticle/tabid/6038/newsId/132752/Default.aspx

Update - it looks like that info is from the previous round, details for the most recent matches should be published tomorrow.

[tigers123]

good on ya ricochet  :)

worrying that there was no mention of big dicko (tory dickson) in the WBD section  :(

come on big couch! i need him in so i can get dicko out!

[elephants]

Woo.
115 for Symes not even including possible tackles/hitouts he may have picked up. If only he could do that consistently in the AFL :o

[PowerBug]

Awesome work Ricochet. :D

That's what i was going to say. :) We do things differently in SA. :-X

[The F.A.R.K.]

Woo.
115 for Symes not even including possible tackles/hitouts he may have picked up. If only he could do that consistently in the AFL :o

he does he just gets injured too often


also anyone notice lachie neale had 1 hit out, the bloke would be the height of my belly button and im not even a ruckman hahaha

[ossie85]

Very nice stuff

[Justin Bieber]

Neale with a hitout lol.

Yeah I heard Adams from GWS might get a call-up this week. Hopefully not lol.

[Scrads]

Woo.

more importantly it earnt him a DT point ;)

[Zombie2.5]

Just traded neale out and looks like he'll be replacing Fyfe.... Shower!!

And just something from In The Mix on the AFL website: http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tabid/208/newsId/133308/Default.aspx

Mark Neeld has suggested there will only be limited changes this week, with Jack Grimes' suspension forcing at least one. Brad Green is a possibility to return after playing in the VFL. Although Green was tagged, Neeld was impressed with his effort. Ricky Petterd also played well and could return to the forward line, where he can mark and put pressure on at ground level, something missing last week. Joel McDonald would be an obvious replacement for Grimes down back but one gets the feeling Neeld would be keener to elevate a young player, which might be Josh Tynan. Sam Blease was not great in the VFL last week while Daniel Nicholson has been impressive on the track and is in contention. The consistent Tom Couch keeps putting his hand up but it is hard to see the Demons including both James Magner and Couch in the same team

This is interesting as you would think that in their terrible team, Couch should get a run

And also for PB, Sam Blease was not great in the VFL last week while Daniel Nicholson has been impressive on the track and is in contention. :P

And good work as always Rico :D cheer  ;)
