flash!

So lovely to see Sellar has finally delivered the goods. it vindicates Craig's judgement!

While I'm pleased he's doing well, it's hardly the pointy end of year, and I can't see him spending much time forward when we're playing our A side.

I couldn't work out why Neeld tried him as a defensive forward when was doing so well as a mid.

I could, last year, I thought I could. but I won't inspire another inquisition.

Oh & by the way, Hogan & Toumpas say hi !

mark to Melb 35 metres out

Tapscott goal

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

tappy!

[P-man 13,366]

While I'm pleased he's doing well, it's hardly the pointy end of year, and I can't see him spending much time forward when we're playing our A side.

In the absence of Clark (and Hogan), and playing like this, I can't see why not.

[Hannibal 5,814]

I count PA with 12 players with more than 10 and Melbourne with 11 players. Our stats are lower, but its not as diabolical as you suggest.

At the time...

You know, then and now.

[P-man 13,366]

Good start to this quarter, disappointing we fell asleep in the third, again.

[Chook 15,022]

It's clear that the Neeld heirachy do not rate possessions highly. The emphasis is on contested possessions, tackles and clearances. we are winning two of that three.

That's like saying Australian farmers don't like rain, when in reality they just make the best of what they've got.

[waynewussell 6,237]

Good tackle by Jetta

[waynewussell 6,237]

Sellar mark 40 out

[Demon_JB 1,385]

Magner sounds like he is having a ripper game. If Neeld allows him to play more of a midfield free role rather than a defensive forward, could he deliver has a great running mid?

[waynewussell 6,237]

Sellar bad kick for goal

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

Sounds like Port are doing what we used to. Handballing in circles in the back half.

[waynewussell 6,237]

Melb 11 6 72 Port 8 5 53

[waynewussell 6,237]

Gillies and Terlich doing well

[P-man 13,366]

Well there ya go, Sellar 40m out kicks to the right and doesn't make the distance.

[waynewussell 6,237]

Davey kicks his third.

[Demon_JB 1,385]

Goal for DAVEY. HIS THIRD

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

'game set match' the dejected tone of these clowns is really making me grin.. youre getting served by the b-side of a team that finished 16th, and they had to travel here

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

Goal Davey! Crumbed off a smother. They didn't say who but I think Spencer.
