GAME DAY - Round 18

[Wiseblood 24,637]

We are in this game...

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Need to shut this crowd up.

[Chook 15,013]

Frawley kicks a goal to put us 13 points down despite everything. The first 10 minutes of the first quarter was good, and the last 20 minutes of the second quarter was also good. Keep it up and we'll be in the mix all day.

[What 18,810]

13 points at half time

This game is there for the taking

Kent in for Watts please

[chook fowler 19,459]

Credit to the boys for preventing a blow out. Not without a chance.

[Deemotivated 550]

Well we fought back... Hope they can rip in after half time.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Really interesting moment in that build-up to the Frawley goal where Bail had the ball in the clear but actually looked to go sideways!

Thankfully he kept running and hit Frawley but to even think to take away all of his momentum by going sideways was just dumb.

[Ted Lasso 19,520]

Wow, I thought Collingwood and Richmond crowds were bad, Port are right up there.

If we win this game I'll stop posting on Demonland.

[T-34 409]

At least we don't have to put up with Bruce mcaveney,s continuous statement ending in a question?

Really good insight shown by the pantsman don't you think Leigh?

[beelzebub 23,380]

Glad to see some having a crack and working us back into the game. Strangely this year our 3rd qtrs haven't been too bad. Nows the time for a blinder though.

Go Dees

[Ted Lasso 19,520]

Wouldn't mind seeing Howe go forward, just give us a different dimension up forward, I doubt any of the port defenders could go with him in the air.

move Vince to half back

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Happy with the fight back considering they couldn't do anything right for 15 mins there - some poor umpiring but u need to take the good with the bad - that last Frawley goal was a gift from a soft free on Gray

On Watts he is elite reader of play and ball user but he is poor at most other facets..... If u could put Watts skill in Dawes body you'd have quite a good player

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Loving pigdogs work as well. Boys need to keep doing the basics right and we could be a sneaky chance.... probs only a small chance

[P-man 13,366]

Another game where against every conceivable odd, we are still in it.

[PJ_12345 1,098]

Tackles at half time:

1. Lobbe - 8
2. Riley - 7
3. Cornes - 6
4. Wines - 5
5. Gray - 4

Has more than Vince, Tapscott, Pedersen, McDonald, Jamar, Grimes, Dunn, McKenzie, Howe, Frawley, Watts, and JHK combined

[chook fowler 19,459]

Riley 7 tackles. Have been better with Chip up forward. Another stinker from Watts.

Watts hasn't been great but he has plenty of mates, and when he gets it he makes good decisions backed by excellent disposal.

This is streets ahead of most others and he is not worst.

We may be seeing why Blease has struggled for a game as well.

[P-man 13,366]

Agree on Pigdog.

As Luke "say that again" Darcy would say, I just love the way he goes about it.

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Wot a man -

He missed that easy goal I'll forgive that becuase I love his effort

[Ethan Tremblay 30,873]

I really want to see Watts get into the game, he's played good game in our wins especially in the second half.

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

I agree CB

I don't like it ATM - boys first instinct is to go backwards or sideways - under certian circumstances i agree but when you win the ball and have run it should be all forward movement

[beelzebub 23,380]

Riley finding form

2015 will be good.

[CityDee 738]

Watts absolutely did not squib that , he needed to get lower and go harder against a smaller player.

[picket fence 17,172]

By my reckoning several players have a half of footy to show they might be part of the future

Watts ( Does not do anywhere near enough or want it bad enough)

Tapscott ( Limited)

Blease ( Pace, but that's about it)

Mc Kenzie ( Sorry, but I still cannot believe how a bloke with the skills of a park footballer still gets a game at AFL Level)?
