You think I'm basing my view on one game?

Okay.

No, I don't think you are seeing his upside.

A few, not saying you, see him as another Blease. Because he is fast and has red hair it doesn't make him Blease. For a start he keeps his feet and for another he seems to have decent tank and will defend.

I see his upside, I just give more weight to his downside, which you don't see as a downside.

I'd take him if we got him very, very cheap, which isn't going to happen.

Not now it's not, and probably not earlier either as I think Sydney know what they have.

Additionally, the last time a side had the week off in the finals but lost the Preliminary final was Adelaide in 2006. Doesn't bode well for Port...

One of the reasons why I think the finals system needs a restructure.

That's is carp. FMD one of the reasons the finals needs a restructure is because the home side with a week off and 6 goals up early in the third term couldn't win once a side with the best midfield in the comp and 3 once in a generation midfielders started to get on top and ran over the top of them

Yes great logic in your argument.

Lets just leave the finals alone there are far bigger issues in the game.

I wouldn't be totally opposed to a week's break before the PF.

Top four would still get an advantage with the double chance and would all but totally rule out complaints over one side getting a week off.

It would however mean that the winner of a QF gets TWO weeks off, which could almost be a disadvantage if they are too cold going into a PF.

Overall am happy with the way it is.

Just showed the PA faithful marching to G. Thought I had the wrong channel on for a sec and was watching The Walking Dead, is there a supporter base more feral?

Port have started off well. They look confident.

Ps how was that holding the ball? Where was prior?

Exactly what I came here to write.

PA give me hope. A few years ago they were a basket case...

At the game watching my cousin.

Atmosphere is electric give hawks supporters a run for their money in terms of how loud they are!

Go power!

Good qtr of footy by Port. Didn't impact the score enough. Need to be 6-8 goals up at half time. LOVE to see Hawks knocked out this week.

I think if PA have a 2-3 goal lead at 3/4 time, they will be able to outrun Hawthorn. I also would love to see those arrogant Hawks knocked out.

These umpires don't need to worry about what they are doing next week, won't be umpiring the grand final they have been shocking just gifting the Hawks back into the game

One thing I've noticed about Port Adelaide that we don't do is they shepherd extremely well for each other, as well as running both ways HARD all game.

Those two things are purely effort and fitness.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
