Jones - quieter than usual

Vince - loves Adelaide games

Hogan - needn't have arrived

Watts - quiet but useful

Petracca - some magical touches

Viney - couldn't get going

Brayshaw - regained lost touch

Gawn - what a heart

Tyson - wonderful first half

Oliver - classy and composed

Stretch - couldn't find ball

Kent - creative but wasteful

Frost - becoming a weapon

Pedersen - limited but tries

vandenBerg - occasionally popped up

T.McDonald - impassable all game

O.McDonald - has actually arrived

Hunt - deserves a nomination

Bugg - some isolated cameos

Garlett - was always dangerous

Jetta - career best game

Harmes - tough and relentless

Bit of a weird one tonight.

Stretch had 17 touches, not sure how he couldn't find the ball.

Jones had 29 touches, so I wouldn't have said he was 'quiet'.  Wasn't one of his better games but he still had an influence.

And Harmes couldn't get near it all night, and made some poor turnovers as well.

I also thought Pedersen was better than 'limited'.

The rest, however, are spot on.  Hogan is desperately out of form, Viney had a bit of a shocker, and while I loved Kent's game he still made 7 clangers.

Joeboy, are serious about Harmes????

Harmes = error after error

Harmes is tough and relentless, but you are right he is becoming a turnover specialist.

His kick out on the full, from a mark at the start of the 3rd quarter, started the Port comeback, with his direct opponent marking and goaling from the free kick. 

I am starting to think he should only play forward, where he can apply pressure, kick an occasional goal and not kill you with his poor disposal.

Salem, Melksham and maybe Hibberd will improve the back flank.

Maybe Harmes can improve his disposal in the off season, as it is a major problem in his game ATM.

I think Stretch is going to be a very good outside mid for us. He always makes the right decision, has pace and good disposal.

Jones was in there all night, just some of his disposal was off.

Hogan IMO was our worst player. His miss from about 20 was critical at the time and he seems devoid of confidence. His few possessions up the ground, took so long to give off, our forward line was flooded. This is a bad part of his game, he needs to work on. Wasn't limping and seemed fit enough. Has hardly kicked a goal in his last few games. Hopefully has a cracker against the Blues.

Viney had a hard tag and was the subject of several assaults, without even a free kick.

Seems Hogan is in a bit of a slump. Hopefully he can pull himself out of it. Mind you, I thought Port's big defenders did a pretty good job. Watts is in cracking form and didn't get a lot of clear opportunities (apart from that one in the last qtr). 

You'd think Hoges and Watts will kick 7-8 between them next week.

Some here really overreact about our young players, and put errors under the microscope. When Oscar started, he could do nothing right. "SACK HIM!" "BACK TO CASEY!" "HE'S NOT READY!". Now one our better defenders.

Harmes had a solid game. Worked hard, won some nice ball, made some mistakes. It happens.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
