Nicholls is umpiring, why are people so surprised...

 

Did we job one of the umps sisters and not call them the next day?

Screw it. It tastes sweeter beating 26

Yellow maggots absolutely keeping port in it.

They have dropped the ball so many times and havent been pinged. Ridiculous.

I've noticed that all year. Its a direction the umps have taken but it doesn't reward all our hard work.

 

Gotta say its absolutely bloody freezing here. Punt road end is bloody artic.

Edited by DSP

Port can really play and change momentum quickly. This will become an even contest very quickly if we don't keep up the intensity. 

Dominating the clearances is helping. Welcome back Tyson Viney and Gawny (to form)


Have we been allowed one advantage yet? I'm not usually a critic of the umpiring, but this certainly looks like a systematic approach to slow down our run.

Absolutely super half of footy by the dees

need to bring that intensity out of the sheds in the 2nd half. Do that and we'll win this by 15 goals

Free kick in the centre with less than 20 seconds remaining and Trengove kicks it to the wing?

Dumb.

That was petracca

But a full 360, before dropping the ball, and its still play on?

I'm about to send my wife outside so I can break something.

 

Neal Bullen is improving weekly. Very impressed with his vision.

Been happy for Trenners thus far.

Watts is invisible.

Still no second efforts from Hogan, although a couple of his goals were very nice work.

Welcome back Max Gawn

Tyson fantastic first game back

Neville Jetta is bloody brilliant. Love him.

Chook, I have been out of my chair at LEAST 6 times, at blatant frees to us that have not been given.

They have been [censored] disgusting today.

Part of their mandate is to exert a buffering influence on the scoreboard where ladder leaders and interstate teams are concerned so it's really business as usual.

 


We played some good footy and tackling was great. Have to keep up the pressure in 2nd half or they will fight their way back into it.

I really think the umpires were not just on the plane, but on the team bus for PA

Tackle count please.

47 to 44 our way

That's great news Crompton.

After today, we will be a ladder leader.

Look forward to seeing us get whats due.

 Salem and JKHTrac always has a quiet first half. The upside is he usually as a big second. Lewis needs to stop handballing to someone under pressure and if we could have more space in our forward line it would be good. Great tackling from us. Perhaps JKH could lift with Milkshake.

Watts and Salem struggling which is to be expected. Max may be tiring put him at FF maybe.

He's still pizzed at Maxy for thumping his crap ball up away when we played Collingwood.

I've been vocal about how bad ANB's kicking has been this year but not today. He's been spotting up everyone - and with great intensity. So good to see.

jetta - has to be top 10 plays in the comp he's our rock.

Trenners hasn't put a foot wrong, directing traffic in our defensive set ups, no obvious problems at this level, playing on Sam Grey.

Ours are more effective but thankyou.


Viney pretty quiet that quarter. Had 12 disposals in first term and only picked up 2 more to half time.

Third quarter is massive. Hope come out with the same intensity and keep rolling on. Dont want a post NT game 2nd half fade out.

Trenners has been ok.

No glaring errors, and good positioning.

Hasn't been exposed for pace yet either.

Very happy for him.

 

And Hibberd has been recruit of the year. What a player.

free kick count?

Whatever it is, it doesn't take into account non-decisions, of which there has been many in favour of port. The umpiring has truly been extraordinary this game.

About as rusty as you can get! Getting in the right spots though and speed looks as good as ever

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
