Paddy McCartin is a dead ringer for Robbie “Mad Dog” Muir

He was one scary bastard. Could play occasionally when his temper allowed it

Don't think "Paddy" has that Martial Art touch, his is more "potato" touch......

Silvagni always looks like he’s about to burst out crying.

Low scoring scraps are back.

Mainly low scoring due to shocking conversion rates today

[buck_nekkid 5,863]

This competition is all over the place.  Hard to get a bead on how things will pan out.  Makes the capitulation last week even more painful.

port-geelong should, in theory, be a cracker

what's the bet it's a dour slog and freo-dogs a fast flowing speed fest?

such is the topsy-turvy nature of afl season 2018!

I think you’re being polite with the word shocking RGRS. 32 behinds under the roof?

Would be very interesting to see that broken down into set shots etc.

With forward pressure I am not surprised by the seemingly low conversion rates.

Mind you Greene and then Shield kicked two beautiful goals on the run from different pockets for GWS.

On a more serious note the team that cracks the accuracy stakes will go far. How they do it who knows.

I hate Selwood, but have to admit he's playing a blinder ...

[What 18,810]

Was just think how great it is that Port and the Crows moved to Adelaide Oval and ditched AAMI Park.

AAMI was a graveyard for Melbourne, butt we have been fantastic at Adelaide Oval.

"Hes a quality guy, Lindsay Thomas" -   James Brayshaw

Five minutes later and Thomas snipes someone  as hes done his whole career.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,248]

This is the first time I've watched Jack Watts play for Port. He's been awful.

[rjay 24,928]

I know it's Dangerfield so probably won't happen but he should get many, many weeks for dumping Westoff head first into the turf off the ball.

That was a very dangerous action that could have had disastrous implications...

From the Port forum

"J Watts should be out there in a dress."

Yes saw that but they will move on and concentrate on Lindsay Thomas. He will go down but I am not sure it was that bad. Need to see the replay a few times more.

Thomas was very dirty.

Commentators then quizzed each other on how much of a ‘good bloke’ he is off the field.

See when he jogged in for a mark and the Geelong player just ran past him and took the ball.

[640MD 3,377]

Yes painfull only half interested

but the ball is going through him forward 

even without his full effort

Goody made the right call on this one

[chook fowler 19,459]

Dare I say it, but our forward line could do with Jack Watts’ fierce tackling, one percenters and hard running.

[Druss 22]

LOL you guys are obsessed. He's one of their highest disposal winners. Been involved in a lot of plays. Covered a lot of ground. Has quick hands and decision making. Been asked to swing across half back and the forward line. Laid some tackles. Landed a huge bump in a recent passage of play. But yeah because he's not Dangerfield he's a spud who should be in a dress.

And we're still paying for him!

Good thing we got rid of him so we can make way for hard nuts like..Bugg and...you know...all those other amazing half forward talls we have in our line up.

[What 18,810]

Where are all the posters who were melting down when Watts kicked 6 in a JLT game?

He is worse at Port than he was at Melbourne.  Terrible footballer.

You must have been very impressed when he completely f****d up that goal opportunity in the 4th. How he made so many mistakes in one passage defies logic.

He's been half paced all game.
