Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok.

almost ban-able, surely!

If you compare our forward syngery this week with previous weeks, it is miles apart. I don't know how many times Petracca knocked over his team mates and then fumbled the ball.

We've been rattled by the Collingwood affair and seem to be lacking confidence (Hogan and Petracca in particular). 

+1

[ProperDee 1,698]

We are a couple of kicks away from smashing this. Open the forward line a little. Push Hannan and Melksham wider. TMac, Hoges and Tracs within 20 metres of goal.

[Demonland 72,230]

This quarter will tell the tale me thinks.

Umps trying to even up the game again. Been saying it for 12 months. Last two nights [censored] obvious 

stats can be a bloody nuisance during a match.

umpiring stats should be kept private from the umps, until after the game.

Missing a small forward likeJeffy. He would have got two by now with the amount of inside 50 ‘s we have had.

Yep and have said it all along

T smith Fritcsh, Harmes Neal Bullen Hogan all very poor!

Career defining game for some!

We should be well up! Inside 50ts Obliterating opposition!

Don't think we can do it

Endeavour great but No finishing class 

Over it!

[Pates 9,660]

We are smashing them everywhere except for the scoreboard. Hinckley will be telling the Port players they are lucky to not be 10 goals behind. We’ve missed easy chances and our forward entries have been a disgrace. TMac and Hogan must be scratching their heads wondering what the midfield are thinking. 

I see one of two things happening. 

1) we keep dominating the clearances and continue getting multiple inside 50s whereby we will actually get out sh_t together and win in a canter. 

Or 2) they work us out and we kick ourselves for not taking our opportunities when we had them.

For those getting stuck into hogan, he has covered the 5th highest distance on the ground. He’s working hard but not being rewarded by his team mates

Hogan convering 7.6km for 6 disposals

Certainly feels that way. I can understand the Tyson in move, but Tyson for Spargo has left us a small scrapper down. 

But there are a few players we're not getting enough out of, even if the intensity is there: Harmes, T Smith, even a few in the backline even though the ball has hardly been down there: Salem, Joel Smith. I can understand them keeping Fritsch up the ground because of his ball use, but we need a couple of smarter players closer to goal.

[Demonland 72,230]

That was not in the back. Didn't even land on him. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,052]

Pretty hard to score when Port have a full flood going

Hogan is not the problem. Port are successfully holding us up at the wing, flooding, and he is surrounded by 4 or 5 guys at every contest. There has been zero adjustment. He needs to move up the ground and we need to be cleaner across the middle of the ground. It is not so much delivery going forward that is killing us. We are simply allowing them the freedom to flood.

Not saying he is the problem just that he is out of form. Friday night and a big game is were he should dominating. Instead he is missing chest marks and not reading the play.

[Demonland 72,230]

How was that not too high to Viney?

This is a travesty in the free kicks not awarded stakes. 

[monoccular 17,432]

How could any sane person say that was not high on Viney?

[Demonland 72,230]

How was that not dropping the ball on Westhoff. Was tackled and dropped it. 

[praha 11,240]

Good goal.

Why is max tapping goal side when rucking in defensive 50?

[Demon Disciple 12,180]

was about to post how long for us to kick a goal this quarter? Good to see it wasn't another 10-15 minute dry-spell.

Too bad about the quick reply

No one is having a go. Running that distance is of no use if you are paid to be a goal kicker, 

he just doesn’t seem to know what he should be doing,

[Demonland 72,230]

Important kick from smith. 

[layzie 33,862]

Bully boy!

[monoccular 17,432]

That was a better set up Bull

[Demon Disciple 12,180]

Loved his tackling in the first half.
