Neale wanted to be a big boy and take on AVB. Serves him right. 

Edit: ok maybe he was just running past but serves him right for getting too close. 

AVB stupid 50 and has been caught holding the ball twice. Needs to pull his head in.

Farcical it wasn't a free to Weed earlier, even more farcical that he was given one just then.

Like always, umpires are continually negatively influencing the contest.

Geez Louise that was dumb AVB

What's happened to Hibberd's kicking?

Aaah you can tell footy is back when you come on here, players are getting bagged, umps are copping it and we are losing. 

Wasted opportunity by Hibberd. Harmes intensity has been well down today. Looks like he's avoiding contact if anything. very strange!

Take this into the season proper and we are in for a big drop down the ladder, too many good teams below us

That’s what happens when ur playing like crap

They look so much more organized than us

They're out running us

Are we unfit?

They’re absolutely killing us all over the ground.  Credit to them. 

We are getting pummeled. Nothing to like here. 

Good to see we have improved our defensive efforts over the summer. fmd.

Dunstall = annoying

Nibbler has been awful this pre season. No other way to dress it.

We look so hectic when going forward, yet we're letting them waltz through the midfield going the other way.

ANB has turned fumbling and falling over into and art form. Tiny hands and oily feet.

Taking commentary tips from Brereton

Only positives so far are Hunt and Petracca playing to their strengths and having an impact. Gawn is wining taps, but it's not leading to any effective clearances. Everyone else is playing poorly, and the effort is non-existent. Hope the coach gives them a rocket and makes them have a crack. We're getting shown up by a worse team than us who are more organised and working harder.

Could have so easily been 9 or 10 conceded.

Port are currently $3.52 against us round 1 I suggest loading up 

Brisbane too good, simple as that.

He's probably been the worst drop off in form since last year. He'll never be a star, but was always working hard and contributing. This preseason he has been pathetic in every aspect of the game and doesn't warrant a place in the team come round 1.

Gawn the only winner on the ground for us. Trac and Hunt ok. 

The rest are no good. Oliver and Gus barely getting their hands on the footy?
