GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs Port Adelaide

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,882]

Fritta making every touch count.  Been really impressed with his poise and ball handling.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Tough final five minutes to the term, but we held them relatively well, even if we had a little luck to go with it.

Midfield has been really good so far and I've liked the work of McDonald and Weideman up forward.

Hopefully those last five minutes were nothing more than a blip on the radar.

Fine for me. Though could have done without the getting up at 3.30 am part. 

[The Swimming Dee 1,904]

Would love to see petracca get more involved. Melksham is an elite footballer!

[Demonland 73,161]

We should be further up but were also lucky they missed some easy ones.

Weid has been good.

Gee Melksham makes a huge difference to our forward line.

Salem playing the backline general well I recon he is the replacement for Lewis.

Not bad so far.

Port regained their poise somewhat at the end but we made the most of our opportunities early. Nibbler needs to work on his set shots however.

Sparrow looks like he belongs.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Pettracca needs to lift

[layzie 34,013]

Some nice work so far. A few cheap turnovers in midfield but we're getting busy.

... and my Essendon mate said he was "just a player" when they traded him.

[bing181 9,328]

Viney and Petracca not exactly making their presence felt.

With May to come back, Frost would want to be stepping up.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,882]

Jones has done some good stuff.  Very much involved in the game.

[chook fowler 19,551]

Hunt, Trac, Spargo and Viney very quiet.

No, surely Oscar has to come under scrutiny.  He is rubbish and is ridiculously slow.

Yep, he's actually been really good out on the wing.

Fat muscle?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

That was pathetic defensive work from O Mac then.  Westhoff should never have marked that.

[The Swimming Dee 1,904]

Frost is incredibly frustrating

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,882]

Umpiring howler - how can you pay in the back to a ball that has gone out on the full!#!

He was stiff, though.  Ball was called out on the full and then he paid the push in the back.

Bad call. Soft call. But Jesus Frost is dumb to put his hands on his back for no reason.

Frustrating

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,882]

For those watch Fox - WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON GARRY!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Frost loves holding on to players.
