How’s that for a stat, 18 marks to port, 2 for us at quarter time!

And we lead 

keep going Dees don’t worry about umps 

get it done 

[Brownie 5,992]

Gee we're looking better this week.

our forward line looks dangerous.

Now for four quarters of this and we should crack all 25 of the port players

8 frees to 5. 

so many not awarded to us and heaps of theirs simply not there. 

Always the way!!! ?

[Chook 15,022]

Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup.

Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry.

May immense.

It’s 35-21 marks Port’s way.

[Lord Travis 10,763]

Fix our set shots and we’ll win every week!

35 to 21 according to my stats

The umpiring is atrocious! How can you get a free kick when the guy falls over into Tmacs knees and he was trying to get out of the way! Motlop’s throw for their second goal!! I am beyond frustrated 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Funny not one commentator has said anything yet the game against the Dons which was nowhere near as lobsided got a lot discussion.

Was only the last 10 minutes that stat ?

Ah yeah just saw that that, thanks ?

[The heart beats true 18,145]

I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team.

The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

[dees189227 12,426]

Amazing the difference when we win the centre clearances. The last 3 were great. 

Just our field kicking has been off. Viney needs to be better in that department. 

Salem started well.

9 more uncontested possessions so unsurprising.

Should have been below the knee if anything.

Yeah it flashed up on the screen thought it was the whole quarter, but was just for the last 10mins of quarter.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Best start weve had in weeks

Gotta admit these maggots have no shame.

We’re switched on which is good. BBB not involved yet but another tall in there clearly is helping with structure.

[Dr.D 1,771]

Brayshaw's tackle pressure is up but been pretty dumb giving 2 costly free kicks away. Needs to be a bit smarter but a good start. 

Charlie Spargo is so good at the toby Greene move. 

[Gunna’s 2,104]

Worst umpiring display this year

Teams try to control the ball rather than bomb it in to lever and may.  Probably makes that stat lopsided

I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?
