How is the boundary rider...!?!

Was my next-door neighbour when I was in high school playing footy. Absolute top bloke.*

Can they just thrown Harmes onto Boak for the second half? He's not done much, so may as well cancel Boak.

Wines. Cancel out wines

Perhaps you are too young to have seen Fitzroy's last game v Adelaide. Benchmark. 

Go Dees

Oh I still remember that. That was a dark day in Australian Rules.

They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

Yep. They've been poor in general. Both sides copping the short end of the stick.

ANB and Harmes very disappointing

Harmes is a worry 

Don't know what he brings

At least the junk free to Dixon will keep Maysie and the team playing angry

[WalkingCivilWar 33,384]

If we win, the winning margin will be worth double of what it is purely because we’re not only playing another team, we’re playing against the deplorable umpiring as well. 

[FireInTheBennelly 4,027]

If we didn't get pinged for tackling when they drop the ball, we'd be 6-7 goals up now.

AnB having a nightmare of a game. He is literally a detriment right now.

Do you ever comment on anything other than the umpires? They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

Not soley but heavily

i like Ben Brown being in the side he is not getting a lot of the ball but is sucking up a lot of attention, that gives our other forwards a chance to get into the game.

Agree whole heartedly.

but just to be fair, 13 guys in the team (not including medi sub) have had the ball less than BB 

[leave it to deever 16,186]

Oliver on track for forty touches? with 20 already.

And his first halves tend to be slower.

Wish Boak would leave us alone just for once

Every. Damn. Time!

[dees189227 11,016]

I don't mind the booing because it means we have the ball. 

Ugh I was saying no late goals before the siren. 

Petty magnificent so bar. His ball use has been great. 

Trac had a great 1st half. 

Pickett getting into the game. yeah that last 50 was there. If alir had touched it the ump would have said play on. No different ot eh fritta one. 

I like what Ben Brown is doing. He's providing a contest and taking ports best backman from the others. 

We are playing so much better than last week. We aren't over handpassing it and playing on at all costs. Love it. 

Come on dees keep it going.

Great start.

Port are getting very few clean looks. 

BBB has yet to hit the scoreboard, but he’s undoubtedly straightened us up. If he can jag one or two, he can say he’s done his job.

Clearances have improved out of sight.

I hope Ed has gleaned what our mindset is. If we go in knowing our foot is on the neck and it’s time to move in for the kill, we should win.

Would like more from Fritta, ANB, Viney and Harmes

Yes our stars are playing well but let's help them out a bit 

Would like less from Harmes. Every time he touches the footy it ends up in Port Adelaide hands. Reverse King Midas.

Start supporting the MFC

Yep fumbling it and dropping marks. 

[Stiff Arm 4,415]

Really want to see Oliver kick 2 or 3 goals in 2nd half. Nothing better than an A grade mid who hits the scoreboard

Can we stop saying Petty is no good now? Kthnxby

Petty has had a great night. But his last 3 weeks have been terrible

Good thing his only had 3 touches.
 

Not even half as many as Ben Brown

I’m usually reluctant to bag the umpires. I rarely do it. But this is off the charts terrible umpiring. 

[DeeZee 6,853]

The connection between Gawn , Trac and Clarry is good tonight and Brown balances out the forward line much better.

We also started better this week and those were the three things we wanted to improve on.
