If one quarter is enough then you can add Gold Coast to your list of impressive sides. Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton and Geelong the four most impressive.

Port wins that game if not for injuries. Poor skills. Slow. Very uninspiring. Sydney were the standout for me. Quality list. Good balance all over the ground. Excellent coaching. Will trouble most teams. Can’t write GWS off. They’ll improve when Greene returns and Hogan is fit. They lacked fire power on the weekend. Carlton were impressive but again we need to see if they can sustain that effort. They have a good list. Defense is very suspect but excellent midfield that will only improve when Walsh returns. And we can’t judge the Dogs. They played a hard opposition 😂 1
old dee 24,083 Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 Yesterday I watched North and the Hawks game. The difference was The Hawks had a key forward who could take a mark North did not. Add North shot themselves in the foot with 3- 50 metre penalities for chatting back to the ump. 1 cost them a goal. Hawks are ordinary. With Brown in their team yesterday North wins that game

It was far from perfect footy but a comeback win against a prelim team is a solid effort. Daniher and Adams impressed at either end. In fairness to Port they probably deserve as much credit even with losing.
