We really just need a few goals to break their spirit. 

It’s as if we weren’t playing that q for the umpires. They missed everything going out way. Port can’t keep that up all game. Should break open if we can maintain our structures.

Dees happy for this game to continue. We will eventually get bored and put the car in Drive. 

That was hard to watch.

That is one of the worst quarters I’ve seen of AFL. We’ve got the game on our terms, though didn’t have a great amount of rebound. This is going to be a slog. 

Completely agree. That's half an hour of my life I'm never getting back. 

The upside is that the next three quarters can't possibly be as dull as that...

Played on our terms but a pretty bog ordinary game of footy so far. 

Dominant but not scoring... dangerous 

Hunt is playing a ripper and it’s nice to see Maxy clunking a few 

We kept them goalless but again we missed opportunities. 

Trac you are great but when you mark inside 50 don't turn your back, McDonald was on his own in the goal square and you ignored him. 

Here's hoping for a good 2nd quarter. Take your chances. We are dominating, just not on the scoreboard. 

We could be better. Where we are positioning our shots in the forward fifty needs more polish.

Hunt is looking good

Port's intensity and pressure has been great but I really can't help but think we're letting them run at us a bit.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more bizarre display of umpiring in my life! Perhaps they are looking through the channel 7 camera which is filming the game from the other side of the river

Lol these umpires should be at Auskick next weekend. 

Poor kids. What did they do to deserve that?

The first quarter highlights on replay will be non existent

At the moment BB being sorely missed

Max was terrific that quarter with his marking and positioning

Hunt's defensive acts are good but his disposal is awful.

So inconsistent 

Jordon has been great.

Get ruthless in front of goals and we'll be right...

So I was worried about how Lever would come back, as he has not always been great 1st match back from a spell but I think he looks good so that is promising. Weid dropped a sitter am praying very hard for him. Our system down back look solid. Max is on fire with marking, best game this year. I have a feeling Viney is quite angry and is going to eat someone.

 

FMD Umpire...

Great stuff from Jimmy J then 

Can we have some unbias 7 callers>

Kossies timing is way off when trying to mark

Gawn back to his marking best at least.
