Dogs look very ordinary. A lot of their players look to have stalled. Smith doing nothing. 

Meanwhile Port are having that season where their second tier talent are playing well above their expectations. Be interesting to see if they can keep it up for a year. I think Ken may have stacked the cards for an all out assault early. Will see in the second part of the year.

See the nastiness in Port when a team mate is manhandled, or even just tackled aggressively.

Haven’t seen that with us for a few years.

You might see it on Monday me thinks.

looks a poor crowd for a big friday game. 30k?

the AFL has killed the neutral fan that would have delivered 5-10k to this game

Anyway who cares it's a TV game these days........ reap what you sew

The real question is, who has the worst tatts, Liberatore or Dixon.

Come on Doggies!!!!

Poor defending from the Dogs there, especially Daniels 

Doggies are paying the price for all the frees they have been given in the past.

Port play a smart corridor game

They're going places

JHF is a very good player

How was that not a free against Willy Rioli

Some sort of pick-up and goal from Horne-Francis 

Weightman flopping again.

8 mins to go and Arthur Jones hasn’t had a single possession.

Naughton being wasted in this Dogs side. 

Would rather get Treloar.  Exactly what we need in the middle.

Is Burgess at Port or Adelaide?

Not sure how he keeps getting a game lately.  

BT talking up his 6 tackles 

That free kick in the square happens 80 times a week and NEVER gets paid.

 

Looked a perfect shepard to me. Bad call

That is just horrid. How can you pay a free against Baker for that. Footy is just getting to hard to watch.

Is it fair to say that the only way Port or Brisbane win this year’s flag is if they play each other in the GF?

Can’t see either overcoming the home state and home ground advantage that Collingwood will likely own this year.

Dogs really unlucky there. I’ve seen our defenders get decapitated on a goal line  shepherd.

So strange watching the Doggies receive a touch up from the umps.

On reflection Dan Butler should be fine, I doubt Dan Christians even knows there was a game on a Thursday night.

Didn’t watch the whole TV of the game - did the commentators say he could have a problem?  If not how did Christian even know about it?

Daniels “elite disposal” overrated in my experience.  Turns over too much.
