You guys at the game made a heap of noise in enemy territory.
Was proud of yas.

I loved hearing the song being sung with about one minute to go. Well done to those there tonight.

This is just baffling. We’ve seen 3 or 4 this year and there’s absolutely no excuse for getting these so wrong.

It was the best worst pun ever.

Nanna used to say, “if the wind changes, you’ll stay like that!”

Now we know she spoke facts!

I’m convinced Rozee made the Rivers tackle look worse than it actually was. That was a bullshiit decision 

Agree, he just stopped mid tackle after the whistle and went limp, reneged in his duty of care for himself. If he’d tried to continue to stand up or use his core no way would he have gone down like that. Umpire fell for it unfortunately.

In this case it was a massive gale.

Simply brilliant by the boys, but I must sat what a nasty, nasty piece work is that No 15 Rioli fellow. When we all check the replay over the weekend, see how many snipes and cheap shots he makes. Simply nasty.

I reckon this was the worst of all of them.

Lol @ Port feral fans. 

I was lol-ing ‘til one of them threw a bottle of water at me from his car while I was waiting to cross at the lights. Unfortunately he was a good shot, it hit me in the head. But some decent Port supporters made sure I was ok and I ended up walking the rest of the way with them. More importantly though…

YEAH THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

This was one of those matches that you know already you’re never gonna forget. So, so proud of our boys.

And so happy for Jack. ❤️💙

I triple posted. 🙄

Should be locked up.

Good kicking is good footy

That was a very impressive win.

more, please!

So excited with that MEMORABLE win that I double posted.

That was one of the great wins.

Made more remarkable by watching some sort of mirror footy game.

One team dominated territory, clearnces and inside 50s. But often entering into a crowded fifty and missing key chances. Not taking full advantage of momentum.

The other team staying in the game  absorbing pressure in the back half,entering into an open forward line and taking key chances. Taking full advantage of momentum.

Go redlegs.

It's like the reverse from our QF and SF last season 😅

Ha!

Can’t wait until the Tassie team starts up.

So that was a gifted goal from an original Dee's free kick and Dixon was given a gift for an arm chop 10 metres out when the ball was clearly punched out of his hands.

It's not just the count, it's where they're paid.

Anyways, one of the best grinding wins in the last 3 years. Such a great win.

ANBs best game I reckon. Great hearing him talk about Yzes coaching in telling him to slow a little and take a breath when he has posession. His disposal has improved out of sight.

Good teams just get it done. They belted that team song out so loudly.

We seem to be really tight as a team and club right now.

Put me down as a doubter. I didn't think Tmac and BBB would be fit and fast enough but wow they're making a difference.

She can see out of one eye but her husband must be visually challenged 

Absolutely brilliant win. When they got to 16 points up in the third it felt like we were hanging on by fingernails, with the time they had in their forward half, but we defended so well and when the tide turned we took full toll. 

-2 CPs, -15 clearancss, -10 tackles despite being -36 disposals and -21 inside 50s. 99.9% chance if Port does that again this year at home they beat whoever they’re playing. For us to win despite that is a testament to the way we’ve changed how we set up and move the ball.

On TV it felt like we retained forwards deeper to ensure we had options; it also felt like when we were at our worst we lost that shape forward of the ball.

ANB humungous, Brown’s leading and aerial contest work was critical, Viney massive all night and Clarry’s final quarter was stunning. TMac was surprisingly good on Dixon, so much so that we felt comfortable swinging Petty forward. Lever’s intercept game was phenomenal but he and Rivers have to improve their kicking, they both made critical errors. 

Despite all those shout outs, this was a win that didn’t have Trac, Oliver or Gawn dominating for four quarters. That of itself is massive. (Edit: the stats suggest Gawn was more dominant than I felt while watching. I thought Soldo troubled him at times. But clearly Gawn was good).

These sorts of wins, on the road to boot, can really make something of a season.

Ha!

Collingwood and Port they both use the same Guernsey, and have a similar supporter base I guess... 🤣

As critical of ANB over the journey as anyone but props to him for the game tonight. Seems the forgotten man when listening to the media post game

Just finished watching the replay.

Can someone tell me if that Fritsch last kick was really not a goal?

They never show if the ball goes through the goal line before hitting the post on the opposite side of goal.

Thats correct.

They always ask if the entire ball has crossed the line or not.

If it had, whether it hits the post or not, it's a goal.

They should've gone to the ARC goal line view
