POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Port Adelaide

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,386]

Something no one on here would be aware of is this morning as I was getting dressed to do the grocery shopping with my wife, I dug out the “Give em Hell” t - shirt from the 2021 finals campaign. Had 2021 vibes this morning and tonight compounded that feeling.

Arguably ANB’S best game for the club. 
 

BBB playing like he’s 22 again.

Both players with multiple clutch goals.

[dl4e 5,851]

Excellent win. Only mature footy clubs kow how to win a game like that.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,206]

ANB take a bow

Clarrys last quarter was immense

Windsor is an absolute jet, that goal 😲 - thank you Freo 😂

Lever and TMac stood tall with May out and Petty moved fwd in the 2nd half

Congrats Jack on a great milestone win - I think the players were especially happy they got it done for him, he is the definition of a heart and soul player.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Just saw Clarry in rooms after game with his shirt off.

 

Am amazed that someone with his ‘conditioning’ could be playing so well.

[Adam The God 30,217]

That last quarter was outstanding, but I've been writing about this a bit - we either try to win an extremely aggressive clearance or we're happy to lose clearance and play the game more in our defensive half. It leaves space in behind for our forwards and makes them look better and us function so much better. I like it. It's potentially more nerve wracking, but the slingshot is absolutely on with our game now.

ANB, take a bow. What a game. Viney incredible in the first quarter and then a really even team performance after that. Well done, BBB and Lever's early intercept play was excellent. 

Up the redlegs and Goody must be an alright coach, I reckon. McQualter a great acquisition as well.

Dermie keeps prattling on about the expected score. what a goose.

Maybe he's still smarting from last weeks smashing.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

Viney and Gawn look a bit worse for wear. 

[Jaded No More 68,887]

Where are all the whingers who had a go at the club for retaining Tmac and BB 🙄

We are a genuinely good club and we have a genuinely good team, and we need to stop taking that for granted. 

A brilliant result considering we were definitely not always on top. We hung on during the momentum swings against us and were able to grind out a win in the last. 
Kudos to Clarry for lifting in the last. He was clearly hampered by his hand but when the game was on the line, he pushed through. 

Sensational game from ANB, and Windsor just shows elite glimpses. Knowing we got him from the Jackson compo picks makes losing Jackson hurt less.  Howes also quickly becoming a solid defender. 
 

Overall a fantastic performance and a big FU to all the pathetic disgruntled ex employees trying to bring our club down. Suck a big one!

ANB the most underrated player in the league right now..

I think the rest of the league are actually catching on to how good he is.

[DubDee 25,820]

they had 21 inside 50’s more than us

suck it Poweeeerrr

[Wizard of Koz 1,085]

I am pleased to say I was wrong about BB. Big time, but thats life.

I think he is is in the best form and fittest he has ever been in his time with us , including 21. Hope he stays fit.

We have another group of generational players coming through.

Gus used to joke that he could never get a 4 pack, let alone a 6 pack. Muscles don’t equal fitness.

hopefully all of demonland catches on too 

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

Certainly our gutsiest win for a long time. Only disappointment was conceding 89 points.

Without May and with Petty going forward in the last, that is a bloody good result considering the patches of absolute dominance Port had in the middle.

Less Steve May probably accounts for a bit of that.
