Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

Do I not know what belies mean? This looks exactly what 16 v 19 should look like

11 tackles is a fair effort

Certainly do and am enjoying the game. A tight competitive contest with most blokes giving it a real go.

[Demon Jack 6,439]

Interesting to see that Fraser Rosman is currently lining up for Port Melbourne.

Schache - good, but could easily be better, not screaming afl 

Fullarton - Schache with more speed but less skill

Jeffo - stats aren’t there but looked faster and more willing, not his worst game. No coordination going forward 

KFW - probably the worst, but geez he barely plays. Such a waste of time him turning up 

Willy V - slowed a bit in q2 and did a few too many ruckman things, doesn’t kick as well as he thinks.

Laurie - cracking in hard but he can’t break in to space and the missed tackles are killers

Hunter - a mile off

Tomlinson - lifted but still meh

Turner - reading it beautifully  and getting hands on it, rusty but promising 

Adams - gets spun around too easily, gets caught flat footed with the ball and bangs it to no one.

AMW - willing tackler, competes well, decision making/ball use shaky 

Sesto - good when he finds the ball, just doesn’t find enough

Kynan Brown - willing, able 

[demon3165 2,346]

This is embarrassing for so called backup AFL players.

[Demon Dynasty 16,371]

HTB against Curry every day there.

[Demon Dynasty 16,371]

Jeffo really needs to get more involved.  I may have missed a few but barely sighted for mine

[Demon Dynasty 16,371]

I know he's had a shoulder issue but Ollie's run past the ball quite a bit today and / or just sits back ball watching.

[Deelectable 388]

Laurie showing plenty.     
Fullarton has promise for the near future.      
Verrall definitely in time.     
Turner not bad for a first up run.   
Tomlinson looks disinterested and confidence shot. Understandable on both counts.  
Grave doubts about Jefferson.    
Put a line through Sestan.    
Are they having a laugh by playing KFW?

Why does this commentator scream in to the mic at every shot at goal? Someone fix him. Please. It’s been going on for years

Moniz is a forward every day of the week.  Madness trying to make him into something he isn't imv.

Will he learn some defensive aspects...maybe.  But in the course of doing so he might also lose some of his crumbing/ offensive flair, skill and intuition.

He is the worst... and often louder for anyone non-Casey

You don’t lose skills in a few weeks and we have no small defensive depth, but the moment we have any defenders back he needs to go forward again. 

[Demon Dynasty 16,371]

Brown having a pretty good day

[Nascent 7,782]

Turner up forward is an interesting move

His pace is noticeable at this level.

I get that but its not like he's going to be the difference down back.  He might up forward and in the mean time has no chance to score and possibly stick his hand up for a berth at senior level either.

What a waste.

Hunter can play his role from here surely

Also very little pressure when the ball hits the deck inside 50.  You just had Turner come all the way from HB after being involved in the first part of the chain there.... then having to put a 3rd effort in to try and pressure loose Port players inside 50.

Ridiculous

Verrall’s mastered the Gawn move (hit it straight to the opposition mids)

Hasn't looked out of place either, taken some marks up the wing and used his body well.

Plus he he's a good pack mark

Getting beaten purely by the Port’s strong bodies ability to get hands out whilst being tackled. And umpires giving them a ridiculous amount of leeway to do so
