Game Day - Port Adelaide v Melbourne

[melbournemartin 0]

Brogan's kicking is keeping Fergeson's career alive.

Wheatley is just about the only player, who is playing for his career, that has actually shown something this year. Bizzell has been serviceable and will probably be kept for depth but hasn't been able to push into the best 22 like Wheatley has.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

White has really lifted, as usual though we have struggled to hit a target in and around the F50

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Robbo with his second from a nice pass from buckley, mclean should of had a free earlier from his tackle, the gut took him on and after ages finally kicked it, robbo off, looked proppy after earlier tackle.

Cornes kicks his 4th.

Much better quarter so far. Hopefully we can actually have a solid attempt at snatching the lead, not just hanging in there and playing out time like against Brisbane.

What annoys me is if we played like this from the start we'd be right in the game. I know that Port has dropped off but that's largely because we have started to actually apply a bit of pressure. Nathan Brown seems to be doing a bit.

Another open goal...great.

We work so hard for a goal and then they just torp it long and run into an open goal.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

we have been inside 50, 13 to 7 and still have kicked the same score this quarter. go figure!

[Deeman 1,494]

Are we on the park yet?

FFS. It's nearly an hour into the game. Is someone going to answer this important question!!!

Jones passes to Newton who will kick from 45.

4 inside 50s for Jones.

If he doesn't get a rising star nomination then...[censored]

NEWTON SCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES (I didn't actually think he could kick it that far)

[Waltham33 475]

Good kick Juice

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Newton goals after great work from jones.

3. C.Cornes

2. N.Jones

1. P.Burgoyne

[joeboy 3,163]

Only 3 players turned up in the first half : White , Godfrey , and Jones

[CHAMP 347]

A positive: Godfrey has kept S.Burgoyne to six touches and hit Robbo lace-out off his right foot.

A negative: the Old Skipper has had his hands on the pill only once.

Another positive: contrary to the scoreline the Dees won the I-50s 30/26.

Another negative: the Skipper-in-Waiting has had one kick.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Jones, White, Wheatley, Newton (for what time he has been on), sylvia (mainly first half) have been good,

green in patches

mclean got better second half

junior not overly effective

brown and bate have got a few touches but not very effective, brown needs to keep his feet. the other thing is burgoyne has been more effective than him.

neitz has competed ok but done nothing

bruce looks like he has missed a few games,

Holland not too bad

Bell has done ok but some disposals average

fergs, miller no good

frawley, ward unsited

moloney has not had a influence.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Yep godders has done well again on s burgoyne

[Jaded No More 68,867]

They dropped Carroll and PJ, and as I suspected, we've loaded our forward line because we have too many immobile talls. Pathetic pre-match selection.

Miller and Holland as back-up ruckmen when we have two perfectly fit ruckmen at Sandy. Logic?

Carroll in the VFL when our backline is getting murdered. Logic?

Dunn and CJ in the VFL when we can't hit a target. Logic?

The scoreline flatters us. We deserve to be 10 goals behind the way we're playing.

Jones, Newton and the return of Belly the only highlights. Godfrey doing a good job too.

P.S.- NEITA IS NOT FIT. DON'T PLAY HIM!!!!

Certainly leaves us with a few questions over the selections made for today, the only conclusion i can come to is that we made selections based on bolstering Zebra's and the increasing the opportunity of have having a four peat!

[censored] start again.

[Waltham33 475]

Yes, this could get ugly quickly again. Chad Cornes again
