Tyson was better off playing a full game at Casey to gain some match fitness not as the sub.. And no Brayshaw will not be rested this week. I dare say they will be managing his workloads during the weeks anyway

Yeah I'm not really sure why Roos went down this path of blaming the players. Surely he could have sent the runner out and said to player X man up Oxley or have sent Cross who wasn't doing a bad job as a spare man himself down to Oxley.. Don't think it was a good idea from Roos to distance himself from the players and pass the blame. Would have been better saying something along the lines of, "the players were instructed to do X,Y, Z but we as a coaching group didnt react quicker enough either"

Just what we wanted.. Pies get carried away with this win, we catch them off guard next monday

Here we go collingwood putting a stinker in before they play us.. Just like sydney, hawthorn and port adelaide did

Over the AFL season already.. How long left to the season ? Although I'll just go from one fustration to the next lol. Yeah interesting how the Petersen situation turns out, neither side won't to budge.

I have slightly calmed down after yesterday to take a better perspective on things.. I can't be bothered looking back through the past few years but I guarentee if you look at the Giants & GC over the past few years there would be numerous games where they were 4-5 goals up and went on to lose... Obviously we have a bit more experience in the side but we are coming from just as far back, if not further due to how many high end picks they had. This isn't a 2 second turn around, if in 12 months time we are getting the same results I would be concerned.. We have gone from the laughing stock of the comp under Neeld to now getting in winnable position but just not sure how to win... It will come

Let's look at the positives.. If we had won today we would never win 3 in a row so this means we are a better chance to beat collingwood on QB....

6. Garland 5. Brayshaw 4. Hogan 3. Cross 2. Grimes 1. Pedersen

I'm flat as [censored].. Still don't know why I allow this club to make me feel like this. The past for years I wouldn't get down on a loss like today because it was expected but I went into this game with hope, hope that this club for the first time in God knows could put 2 wins meaningful wins together.. 4 goals up and I'm thinking "[censored] how goods this, we'll be playing in the QB clash against the pies for a potential shot of been in the 8!!!" Then reality set in and the realization we are still so far off it as a football club...

I'm just completely and utterly fustrated by this team.. How can we be 4 goals up and playing so well yet lose by 10 goals ? We should have been 6-7 goals up half way through the 2nd quarter. Lynden Dunn was atrocious today, his idiotic torp kick in which went straight back over his head zapped out momentum then gave away that stupid free kick to Schulz minutes later. Really not sure what's wrong with Nathan Jones 11 touches in the opening term then rarely sighted, he needed to stand up when Port were running hot, as did Dunn, Vince, Lumumba, Cross as senior players, we couldn't touch the ball. Like I said in the match day thread, coaching staff have a lot to answer for the side they picked. Went in too tall and one or two mids short.

The coaching staff/match comittee have a lot to answer for... You drop 2 midfielders in Newtown & Riley and bring one defender and one midfielder in. So we are a side already low on midfield options but you go one midfielder short the following week. Fitzpatrick, there was never a match up for him once Ryder pulled out.. Why play him ? Just because he had a good game last week! You need to pick a side that suits the situation. Why Fitzpatrick wa then not subbed out of the game is even more baffling.. Port have run us off our feet. Wouldn't have taken a brain surgeon to realise that would have happened. Also only one of Bail or M.Jones can play, Jones has done a good job on Pittard but we're playing with 2 less offensive players when those two are playing a defensive forward role

It's the GWS game all over... [censored] pathetic. Our inability to stop a side when they have a run on is a real concern, no players put their hand up and stop it. Why was Jetta subbed out ? Obviously managing his minutes but [censored] me, fitzy can not move out there. Why he was picked in the first place once Ryder was out is moronic

Dumb handbel by vandenberg at half forward... This is so [censored] fustrating.. I'm so fuckkng angry

Take the [censored] ball out Nathan jones FFS

The amount of times we work hard for a goal and then give one up within minutes is ridiculous... This games over The worst thing about kicking a goal is we can't win a clearance so it results in a direct forward entry for port

If port get the next goals it's game over

I fear the damage is done... Port were all over the shop, playing conservative footy, no confidence.. All turned in that 10 minutes, can't see us getting back into the game now Port have their tails up

Pittard- M.Jones direct opponent 3 touches...

FFS... Any chance some of our more experienced players stop the rot

I feel the tide turning

Give the torp kick in a rest Dunn gees

Garlett 2+ goals & dees to win @ $4.00 is enticing also

Got to admit I absolutely detested this bloke at the start.. Could not stand him, but the last 12 months his has fast become one of my favorite players. His work rate and willingness to get to contest after contest is admirable to watch. Even when his caught out of position he always makes a contest, he is everything Chris Dawes isn't. Good on him, not the most gifted footballer but he makes up for it in work ethic

The time has come for us to put back to back wins together... We shouldn't under estimate the confidence we bring into this game compared to the Power, makes a big difference.

Where are the Boak rumours coming from ? Would be a nice out if he is
