What’s all this - we could have won by 20 goals nonsense? They defended and put most behind the ball in the first half. We were rock solid with our defensive structure and they couldn’t get through. sure 60 point win would have been nicer but beating a two time prelim team away and at no point the game being in any danger is fine with me. Goody says we build from defence. % don’t matter when you are 20-2 come the end of the season!

Well he has played 150 more games than Weed so you’d expect that. you hear key forwards talk and it takes years to learn this stuff I reckon Weed needs more experience and regular games to be a solid player. Maybe he’ll end up moving to get that

Worst Game Ever

Pubs in Richmond very quiet. Anyone at a pub with good atmosphere??

CMON YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!!

The mega deal for Grundy worked so well why not again for Moore culture is [censored] at the pies. Need to pay overs to keep players. They dug their own grave with handling of Treloar

Might be! I still think we’ll win. Guess I’m worries my Trac’s knee but not much point in me worrying!

Sarcasm guys. someone said we’re not taking him there to rest him. But we have emergencies for the very reason of last minute issues coming up Trac’s knee could blow up off a 6 day break. No point pushing him for this game. Unless he is 100% right

But we are taking emergencies. Wonder why that is?

Wouldn’t be surprised to hear Trac a late out and Dunstan or Howes in

Lions will crush the Cats, too much run and talent man I want the Cats to slide right off a cliff

Agreed. I am tipping Giants, Freo are up and down. Tigers absolutely have a good chance and with Carlton limping over the line against the Hawks, GC have a good chance at home

This will be over at quarter time. Port are finished. Ken will sacked by round 7 The Weed will do some wacking

Lever and May being back together just makes me relax and generally feel good

game tomorrow mate, so YES. 6:20

I agree with LVDV, i don't reckon Hibberd is a tall. Smith can play on talls and smalls. but not a huge difference overall. Gus has been great in the backline so I wouldn't be in a rush to move him either May, Lever, Bowey Hunt, Smith, Rivers is a good mix imo and would give us more run than keeping tomoo in with them.

Weed will probable have a quiet game with Brown back. Then we’ll see people saying he should be dropped. let’s give him a few weeks and see what he can do.

AFL.com said Gray should be available by tomorrow. can he confirmed out?

Good points but with Port's fwd line being smallish and no Dixon, I reckon May, Tommo, Lever and Smith is too tall

Port have Gray and Clurey back but won't have Dixon or probably Durrsma Aliir Aliir Ankle 2-3 weeks Tom Clurey Knee Test Charlie Dixon Ankle TBC Xavier Duursma Neck Test Orazio Fantasia Knee 6-8 weeks Robbie Gray H&S Protocols TBC Sam Skinner Ankle Test Gray was close to returning from a knee injury last week only to enter the health and safety protocols and should be out in time for Thursday night's game to be considered for selection, although it's hardly ideal preparation for the veteran. Key defender Skinner was subbed out in the Showdown with an ankle sprain but has been cleared of serious injury and is expected to be available. Clurey has shot into calculations after a minor off-season knee surgery, while Duursma picked up a neck injury playing in the SANFL on the weekend. Spearhead Dixon suffered a setback in his return from ankle surgery and will miss an "extended period". – Ben Somerford

IN - Lever, Ben Brown OUT - Tomlinson, McDonald the 22 is starting to shape up nicely!

Wasn’t thinking about being clever. More looking after our star’s knee that has persistent swelling after games. The occasional missed game after short breaks might prolong his career. I ain’t a doctor or nuthin though so, just a random unqualified thought

True, but on the other hand Hibberd gives better run off half back and is a better 1:1 defender imo. Also I’d take His kicking over Smith tough call

The pessimist in me thinks they are a chance but they already tried to drop players to generate a response and then they choke like that against the crows? they are done I reckon
