Port will be without Motlop and Marshall. tests for Bonner and Lycett. Burton unlikely McKenzie should come back in

from AFL injury report. VNB 1 week vandenBerg is progressing well after cheekbone surgery last week and could return for Wednesday week's game against Adelaide. The only other concern was defender Neville Jetta, but he passed a concussion test during Sunday night's loss to Brisbane.

The umpires didn't give us a thing all day

Overall I was happy with our second half and especially the last quarter. 3 goals to nil. we showed we have grown a lot from last year. We are structured up a lot better behind the ball. A lot to like. the second quarter was the difference when the lions got on top

Our defence was good, really stood up in the 2nd Q especially. Probably Jetta the only under pressure Bennell, Jetta, Brayshaw, Jackson all under pressure. Tom McDonald should come in. Jackson was good in the first but then went missing

Harsh on Fristch. Flew at everything. 6 touches , 4 score involvements, 2 goals. very limited opportunities after quarter time

Gees Harmes was poor tonight, especially late. fumbles and poor decisions. expected a lot better from him

Viney Oliver Gawn May Traca Langdon

Bennell kicks a goal from 15 and we win. Jesus

I want to have Vineys next baby bog for us

Bennell just cannot miss that shot from 15m under no pressure. we would only have been one goal down. Massive game changing error

Glad we have the HT break to regroup. I reckon we show something this quarter. Still probably lose we we cant roll over Midfield got truely smashed that quarter

You CANNOT be serious!!!

Anyone have any idea what the weather is like up on the Gold Coast today??

Is this get game day thread or the weather channel?? ?

Port missing Burton and McKenzie at the back. mans perhaps Motlop

No evidence to show we will be able to beat Brisbane away. We have hit some form so it will be interesting to see where we are at. I suspect a close game at times but the bears will be too good and win by 2-3 goals our season is far from over if we lose. North and crows to come shortly after

Maybe we got too excited last week? Hawks are rubbish. guess we’ll find out tomorrow night

Hardwick out coaching Leon at the moment. GWS just can’t get it past the centre. 111 disposals and only 9 inside 50s. tigers 90 disposals and 24 inside 50s

Playing your best fit team is by far the best approach. if players don’t pull up then they rest. But planning for rests is fraught with risk

If wet I’d keep Jackson in over T Mac. mcdonald is poor below his knees.

On the extended bench. I like Gus but he is an enigma. He is worth persevering with. He is trying hard, puts his body on the line. Hopefully just going through a maturing phase.

For T Mac or just having Weed as lone fwd you reckon?

Gawn will be break ‘big O’ in two

Dogs giants blues hawks port bombers WC bears csts hoping the Suns/crows/Freo can cause some upsets however!! Not to mention the demons
