Another thing that was clear to me, JV and AVB are too slow to try and duck and weave around opposition players. Sparrow comes in for one of them and Harmes replaces the other. Harmes is a better tagger and Sparrow has more upside than either

There is one closed skill in football, set shot goal kicking. The one that is next closest to a closed skill is Max’s taps from centre bounce. I say it’s close to being a closed skill, because on the most part he is so dominant in his tap, that is very nearly a closed skill and unaffected by the opposition ruck. Interestingly, we are really poor at both areas. We haven’t kicked more goals than behinds for 7 weeks now. And the amount of times Max’s taps are going into a space surrounded by 3 opposition mids is mind boggling. If both of these things improve, we start smashing teams. The problem is, THEY ARE NOT IMPROVING!!! I want to know why not, because to continue down the current path in this area is to ignore and squander two potential advantages for us

It’s now 7 weeks since we kicked more goals than behinds in a game

Why don’t we stick a tall bloke in the goal square when Spargo’s going for goal from 50 out???

CAN VINEY PLEEEEEAAAASE KICK IT TO ONE OF OUR PLAYERS INSIDE 50!

13 scoring shots to 19. 1 point the difference. there’s the problem….. again!

Wow I thought the standard of AFL umpiring was at an all time low, then this last 5mins occurred!!!!

Just FYI, round 12 against Brisbane was the last time we kicked more goals than behinds in a game. 6 WEEKS AGO!

No team other than Melbourne has lost to any team by over 180 points and we've managed to do it twice ?

on what planet, in which dimension and in what alternate reality did we manage to lose to Adelaide????

4 goals 10 behinds in the second half

Been 5 weeks since we kicked more goals than behinds in a game

Port supporters must have lost their voices in the 3rd quarter. Eerily quiet now

Very lucky George dropped a sitter

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Port player wraps his arm over Salem’s neck, ump pays free, crowd booos???!

Wow Tom, that’s one way to do it! not sure if the coach would recommend it but hey, take what you can get!!!

Burning ourselves again 1 goal 5 this quarter

Why when we have players one on one inside 50 do we ignore them, but when half the team are in a bunch inside 50 do we kick it too them?

Player runs right then kicks left, what a shock. Perhaps if they run straight at the goal when talking a set shot accuracy may improve

Why are all our tall forwards standing within 10m of each other all the time???

How the [censored] was that not dropping the ball!!!

Agree whole heartedly. but just to be fair, 13 guys in the team (not including medi sub) have had the ball less than BB

3 times that half a port player dropped the ball in the tackle and got awarded a free for holding the man

Didn’t the guy tackle him after the ump blew the whistle? If so, it’s 50
