agree with this 100%, we only look slow and get cut up on the outside when we are losing the contested possesion battle

Its obvious the team is well behind in conditioning prepared to some others, the boys couldn't get out of first gear after quarter time we looked absolutely gassed. Few more weeks of pain could be coming until we get match hardened...

It’s quite comical how bad we’ve been today!

+ thanks tribunal we knew Westoff would destroy us

Still don’t know why you’d recruit Preuss and not use him against a team with 2 ruckmen

This is frustrating but not a huge shock we had a hugely interrupted preseason...Port missed the 8 been training their butts off for a month longer

Don’t mind this at all, Port have a ton of youth and pace in their side, Lewis would be the slowest man on the field could get exposed badly

Reports that Ryder has been knocked around by his injury, lost weight because he hasn't been able to eat properly etc....so even if he does play he's not going to be 100% by the sound of it

Decent looking side, more experienced and bigger bodies than Port (we also don’t have kings of flakiness Watts and Motlop)...should win my main concern is Jones Melksham and Viney are a bit underdone.

If we dont play Preuss when the oppo have 2 genuine rucks, you wonder if we'll ever play him at all (injury to Max notwithstanding)

The pace will only be an issue if they play well enough to take advantage of it though. Plus they have a lot of young players in, they will get tired as the game goes on.

Port don't have anything like the depth of midfield we do especially with Wines out so hopefully we can wear them down in the contest and dominate from centre bounces. I agree it will be a worry if its a fast transition game because that's where we are most vulnerable.

Real shame for Vanders hope it is a fairly minor issue, but given his history doesn’t sound promising

Still love Hoges, he would be a great player for us had he stayed but toxic mates in Perth and cesspool culture at Freo have already screwed him up ("Floss" Lyon what a joke of a coach)....its a great shame it's turning bad for him hope he gets the proper support he needs.

Four 1st gamers, we will have a big edge in experience at least

Now thats a coach the players truly love! Haha Todd at the end that was gold

Great player and ambassador for the football club...my 7yo daughter loves him and hes always happy to pose for a photo with her etc

Sounds bad I sure hope not...seems his body struggles to cope with the rigors of league football

Talking about Howe...

Back home with all his dropkick mates who aren’t professional footballers encouraging him to get on the p*ss.....for a guy with mental health issues probably not the best environment

He is a good player and I always thought we'd miss his intercept marking in the backline (he was never consistent enough as a forward). When Lever comes back fully fit we have his equivalent anyway.

Thanks Diamond_Jim also looks like it might work through the edge browser on the XB1 - hopefully saved me $100 on yet another electronic device I dont really need!

Has any tried streaming Kayo through a chromecast? My Samsung doesnt have a native app and despite also owning a PS4 and Xbox it also isn't available on either of those! So ipad -> chromecast might be the best option....

I might be wrong but reports at the time said he got less than we were offering him to stay, and certainly less than Gold Coast had on the table. He loved Bucks and maybe didn't see eye to eye with Roos I believe that's why he went to the filth.

nuts.
