Jesus that's one of the worst softest efforts by Langdon. Not a good look at all.

Lever just refusing to defend tonight.

Old fumbles Neal-Bullen

I'll try and be positive. We're 13 points down and none of our stars have absolutely fired a shot. The upside is these guys can still go up a gear. C'mon guys!

How is this not on Yze? He's legitimately the midfield coach lol. Our midfield set up and connection between ruck and mids is absolutely appalling and has been for weeks. Greg Stafford copped it last year for our poor forward entries and set up and it's now about time Yze starts copping some heat.

Brayshaw getting shown up big time for fitness in the midfield. Blowing fairly hard and struggling to keep up with Butters. Much easier to get cheap kicks off half back. it's actually hurting my eyes trying to watch Tom McDonald football.

The only person that's always willing to stand up for a teammate this year is Brodie Grundy. Rest of our teammates are seriously soft when it comes to this stuff.

Get a new midfield coach please. Thanks for your time Yze, but it's utter disbelief that we can have an elite midfield/ ruckman combination and get absolutely slaughtered 11-0 clearences their way in that quarter.

What the actual [censored] was Clayton thinking? Absolutely dumb by him. Brayshaw paid zero respect to Butters in that last stoppages. Seriously, the mindset of these blokes.

Would be good if we could win a clearence once in our life.

Oliver completely [censored] himself with zero awareness. Getting ugly now

Another game, and another centre clearence slaughter. A grade midfield and 2 a grade ruckman. You couldn't script this [censored].

This is why you play an extra tall Defender Goody.. Burton was too tall for Hibberd.

Gawn 1 disposal, Petracca 3 disposals, Brayshaw 3 disposals, McDonald 1 disposal, Viney 3 disposals. Where the [censored] are our senior players??

They're out numbering us around the stoppages. So many more Port players then us We look completely sluggish

Wow

Looks like brayshaw is playing midfield tonight

Any ideas on subs?

Very interesting, It's probably why I'm not as confident tonight. Feel like their game is in a good spot where as I still find it difficult to get a gauge on ours especially as we've played some really poor sides of late.

Curtain would be good but our needs has to be a midfielder imo. I've been a Duursma supporter for a while but Ryley Sanders is a big watch for me and someone that switching more towards as each game goes by. Inside midfield bull who's got that real break away power and pace out of the stoppages. Really reminds me of Petracca/Dustin Martin with his body shape and physical strength. One to watch as he'll be around our selection of 5-7 hopefully.

Our NGA prospect Riak Andrew is playing his first Coates League game tonight for the Dandenong Stingrays. Named down back. He's coming up against Kynan Brown's Oakleigh Chargers. Kynan named as a rover.

I reckon Viney will run with Butters. One of the most informative players in thr competition. Their midfielder is the bigger worry for me. Butters, Rozee, Wines, Boak, Drew, Lycett are capable of matching it with ours.

Yeah I've had this same thought straight after that Richmond scratch match where he came on and fitted in seamlessly. I reckon they would have chosen Taj ahead of Laurie on the day. I do know for a fact Mark Williams rates Taj very high for his work ethic and professionalism. Makes me wonder whether they're happy to let Jordon seek other opponents with Taj in mind to tale over his spot?

Usually emergencies will fly out tonight if they're not needed.

Ok, slowly coming around to the Salem. Some of you blokes have talked me into it. Am thinking Brayshaw or Rivers playing as the filling in midfielder? Anyone really surprised Harmes was selected or not even in the extended 26 squad? Genuinely thought he was a shoe in. Also, good to see Taj Woewodin as an emergency. Just shows he's getting really close now.
