Gutted at the result but think the defence did well and midfield were well on top. Forward conversion was missing but all in all a good performance. It was a good effort, the backline held up much better against their talls especially considering the outs. If we had played Preuss the result would be different.

Dockers smashing Norf at the moment, they’re looking a lot cleaner with their ball movement and making smarter decisions. If they can maintain this form you’d think Hogan might bring them close to the 8

While yesterday was disheartening (to say the least), it could be worse, GWS are taking a chainsaw to Essendon’s season right now. Their performance today is Neeldesque

Won’t make finals playing like this never mind flags. Concede the four points today and look at switching things around. Stupid move bringing in Preuss if he wasn’t going to be played, bad mistake from coaching panel

For all their dominance that quarter there’s less than a kick in it. When we went missing last year and 2017 we had big tallies kicked on us and were too far back to get in the game. A rest, tactical reset and hopefully we’ll be back in it again in Q3. They spent some petrol tickets catching up with us so hopefully we can build into it again

I’ve no doubt Jack was up to similar hi jinks when he was with us but it seems Port have something of a culture problem right now. You’ve the Jack Watts stories, Sam Powell-Peper and his two highly publicised incidents, and there are rumours on their board that Dixon came back out of shape and Rockliff is having attitude problems. Would not be one bit surprised to see them drop sharply down the ladder this season

The Dockers released an ‘Jesse Hogan membership cards’ email to supporters today, perhaps time to close this thread.

The kid is gonna have a big shock to his system. He’s going to be a senior player over here, ‘Jonno’ retired this year, Sandilands on his last legs, Mundy & Ballantyne likely to be out too. Neale wanted out, and as their new star KPF there’ll be a lot of pressure on Jesse to provide leadership on field especially if, as expected, the Dockers are down the bottom again. One thing’s for sure there’ll be a heap more pressure on him to perform than there has been at the MFC this past couple of years.

Maybe it’s an ego thing? At Freo he would be a marquee player, best paid on the list and set up for life post-career. That’s leaving aside the other commercial opportunities he’s likely to get as face of the club. Freo will be rebuilding for a few years at least, and barring Fyfe & Walters, the players on their list would not be very highly paid, they’ve more space in the salary cap than we’re likely to have especially if Petracca, Gus & Oliver continue their upward trajectories and demand larger contracts in 2-3 years time. I also believe there would be less pressure on him, odd as that may sound; his potential team mates can’t hold a candle to him in talent terms, and their dysfunctional midfield will likely be blamed if he fails to eclipse his goal-scoring achievements at the MFC.

So no Neale, no Hogan, Taberner & McCarthy leading their forward line again and RTB sitting in the coach box. No wonder their membership renewal emails are telling current members there are plenty of seats to upgrade to, they will be haemorrhaging members after the season they’ve just had, this debacle and WCE winning the flag. Absolute disaster for that club.

The bloke spends his spare time on the turps with bikies, hardly the type to bring to our club whatever his undoubted talent. He’s out of chances, will be playing WAFL next year. https://thewest.com.au/news/crime/dockers-star-harley-bennell-defends-bikie-associates-who-brutally-bashed-father-in-2016-ng-b88961342z

Lucky them, some of us live here and will be copping this for years

When do the members allocation tickets go up, 9am AEST Monday?

When all is said and done it’s our city....

Ffs misses will kill us by the end of this, should be 7-8 up.
