Cassiew

Just got back. Was lucky to have a friend drive me home. I thought Hawks dominated us t he first few minutes. Had to work hard to fight back. I could see we were tiring like the Gold Coast game. I don’t think we could have held them off much longer. I’m only more convinced than ever that Brown should ever play in the VFL again. Thought we ran out of legs towards the end, but no Dogga, Petty, Kozzie, Sparrow, Bullen or Goodwin, I think we can Take it as a hard-earned well-deserved win

A win against Richmond is always welcomed. Still, I can’t believe how inaccurate we were. We could barely get past them. How many intercept mark did they take in our forward 50? Oliver, Bowey, May, Tracc all good. all we need to do it work on our forward line and we’ll smash the hawks

Our forward line has been atrocious

Have to disagree there. He barely touched him. I definitely did not see that as a push

Not sexist at all. She’s has no clue about how the game is played. By her rationale anyone taking a spekkie could be pinged for “in the back.”

Had some friends over last night to watch the game. Really enjoyed it. A bit slow to start, but really solid in the later part. Petty was really good in the first quarter. Petracca was a return to form. Gawn, Harmes, Bowey, Kozzie all great. One thing that did bother me, was that umpire. She seems to have no clue how the games played and likes to hear the sound of her own voice. I think she’s the worst one out there, and yes, I’m female myself, before you call me a sexist

In fact us and Collingwood (puke) were the only teams to win it more than 3 times in a row, I think

🥱

Most consecutive minor premierships (6) 1955-1960

They were beaten by the better team. There’s no other way to say that. Wasn’t expecting to win, but was expecting a better show. Sad they couldn’t emulate the mens

Luckily we made the finals in 2018 or it would have been the first decade since the 70’s where we failed to play in September

2010/2019

That is correct

I meant the 2011’s but if I write that everyone would think I meant 2011, the year 😁

The 2000 and teens were the first decade with no wooden spoons since the 1940’s

Damn, I wanted them to go goalless for three quarters. How bad would it be to be a Port supporter right now? I hope they win the wooden spoon this year. Only team without one so far. Love how they celebrated like it was a premiership when they finally kicked a goal.

So over weekday games. I have to get up early for my swim and this really stuffs me up ☹️

Our first interstate finals win.

Not one of our best wins. Essendon we’re pretty bad and we failed to capitalise on it. Very poor kicking. On the plus side, Brayshaw and Oliver were great. Gawn had a much better game and marked well. Bowey is getting better and better. It was good that they were able to come back when the game was slipping away. I think they need to improve on kicking for next week. Essendon fans are worse than West Coast with their booing every time any other team than them touched the ball. Apart from that, I’m happy. We won. 😁

No, I wasn’t at the game. All I kept hearing her say was “play on.” It’s like she didn’t know what she was doing. Kozzie didn’t hold his mark, but neither did Ablett. Shaun Smith already dislodged it as mark of the century the next year anyway

Wow we were pushed. Don’t think we were bad, but Gold Coast were really good tonight. Hope this is just early season jitters. Petracca was phenomenal. Jackson, also really good. Gawn had a shocker though, couldn’t mark to save himself. Spargo was solid as was Bowey. Was is just me or did that umpire just loved saying “play on” every times a player took a mark?

Also being told by the club “not to worry about the seat number, as you can sit anywhere”. Then being told by someone that we’re in their seats

Well, that was an experience, seeing the flag unfurled for the first time since 1965. Was great to see Barassi come out for it. It was a great game. Very similar to the grand final. It as hard watching Bulldogs dominate the 2nd quarter. Although we didn’t get much back, the fact that we’d stemmed their effort was encouraging. It was great to see Max’s great goal pull us further in front. Having said that, I’m never doing a Wednesday game again. Didn’t get back until almost 12. Feeling exhausted now at work. Might have to go home early. All the nieces/nephews are having the day off school.

Been DYING to wear my premiership gurnsey to a game. Really don’t want to get rained on though

I feel for you. My uncle (dad’s brother) passed away after the 2021 grand final. He was terminally ill and we all knew it’d be his last grand final. Unlike you we were lucky in that be actually saw it
