BDA

They don't bring 11k to the MGC hence my surprise. i suppose the locals head along which bumps up the crowd.

Looks like a full house in Ballarat. I didn't think the dogs fans would travel.

Paul Curtis with a brilliant goal for North. That was special.

Bring BB back in. No point waiting. I think JVR's indiscipline was due to frustration at his lack of impact. Give him a few weeks at Casey to refocus. I'm not very confident about TMac but maybe he'll be better with a game under his belt. He did kick 2 goals. Sparrow to replace JJ.

A slight exaggeration here bb. Have you forgotten the Neeld era?

We lost by 4 points in hostile territory, to a top 4 contender that played as well as they can (albeit with injured players to come back in). We have plenty of improvement in us. It's not a bad loss compared to Brissy and Essendon. Against Essendon in particular we were putrid. We've responded well to defeats so i expect to get back to winning ways against Freo. We'll beat Carlton as well. Pies game massive. We have to bring our A game. If they get off the hook they'll slaughter us. Can't leave it to Clarry and Trac. Everyone will have to put their shoulder to the wheel. We can't carry Langdon, ANB, Kossie, Chin in their current form. They have to lift.

I think he's been great. Love his dash and dare. Great kick. He does alternate regularly between the sublime and the ridiculous though.

We only lost by 4 points. We’ve plenty of room to improve. I don’t have to much more to add to what has already been said other than the constant fumbles and lack of composure drive me nuts. Giving me high blood pressure. We were pressured last night for sure, but the ball handling was atrocious. Please Chocco, sort this [censored] out.

Chocco needs to work on our ball handling skills. The amount of fumbling we do is ridiculous.

We lost it. We won it. We lost it again. Credit to Port. They’re a very good team. Butters had a great game Disappointing last quarter. We should have seen it home. Salem very good on his return. Great to have him back. Rivers fantastic as well. I hate BT with a passion. Dust ourselves down and go against Freo next week. Go Dees

Trac had more time there

One more big effort Dees. come on

Van Rooyen is a total liability now. Lost all composure. Will cost us the game

Clutch kick TMac My heart under serious pressure.

Give the handball for [censored] sake TMac

BT is the absolute worst

Fumbles have returned Next goal huge

Dumb Van Rooyen. Can;t be doing that We need to lift again

Lingers is a liability

Trac Clarry and Rivers brilliant that quarter We're the best 4th quarter team in the league. We'll see this game home from here. come on Dees. you got this.

Port crowd are feral. We're tearing you apart. haha

Trac and Clarry putting on a clinic. Magnificent quarter for them both

Can someone please belt Powell Pepper

How sharp has Salem been first game back. hasn't put a foot wrong.

Kossie you little champ We're back baby
