You might need to look at who they've played and who we've played. They've had a tougher draw for sure. Can't wait for King's Birthday, could be the biggest home n away crowd we've ever played in front of if weather is good to us. Hate saying it but they are a super impressive team and enjoyable to watch.

Didn't know where to put this, here is as good as any.....as good as last night was and yes we are on top of the ladder, a little reality check may be required. We have played one team in the current top 8.

Yeah it was flat as a tack last night. Zero atmosphere but I only lasted the first half due to a cracking headache and 2 bored kids. I have never left so early in fact stayed til final siren even in the Neeld era but I was struck by how many fans of both teams left at halftime, couldn't believe it actually.

Yeah right in front of me too. He waved in distress to the bench for an eternity holding his lower leg as soon as he hit the ground. Poor kid has played 7 games in 4 years mostly due to injury. Umps were oblivious too, played for a good 20 seconds after.

Correct, he didn't say a word at the time. But he is quoted the day after he signed with Freo that after meeting with them mid season he knew that was where he wanted to be. That does not sound genuinely undecided to most.

Rivers was cramping only seconds before that awful turnover to Baker. Was subbed out not long later. There were a lot of very sore boys from both teams in the last who could barely run. I'd be expecting several changes to rest some sore boys and reward some performances in the 2s with a short break coming up

You might want to watch it again. He had prior and ducked his head. Harsh, but right decision.

You must be taking the pizz surely? Umps had zero impact on the game and the scoreboard flattered us big time. We won the free kick count by the way 23-19.

55 tackles for a match in those conditions is damning. They had 71 and clearly wanted it more.

That was quite pathetic really. Credit to Bombers they dominated a flag favourite who appeared to roll over. Really disappointed. 2 very uncharacteristic defeats in 5 games so it's hard to know who we really are right now after looking unstoppable in the other 3.

Nice Bub....as good as Al Pacinos speech in Scent of a Woman

So difficult you forgot number 7 Bitter!

Harmes out for personal reasons. Tommo dropped

You've never heard of Jack Fitzpatrick I assume....

Zero weeks......because Patrick Cripps.

Bailey Laurie, Tommo, McVee and Chandler all getting games. Backline looks completely different without May.

Another game we were well and truly in control and looked unstoppable......then we stopped! Was Round 19 fyi.

Viney played didn't he? Have barely seen his name mentioned....can anyone enlighten?

Was at the final and watched us closely in the warm up and knew we were in trouble. Ben Brown, Lever, Trac, Gawn and Salem all looked lame. No doubt a touch of bathwater , but we were ripe for the picking. If we were not playing so hurt Brisbane would not have got near us.

I'm with you Mr Partridge! Kane Cornes was belittled by a lot on here after being the first to suggest he is gettable before anyone else raised it. Gee I hope he's wrong but you'd expect his mail from Port would be strong. Would hate to lose him, but if he helps us get a flag this year he can go with my blessings, we'd have to get a seriously good player in return.

Poor kid. 3 month hammy confirmed. Hope he recovers and has a good career up there but that is a serious injury.

Jack Watts went to Brighton Grammar....oh heck hang on!

Saty in a training thread....as rare as a Mr snuffleupagus appearance in Sesame Street!! Don't be a stranger!

Pretty sure Jordan Lewis said exactly this 2 years ago or so.
