Get convinced. How many times did they take off from the backline and run it forward, without us touching the ball, or getting near the ball carrier? Do agree though there was a lack of system and work rate.

And here is the post I have been waiting to see. For those on here who think pace is not a problem, you are just so wrong. The other thing that hurts us is our decision making. We kick to packs and then don't have a loose man at the outside. We kick to player who have two on them. We kick to players who are behind their man. We still lack disposal skill. Look at Port's kick outs, they find a man, we never did. Given we were out of form and possibly not as fit as others, the arrogance of playing Viney and Jones underdone and maybe injured, was simply breathtaking. We played 2 short today.

When he was standing behind his man.

Thanks Dazzle I feel like I am the only one who sees our lack of pace. They just run it down the ground unchallenged. We are slow and still haven’t fixed up our skill problems. How many times have we kicked it or handballed straight to them.

Depends on the agenda. May is a bad boy and he touched the jaw.

Looks like I was wrong on Paddy Rider not playing.

Agree.

Wrong.

Break out the banana bread, the footy season is nearly here.

Still think Ryder won’t play, as they have Lycett, Westhoff and Marshall named.

Read my post, the one that Pro Dee responded to.

I think the match tonight will be much closer as the Blues have improved.

I am worried about our pace. Port will inject a lot of it this week. I hope they don't run us off our legs. We will need to win contested ball and not turn it over and apply plenty of pressure if they have it, to force a turnover possibly from the new boys.

But their pace doesn't. They will inject a lot of pace into the side. I hope they don't run us off our feet.

What, now we are discussing fixed horse races?

Round 1 and once again we have a long injury list.

I am but you have probably now read it above. Good player but struggles to get on the park.

He won't be our early season x factor.

29 degrees Saturday and then thunderstorms. Looking like a big day.

I was pretty stunned at that comment from an experienced Journo. He also said that Jesse was being spoken about in Perth in the same way as Cousins is. That is an amazing statement. Would be shocked if there are not some repercussions over those two statements by Ralph.

You can worry.

He looked lethal in that exhausting workout. He must have bent over at least 4 times to pick up the ball off the ground. Could he be put through any more thorough physical test of his injured cheekbone? Surely not. My guess is he will miss and they are trying to throw us off the track with selection.

You mean the Thawks, the Tassie Hawks.

Sincere condolences to all Ian's family and friends. A fine Demon. R.I.P.

Now that is a nice video.
