Picketts like a deer in the headlights first gamer

Glad we rushed petty back when we had an in form thommo

Umps really looking to get themselves involved tonight

Don't blame him. Imagine playing to packed stadiums every week then walking into that dump of a half Auskick sized ground

Well done Smithy made up for the earlier one. They've fired their shot. We are in this

Cameron off get petty down there

Skills deplorable

Port have 16 days between games. We got 10 for our bye . We always seem to get screwed by the fixture

They are and now teams will put more time into studying what they do and how to beat them. Let's see how they go in the 2nd half of the year. I'll happily play then anywhere and be confident we would win

Gees forgot it was a Thursday, so we get stiffed again with no proper bye two years in a row. Collingwood of course get the sunday game and an extra 3 days off

Possibly, I think it's more mental than anything and it's possible we where probably too focused on it after the Carlton game. Chocos Collingwood speaker drill, players being really aware they need to take chances, and after we missed the first few it puts more pressure on the next goalkicker.. Goalkicking should be an automatic action that requires little thought yet continues to be an issue for many AFL players.

Exactly. The last 2 premiership teams on a Friday night playing at the rubbish ground. Totally unfair we have to play there every year without fail.

I'd back him to be able to play the role.

Also like a please explain in players leaving the ground for the blood rule. Cameron couldn't have gone slower if he tried, twice

After conceding the first 3 goals , we switched on and strangled them. Really worked ourselves in every contest. Bring that to every game and we'll be right in it at the business end this year

Guarding grass again in defence

Fought back well after watching Collingwood run around for the first 10 minutes. Goal kicking is killing us though

I'm exactly the same. Sunday footy show the only one I watch which has some good analysis sometimes, sometimes some laughs but to much Tony Jones and the panel trying to wind up Tony Jones alot of the time.

Rough for Tom . Hopefully back to build some fitness and form 4-6 weeks out from finals. Could be required depending on injury and or form . He has been unlucky the past 2 years. In other news clarry has an infected blister

Salem, bowey, Brayshaw, Langdon , jvr , lever found some form was positive Other than that was not a great watch.

Max kicking at goal is embarrassing

Thought the same On the replay Chandler wasn't in his field of vision

Of course . Had the play the whole qtr and we've been out scored

Was our best tonight

Rediculous. Umpires know the duckers now and they never get frees now
