Not a mark Edit: Sorry, free kick

Comedy of errors

Trac with a bit more intent

Thank you Salem for lowering the eyes

That was embarrassing. -39 disposals -4 clearances -33 uncontested possessions -10 in tackles I'm done with giving these guys a chop out. If you don't want to work hard on matchday then [censored] off

So yourself a favour, don't expect a tackle to stick

This is a joke

Oliver has 1 touch..

May pinged something. [censored]

It's the same each week. We have the ball handling skill of an under 14s team. 4 tackles to Essendon's 11 so far despite getting tanned in the possession count. Wonder who wants it more? This club just doesn't give you hope right now and a new week doesn't seem to change that.

[censored] stuff from Fritsch

Clean hands from Kozzie!

We miss Lever more than ever

That ball movement is the idea

Didn't get a chance to see the teams this week so I'm stoked that Lindsay is back

The umpiring has been terrible

Well try it out somewhere else.

Win the football game tonight. Not dealing with losing to this team and giving their fans the added bonus of the future 1st.

Thank you for asking this question ATBOG because it was the first thing I thought after Friday night. How can a team, historically very fit and able to run out games, allow so many uncontested possessions and marks on a smaller ground? The gameplan is being pointed to and fair enough, but this wouldn't be the first time in history that a team as screwed up their fitness preparations. Not saying it's the reason for our poor form but I think all areas need to be questioned.

Wouldn't surprise me. Succession planning would have been in place, can't be doing these things on the fly.

Yeah the sensationalist comments need to be taken with salt. It's easy to say the game has passed us by, the more important issue is what are the other teams doing when they come up against us and how does our style stack up over a season. Follow the leader doesn't guarantee success and you can go back through time to see how often teams have tried to emulate others. It does have some merit but these people aren't asking the right questions I think.

We need to find a way to beat Essendon. I dont care how. I'm not putting up with Essendon fans beating us and then gloating over the 1st rounder they have from us. No way, no how.

I'd like to know this too. We get whacked in uncontested possessions and marks on a smaller ground. Is this down to fitness and work rate or structure? A lot is being said about where we are faulting with the ball but are we just as bad without it right now? We once had a very well drilled defensive zone system, have they tried to alter what they do without the ball too much as well as with it?

I love these kinds of Port jumpers. So much better than the usual garbage.

The JVR Weideman comparisons are uncalled for.
