whatwhat say what

Port Adelaide are losing players hand over fist.

Westhoff very impressive there, outsmarting McDonald. Port going man on man as we have limited their run.

Jetta out marks Howe!

Better second half of that quarter. First 10 minutes was shocking.

JKH is trying to be too clever all the time, needs to focus on the doing the right thing, the team thing.

Big swing by the Russian.

Good stuff big Max.

Wa-hey, a score. How big is this ground? Their running ability is going to crucify us.

One hundred point margin coming up I fear.

Be nice if someone could lay a tackle as they waltz through the middle.

Shocking start.

no room for juice?

interesting to see that even then - prior to being drafted - there were doubts on his speed off the mark.

he's a real 'wait and see' for mine. like hogan, until he can come and play football again following the injury, i just presume he's done and dusted.

different mark williams - ours is a vfl coach, tigers' assistant / shiel's potential father-in-law is the mad dude out of port adelaide (and brisbane bears, and collingwood). very interesting what's happening at gws at the moment

He would be a great addition. People who think he's not worth our first round pick need to re-think it I reckon - he's a smooth, quick outside runner with lovely delivery. He's also, as seen against the Pies, tailor-made for the MCG. If we end up with pick 4 or so, would happily let it go for Gaff.

As someone who has ghosted puff pieces in the past for a struggling organisation, it was very hard to get the balance right btw critical and objective. I think the BA reports are doing a reasonable job of it.

geez he was tough. several of those hits would see most blokes miss weeks. he just gets up and gets on with it.

that was outstanding.

What did welsh say?

yep, looms as our likely first round pick i reckon.

i was certainly talking kirk - he has a little of the dude about him, just a very relaxed character. fuggit, let's go bowling...

being reported very differently. the age - roos refuses to commit to dees long-term afl - roos rules out long term stay at the demons herald-sun - roos to coach for three, stay for longer i'm paraphrasing, but that's the general vibe...

Anyway, back to the subject at hand... There seems to be general consensus that Clark (obviously), Byrnes and Nicholson will go the way of all good things. The latter two have 13 rounds to prove the doubters wrong, I guess? If Pedersen can do it, so too can they.

The dude abides. (Just don't [censored] on his rug!)
