I'd love to see Ben Brown step up and do a Jeremey Cameron performance and kick a bag of goals.

INS - Harmes, Langdon, McDonald, Salem, Tomlinson OUTS - May (concussion), Bedford, Melksham, Rivers, Weideman (omitted), Dunstan (used medi-sub)

Suspension upheld.good decision

Making a decision now. Deliberation time

Ha laughed when he said I don't think Steven may has realised he can't play next week and he isn't going to tell him. Jack viney was also on ch9 & said he'd be surprised if buddy got off, said he did the same thing and did not get off. Said Jake bowey was a bit disheveled after the loss but has bounced back

Now will be heard tomorrow night so Sydney have more time to prepare. The game was last Friday. How long do they need?

I thought his parents were moving over here? He may want to go to Perth for other reasons. I hope not.

I see Essendon are doing another review. Didn't they just do one a couple of seasons ago? Gee Josh Mahoney would be getting flashbacks from his time at Melbourne when we were bad.

Gee it's a good thing port had that good 1st half. What a shocking final quarter with no side kicking a goal. But the main thing is Essendon lose again 😁

Would that be it? I think he was frustrated at 1/4 time.

Over 80,000 at the G. You have to hand it to the 2 clubs. They know how to bring a crowd

Gee port have stopped. Keep going & do not drop this

My weekend would end on a good note if port absolutely thrashed the dons. They are on there way. Essendon can't seem to be able to kick a goal.

With Petracca if he woke up feeling ill then he shouldn't have played. Goodwin should have made the call and as coach put his foot down and say to Trac have a week off, rest up and prepare for Sydney next week. We know Trac would have probably said I'm fine but he clearly wasn't. He did nothing yesterday and once you run onto the ground you are deemed fit to play. One thing that did worry me a bit yesterday was when freo were coming in the 3rd term there were no leaders standing up to stop it. At Carlton Cripps will take responsibility, pendles at the pies and Martin does it at Richmond. But I couldn't see anyone trying to take control. The review will be different this week but as Matthew Lloyd said this morning maybe now they will properly address things that they may have glossed over the past few weeks because we were winning.

Nth v saints will be interesting to see how nth respond after there week of copping it. I hope port pummel essendon today

Not sure west coast fans would take these thrashings very well. Yes there are excuses but they are terrible.

Look the kid is 20, he is coming off a season where he won a premiership and played the game of his life in the grand final. The following year is always the hardest to back up but yes he seems to have lost a bit of his magic. His marking hasn't really been there and his tap work has lacked a bit of polish, but I'm sure he's working on t. Is he worth a million, no way and if west coast or freo are dumb enough to do it then good on him, let him go. I don't want to lose a young and up coming player because we can't fit him in our cap. But I'm sure Luke and the club will hopefully come to some arrangement.

So the suns play the hawks tonight at TIO then they play nth there again next week. So obviously staying in Darwin for the week. Not bad. Hope Rowell has packed a lot of sunscreen. But this is a very comprehensive win by them. Gee the dogs are giving it to west coast. Doing it easily without Bailey Smith to. Not sure where west coast go from here.

Saw a few comments on social media where they said technically Melbourne's winning streak isn't over. Narrm lost

It will be an interesting car ride on the way home with the 2 Brayshaw brothers. Heard Andrew say after the game Angus is giving him a lift.

Yeah same, it's odd, I'm not angry, I'm just like oh well we lost. In fact I feel a little relieved because we can't keep winning forever. I think I'm more annoyed at freo losing to collingwood last week, it's a shame they didn't put in the same performance last week. I don't care it rained.

Can I just say to people that want to go to the football, watch the game. If you want to drink and talk to your friends and be on your phone, go to a pub or restaurant. I had 2 ladies sit next to me and not sure how many cans they had but the more they had the more the laughter got annoying. They were con there phones the whole time and talking about people in there lives. I really don't know how much they saw of the game.

The Suns have started well.

I knw he hasn't had a good few weeks but the delivery did not help brown at all today. The ball just got bombed on top of him and freo players just punched it away. He never got the chance to lead and had players in his way. I wouldn't drop him for next week. On another note it was disappointing to only kick 4 behinds in the final term. We didn't man up properly and just gave freo so much space and they led our players to the ball. I'll be interested to hear Goody's comments after the game.
