Poor max must just go home banged up & sore. I saw him run into the 50 and a swans player just went to him & banged into him.

Maybe it would have been better if buddy played because they suddenly discovered other options

Our forward line is just not functioning. How many goals did we kick in the gf? Now we can barely kick half that We only kicked 4 goals after 1/4 time. We just bombed it in. Goody it's over to you to fix this

Well we kept them goaless but we really didn't out our foot down & make an impact. At least we're leading. Massive final quarter coming up

Ben brown would want to do something this half

Gee never thought we'd have to worry about Sam reid

Come on melbourne wake up

Perfect start, Max out of the goal square

We are still in the eating places. Hugh Trumble is packed & I'm in the tower bar where pizzas are a 20 minute wait. Dees fans will be there

I think trac owes us from last week. I know he had the flu but he chose to play & didn't really contribute

I have no idea what will happen. But I like our ins if they all play. Just hope we do win & win well. Straight kicking as usual is the key & would love to see Ben brown kick a few

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.
