I like that description. His role and its flow on impact aside, he looked like the Ben Brown I hoped to see, minus the run up that starts in the car park. In fact he was a little bit better than expected with his ground level work as others have noted. I had dismissed him as a lost cause below his knees but perhaps not so. He’s a seasoned key forward who knows where to position himself and how to impact the play for the benefit of others. He isn’t renowned for his contested marking but when fit, like he appears to be, he competes strongly in the air. He should’ve been awarded at least one but probably two grabs in dangerous positions. His hands were looking good. And when he gets more of those shots on goal, which he will do if he plays like that in future, he’s a reliable set shot. Something we can’t say about many players in the league let alone in our side. It’s one game but I’m actually pretty pumped about what I saw of him against Port. On that evidence he makes us a better and more potent side even if he doesn’t star himself. I reckon he could be the difference in making us a serious challenger.

“Offers nothing” lol Jesus there are some clueless dopes out there. His value to the side last night was both obvious and significant.

6. Petracca 5. Oliver 4. May 3. McDonald 2. Pickett 1. Petty Salem very stiff.

Text from Port mate at the game: “Far too good”.

Fantastic win. Benny Brown in for the rest of the year.

How on earth did we lose to Collingwood? I was at that game and I still don’t know. If we played like this we would’ve beaten them by 100 points.

Umps saw the free kick count at halftime and have evened up the ledger.

T Mac!

Petty’s best game to date.

Yes. YES. COME ON.

I’m a Nibbler fan but come on mate. Wakey wakey.

We are all over these [censored] like a rash

He’s definitely mine.

Oliver’s vision is elite

holy [censored] they actually paid one lol

Trac is playing some game here

Hell yes come on

Honestly how the [censored] was that not a mark to BB. Inexcusably poor umpiring.

Does the protected zone even exist anymore?

God I hate whistle happy umps. Put it away you muppets.

This is already Kozzie’s best game in weeks.

Spargs ?

Just replayed that call against Trac. Was 100% not incorrect disposal. Handballed it into the player, then tapped it after the ricochet. [censored] umpiring influenced by the crowd.

We haven’t tackled like this in a while. Tackling with intent.

Brown had a massive piece of that
