Just goes to show that less talent, but flat out effort, can beat huge talent that isn't 100% 'on'.

I think the trouble is that after the next 3-4 weeks, we could very well be quite a distance from 8-10 range...

Geelong are in deep poo here.

Yep, fair cop.

Aaaand, while we throw in the chance to go 6-4, Carlton play Geelong on their home ground and have a very good look at going 5-5, and level with us.

North and Hawthorn have a distinct home ground advantage in Tasmania. We get smashed twice a year (and usually lose another two). We're not making inroads in this market, and we aren't winning games, so what's the point? North and Hawthorn are also 16-4 between them this season, so they can do whatever they damn well like. We need to win games. Why do you think all the little kids are wearing Hawthorn jumpers and their families buying memberships? It's not because Hawthorn makes the most profit in the AFL. If we lost this million bucks, it would all come out in the equalisation wash anyway, let's be realistic.

No, but why would we give up a home ground advantage. And, let's be honest. Finals are at the G so, if we make it, we're better off being able to win there than anywhere else.

The anti-Watts prejudice is what is laughable. Easily in our top 5 today.

He called the smack on Gawn in the second ruck contest of the game the same thing. It was Alastair Lynch. Another sniper of the highest order.

Killjoy.

Yeah that was absolutely incredible.

You have got to be joking. They played one quarter and beat Brisbane by 8 goals today.

And Dixon whacking Jetta in the face too. On the 5.0 business, the reason other team's key forwards kick 5.0 against us is because we let them mark it 20 metres out straight in front.

Nonsense.

Could be the start of a very, very lean run...

You can bet your arse that if Port have worked out how to exploit our zone, then Hawthorn won't have too many dramas. And that Hogan miss, when we had all the momentum, just killed us.

Next week, as in, the week after next week?

There were a hell of a lot worse than him.

What the hell is it with getting smashed behind the play, no free kicks, and they get one over the back. Disgusting.

All I'm saying is, apart from 10-15 minutes just there, we have been absolutely dismal. Port are just a very average team. Hawthorn will ream us next week.

If you'd watched the game, you'd understand.

We finally got some decent ball movement that quarter and look what happens - all of a sudden, we make an average team look average.

It's a VFL sized crowd, to be fair.

Why all the hate on Wagner?? He's bloody under siege!

Brilliant work, Jayden Hunt. And Kent working into it a bit better.
