Nascent

Percentage boost for the dogs coming up it seems. Doing as they please.

As long as he stays and we have coin left over for Oliver I'm happy.

Can you order one with a number? Haven't seen that as an available option before.

Named 3rd best on for Dandenong in their win over the Lions academy. Very early days but if he keeps this form up he might be out of reach for us.

Cripps subbed out of the game, a Suns upset just became more likely. Hamstring injury

Are we sure the stats are correct? A total of 250 touches for the team seems incredibly low for a comfortable victory. Around about 50 - 100 less disposals than most other teams so far this round as well.

I really liked the look of him vs Sandy where he picked up 22 touches and kicked 2. Not much of an opponent that day I know. Didn't do much against the Bombers but it was a bit of an odd game with a depleted team and scratchy form from most players that day. What I liked most from what I saw was his vision and disposal, seems to make the right call quickly and disposes cleanly. I've liked him since his draft year so probably some bias coming in there and perhaps gone a bit early about his chances of getting a senior gig. A bit of projection here but give him half a season at VFL level and I have faith he will soon be putting his hand up for a senior gig. Unfortunately for him it's a tough team to crack into and one that Simon doesn't play around with too much.

Was a little bit surprised to see Howes named as an emergency for Thursdays game. Be interested to see how he goes on Saturday and if he can really put his name up in the coming weeks. Been quietly impressed with Laurie so far as a mid/half forward. Think he's got the ability to crack a debut sooner rather than later.

I actually thought kozzie was good tonight, so many plays where he wouldn't have got a stat but neutralised the ball or caused a turnover from his pressure. The goals will come. I'd watch the replay again to reasses his game but I don't hate myself that much.

6. Gawn 5. May 4. Langdon 3. Harmes 2. Fritsch 1. Jordon Apologies to Sparrow (fix up your delivery inside 50) and Brayshaw. ANB also good.

One of the most painful wins I've watched but it's still a win. Gawn, Harmes, May, Langdon and Jordan played well, not much else to take out of it except it was a win without Oliver and Petracca starring. Hope Wines is OK.

Shame they're not super physical. Could have been our bash brothers.

We're being far too cute with the ball. What a shocking game.

Love Sparrow but he really needs to clean up his inside 50 delivery.

1st goalless half in Ports history. The knives will be out soon.

What am I even watching?

Wonder if there will be a crowd walk out at half time?

Insufficient intent????

Love the sound of the crowd.

Gawn back to his marking best at least.

The first quarter highlights on replay will be non existent

Ummm. Do the umps hate Viney? What was that mark call?

Lol, two person body slam into vineys back and no free

Very sloppy start.

If I'm interpreting the afl app correctly it looks like Bedford and Dumont will be the respective subs.
