Carn crows! Funnily enough, if Crows get up and and both Bombers and Lions win, there will be 7 teams at the top of the ladder separated only by percentage.

Good outcome tonight. Saints aren't going to finish below Freo and now Port draw further away #everyoutcomeagainstfreo

He had his foot out the door half way before his first season was over and requested a trade to Port. North could have held him to his contract but seemed both parties thought a split was better. North have done well out of the deal regardless with Sheezel and Wardlaw, who hasn't played yet. Wardlaw is an explosive mid who will be a gun, assuming he gets on the park (injury prone with hammy issues last year).

He's a gun and was always going to be. Like the way he goes about his footy when he's switched on.

I don't condone the booing but slightly different circumstances to a regular trade. Horne-Francis essentially Tom Scullied North while they were on their knees and only saw out half of his rookie contract. Fair spit in the face of North fans who should rightfully be [censored] (I'm aware there are probable issues at North that contributed to him leaving). Why every other teams fans has joined the booing bandwagon is somewhat perplexing but probably relates to group-think/pack mentality.

Cheers for the correction. Have amended so I don't look like such a dumbass 👍

Hopefully. There's another player in this scenario as well and that's GWS. Likely to finish bottom 4 and have another probable top 10 pick incoming thanks to the tigers which, unfortunately, gives them a far better starting hand than us.

Quite possible. They aren't afraid of taking Victorians though and if Reid is head and shoulder above every other prospect surely they just take him.

I was apprehensive at first, but I'm ok with it as long as their marketing and design of their moniker focuses on the animal. Maybe they can talk to Warner Bros. and pay for the rights to Taz.

Highly doubt we are in with a realistic shot at Reid unless Freo really fall off a cliff and hand us a top 3 pick. Even then, Hawks are tanking hard and the logical reason would be that they have their heart set on Reid.

The mfc app has the full version. Edit: at least I thought it did. Just checked now and it says 3.50 run time. Swear I watched it last night and it went for near 7 minutes.

Happy with this, if Petty doesn't go back then I think we should bring Turner in. We look far better with three tall defenders imo.

Would love to see Laurie get a full game, poor guy got all of 5 minutes on the ground last night. Funnily enough he picked up 4 disposals in this time which is what he had in his full debut game.

Wonder if McIntosh will get cited for his deliberate knee on May in the 2nd quarter? Pretty dirty action however not much contact so probably won't be.

I was up in the nose bleeds close to opposite the mcc area and it was definitely in favour of the dees there. Tigers supporters were actually lovely people as well, super weird.

Always thought his nickname should be Mr Bing.

Port holds fears over forward's knee injury, defender sidelined - https://www.afl.com.au/news/911775

Agreed, I had some concerns heading into the bombers game and nothing is a given in this competition. Dees by 12 goals.

Suns have more potential to finish above freo in my view so I'm hoping they have a good win today.

Georgiades apparently did a knee in the SANFL, unsure on severity as of yet but some concern about an ACL possibility. Source: half time report in the Suns vs North game. And https://www.zerohanger.com/fears-of-serious-setback-for-port-adelaide-forward-mitch-georgiades-135918/

Thought Turner was outstanding all game.

Agreed, did more right than wrong and was one of our better players.

For all the good things Harmes has done, he's had some equally poor tackling efforts and almost non-existent second efforts.

That was really poor by Tomlinson I thought. Dropped the mark then stayed on the ground far too long allowing an easy shot on goal.
