...and he was right.

No, and that's why it's up to Max to lift his game when he's confronted by these attacks. If the opposition know he's only gong to play better, they will lay offf. Unfortunately to date it's been the opposite. His performance has suffered.

It's not about retaliating it's about going harder at the next contest. There are players that you never try and get under their skin as they only play better. This is the leaning (Goody speak) Max needs. You're never too old to learn.

I'm not sure...Port have been targeting Max for a number of years now. They were prepared to give away a few free kicks because the tactic works. First & foremost Max needs to look after himself by taking the game on. He's a big boy. If he goes up another level then the tactic fails, but he didn't. His game was off which ensures he will get more of the same. As for the team, they need to up the pressure rating in these games then maybe flying the flag wouldn't be necessary. The opposition would be more concerned with getting a kick away & hitting a target.

Tommo...

I think this has been the the case this season & last...it's not an easy fix.

I think all teams struggle with pressure. We didn't bring our pressure game, they did.

...and I wish they would get rid of the Friday night Fox crew. I just turn off as soon as they come on. Sarah in, boys club out.

Line ball...

Not sure we're struggling but with you on Tommy...looks totally cooked. Let's hope looks are deceiving & he can turn back the clock.

Neither him or Tommy are playing well enough to be selected. I'm guessing the only reason Tommy is getting the gig ahead of BBB is because he can provide some cover in defence if needed.

Last year he was coming back from injury (which he didn't seem to have right), this year it has been illness. From memory he had a good base in preseason before the thyroid complaint, so topping up that base with a mini pre should see him right to go. Just gives us a lot more options including himself running through the middle.

I want to see Williams...

Eliza is already a weapon....if Mark Williams helps her kicking she will go to another level.

Yep, and King is talking them up after they beat an undermanned Geelong. The same Geelong, fully manned that King said had fallen off the cliff a few weeks back.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/922166/nine-things-we-learned-freo-finally-worked-out-its-forward-line This is the thing I really hate about AFL media as a whole. Freo have finally worked out its forward line. Give me a break. They played the Swans who were without their 2 KPB's plus their best defender, Rampe. ...and the previous week, Hawthorn. I should know better, but seriously the rubbish that gets put up.

Be a miracle if Sydney pull this one off.

Blitz milked that one, put his head on the ground. 2 weeks for acting.

Jackson played mainly in the ruck with Darcy carrying an injury into the game. If he has the run of the ruck he will play good footy but that's just not going to happen. Fyfe helps them but for how long, who knows. Injury is a constant...

Who is Powell..never heard of him.

I hope you're right 'Jimmy' or even better. I'm just trying not to worry about it too much. I find myself too invested in the Freo result and probably still will be.

I think I'm out...it's too hard supporting one AFL team let alone another (the one playing Freo). We will get a top 10 pick, can't see them making the 8. Anything higher than 10 will be a bonus.

Probably headed to WC...

Petty back...BBB will have to come back in and maybe even Smith, particularly if JVR is out.

'DeeSpencer', the Kane Cornes of Demonland...
