The heart beats true

Lever is now listed as 4-6 on the clubs injury list, so no way for KB.

Apparently he was having knee issues and the club decided with the missed week and the bye to have the surgery now. Will miss Freo and Kings Birthday.

Lever out for a month. Having knee surgery.

I thought he spoke really well, and in all honesty carried himself like someone who was very aware how far off the pace we were tonight. I actually think Simon doesn’t get enough credit for how composed he is in front of the media. He gives them something, but never anything that will be of value to opponents.

He has the core and glute strength of someone who’s been in the system for 6-7 years. Both Tracc and Rayner had lower body strength at a young age, but they carried it in a way that made them look bottom heavy, until they filled out. Reid is thick through his whole body already. That kid has the body of a 25 year old pro athlete. He’s a genetic freak.

I get the frustration! That was as weak a performance I’ve seen from us for years. I kept waiting for the response, and we just looked like we couldn’t be bothered. Let’s see where we sit in a month. Long way to go for us yet.

Not me. I’m here rain, hail or shine.

Game over. So disappointing

Billings has to go now. He’s deplorable by foot, and that was the only reason we got him. He infuriates me.

They are having a day out up forward. Cant do anything wrong. Meanwhile their defence is literally just trying to hurt us, and the umpires have just woken up to it.

Have some faith. We aren’t playing well and lost one of our most important players in terms of winning the ball back in the first minutes. Hopefully we can reset with a new plan at half time and come out firing. Go Dees!

Will Schofield hates Melbourne. He was the one who got reported for hitting Clarrie and then Damien Martin called Oliver a stager on Twitter. Turn the volume down. He’s not going to do anything but barrack against us.

Ok. We get it. Are you always this negative on game day? It’s wild.

The non free kick against Reid for holding the ball really annoyed me. Thats holding the ball against 99% of players. You can’t adjudicate the rules differently because you want him to keep taking the game again. Thats not how it works.

Pay holding the ball against Reid!!!!!!!

Good midfield work from Salo there. Need him to get going.

Billings is too lazy to play our style. Hes got to go

Wow. This is horrible* * Because last time I said that we snagged 3 straight in 2 minutes.

Wow. This is horrible

We’re in strife here.

Holding the ball is a different rule over there.

Mitchell’s coaching was horrific.

Port didn’t deserve to win, but Hawthorn just stopped.

Good news. If Nathan Williamson is umpiring in Melbourne right now, he can’t be in Perth for our game later. That guy hates us.

It doesn’t help that North are a VFL team.
