Oh my goodness North Melbourne. That was comical.

Gee, minus hitouts, you'd be happy if those stats came from one of your midfielders never mind a 6 ft 8 ruckman. Stats aside, if you look at his impact on games, It boggles the mind that Max is actually getting better. His ability to hit the scoreboard on a regular basis over the last two seasons has elevated him to a whole new level. Looking forward to the Gawn/Jackson vs Ryder/Marshall ruck battle this weekend. Probably the two best ruck combos in the competition at the moment.

Gee, really have to wind the clock back here! After going through the fixtures, I think mine is round 22, 2019 (was only able to attend two games last year, both wins) where we played Sydney on a Friday night at the G. After kicking three goals in the first quarter, we went goalless for the next two before finishing on 5.12.42, marginally behind Sydney's 15.5.95.

Almost forgot that he's out of contract at season's end and is eligible for free agency. It'll be interesting to see if he attracts any attention from other clubs. Fingers crossed he signs on the dotted line soon.

What an absolute scrap! Well done Port. 4 goals 18 behinds speaks for itself.

Even with our outs, I still think we get the job done reasonably comfortably. Lever and Viney are welcome returns not to mention Tmac who looked a class above in the VFL last weekend. It'll be interesting to see how Melksham is used today. Maybe a defensive forward role on Sicily?

Petty has been outstanding in his first two games back. Loved his progression last year but he's gone to a new level so far this season. Easy to see why he's so highly rated internally.

This team continues to astound. This was an ugly game, make no mistake. Our scoreline was hideous, our kicking into the forward line was largely out of character and we simply just looked out of sorts all night. However, even when this team operating at 40%, it's still enough to keep teams in check. That 5-10 burst in the third was all it took to put the result beyond doubt. Bowey for Prime Minister.

6. Oliver 5. Gawn 4. Langdon 3. May 2. Petty 1. Bowey

Loved JJ's game this year. Has taken to the wing like a duck to water. He's a much better kick than I initially thought as well.

Geelong kicking into gear now. Cameron could have a double digits sort of day if this continues

Love the look of Schultz and Swikowski.

If you count Jackson's goal in the second, we had a run of 11 goals all kicked by different players. EDITED: Slight statistical error, whoops.

I don't think it's be brought up yet, but how bloody awesome was Bowey's intercept and goal? Kid can seriously play.

Max is back with a (censored) vengeance!

The 'Wilbury' returns! Gee our defensive depth is something to behold. All of Tomlinson, Smith and Petty could present a case as to why they deserve to be the third tall behind May and Lever.

Loving the content! Assuming you're taking the top 3-4 performers from every game, it goes to show what an impressive array of performers we've had over the first month of the season. Only Petracca and Langdon have been featured twice!

Ed Langdon might have some GOTY competition... Shai Bolton is a deadset freak.

Goals to JVR, Laurie and Mitch White so far apparently

Terrible decision against Maynard. Brilliant effort.

I know he didn't have a great game but I think the death penalty is a tad harsh.

Coming off two consecutive six day breaks, I'm happily taking a 5-6 goal win. Some of the boys looked spent in the final quarter. Great to see Maxy back to his best. Jordan continues to improve week by week

Thanks for these edits TMD. Just a thought, it might be worth chucking these in a separate thread, as I feel they can get lost in these post game ones. Great stuff!

Watched the replay yesterday and I thought Fritsch had a better game than I first gave him credit for. Not a big night on the stats sheet, but he did a couple of really good team things that set up some shots at goal. - Paddled the ball to Langdon who kicked it to Weideman for his first shot of the match (behind) - Laid a strong tackle in the first quarter which rewarded him with a set shot (behind) - Stepped through a tackle and kicked the ball neatly to Sparrow in the second (goal)

Surprised to see that Jordon finished with only the 16 touches. Seemed to be around the ball a lot and generally used it well. Really liked his game tonight.
