I thought McGovern had a bit of a shocker and Georgiades played very well on him, he did cop a block from Soldo which was a free but not paid by the umpires, he seemed to be trailing behind the Port kid all the time and that goal he kicked was about his best piece of play for the evening. The umpires let a lot of stuff go and paid some real rubbish imo....Soldo continually pushed TDK well before the ball arrived in several ruck contests and got away with it as well as being conveniently clumsy and connecting with our players heads on occasions.
Had his jumper held in another

Looked like he went in low (good) but was second in and a little bit indiscriminate (bad) for mind, kind of like Dangerflog.  It's the pattern of behaviour I don't like....a lot of "oops sorry clumsiness" but that doesn't hold water when people get hurt.

I thought McG got a lot of treatment last night...marginally late physicality and was constantly held.  I wonder if they considered him a bit "fragile" - there was an awful lot of feeling in his goal celebration (it was a stunner to be said).
I noticed Gov was wearing a fair sized mattress under his jumper, been copping "treatment" from oppo players for weeks now. Vossy needs to go back to the umpires this week and get them to have a look at some of the decisions (or non decisions) against Gov, was having his jumper held all night. Anyway, we got the chocolates so PA and the umps can GAGF.

So you think he's doing his job?

Durden was doing more (e.g against Melbourne) and is playing twos.
With the utmost of respect Prof, it;s in our eyes that Durdin did more v Melb but as we all know, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Fantasia's and Fog's games were very similar last night I reckon, yet many laud Fog and smash Fantasia. He could have easily had 2 or 3 goals last night and is getting certain instructions to perform certain tasks which we dont know the intricacies of. He must be playing that role better than Durdin or he wouldn't be in the side. If Motlop displaces him, I'll be watching his output closely. Anyway, lets just take last nights win for what it is, a very solid team performance. Every one to a man contributed to my eye at least.

I actually noticed him a bit more last night than I have all year.
10 touches...if he'd kicked that goal and maybe another one we'd probably be saying that wasn't a bad small forward game.
But he didn't, and was eventually subbed out so...

If Motlop can have a good game in the VFL he's probably out of the side.
He might be out anyway....

The forward line is an area where it's going to be difficult to fit them all in.
Williams isn't going back... ever.
3.2 last night but...
It's not just the goals he's kicking, it's his positioning and blocking that's making a real difference.
I reckon sooner rather than later, Orazio is going to hit the scoreboard hard in a game at turn it. He has the ability, he and Fog do "things".

We probably timed it well given they had Rozee and Rioli out.....the extra mid and the latter being able to kick a goal unlike the Port smalls who were unsighted probably made a real difference.
I wouldnt mind either ZB or JHF in Navy Blue...
We'd be no chance of luring JHF but ZB is every chance of being convinced to come home and play for a club with +100K members. His pace and clean hands is precisely what we need.
