The big change for me has been Cripps form , suddenly he has 4th quarter energy and is back to brownlow form?
It's amazing how blokes playing for career survival can suddenly find the energy and effort to give the captain a chop-out! ;)

Cripps is getting to the end of games fresher, because all of a sudden those around him are making an effort.

Also last night we saw what happened when "team defense happened", in the absence of our usual reliance on Weitering to mop up the crap we normally dish up!

This group will go nowhere, because it proves that Voss was put to the sword by selfishness, now that they fear for their own future they have suddenly become selfless. Except for Flynn Young, he should be kyboshed to the VFL for eternity as a warning to others who think about burning the squad for self-benefit.

Young’s family should be put in stocks and dragged down Royal Parade before being pilloried.
If he repeats then it’s his aunts, uncles and his neighbour and their dogs turn…

I would not consider the Geelong game to be any kind of test. They are way ahead of us, and just beat a super team like Sydney by almost 5 goals. The gap in form, class, talent etc between Port and Geelong is about the same as the geographical distance between them. 4 quarters of effort is all I ask for next week. And kicking straight would be a bonus.

Port weren't fair dinkum last night. Butters on a HBF, turn it up.
Lets see what happens next week against a serious side in Geel next week.
Port are tanking, strange moves, odd selections. Good to win for sure but perspective required and the Voss vs Fraser comparison is silly, I think Voss could have coached both games with the same result.

Carr explained that move in his media conference... it was to create more drive off half-back. Carr also admitted that our run and spread caught them somewhat by surprise. They focussed on taking our contest and pressure out of the game -- with some success -- but we got them, and hit the scoreboard, with turnover success... something new for us.
The Fox commentary team were saying the same things in game.
