My brother kept coming to me during the game about too many easy marks in their forward line and how the flood gates were going to open against us. I pointed out that we just needed to clean up the use of our ball around the ground and going forward and then POW what a last qrt. He came back after the game and said see i told you the flood gates would open. :)  GO BLUE BAGGERS

Work rate enormous and really wanted it, haven't seen that from this side for a long time.

Better ball users coming in to the side makes us look better.

Cripps' last quarter, showing that the Hornet only runs one way, and Walsh's work rate... unbelievable.  Great effort from role players like Kemp, Cinch et al.

Negatives.  Soldo, a straight out dog. Umpires, WTF !?! And Fantasia....my blind poodle would be more use. Don't get me started on the commentary.
Proff agree about the commentary, here are the Blues playing good football smashing the power and all the channel 7 team could talk about was JHF. What the F. Disgraceful

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 can't see any difference in the Soldo hit to Plowman a couple of years back against the Hawks....going for the ball to spoil, eyes on the ball at all times then accidental contact with the head....and he got two weeks. Commentators last night trying to say it was just accidental and nothing in it.

Williams has lifted his output as a forward and the responsibility of not having a man and being allowed freedom has helped his game and he is doing more than Durdin and Fantasia in getting to the fall of the ball or where kicks are dropping short.
Agree with Tonyo on Fogarty, a no name player whose role is as vital as most in what he brings and when he doesn't play we lose our structure and balance down forward.
I think the coach likes Fantasia and I expect he will hold his spot for the bombers clash unless Motlop has a blinder in the VFL.Motlop might replace Carroll...

 Nothing in it; incidental contact while going for the ball, and McGovern wasn’t hurt.  If anything, the high contact on De Koning immediately before the clash with McGovern should be looked at.

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).
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

great win good to see the team stand up in the last Q AND PUT THE SCORE ON THE BOARD, but how many games  have we been in that position at 3/4 time only to lose. My only concern is that long bomb into F50 and to watch opposition players mark the ball could be costly against good teams.

agreed Pew....Walsh was guilty of it quite a bit in the first half with his kicks into the F50....but hard to criticise him with his workrate and efforts. He's just a machine. And there were those rumours pre-season about his back injury being way worse, he was likely for surgery, it could be career ending etc....he hasn't missed a beat since he came back in and would be on his way to AA consideration again.

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.

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.

We laid 75 tackles last night and how many frees did we get for holding the ball?  Owies got one under the new interpretation but were there any others?

I believe that Port were awarded three holding the ball frees from 60 tackles.
