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.

Very good win and the skipper after a quiet night tore the game open and played a fine last quarter.
Fine effort from Cincotta on Butters and I thought TDK was consistently good through the game, got a contribution from most players. Jacob Weitering was my BOG keeping Big Bad Charlie to one disposal and his little mate Boyd blanketed the Port smalls along with Saad. Nice to win in a venue where wins have been non existent and we have a good rest now till we play the Bombers which will probably be the game of the season for us...

Was so glad to see us play out the game and not go into goalkeeping mode, we need a few more of those wins they build confidence, AFL players are hunters not shepherds!

Doing it in the SA is an even bigger plus!

Just imaging if we had Zac Butter in our midfield, his speed is incredible and he is always on the move.

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...

55 (+15) i50's
75 (+15) tackles
Tells a story of how much we wanted that W

Super effort. Never gave up. Kept the pressure up all game. Just a bit sloppy around goals in 2q

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.

Any update on TdK, look like an arm or wrist or even ribs? Landed very heavily.

Type of player you take off when the game is won to protect him from himself, hopefully only badly winded with some bruising at worst, played very well despite Soldos efforts to injure him and others..

I was really worried that Port’s huge thug, Ollie Wines, was going to hurt Harry in a ruck contest but, fortunately, Harry got through unscathed 🤣

Ffffffin F2Rk#n awesome. Just awesome. Didn't go to sleep in the last 10m and looked like we could have piled on a couple more. From 2 weeks ago when we looked shot physically we are suddenly running out games like a real top 4 side. Gee I don't know whether to start believing?

Agree, we paced ourselves well and had plenty in the tank to put 'em to the sword in the 4th.

A few weeks ago we were desperate for the bye, look how much can change in a shirt period of time.

Strange move from Hinkley imo and I thought Wines contributed well early when not in the ruck but tired when he went in the ruck and that move helped us both in the ruck contests and around the clearances.
