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.
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.

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.

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…

No.
But it was an horrendous error in judgement.

It would seem Flynn is.
He shouldn’t be.
He needs to learn but when all you see is sackings, beheadings and public executions it shouldn’t be a surprise to see people think of themselves first.
We need to teach, train and nurture, that’s draftees, staff, coaches, CEO’s and board members.
Supporters too for that matter.

EB sorry mate but cant agree with this one. You were equally positive in the pre game threads of the north pies saints melb and maybe even a few more games tipping us to bounce back and win

We fell apart the same way and lost all of them so im not as confident as you that the last 2 weeks would have been wins if everything stayed the same.

Anyhow the one thing beyond dispute is the changes in game plan use of ball going into 50, lowering the eyes, lower kicks kicking to advantage and keeping control of the ball out of defensive 50. the predictable long kicks to the wings are not anywhere near as common as they were.

We are finally beating the teams we should beat. I said all along the list is mid table imo so i expect to beat the bottom tier teams, 50/50 ratio with the mid tier and push the top teams.

Be interesting to see next week if we revert back to the contested style as Geelong is one team it worked well against.

Finally heard Haywood in an interview on sen the main difference with Fraser is he is massive on the fundamentals and not over thinking or over complicating things but purely focus on doing the basics the best you can.

Also love someone to challenge Kane on if he still thinks Cripps is finished as a footballer. Could get 9 brownlow votes in last 3 weeks. Last night after the game he criticised the port coaches for not putting more time into him. unbelievable.

I think that it is more that Flynn’s shot at goal was at odds with our team first, creative ball use inside 50.

Apart from that rush of blood, I thought that Flynn was a good contributor, and particularly his work getting back in defence.

He's a quick learner young Dean, a month or so ago there would've been some heavy payback to Georgiades for that shove into the pack. I wonder if he told Georgiades that he would be looking for his head in the stands if he did that again.

I hope you are not being serious about Young!? Disgraceful if so! The kid has been burning it up in the VFL and been emergency with no go for weeks and is put in for one game after the coach is sacked and not surprisingly probably feels he has to show the very best of what he can offer - and misjudged a kick - had he kicked it youd be praising him for his dash carry and finish!

Give the kid a good chance ffs. Imo Billy was x10 times better than he had been previously and that’s because hes been given a decent run.

Hes a young kid left hanging for weeks in his what, 6th senior game over a few years.

Dean pushed an oppo into the fence the other week resulting in another goal - look at him last night a few weeks on!

Well done and congratulations to Harry McKay. Played his 150th game last night, a milestone seemingly gone unnoticed.
