Port have next to no method with ball movement, if we can at least even the clearances we’ll win comfortably

Enjoyed his aggression the other night along with the other forwards when things weren't going his way. Was very physical in the contest and nailed his opportunities, great game.

How good is finals footy. That was a seriously exciting spectacle - now to go all the way!

shoutout to Lloyd who has been an absolute whipping boy over the years. Was immense all night and owned his moment.

Done a fantastic job changing his role mid year and owned the game tonight. Will be the making of him.

A win like that would put the confidence through the roof. Win anywhere. Any time.

Incredible match. GWS played their hearts out and brilliance and hard work from the stars got us the win. Lloyd what a game.

Campbell Chad Heeney and Paps, add Lloyd too - ****ing incredible!!!!!

Hawks pressure is exceptional, hard not to enjoy the way they play - double the blues score but double the tackles

Goes to show it's hard for any team to maintain an A grade level all season these days, particularly with such long seasons

Hawthorn are dangerous currently, playing with a lot of confidence.

To be honest if the forwards kicked straight we probably would have won and papered over a lot of the issues that a bad loss brings into focus. Hopefully its good for us in the long run.

We'll bounce back, some of the boys definitely look tired and not playing with the usual spring in the step so hopefully being able to rotate Mills, Parker and Adams all with hopefully full game time should help in the next month.

Not entirely sure it was pace that got us today. St Kilda mids were just extremely hard at the ball and better at the ground ball. Rowbottom who usually excels in that area seemed quiet and Heeney was also off. The coal face was the issue so I reckon a fresh Parker might have actually helped.

They did butcher a fair few opportunities between them so supply wasn't the biggest issue. Amartey, McDonald and McLean could all have had at least an extra goal each.

40 tackles for the game screams physical fatigue too. Looks like the time has come where we might need to start rotating a few, cause I'm guessing we've probably played the fewest number of players in the comp for the year til this point.

Funnily enough Carlton were about 30 up against GWS and lost too. Big swings in momentum with lots of goals one way seem to be in vogue this year

Unless Adams was a fitness or workload issue he really should have been out there from the 1st bounce. Made a big difference in the centre clearances which we looked poor in all game up until that point. Just seemed a strange coaching call. Looking forward to Parker and Mills being available.

Why the hell were we slipping and sliding so much out there? lost our feet on so many occasions. Gulden and Heeney staring at each other instead of one going for the ball summed out how confused we were that final quarter.

If that’s a week it’s a pretty soft game these days

If we can step up our centre bounce work we’ll run away with it. Big question mark as saints have been good in that aspect

Campbell has been great, thought he brought the required intensity from the first bounce. Rampe been important, Papley with some important touches and Chad with a bit of class.

Worked into the game nicely, gradually moving to top gear late in the quarter

sloppy start but I thought the saints pressure was good, our pressure bad, bit fumbly, reckon Campbell and Jordon have looked sharp. Worked into it though

Merrett is quite the player

He looks and sounds very relieved if you ask me. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays with a lot more freedom for the rest of the year.

I reckon his defensive game has been absolutely on point this year, really maturing into the craft. The fact he's such an offensive weapon too makes him such a dangerous player for the opposition.

weird year, so many teams so close on the ladder and then us sticking out at the top.

What a great finish, great game out of nowhere really. North not a joke anymore with that level of pressure in the contest

He is the epitome of the bloods culture in the present day team. His ability to stand up in tackles and break free or dispose of the ball cleanly is starting to remind me of the best years of Josh Kennedy.
