Unfortunately, it will count. Makes you wonder if in 2023 whether Stack would get away with those hard bumps that he was so damn good at....

Just bombing it into the I50 is not a strategy. That's why we lost it.

Both Cumberland and Rioli Jnr are future legends, great to see them both have awesome games that contributed to our win.

It's almost as good as seeing angry Chris Scott. Ha, ha!!!!

Won it without Grimes, Dusty, and Lambert. The new Tigers are starting to emerge, and I feel pretty excited about it.

Swaer to God, if he's not a starting 22 player in 2023, then I'll start barracking for North! Sensational effort today, he kept us in it until half time when the rest of the team finally woke up....

Yup, that wasn't GF winning performance or even close. Rebuild, rebuild, rebuild.

Just get on with the rebuild already. We're not winning a flag this year, that's a certainty.

I agree - we need Stacky's pressure and hardman tactics. If you think about Stack, Pickett, and MRJ, what a combo for pressure and tackles.

Typical Cripps, pushing around the little guys. Try that with Nank or Lynch and see what happens to you...

Agreed, he did pretty well tonight. Curnow and McKay are elite, so until the last quarter we beat them pretty soundly.

Wouldn't be so sure...Bolton was grabbing his leg in the last 5 seconds. Hopefully it's just muscle soreness...

Bolton was better tonight than last week, but those two failed hook shots are inexcusable. Very George like....

....just like Dusty does! No wonder he's the GOAT...

The best thing about tonight was making sure that Port know that we can beat them, even with a bunch of kids. They still haven't gotten over the 2020 loss to us in the PF, so it's great to keep the pain going :tearsofjoy:

Gibcus will be great in defence when he fills out a bit and packs on some muscle, but I think he's a bit of a swingman like Balta. Can't hurt to give him some time up forward though.

And speed - he has bucket loads of speed, which you need in the centre & midfield

So I take it that you don't look at the free kick count across the AFL? You do know who has most free kicks awarded against them, don't you? It's Richmond.

But that's the point - you don't win flag with consistently shit skills, which is what we keep bringing to the playing field.

Yep, bullshit that they were allowed to play on. If the AFL don't caution or warn Port over this, then they'll be showing yet again how inconsistent they are with the rules.

Disappointing to see Bolton try to be too flashy...be a star with basics first, then be a hero. Loved Baker though, man he saves us so often. Hugo was awesome too, Juddy had a great first game, even Tarrant lifted tonight.

Gibcus made some mistakes that cost us, but he did well against awesome opposition (Buddy). That goal of his was special too. But just look at the last half - we kicked only 4.8 to 10.3. That's just crap, no matter how you look at it. You really start to appreciate how our GF teams were special...

None of these three were that bad, we just aren't clean with the ball. Gibcus has been awesome to date, but still caused several turn overs and a goal tonight. George is like MRJ, applies heaps of pressure even if he doesn't have a lot of posessions, goals, etc... That's why they're here. You...

I wouldn't be unhappy if they gave Cotch another week off to see how a tweaked midfield will perform. He's unlikely to play beyond this year anyway, so got to get some games into the less experienced players. Short was good, RCD was better, Stack applied pressure even if his possessions wasn't...

Agree with your comment re: Gibcus. When was the last time that we had a rookie come in and play so consistently well? Mind blown.

He didn't really find his feet until the third quarter, but his ability to chase and apply pressure is pretty good. But sure, he's definitely got some development in front of him. The potential is definitely there though.

Agree with everything, except that even we can beat West Coast Fleagles at the moment. Great to see Mansell get a crack, I love his tough, Pickett-like performance.

I was at Adelaide Oval today, but high in the eastern stand so it was hard to see accurately. I'll be watching the replay tomorrow, but the number of frees to Adelaide was hard to believe - even from my vantage point. I don't even know what constitutes a fair tackle anymore - seems like...

Getting a solid back line is important - if we had Vlaustin, Grimes, Tarrant, Broad, Short, and Rioli in the back 50, then I think it would have been a very different outcome. Midfield is still inconsistent, we need to focus there. Commentators are right, games are won and loss from the centre...

Well nobody on MAFS will get as f*cked as we just did ;-) Maybe, but the point being that it's time to start giving the next generation some run time. Clearly the old guard aren't going to do it for us this year....
