Review 2021 R1, Port beats North

[PAFC_1870]

In 2003 we went into September without our first ruck division - Primus, Francou and James.

People say we choked, but we can't win a flag without Lycett, Boak and Wines in September.

I know the reasons. We obviously had some bad luck too.

But that squad as a whole unfortunately under achieved. Given we had Brisbanes measure. No one talks about us, they talk about Lions as the greatest ever.

This Tigers team is ageing. We have shown we can match and beat them too. It's about time we are remembered too.

Enjoy watching forward entries that aren’t just bombed on Dixon’s head continually. The balance up forward is fantastic with multiple options.

It’s going to be hard to defend us and the back 6 and defensive setup looks solid.

Strap in, big year ahead.

We bombed it too often in the first quarter and a bit, but then cleaned up a lot of our I50 entries.

I50 we took 2 marks in the first quarter, then 4, 4, and 7 for 17 marks from 60 I50's. Will have to see what we scored from that as 2 or 3 were marks I50 and then a pass and another mark.

If Brisbane went into 2003 without Keating, Voss and Black in September, they wouldn't be talked of in the same way.

I’ll happily take the 2004 edition, some of our all time greatest players

Rozee, Butters, Georgiadis and Marshall are all pretty much in the starting out phase of their AFL journey in comparison to all those seasoned, hardened players on that 2004 team. These discussions are just ridiculous. All i will say is, i'd much rather have the age profile of the dynamic forward line we have now. The possibilities with this bunch are sky high. But that's me.

Absolutely.

But it should hurt us that they are heralded as the greatest ever and we finished on top every year and no one outside this board really cares.

This is my reason.

04 was peak or past peak for most.

2021 we carry a top 5 (atleast) Power player in the pocket. He's a complete afterthought.

Ken saying Connor is a good chance to play next week.
Imagine THAT forward line

Rozee on one foot in the trial games looked like he was going up a level in 2021.

So there really are no rules for bringing on the emergency sub?

I've always had it in my mind that despite how good Butters has become and how good Duursma can be, Rozee has been injured and still probably the best of the 3.

Wash your mouth out with Butters

Its not a knock on him bro.

If he actually said this North should be sanctioned. Its blatantly against the rules.

I'm glad Motlop ended up getting his goal, worked ran hard all day today.

Then 5 minutes later Curtis Taylor goes off with concussion after Houston put his knee thru the back of Taylor's head in a pack marking contest. Karma.

2004 Tredrea would be 2021's best tall forward.

I feel Bergman's big frame is more suited to mid/forwards

Send them to ACT.

The rules stink and he's being honest. This is another of those times where the rules need to change.

What about the rules stinks? And even if it does, it doesn't mean you can break them with impunity. They should get the book thrown at them.

A good crowd in Tasmania but I dont think Kangaroos or blue & white suits the apple isle.

They did nothing wrong as the rule is written, that’s the thing. All you need is a doctors note to say he has an injury and they can come off.

If Corr was unable to play next week if he got subbed there is no way he goes off. They left it open to be rorted and it is.
