Hinge!
That turn between two oppo players to send that raker to the forward flank.
This, just after the amazingly clean pick up by Frampton, …shit kick, 
…but another beautifully clean pick up by Hinge.
The planets certainly aligned.

Yes!Hinge!
That turn between two oppo players to send that raker to the forward flank.
At first, I thought that the turn-and-bullet-kick was Dawson, because it looked so good.
Hinge and Dawson work well together, smooth movers, intelligent footballers and both have beautiful left-foot kicks. Let's set up a Cloud Fund and pay both of them to teach Keays (and others) how to kick like that...?
He is basically Shaun Mckernan. He could be great but probably won't be.

He got away with dropping it in the last couple of minutes. Lucky the umps put away the whistle except for the blindingly obvious calls.

So, buddy ... I assume that you wanted our quality, talented young forward in the team for this game?
Or could it be that you trying to re-write history again:
Punchy Bassett
Brownlow Medallist
Doesn't hold the ball to his chest, does the arms in the air above his head move.

The free against Rachele (in the back) who tackled the powaa player to the ground was ridiculous. How is he not meant to be on his back when he was wrapping him up on the ground? They seem to be targetting him. The 50 where he ran through Boak's space was also ridiculous as Boak had already executed his kick and surely this was play on. I saw this on numerous occasions over the weekend by other teams with no 50. I felt they tried their best to get powaa over the line.

Don't think it was a shit kick by Billy, he wanted to get the ball in Hinge's hands as he's the better kick.Hinge!

Brown did that against Collingwood and still got pinged, zero consistency in how they apply it.
Billy should have not grassed a 20 metre kick. It was lucky Hinge took that ball like DJarman.

That was so amateur hour. It was like that bloke had never watched a football in flight before.

It very nearly didn't hit Hinge.
Lucky Hinge was able to trap it and move quickly around 2 opponents closing in.
It all worked out in the end but it was a poor kick.
Similar to when Keays only just hits a target who has to dive for it which puts pressure on the next kick.

I guess it got there in the end but it was still a shit kick.
It's like every Port season condensed into a 20 second video. The first 5 seconds is November through to about late March / early April. The rest is... the rest
I wouldn't say it "very nearly didn't hit Hinge", it went straight to him but fell maybe half a metre short - maybe less. It wasn't a big deal for Hinge to gather it, it was pretty much a half volley and frankly I'd be disappointed if he hadn't gathered it cleanly.
So not a great kick, for sure, but not as poor / close to disaster as some might say.

Exactly how I saw it.
So, on Ken vs the Port players for the last 2 minutes. I'm wary of the wrath of Sanders and he does have a point, but I'm not letting Ken off the hook.
Of course the players (should) train for such a situation, of course the players (esp the onfield leaders) should "click into gear" in that situation. A coach shouldn't have to do/say anything, but most coaches do. See the 4 coaches (Crows/Port/Carlton/Hawthorn) in that situation on the weekend - only one of them was sitting back and not on the phone.
It's IMO about "making sure" and not just sitting back and assuming the players will do the right thing. There was a stoppage on the wing, right next to the interchange area, with 30 secs to go. Within shouting distance, a runner didn't even have to go on to the ground.
Would it have made any difference? Maybe not, but to not even try?
And Ken's got form in this area. How many times do we see him on TV sitting in the box, no phone, no headset. I mean, I don't pretend to be able to tell an AFL coach what to do during the game, but IMO it's a terrible look to be the only coach who's not seen giving instructions during the game.
PS the Jones "HTB not paid" - was that the wing, as above, with 30 secs to go? IMO that was "no prior". Maybe in another situation an overzealous umpire might pay it, but it was quite legit to let it go.
