I can't even fathom the athleticism that would take

Some pretty ordinary vision of JHF jogging (even slower maybe) on sat night.
On the first crack.

Late in the final quarter too.

Was just watching some footage of the showdown on first crack and hornes' effort is deplorable. I don't think he's even happy at port.

I understand it was after an advantage call but surely you are going all out after a bloke running into 50 for a shot at goal.

He’s happy when he gets his own way, spoon fed

Bizarre. Weren’t they celebrating Carr’s “homecoming” in the preseason.

A VIC coach from a successful team… Hmm, well I know of a recently successful VIC team that actually has someone assisting who has coached a premiership in his own right. Port Power fans might know him, since after all the premiership in question is the one and only that they have ever won

One of their posters did actually say “Bring back Choco!”

Hey you reckon the Sack Hinkley thread is brutal, check out the replies to the official Port Twitter feed

Hoo boy

Swans getting pumped, should rebound nicely next week

Yep - should smash Port next week. And brings a little smile remembering North have their first rounder if their season goes to pieces

Jesus did anyone see Lukos goal from inside the center square? Biggest set shot I've seen I reckon.

Straight away told everyone he was having a shot too. Knew his range.

So I noticed West Coast lost, but still managed to go ahead of Port.

This competition is broken. Logue 1 game, McAdam 3.

Just saw footage of Newcombe, for starters he and the other Hawks player drive McDonald to the ground head first, then he grabs his arm and chicken wings him, he could have broken his arm or popped his shoulder.

It seems “potential” for injury was only relevant against McAdam.

Then Pedlar, good tackle, yes Houston ends up face first, there wasn’t two motions and he didn’t drive him hard, he held back. No concussion test, played on. “Medium” impact. Get ****ed

Houston drove that tackle and lunged forward trying to break it. The Crows should appeal because Pedlar did nothing wrong. At some point you have to blame the player being tackled for the motion of the tackle. If anything, the MRO simply has no idea and is outright guessing.

Fox’s the first crack with Montagna King and Huddo, on after Bounce

Thanks, found it. Talk footy without all the crap, didn’t mind it. Hope we win more games to make it worth watching!

Annoyed king didn’t go hard on logue like he did on Mcadam especially since he went past the ball, he’s usually red hot on ALL head hits

Gee that doesn't look good. I didn't notice it live.

Doesn't match what I remember in his juniors re defensive efforts.

It was a constant last year too, reckon there’s some vision in his thread on our board of him giving up mid play if he didn’t get the ball, had never seen anything like it.

I would have snapped my back in half!

There was clear vision of him doing it the week before too and was evident in games last year. I think everyone believes he will be a long term gun, but this is an aspect of his game that needs to improve.

They showed vision on First Crack of Nick Holman at the Suns having 2 or 3 efforts in a row against Geelong where he would come from 30-40 metres away to apply pressure and eventually got a HTB decision his way after applying a tackle. Putting those type of efforts in doesn't require you to be a star, so it's surely something you can help JHF with.
