Zac Bailey > Cam Rayner

Agreed.

Although Z.Bailey has not come on either in the last two years like I thought he would.

Was expecting in 2020-21 that by now he would have taken the step up like C.Warner at Sydney has.

 

[Dylan82]

Didn't see the game but it does seem reminiscent to our round 21 game vs Melbourne in 2021 when there was there was a break of 29 mins break in the final term due to lightning with Melbourne leading by 33. After the break we kicked the last 4 goals of the match lose by only 9 points.
Here there was a break of 38 mins with Brisbane leading by 40 points, then afterwards Melbourne scored the last 5 goals and only lost by 11 points.

You're correct, it played out similarly.

Brisbane went conservative and put players behind the ball, whilst Melbourne with nothing to lose threw caution to the wind with their play.

Demons dominated territory as a result and converted that into scoreboard output.


Matches such as these do give me pause to consider if there is a greater narrative within them. Had the leading teams just switched off, or is there something within hyperaggressive approaches that is overtly favourable to modern football? Something perhaps that makes them dominant against more typical or defensive setups?

Maybe McRae is onto more than he is getting credit for.

I think it’s incredibly difficult to sustain that hyper aggressive approach - Collingwood were the best part of 4 goals down before Geelong could no longer go with them

The best sides can maximise scoreboard impact when they’re on and minimise the damage when momentum shifts. Simpson isn’t the only coach who has pointed out how difficult it can be to arrest momentum

Actually called the comeback to my son and think that game the Dee's experienced against us led to their fightback tonight.

There was footage during the break of the Lions guys sitting around while the Demons players were keeping warm jogging/on the bikes. Even afterwards the Brissy players said they didn't know how to deal with the break and they genuinely thought the game was over.

Obviously also being behind and just going for it where the other team is trying to hang on plays a big part too

2nd week in a row Brisbane couldn't handle the power.

Watched the replay of when the lights went out. It looked much darker on tv than it did live.

Wil Ashcroft.

31 disposals and a goal last night.
Pretty big game from a top talent.

Easily rising star nod this week.
Will need something epic for him not to get it.

Hewett's four goals in the fourth quarter to tip West Coast over the line by four points

It was certainly interesting watching the gap close after the game recommenced.

I went to bed. But it was a worthy Friday night game.

100% was. Another ten minutes and the Dee's might have snatched it i reckon.

Port getting screwed royally from the umps. Reminds me of how they officiate our games. Umpires dictate who they want to win these days.

Do we play Collingwood at the MCG because I'd rather us forfeit then having to waste our time with a dodgy bais umpire

 

[Manbearpig77]

WCE should find out who Collingwood's tackling coach is, back up a garbage truck full of money to his front door and hire him.

Don’t cry for Port, the more they get pumped the happier I’ll be.
Shits me watching a fit Rioli running around for another club.

It's legitimately killing the game for me.

I couldn't care less about Rioli.

I just want a even game without umpire interference. Seems impossible these days.

[the harry]

More Port losses = better draft pick

Hopefully they don't score again today

 

[Seadog]

Too much handball from Port. Bit of a rabble at the moment.

 

[Seadog]

If you get tackled and can't get rid of it it's a free kick, if you drop it it's all good, play on.

 

[WCErevival]

Could be a 100 point belting at this rate.

 

[RookiePick]

Powell-Pepper the only Port player putting in efforts.

Collingwood Shittatts football club look pretty good

 

[Ishmael_]

These Daicos kids are unbelievable, projection off the charts

Collingwood winning a the absolute lottery
