Mills not giving much away but reckon he knows he is no chance.

Hopefully they risk him

This is damning - 12 quarters of football played this finals series for a total of 2 quarters won

ERK!!!! I take that back. More like snow in the piss holes

Syd forward line remains to be their biggest weakness imo

Why do you think that? Not arguing, interested. Sydney defeated Port by six goals.
Sydney appeared to defeat Port easily, yet we excoriated Port’s backs. Won by 84 points.
Will our back line be better than Port, or more crucially, will our forwards be better?
Again, not arguing, interested.

Or they wont!!! Shouldn't need extra motivation in a GF, we just blew them off the park that day!!

Esava just has no confidence to win the ball himself. So many times tonight he was just ball watching or “shepherding” for another teammate or just spudding it up.

I’ve always been hard on Esava when he was a Cat. Sure, he’s a nice guy, but you don’t want nice guys across the white line - you want hard-nosed competitors. Tonight hasn’t changed my view on him. Aliir battled alone tonight.

Watching the game, I just couldn’t stop thinking that any team with Sav, Narkle, and present-day Dixon just isn’t a premiership team.

 

[Play it Sam]

How crazy is that?
So they got flogged, found some redemption, only to revert to (what must be said is) true form.
A testament to the exhaustion involved in trying to win them all.

This is why we were happy for Motlop to leave as a FA

Premma bannz for posting one of the most punchable heads in the footy media.

Prevented Port from getting anywhere near their season goal average too. 8 goals in a final is pretty poor.

And it’s not just Hinkley that they want gone - I don’t disagree, thinking a clean out and refresh is what’s needed

It's how Hawkins would look if we were to play him now.

Hawkins would look slightly better. Selwood probably the same over Boak with a couple of training sessions. I even think Ronnie Burns would’ve outshone Narkle out there tonight. Levels.

He's not wrong.

Even Kent Kingsley would out do Dixon.
Even Brent spinx would go ok tonight.

Melbourne fans thinking they were genuine premership contenders, seemingly based on nothing more than who made the prelims

Don't use a word than people suffer from. Another Port flog without the empathy or forethought to better express himself.

Tonight’s Port team tonight would’ve been one of the shittest Prelim sides in recent history

Our 2010 team has them covered.

what word's that? Hinkley?

Yet bannanas in PJs are being chased by teddy bears

 

[Play it Sam]

Listen to you Ralphy. It might be Brisbane for all we know, who hold no qualms for them. If you're talking about Cats, we would be just as likely to have confidence we can thrash them again. Breathing fire does not equal talent or supersede the GF motivation of the other team.

Cancer has multiple meanings though and I take his use of cancer as it’s alternate meaning - “an evil or dangerous thing that spreads quickly”, and it’s often used to describe violence, gambling etc but in this case it’s about an individual who has been seen as being more focused about what Port can do for their ego rather than what they can do to further Port

It may be an extreme use of the word in describing David Koch in that manner, but there does seem to be an underlying issue at Port and it runs deeper than just Hinkley
