Game Day Pear v Pussy, SCOMO v ALBO, it's on! (1:15pm SA time)

[Marmozet]

Umpires did their best to get them in front just before half time then

 

[sobrave]

Could someone tell these brainless umps how far 15 metres in? Never seen so many 20m kicks called short. That one dbj marked went 25 easy

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Geez the umpires are really onto calling not 15 on Port marks. That last one travelled about 25m before DBJ marked it

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Complely squandered our total domination of that quarter

Yep. Could have been 3 in front

 

[Duck Farmer]

Who did that disgraceful kick on the wing??? Destroyed our thrust. so what if he got pushed as he kicked had time to avoid it.

And it results in a turnover goal to Hawkins. BS by whoever that was.

Boak.

 

[NickFlips]

Something's gotta be wrong with Boak - same last week

His finger is no good. Went to grab a ball last week and was in clear pain.

 

[bomberclifford]

Danger is rooted. Haha!

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Our spread is really hurting them.

Keep running and we win this.

Bring Freddie for Georgie late.

 

[Marmozet]

Copping a face full of sunlight all day long. Hope it’s worth it in the end.

 

[BornPort]

Goaless quarter in the 3rd or 4th?

 

[johnnysix]

His finger is no good. Went to grab a ball last week and was in clear pain.

Why are we playing him? We have guys that can run through the centre.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Bone crushing game of footy. Lachie Jones was like a wrecking ball in the first quarter.

Hayes continues his improvement.

Farrell has a Marvel superhero foot

We were relentlessly attacking that quarter just couldn't quite convert to scoreboard pressure.

Houston and Wines terrific.

Our defensive structures have been good and we've maintained shape.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Really needed Robbie to kick that goal

 

[Powerade 08]

We would need a serious Hinkley special to lose this. The game will open up at some point.

 

[Traveling_Power]

Hayes 17 hit outs v Blicavs 14 hit outs

 

[Enviable Tradition]

We would need a serious Hinkley special to lose this. The game will open up at some point.

Feels that way. Let's hope we're both right

 

[Duck Farmer]

SPP and Faz fantastic. Need a lot more out of Rozee in the second half.

 

[Traveling_Power]

Geelong have been held without a mark inside 50 in a first half for just the second time since the turn of the century, the only other instance coming in Round 9, 2018 against Essendon.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

SPP and Faz fantastic. Need a lot more out of Rozee in the second half.

Houston very, very good too. I'd have him as the second best player on the ground in the first half.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Love the way Drew in packs disrupts opposition ball movement.

 

[Coobk001]

Finlayson soft as butter.

Too many other unpressured fumbles, especially up forward where our boys are panicky.

Some good ball movement in the 2nd. Farrell BOG by a mile. Team defence got rolling in the 2nd.

Third quarter here is going to be season defining. Hope the misses to Georgie and Robbie don't come back to haunt us, such easy misses.

 

[backtozero]

Geez the umpires are really onto calling not 15 on Port marks. That last one travelled about 25m before DBJ marked it

He called not 15 whilst DBJ was still running backwards to collect it.

[Capital Power]

Dominant quarter everywhere but on the scoreboard. Plenty of one-way umpiring in there too. Will do well to hold on, need to finish those opportunities.

Dumont has been very clean while many others around him haven't. (Ignoring Farrell whose playing brilliantly)
