5 day break thing is so fking dumb why is it even being mentioned?Horne-Francis with another superb second half with the game on the line. This guy just comes up big so often when we need him to. He's a born winner the likes of which we haven't had since Tredrea.
Also, the 5 day break thing is complete garbage. As if it makes any difference playing on Saturday night v Sunday afternoon. The absence of McKay, Acres and De Koning was much more telling from their perspective.
On Fox the Hawke gave an insight to how he & the Rat trained together in the forward line at Geelong saying 'too many forwards at Geelong and not enough big bodies in defence' was why the Rat was moved down back.Also Ratugolea looks like he has a LOT more forward-craft than he does in defense..
Think it's worth persisting with him up there.
Dixon had to play on arguably the best defender in the entire comp, Rat played on their 3rd best defender, as Mitch had McGovern. Yes Dixon played shit, big don’t forget that fact.Sav was super happy positive good
Infact his aerial contested work was superb
It was a chuck chuck In the bin monent
Dixon is gone
Rat was 2 x times Dixon
Needs to played forward instead of Charlie. He’s done.
Can take a clunk and has some speed to lead.
If Charlie didn't play the Rat would have been on their best defender.iNeeds to played forward instead of Charlie. He’s done.

And note he did a Curnow and went down back in the last few minutes of the game.It looked like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Maybe the freedom of not paying a big price if he loses the contest.
Not the worst kick for goal either. Keep him forward and if he continues to play like that then Marshall and Lord can compete for the 3rd tall spot.
The captain needs to stop fumbling at the first sign of pressure. His first two involvements in the third quarter were more fumbles. He needs to be stronger in mind.Good to see us really go to work in that second half. I think we’ve been on the juice - there was one chest mark from Esava where the ball all but burst and even Farrell was looking physically imposing. Just need to slip some of the good stuff to our captain
It was never a chance, Port will honour his contractAny chance of him being sacked before the end of the season is gone now.
I agree, soft cap penalties and cost of paying out contract couldn’t see it happening.It was never a chance, Port will honour his contract
Don’t the baggers have Andrew Russell on their staff & he’s touted to be the best fitness conditioner in the AFL. Surely he had a plan in place to cover that 5 day lay over, whilst our conditioning guy had 5.5 days to get Port ready for the Friday night clash.5 day break thing is so fking dumb why is it even being mentioned?
We’ve come off 5 day breaks before and the commentators never even talk about it.
If you’re a flag contender you need to win off a 5 day break.
If you can’t win at home particularly with the umpires gifting your curly haired ****wit goals then you have far bigger issues.
Oh and great call about the horny Hornet![]()

Yes. You are correct. The problem was that the flag was loose, flapping at the back and not properly tucked away. If it was properly folded and properly positioned, then the ball would not touch it.The flags are considered part of the post, so it isn't crossed till iit is past them. Maybe that rule could be changed, but it has always been the rule.
Hawkins was on Fox last night where he said the Rat was a good forward at Geelong but was moved to defence as the Cast had a plethora of forwards but some retirements forced the Rat to play down back for team balance.Maybe someone can chuck up the stats of sav playing forward “not working” at geelong. I have a feeling some of the games he was competing for the same ball as generational forward tom hawkins.
Cool, see how he goes against the first choice key back.Esava isn’t a natural forward but I’d pick him ahead of Dixon every day of the week
I quit liked Frankie near the boundary line working in the phone box; first one way and then the other way, fakes to kick it backwards before he calmly centred the ball to facilatate Rioli's goal.It was a great team effort last night. Even whipping boys Dixon and Frankie did team first efforts... although Frankie do not dribble ever again.
*Knockout finals only.The bad news about last nights result is that if we meet Carlton in finals then you can put a loss in the book.
IYKYK.
I hate the Muppets running our club as much as the next guy but damn, allow some joy in your life.There was not much to get excited about that win, unless you're an eternal optimist.
This will sound negative but being at the game I think this was much more about Carlton than about us.
After half time Carlton were completely out on their legs. half their side had hands on their hips and were chilling it around with 2 quarters to go. It was as obvious as anything Port were going to steam roll over the top.
Unfortunately many will think it was just a reflection of us being really good rather than that being more about Carlton.
