Toast Round 6 = Collingwood 123-81 Port Adelaide

[whiskeytown]

Tremendous

Made me eat my words regarding their current form and capabilities this year

FWIW top 4 is a tall, tall mountain to climb from here

Starting with a 5 day break and a confident Essendon on Anzac Day

 

[GreekLunatic]

Good to kick 120 odd point I think the bye had us not switch on at the start

 

[Hardas]

Weren’t they supposed to cut us up in the middle?

THAT was a real statement from our mids.

Did Bobby have the best 1 goal 15 touch game ever?

Essendon got lucky right at the end. I reckon we've got a decent chance of knocking them down a peg or two. But then, ANZAC Day would normally be like a Grand Final to them (as close to finals as they've been for a while anyway), so close to the best will be required to beat them.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Our midfield was more Buttery,Horney & Rozzee.

Hate the Pear.

 

[Dubaimagpie]

Great win

We are slowly getting our mojo back.

Yes.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Our supporters are amazing.

65,834 in attendance today which is a record H&A crowd for Port Adelaide.

Definitely slow to warm up. Like their brains were still in bye mode and they hadn't realised yet they'd actually started playing again.

That's a bit spicy. It'll burn on the way out tomorrow morning, hey Kochie?!

THAT was a real statement from our mids.

Port's mids, on the surface, are supposedly one of the strongest combos in the competition. But when you actually take the time to dig deep beneath the surface, their frailties are thrown into sharp focus.

 

[BigVic]

No need for the defibs. 3-3 heading into a huge Anzac Day clash with a 5-day break.

We have form after an 0-3 start to the season

Won't need to go to the curry house on the way home. Probably should stay away from the Pepsi Max as well, the bubbles will just increase the burn factor.

Welcome back Naicos!!! Welcome back Collingwood!!! But what a team win, Lippa, Hyphen, Cameron and Bobby were also fantastic!

 

[SouthernPie]

Our midfield was more Buttery,Horney & Rozzee.

Hate the Pear.

It was just so extraordinary (thankfully) how little impact Butters and Rozee had after that initial burst.
JHF though is a magnificent footballer.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Naicos is a god.
30 disposals.
15 Contested possessions (game high)

Well,that was a good win,probably our best performance of the year.It just shows you what we can achieve when we up the pressure and play our natural game.I don’t know what happened in the first quarter,but the players were able to turn it around very quickly in the second quarter,thank God.

A big shout out to Hoskin Elliott.I thought he was great especially in the first half when we were struggling to score.He might have just reinvented himself as a forward.God knows we can do wth someone who can take a mark down there.

 

[3rdMan]

Power's midfield gets talked up a lot, but their defensive running is poor. As long as we keep up in clearances we usually have them. It's why players like Hosk and Pat were able to get on top.

Very impressive win, pretty much a repeat of last year despite the slow (possibly bye induced) start.

Cox keeps the glove forever, his best game in ages

He's a machine. Must have had a good oiling in the bye, because those are impressive numbers in most people's language.

what a win . After that first quarter I was almost on the play the kids train!

Magpiegirl is going to be spuing we won!

They're very small. Rozzee is built like Nick, Butters is similar (has a hard head though), and Drew is fairly slight. Wines is huge but glacially slow now. Horne-Francis is their best athlete, but can go missing.

Defensively you can expose them.
