Toast Round 6 = Collingwood 123-81 Port Adelaide

[MagpieJoel]

I read about Tredrea claiming it was an improvement over the smashing we gave them last year. I would argue it was worse

Missed that, what a laugh.

You’d have to wonder how much better we would be if we had a dominant key forward in the side.I think we would have won that game by a hell of a lot more if we had such a player on our list.

Don’t you think it was a strategy to go small in the fwd line today?
When ND took the ball in the 2nd QTR from the bounce, and kicked a torpedo chaos ball in to fwd which ultimately led to the Lipinski goal - it spoke volumes for how we were setting up the game.
We wanted to exploit their slow tall backs which we did brilliantly.
A key fwd would’ve been unlikely to add much today.

Coaching and game plan was superb today.

On this day in 1992, Peter Daicos had 30 disposals in a 33 point win over Melbourne at the MCG.

History repeats for Nick Daicos with 30 disposals in a 42 point over Port Adelaide at the MCG.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

It was great to see two champions work themselves back into form today in Moore and Naicos. Both didn't start well, but both finished probably in the top 5 players on the ground...

And to those Fox Footy muppets how does that win sound to you. Your bias during the game was sickening

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.

Okay, anyone who mixes a filthy curry with carbonated drinks is just... a port Adelaide president

As definitive a number 1 selection there has been for an age.

Would you take him above Nick?

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Yes.

Absolutely. He started giving away goals for fun. Probably would’ve had 5 today if didn't pass or tap them off to teammates.
He was electric today.
My tip for the Anzac Day medal. We all know he loves the big occasions.....

We all do it, so I won’t single out anyone. But the first few pages during first quarter are a good read . What an insane turnaround.

3 wins 3 losses. A positive is we’ve played 3 of the current top 4 teams. Slowly building our season.

First quarter? What first quarter? It’s been deleted.

My stupidity saved me from stress today. I got Melb and Adelaide time confused and we were 30 down when I turned it on

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Was listening to the SEN commentary and I’ve never heard Kane so dejected ever lol

I saw Kane walking outside the ground post-match. Didn’t look happy

that's his natural look

Great performances by Lippa and WHE.

Deserves to be acknowledged.

Shout out to WHE, Cox and Lipinski. Fantastic performances.

With about 8 minutes left in the 2nd, Nick Daicos had 6 touches with no impact. He finished with 30 (15 contested), 8 clearances, 14 score involvements and 757 metres gained. Great performance.

Kudos to all three, especially WHE who had his best game in forever. Far out. Multiple contested marks!!!!!

Nick was massive too

 

[doofdoof]

He’ll be a top 5 player in the competition - Has all the attributes.

As definitive a number 1 selection there has been for an age. Super impressive footballer.

JHF is so reminiscent of a young Buckley.

A pretty apt description there.

When you have any connection with Port, that's not surprising.

 

[Rooosterboy]

So is the match day thread worth reading?

Big test next week on ANZAC Day, SANFL clubs should be belted at the MCG.

Aww always good for a laugh, lucky I reminded myself that we're reigning premiers in that first quarter and didn't embarrass myself!

 

[sr36]

JHF is so reminiscent of a young Buckley.

Much more inside than Bucks was early on.

 

[windchimes]

Doesn’t seem we’ll be tanking for picks and playing the kids just yet.

If this side really did indeed have a premiership hangover, then they look as if they’ve just downed their Berocca.

Let’s roll on with it and annihilate these Bomber pretenders on Thursday.

I mean, given we played as poorly as we've played all season, you can't really blame anyone

That was beyond deplorable in the first quarter

Particularly coming of a 2 week break when the excuse most of the season has been "short breaks"

 

[Captivating]

Satisfying, especially the 8 consecutive goals

 

[No SPIN]

Not sure how Rozee can be considered a gun, when he seems like a down hill skier - only prominent in big wins.
So often when the game is there to be won he goes missing.
It would be a concern for Hinkley.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Even better to get home and see Carlscum losing....

 

[stormskye]

JHF kicks that goal, 5 goals up with 16min left in the second. Port 8.3

They only kick another 4 goals. Just amazing resilience.
