Well it’s true

 

[Ant Bear]

Proud of the win, a truly gutsy effort. Despite the proliferation of dropped marks, missed tackles, sprinker goalkicking and skill errors early, we kept at it, and eventually looked like we found some belief.

Ollie lifted after 1\4 +Kicked the winning goal under pressure.
Trav B played a solid game.
Hopefully Peps has a jarred knee and nothing worse.
Burgoyne won some big moments late in the game.
Burgman becoming a really solid player.
Showdown looks really tricky.But regardless of our team fitness.Crows underperformed 2024 will all come out in the showdown

Thought Sweet was OK. Taps still don't really go to advantage and it's a scrap for every clearance. We lack the confidence of our first few games where we owned the corridor, and seemed to revert to using the wings, even though we don't play wingers anymore, and they're narrow at AO.

If Dante was in form, I’d go with him.

We got lucky with Marshall’s early injury. It allowed the rucks to be a neutral battle. On a night, when our mids were pretty average, we got by.

Sweet is another nullifier. I got frustrated by his efforts to handball out of traffic instead of booting it long , but he was ok.

Marshall is in a real funk. Really disappointing how much he has regressed since his breakout a couple years back now.

Burgoyne tracking great. Clutch play at the end was fantastic.

Sweet was really solid, putting serious pressure on Soldo with tonight's effort.

Not many other positives. Those injuries are going to hurt big time.

Unfortunately we don't play St. Kilda in September.

The only time we've lost to them with Ken was when they played finals, lol.

Same as the only time we've lost to Norf.

What a cesspool of filth that game was.

Odd flashy brilliance but otherwise a pathetic game of football lacking any structure or real skill from a Port perspective.

 

[x_les_x]

BZT was also immense just got in the way everytime the saints wanted to go forward. Just so reliable

 

[glitch01]

Well as much as it was a terrible game as far as our skill level and goal picking go it was a pretty gutsy win.
When we started losing players I fully expected us to just roll over and lose.
As everyone has already said Burgoyne and JHF clearly our best.
Ratogalea actually looked better when Alir went off.
For me the funniest thing tonight was the fact our much loved car enthusiast / full forward proved to be the difference.
Georgiadis was just ok but Marshall was disappointing.

After a scratchy patch, his last quarter was great.

Bergman behind the ball looks so much better for us too. We need to find another wing to let him stay there.

Bit meh about Williams’ game. Nothing like his form from last year. Couple of good marks but lost out a number of contests and looked at sea with the ball coming in fast. Had Burton played like that, we’d be all over him.

We are so far away from being a good team it's not funny, so structurally inept but gutsy win in the end considering the circumstances. Good to see Burgoyne turning it on now, sweet is good . Crows will skull**** us.

 

[Festerz]

Love Ralphy's take here.

Apparently Higgins should be treated lightly on the sling tackle that saw Aliir concussed because:

1. Aliir tried to kick the ball in the tackle and contributed to his own concussion; and

2. Port's Doctor was likely too conservative because he got pinged last year for not being conservative enough.

So our fault.

WTF was that I thought dart was the popular Vic slang for a smoke lol but why say that anyway it's not 1975 with half the team full of smokers.

Flip the script and have SPP doing that to Howard and easy 6-8 weeks

Against the mighty Adelaide crows powerhouse we might actually lose by 200

I mean JHF does have a bit of a 70s pack of darts rolled up in the sleeve look about him.

St Kilda left their attack too late, we probably lose that with another five minutes.

3 weeks

 

[Ant Bear]

At least, after last week's tackle boycott, this week EVERY SINGLE PORT PLAYER recorded a tackle.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Ross Lyon barely even looks like Ross Lyon these days. His features are just melting away with age.

 

[Phar Ted]

Ross saying that SPP has done his acl.

^^not sure if this can really be known at this stage tho

We’ll win. We have the midfield depth to cover Rozee, Alir solves a problem of being too top heavy, SPP hasn’t been great, loved his early minute legit spear jump though.
