Port looking every bit like a team intent on eclipsing our 21 unanswered goals against Essington.

Was the mighty Stringer playing?

Neither of these teams impresses me

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

I respect Sydney. The Academy is obviously bullshit but they’re excellently run and excellently coached, and all of their players seem to always reach their potential. Happy to see them do well.

Plus their supporters were so nice to us in the GF week.

Yeah, I have nothing against them. They're simply utilising the system for their own advantage. The other clubs need to blunt the advantage.

Look I kind of agree and disagree at the same time. They've been the most highly subsidised club in the history of the game and have had plenty of moments over time where they've taken the piss (or allowed to take the piss, i.e. COLA) and respond in a bellicose manner when people speak out against them.

Agree they were quite gracious in defeat for the most part, apart from the sooking about umpiring after the Grand Final and the subsequent game in 2017.

If only Kosi Pickett slipped a few more places in the 19 draft would have been an awesome addition. That comment was 1 min before his last quarter goal so good tonight.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

He's definitely looked lively, and the type we could use. As he matures he should tidy up things a bit as well.

Overall this has been a pretty choppy game skills wise, at one stage in the third both teams were just butchering it non-stop.

Zac Jones is a great candidate as the poster boy of average footballers who have a decent year at a new club and stink it up thereafter. Might be going early with him but I've just never rated him.

Tonight was a great example of why having small quick forwards is only great if you can use the ball quickly to get it into their hands and have a system that consistently enables it. Butler, Higgins and Lonie were all shite tonight.

If only we didn’t snitch on ourselves and make it known we were going to take him first you mean. We just get way too excited sometimes.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

Gee Gary Rohan's round arm on Neale didn't look to great. Had shades of Barry Hall.....just not quite the connection. Behind play, off the ball.

Reckon Sellwood is in trouble too on the sling tackle. No damage done, but if the AFL is serious its about potential for damage as much as actual damage. Should be a week

Won't this now be addressed somewhat with the rule changes for round 1 selection.

It will be a great outcome if a rule specifically brought in because of us (JUH) actually gives more equality to everyone.

I believe the rules only apply to NGA prospects, not the Northern academies set up to grow the game up there.

He sure was ... in the magoos.

Others will need to attest though whether he was borderline banging the door down.

Wasn’t overly impressive but I assume he was just coasting to get through the game. Did get his customary over the back major from the goal square which was nostalgic.

Re: AFL Game Day R2 2021

Just watching a bit of the Hawks / Tigers game and Martin is doing what he likes again.
I was thinking when our turn comes to play Martin who do we put on him?
Could we try The Dutchman? He has speed and aggression seems to tackle well I don't know how he would go when Martin is resting forward.
Our backs wouldn't be able to go with him unless we go with Duryea or Crozier but he could be too agile.
The third option would be for Cordy to put a knee in the back of his head so he gets a two week break.
