In the last five minutes or so, clearances were 5-1 our way.

Did we shift something or regression to the mean?

[Mantis]

Good effort to keep the margin to that given how bad the start was.

[SonofScray]

Don’t seem to be managing the conditions well, tentative approach of the contest and long bombs forward.

Stride for stride, we should get on top at some point, but there’s a few signs that they can hurt us, Rioli looks dangerous on Cleary, the clearances seemed more definitive when Sweet got first hands on it.

[jeemak]

That's disgraceful Marcus. Just no sensitivity to the conditions.

Good boy again Bukes. Lovely finishing.

Geez I thought our tactics for the conditions were great. Forward entries a bit disappointing in the first quarter with the long bombs but I wonder if it was a bit tactical...put it in, create the contest, get the scrappy goal. We werent kicking 45m set shots at that end.

Bevo always sets us up well at Ballarat, imo.

The goalkicking coach said he put it in the right spot. Wtf.

[chef]

Good boy Colonel

[jeemak]

Get off my TV Naughton.

[chef]

My God Naughton, professional footballers should be kicking that

[EasternWest]

So we gonna get the usual tired old post of how sick of the umpires cheating we are when the free kicks are going our way?

[jeemak]

Great quick hands from VDM.

[chef]

Haha Laith is such a shit stirrer

[jeemak]

So we gonna get the usual tired old post of how sick of the umpires cheating we are when the free kicks are going our way?

Yes.

I'd be livid at some of these decisions if I were a Port fan. That Rozee one was a shocker

[SonofScray]

Looking more patient with the footy into the wind. Reading it better, except the finishing.
