    How did Port not score a goal in that quarter?

      This is just about Easton's worst game ever

        Easton tried hard for them too.

          Easton is really out of form at the moment. I'm not discounting his ability to come back, but whatever he's showing in the nets, ain't translating out to the middle of the pitch.

          Overall a very good response to the last couple of weeks, and some smart coaching so far.

            It’s like the AFL want an Adelaide final with a home crowd. Getting nothing from the umps.

              He’s barely VFL standard tonight. Dump kicks, fumbles, munging everything.

                Pressure and defence. And some terrible misses....

                What percentage of that quarter did Bont play forward? Felt like >60%.

                  If you’re counting. 12 frees to them, 6 to us.

                  It’s not the doubling. It’s whats being paid for them, and not paid to us.

                    Honestly, there could be something in this. The umpires and commentators have a CLEAR bias for port tonight.

                      I don’t know how we hold on from here but I hope we do. We got nothing going that quarter and don’t look like scoring. Where did Bont go that quarter?

                          Too many poor handballs and fumbles, I also think they are a bit harder around the footy at the moment. Allir body lines it more than 5 of our guys and walks through. Those sort of things happened several times.

                          Need a lift from Bont, Macrae and Libba. Boak is absolutely slaughtering us around the footy.

                            Some unbelievable holding-the-ball calls, paid and not paid.


                            Re: the ruck, has English contested anything outside the F50? I don't have a huge issue with Young as #1 ruck, but I'm surprised we're running Hannan as #2 instead of Tim (who, btw, needs to take a faaaarking mark).

                              The midfield is still a big concern.

                              I just don't think we're going to see the best of Treloar or Dunkley this year and it'll cost us.

                                I think we're in a good spot. We've seen how Port responded to our first quarter, and we've now got the opportunity, with a 3 goal lead, to try and respond in kind.
