Really missed Bailey Smith’s run tonight. Last week he was almost the difference in that last quarter against Richmond. Another midfield runner is what we needed in that last quarter.

Who else is there to come in that will make a difference between player 22-25?

Not sure mate. My point is these guys take up a list spot for X amount of years. We may have much more to choose from if we take the picks and draft which in hindsight would be the better option.

We made a tactical (assuming Bruce wasn?t injured) decision at 3/4 time to get some more run on the ground which meant O?Brien had to play tall. It didn?t work? and even more so when our fresh player didn?t touch the ****ing ball for the entire quarter and gave away a crucial free and goal.

Bruce was injured. McLean needed to come on for Lobb or Marra. Probably Marra only due to Lobb being a better chop out in the ruck.

When the game is on the line, Lobb O’Brien Archie Jones didn’t measure up.
Gardner should have played if fit and Maclean instead of Archie Jones.
Apart from Weightman who was terrific in kicking half our score the forward line didn’t
measure up. Bailey Smith was a big loss in a team that lacks leg speed. Lobb has been very disappointing and over rated

The free McLean gave away wasn’t great…. And he didn’t register a disposal. I’m not convinced he’s the answer.

TOB did well until Bruce went off. I think the selection was the right one. We probably should’ve looked to throw Naughton back or do something different.

Overall it’s disappointing to lose. Port deserved the win, but we should’ve won if that makes sense.

Ah well. Onto the next.

What an absolute flop Lobb is looking like.

We're really scraping the barrel in a number of roles.

What an absolute flop Lobb is looking like.

He’s always played like this. Not sure what more we were expecting.

He’s got to finish the few chances he gets each week, at the moment he’s not quite converting enough and he’s not covering ground as well as he should either. Hell build but he’s not a game changer for us at this stage.

So far, yep. Although I was pretty supportive of this at the time.

Has he always looked like he'd rather be anywhere else than on a footy oval?

He kicks those two goals and we would have done his job. Both gettable. But if he is missing those and then not having an impact around the ground he is a liability.

There?s a lot of good to take from this game; Cody back and good, Jones outstanding, English continues to emerge as a top 10 guy, Ed Richards thrashing Charlie Dixon in a one on one, stupid joke bullshit fake game on the road in the wet we won most of, etc. We?re gonna be 4-3, if you?re still here after rounds 1-2 this isn't the point to jump off.

Disappointed I am with the result but yes I like that take on it HD. Very winnable games the next couple of weeks. We had a few key players missing tonight as well.

Aliir only took four marks for the game. It felt like he took 40.

Yeah i was pretty happy with it. I suppose all tall forwards come to die at thr bulldogs. Imagine having our mids (aside from Bont) kick it to you whilst dealing with 3 other forwards trying to mark the same ball....
