From the match day thread, in the second quarter.

Well colour me happy in red and black.

Am eagerly awaiting with great anticipation of BakerWasAStar’s analysis of this weeks game.

After reading his analysis of last week’s match and the stats that he provided about how the players effort was there but we couldn’t stop Ports spread, I felt a little bit better about last week. It really was one bad half and the last 90 secs of the first half that was bad.

The focus clearly this week was to keep the game contested and prevent them from getting their outside game going. Worked a treat.

Over to you now BWAS.

The F111 is a (aptly named) bomber, but you should bring it nonetheless.

If that happens the lid will have broken orbit.

I tipped them! I did not see this coming.

Damn! Just checked my FLR tips and for some unknown reason went with the Doggies. Earlier this week l would have gone for Essendon. Oh ye captains of such little faith!

I said to a mate at halftime if Parish and Laverde weren’t liabilities we’d be up by 6 goals… both made amends in the 2nd half. Huge shoutout to Durham, Jones, Caldwell, Cox, Duursma, Merret, Goldstein, Langford, Stringer and any I missed. Must win game and we did that and more.

I see what you did there…

Apparently he has a huge ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  and has to lean back to even out the weight distribution, or he’ll topple forward.

It’s simply because he’s still so thin and at the speed he goes, the wind is holding back the top half of his body.
As he gets stronger/bigger, the wind he generates won’t hold him back as much.

Will finally get to it later today.

Kid seems a bit arrogant. Settle down Rookie. You’re 5 games in. This isn’t Tasmania.

Wowee Adelaide game is massive.

A chance to rectify the port performance on the same ground.

If we lose then we’ll know for certain that we are essington and no better than a middle of the road team

nice feeling starting weekend wih a win compared to last week.

Adelaide are gettable.
but also you cant just pencil it in. Bring the same team and intensity and were a chance.

with cox moved out of defence to wing would consider Hayes if their is a matchup. Be nice to get a look at him before Ridley is back.

Don’t think there will be a match up unless they bring gollant in.

We’d go mckay on tex.

I can’t stand Laverde but he will get another game and will take Fogarty.

But even gollant. Redman can take him if they had enough confidence for him to take Sam Darcy.

Must be nice for McKay Duursma and Goldy to play in front of packed crowds.

Feel they will enjoy the bigger games at the G.

looking forward to next couple of weeks.
