LOL @ Gowers. Marks five metres out, runs himself into trouble, misses.

46-50

Would have been his fourth goal.

Wanganeen contested mark at the top of the defensive goal square.

But that was a good mark, and an important one

Hoare takes some very good marks. He has some ability IMO

I know he is a first year player but my goodness Lual has a very long way to go. Gives his player way too much space.

I’m a solitary ā€œHā€ away from being able to say Eyre had a brush with McComb. Not quite.

To me it looks like port are putting time into Tsatas at CBA rather than Hobbs and Setterfield, which I find interesting.

For good reason Tsatas is way more influential than the other two.
Hobbs is an interesting one I wouldn’t be surprised if he left for opportunity he is probably the last on the ladder now for mids that we have.

Interesting that after playing as a free wheeling defender last week we have set him a job on Gowers today. Certainly lowered his colours that half but it’s great to see they are developing his game in different ways.

Wanganeen looks amazing, then stuffs up the basics. I’m taking it as a lot of rust, can definitely see something.

Luamon… I don’t think I’ve seen him nail anything.

Tsatas has been super clean by foot and really hard at the contest.

Hobbs and Setterfield are doing what you’d expect of them.

Bryan playing the standard Bryan game. Solid in the ruck, haven’t noticed a clean contested mark. May have missed them though.

Like Vigo and Hayes.

Much of our movement forward has been a rolling messy maul type of play, just forcing it onwards. Makes it hard to judge the players involved in the chaos.

He struggles a bit with marking and competing in the air. Up against someone quite taller and decent in the air is a big challenge for him. Which he’s definitely not risen to.

Green shoots ?

The ball sure doesn’t like bouncing clearly for him!

I recon the club rates Hobbs higher than Tsatas atm.

I think the opposite if Tsatas cleans up he’s kicking he could be elite Hobbs on the other hand I don’t think he reaches much better than average.
Plus Tsatas is bigger faster and cleaner at stoppages

I recon Tsatas has a higher cieling than most if he can fix his kicking.
I think Hobbs will become a similar type to Jye Caldwell.
