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.

Iā€™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 wouldnā€™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 itā€™s great to see they are developing his game in different ways.

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

Luamonā€¦ I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen him nail anything.

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

Hobbs and Setterfield are doing what youā€™d expect of them.

Bryan playing the standard Bryan game. Solid in the ruck, havenā€™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 heā€™s definitely not risen to.

Green shoots ?

The ball sure doesnā€™t like bouncing clearly for him!

I recon the club rates Hobbs higher than Tsatas atm.

I think the opposite if Tsatas cleans up heā€™s kicking he could be elite Hobbs on the other hand I donā€™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.
