That's what he said.Top review Ant Bear, but from watching the telecast I'm pretty sure Cornes was on Mitchell all night? And absolutely pantsed him at that.
Gonna sound harsh but I don't think Mitchell is up to AFL standard. Too many mistakes, can't kick over a jam tin and tackles don't stick. O'Shea and Moore are closer to best 22 than Mitchell.
Agree with O'Shea being more worthy of a spot but the problem is our backline is so stacked he can't really slot in unless it's on the wing, and I'm not sure if he's comfortable there.
I was thinking similar during the game.We took too long to bring Ah Chee into the game, IMO.

A gutsy win by the boys after a very hard month of footy.
To all the doomsayers who didn't think we had a chance after losing Ollie and Robbie I look forward to seeing your apologies for doubting we could win in this thread please.
Still way too hyper on adrenaline and lack of sleep to make sense but that was absolutely brilliant. Totally Port Adelaide proud this morning. Maybe the best H & A win of the Hinkley era?
Hawthorn's time wasting after free kicks needs to be stamped out. Blatantly obvious and the umpires don't do a thing about it.
Even when Westhoff had been paid a 50m penalty, Lewis was basically walking in front of Westhoff so that the Hawthorn players could flood back before Westhoff was at the mark.
Pisses me off to no end.
So basically, the cleanerTo beat hawthorns precise keepies off football, you have to apply manic pressure and take your chances. We did that for the first half... And we did it bloody well. The problem with manic pressure is that it's difficult to maintain, especially with interrupted preseasons, underdone players and three tough, bruising previous matches. To the hawthorn supporters grumbling about taking away the first 10 minutes, you need to realise that we've developed a way to beat your game plan. You had no answer to our football until we began to tire. We couldn't maintain the intensity and then hawthorn got on top, played the game on their terms, structured up and we had no answers. I fear this will be the same for our next few encounters with the Hawks. Games of swinging momentum. We have the game to beat them, but we can't maintain it for full games, or going on the last two matches, more the Han 2 quarters. We played the match tonight like the racehorse that goes hard at the beginning and then holds on for dear life once the tickets are spent. Thank god our racehorse has a lot of ticker and we were able to hold on. What a win under the circumstances and we'll be stronger for it. Watch out hawthorn if we can get fitter and stronger and be able to maintain that pressure and intensity for more than 2 quarters!
Great team you guys are .. deserving of the win
Great fight back. I left the game with stomach in nots! Had to get a couple of glasses if red in when I was home to sleep!
