Nights like these just make me think of a certain Jose Mourinho press conference: "In Portugese we have a saying - it doesn't translate well to English - but it is football heritage" Tonight was Hinkley heritage - you know what you're going to get. It doesn't matter who was missing or whether...

Decent second half with all the tall forwards getting involved. Got killed by speed in the first half.

We've let them into the game with our wastefulness. Should still win but gee they make hard work of it all.

The Crows are a seriously average football team. Can't believe I thought they'd make the eight.

Truly historical donuts. But of course all those coaches had super teams, and were fed grapes in between quarters by their harem.

Carlton not handling the pressure and wasteful in front of goal. Should still get up with rotations as they are.

In all fairness Tottenham supporters would snap your hand off for an FA Cup or Europa League. It's a bit different to AFL where there's a time limit to your time at the top - and we're arguably into cycle three of this regime which nobody else has really had without a premiership. We've been...

It's almost as if starting a season earlier than usual is affecting a teams ability to maintain a high level for more than a half. Gold Coast should still do enough to win though.

Yeah - the media is going to go Carlton-bananas this year. And there is no way Brisbane miss as many against Port as they did tonight it would've been 13.1 to 2.0 instead of 9.5. Voss also showing he can make changes to affect a match unlike Dough Dough.

An overall good quarter despite Freo resting their ruck. Liked Mead and Esava. Burgoyne and Bergman OK on the wings. Dixon got his goal meaning coaches satisfied.

I don't know how multiple grown men with experience in the game of AFL look at Dixon and think he belongs in the team in his current state.

Lol Boak kicks that of all goals. Absolute scrapfest football between two squads with a chasm talent-wise.

Fantastic win. Very proud. There is belief growing everywhere now - the players, coaches, and the fans. Still a long way to go but when have we ever seen Port blow Geelong apart in a quarter like that? And then rally to respond to their response. There are no easy games in the run home, and...

Is there a Hinkley dramatic hand-shovel celebration... thing GIF around yet?

A really good win. Held their nerve and lifted when needed. Really liked Drew's game - nobody in the after match said anything. A very consistent year. Winning next week would be huge. Hoping for no injuries.

That should have been our “165”. These things help build confidence and momentum. Adelaide Oval needs to be a daunting place to play away. Adelaide have done that really well this season. They shouldn’t be worried about the Bulldogs - they should back their structure and ability to win out...

This has been pathetic after half time. Zero belief in this lot.

A great win. I went over to the G for round two… I can’t believe this is the same team. They’re playing like a proper hardened team atm. Still many games to play but the team is lifting as needed to cover the holes where in the past they’ve wilted.

6 uninspiring wins in a row

Commentators are grieving

Melbourne going to win by 60+ next Friday night. Irresponsible coaching staff keeping Teakle in.

Really not enjoying the usual commentary turned coaching and encouragement for North.

I know it wasn’t the best win but this team is showing it can regain control in games. Conversion is another issue. Jonas has to be done. Teakle will stay in until Gawn and Grundy mince him into paste and their hand will be forced to go to Finlayson and bring in another small.

A great win where the team was handicapped by horrible officiating and carrying 1-3 passengers. Boak, Finlayson, and JHF played fantastic games. Special shouts to Bergman and Williams being good defensively allowing Houston and Burton freedom to roam. Essendon will be a challenge - but this...

I don’t know how to react - that whole match was Hinkley in a nutshell. Goal-less first quarter, chaos football with uncompetitive forwards, horrible umpiring. All capped off with an unlikely comeback off the efforts of Darcy Byrne-Jones, Jed McEntee, and Jeremy Finlayson. And still staring down...

I just want to know how this list is the strongest under this regime.

Even these commentators are questioning the Free against Lord which seems to have killed the game.

Pasini does some very good and very bad things. The whole playing list is allergic to marking.

Being optimistic there.

This club is an absolute circus. Did Port not have a game at the SCG with a scoreless half? That's a likely result on Saturday night.
