Kane Corn is saying we’re an arrogant side

Personally i didnt like Fyfe giving Gray a rub on the head. but the rest of the stuff Kornes has brought up is laughable. Salty

How good is S Hills right foot for a lefty?

That kick was so good the commentators didn't even realise it was a non-preferred foot kick.
Years ago when I lived in WA & used to attend training at times, Stephen was the only player I noticed using his opposite foot in the warmup "drill" where there would be 2 horizontal lines of players & each player would kick back & forth with one other player.
Practice makes perfect.
Hilly is my favourite player to watch, so I'm pumped he's back.
Really good games by Conca & Brayshaw.
Logue was excellent
Fyfe superb
Ryan second best on
Son Son has AA locked in, 3 Brownlow votes for this game & the admiration of the whole footy world
Great work by Darcy as well

Wilson had a really intense jumper punch session and some port guy came off with blood rule. Anyone see that?

#29 kicked a few

#10 doesn't miss

2. It would be worthwhile giving Hogan a spell in 6 or so weeks. With the hard surface and he naturally running gait, there is significant pressure in his joints.

Send the B team to Tassie again.

Congrats on the win guys! Port melts are a plenty whinging about the free kick count.

You guys just had more balls in the 4th to get it done against a mentally inept power outfit who couldn’t exploit their so called advantages.

I am celebrating with you guys!! Heave ho!!

Kane Corn is saying we’re an arrogant side

Ah yes Kane Cornes - the bloke who left Port early to become a firefighter and lasted a whole year. Now he makes his living trying to start fires by baiting people. You might say he's a master baiter.

 

[Joao]

I don't mind Cornes to be honest. He does produce click bait there is no doubt, but he often has good points that get missed because of it.

If we are getting ahead of ourselves then I hope someone does point it out.

#10 doesn't miss

As great is #10 is and has been #29 could kick them from 50m plus and sonny struggles at anything over 45m.....still we are lucky to even have this conversation - both greats of our club and the competition.

I think the behaviour was game specific and a reaction to poor sportsmanship by the port players. Started with the attack on Brad Hill. Good on Walters for flying the flag. Butters was involved in a lot of niggle behind the play, not just over acting in front of goals. And the shooting mime by Walters was clearly directed at Duursma.
Remember round 1, when the first game players for Port targeted Max Gawn? That’s arrogance for you. Kane Cornes should be calling out Power players who have been drinking their own bath water.

Sorry, but Cox has the agility and speed of the titanic and I have been pissed off at what appears to be his lack of second effort and going up for marking contests with one arm. He’s lucky Tabs and Lobb are both injured.

I was about to post something similar. Looked slow and lumbering yesterday, but didn't shirk the contest when he was needed.

Yeah look I’m definitely not a fan (namely cause of his need to sensationalise ) but do acknowledge he can make some decent points .

At first was wondering what he was on about , other than Hogan’s footsteps gesture ,as at the game it’s hard to pick these things up .
Then Watching that segment I actually didn’t realise the amount incidents the players did take the piss out of their opponents.
And to be fair I did think Kane was reasonably measured in how he put his case across.

With all that said , at this stage it’s pretty much a non issue AFAIC .
For starters it obviously doesn’t happen every game.
Secondly I’m not sure most of its not related to our opponent.

For those that can remember since their breakout year of 2014 port players have had rep for trash talking (was indicative of many of their supporters too I might add) and have had a bit of history with our side stemming I think mainly from knocking us out finals in2014

Hartlett in particular , has a known league wide rep,but gray as well ,Powell pepper , boak ....(wines and wingard liked a chat too but obviously weren’t playing) just to name a few,while butters and dursma don’t mind a bit of cheek for first year players.

I think ll you ll find , apart from Hogan’s one-Jesse naturally got a bit of swagger and as our big key forward I love that, most of it was related to one upmanship back at their port opponents.
Particularly Walters/Fyfe on gray

Anyhow everytop team I’ve ever known has a touch of arrogance about it .
Provided it doesn’t become a habit and nothing to suggest it will I say
Bring it on!

 

[Scham]

Port seem to try and compensate for being a generally mentally weak side by adding the niggle and chat. Interesting though that it’s mostly their younger players, that club is devoid of leadership. Outside of Boak, they’ve got no one that consistently stands up when the game is needed to be won.

Skills - look it will be an issue all year
Bewley - love his direct hard kicking
B Hill - love how he always lowers his eyes entering forward 50.
Darcy - fitter than i thought he was
Walters - AA, 3 votes, 10 coaches votes, and it looks like he has dropped some of the little staging stuff he used to do.

I'm obviously not at the game so I don't get to see a lot of that stuff.

I guess my point is, just because Cornes said it, doesn't mean its not true. Of course, it doesn't mean it is either.

A little bit of arrogance is an absolute necessity for the best of the best. You have to know you are awesome, to be awesome. You don't have to be a **** about it though.

Just like us under CC. All niggle and aggro but when push came to shove couldn't deliver time and time again.

Was just admiring his new haircut lol

Any danger of big Darcy getting looked at for his sling tackle today? I don’t want to pre-empt anything, but the MRO seems obsessed with penalising players for these ones at the moment.

On the replay it didn’t even look like it should be a free kick

Trying to ignore it. They didn't replay it.

Might have been Butters, as I noted when he did his “mayonnaise flop”, his nose had tape on it.

 

[FreoGirl]

Jeez Walters set shot kicking is the best the clubs ever had,can't think of any one better ever.
Hopefully his pure genius gets shared with our other forwards.

We lost him pretty early last year and the media seem to forget what a huge loss he was

Winners are grinners - losers can please themselves.

If we're going to be called out it needs to be by someone with some credibility, and not an ex-player from the team we've just beaten.

Cornes can stick it.

Winners have parties, losers have meetings.

 

[electricfeel]

Port were giving it to us as well. It goes both ways. I loved the added spice. It was one of the better games this year to be at. Watching the replay the commentators enjoyed the extra physicality too.

Kane Cornes just being a sook and biased.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Walters must surely be a sneaky Brownlow chance?

Kicked what, 30 goals in half a season? Moving into the midfield under the umpire's nose, he's got that mix of lots of touches and good ones, and he's recognisable. I'd have him as our second All Australian lock along with Luke Dye-an.
