2nds Port Adelaide vs Centrals - Round 2 @ Alberton

[RossFC]

What a quarter! What a win!

 

[PJ Power]

Terrific second half performance that I didn’t see coming at HT. Off the back of a colossal game from Hayes, with major contributions from Woodcock, Schofield, Surman, Lienert, McKenzie, Frederick, Garner and Mead.

I love what Lord is already showing.

Good last quarters from Burgoyne and Bergman to top it off.

Garner back in form which is great too

Cant believe the turnaround in that last half.

Seriously that's gone from just a battler team, struggling to match Centrals class in the 1st half. To a side in the 2nd half that was completely dominant in every aspect.

How many Magpies teams have ever held a side to 1 point in an entire half of footy!!!!

Fantastic.

Well done boys, the kids deserve this. Reward for effort. Hopefully this helps give them some confidence and we only improve from here. Get the feeling the Dogs may be a bottom 2 side, so the result might not be huge, but that reward for these guys is a massive jolt to our chances and competitiveness going forward.

How many hitouts does Hayes have

How many clearances too?

Who is prime for selection this week?

 

[RossFC]

Standing ovation from the crowd. Tommy Corcoran is pumped!

 

[Coobk001]

Easily Garners best game in ages.

Hayes a monster.

Loved the signs from Schofield, Mead and Bergman late. Lord continues to show he's got something.

McKenzie and Lienert our best 4 qtr players.

Who is prime for selection this week?

Hayes was massive. Like a man against boys.

Bergmann had a huge last quarter.

McKenzie looked good as did Lienert.

Garner was rock solid too.

The good news is that you could pick Hayes, Lienert, Woodcock, McKenzie, Mead all on form.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Central coach obviously asked them to make "a point" of it in the 2nd half

Hayes, Lord and Woodcock all looked good, but the whole side dominated after halftime.

Will be some happy lads this week.

We can't play last year's defensive tactics this year. As soon as we realised that (well coached) we stopped chasing tail and brought our ball users into the game. That allowed McKenzie and Lienert in particular to position themselves for a mark rather than having to run to guard space.

Best noise and crowd involvement at Alberton for a long time.

Players hit in hard, really hard particularily in the last part of the last quarter, chasing without the ball was sensational.

Big step up for Hayes to AFL fitness and running wise but I reckon his craft and intensity is there.

Well done lads.

 

[Greasyrhys]

No surprise Port ran over the top of a young Dogs side full of no hopers

Who would replace Duursma, Butters and possibly Fanta and Rozee?

 

[AdamMarrett]

Good work by the Preacher.

How'd Hayes go today mate and do you reckon he could come into the AFL side soon mate?

 

[RossFC]

First win at Alberton since August 2019

Wines thinks Butters will play.

 

[chickentendies]

Sam Hayes needs to be played. He is ready.

 

[davesnothere]

Surman noticed had a few taps.
Did he look like he could do a job there if required?

Schofields good, light bodied still but cracks in and uses the ball well. Can rack it up for a player of his size too in good form

He and Lord are performing at a much higher level than their draft status would predict.

He can pinch hit, as can Edwards. But I'd hope Ladhams is the one rucking the majority of the time here next week.

 

[Grave Danger]

Who'd they give b.o.g. to - Hayes? (video stops while they're still waffling)

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Bergman looked fantastic up the ground in the last... His run was excellent as well as taking some good marks.
