Watching at the game I saw him in the middle of 3 of them and thought "Bugger, he's toast here." Then just waltzes out like it's a training run. Not sure if elite from him, putrid from the Power, or both.

Poort have 0 depth.
A few injuries and they look a very flaky team... Outside a flashy midfield, they really are a below average team.
Coke Can Ken is a total one trick pony and a total desperate fool for playing Wozee.

Probably about 9:30pm last night.

At the game I felt better about Cook than I've read on here, so will watch replay for that.
Fog was big. That fake / running shot on the left that only just fell short was Tex-esque.

What is with people praising Ken's presser, and taking the blame for the decision to play Rozee?
'Oh, Ken is so brave, he's taking responsibility.'
Every man and his dog knew that Rozee shouldn't play. Everyone knew he'd be a liability and have a risk of injuring his hamstring further.
'I saw him running and kicking the ball far!'
Ah yes, that should be enough to allow him to play despite a 'nick' in the hamstring, and a high pressure night Showdown match in cool weather after a six day break.
It's not brave. It is trying to get ahead of criticism.
If anything, the decision to play him was negligent, and saying he 'owns the decision' after the match should not let him off the hook.

Speak for yourself. I am all in favour of anything that keeps the heat off Ken Hinkley. I like him right where he is.
Came on fresh for 2 disposals from 26% TOG, so multiply it by 3 for a full game. And that’s him coming on fresh is it? And wasn’t his sole kick a point kick out? Great contribution, his and yours.

Sholl's chase downs where he got nowhere near his opponent and didn't prevent an effective disposal would have been recorded as pressure acts. Gives some indication that not all pressure acts are equal. So saying X player had Y pressure acts is some pretty piss poor analysis without drilling down into the impact on the contest or subsequent contests.
That said it is good to see a player chase and show endeavor, but what is better is when those acts are actually effective.
Just using Sholl as an example, thought he was alright, did some good things including that goal from the pocket. Not a fan though.

Can't be any worse than last week's game when if you just listened to the commentary, you'd think North were just about to overrun us.
Who in the league can do that?
Walker obviously, Fog possibly.
Can’t think of many others that can kick around 50m on their non preferred.

Having taken off from a standing start
Obviously wish he'd kicked it, but was very encouraged by it. One of the signs that Fog might have his confidence back. When he believes he's one of the best players on the field, he is.
Good:
Fogarty finally looking like he should, 9 (4 contested) Marks, 2 Goals and worked further up the ground.
Not sure why but I just love Nankervis, he has coolness and skill in heavy traffic.
Worrell Butts and Keane all with intercept Marks, they have been great all year and one of our strengths ironically. You feel they can handle any forward line at the moment.
Himmelberg, Gollant or Burgess. I don't know, Berg gets to those down the line contests a bit better I feel. Thilthorpe can't come back quick enough!
Bad:
We had a decent night of umpiring, apart from that JHF Push in the back. Watch out next Sunday when every Brisbane player throws their arms out and acts like they have been shot while diving to the ground after a slight bump on the arm.
Wasn't really a night for Cook, needs to find a way to be more involved, why did Curtin get the chop instead of him?
Ugly:
How this Port side beat Essendon by 12 goals is beyond me.
Our midfield got well beaten around the ground in the first half, watching Butters, Houston and JHF just run out of contests is annoying but they kicked it to Dixon who basically gave away free's because he is absolutely rubbish.
Honestly I dont think we will make finals from here unless we beat Brisbane and Collingwood in the next 2 weeks. We have Sydney twice, Essendon away, GWS at home, Geelong away and Brisbane away to come.

Oh dear.... not sure anyone has caught this yet, tempted to let the Port board know...
I've spotted Rozee trying to be subtle and stretch the hammy out less than 5 mins into the first Q.
He then feels his hammy, so you can bet he's aware of it THAT early into the game...
Footage is at 7.45 on the full replay
