Ollie Wines has won an equal-career high 35 disposals tonight as well as an equal career-high 10 inside 50s. His 636 metres gained is the most of any player in this match and is his third-best ever result in his 132 game career.
And yet I think he was a little ordinary
 
Only a lunatic would have tipped Port tonight.
I did brisbane play a similar style to port.
Also that derby win by west coast had me far from convinced they were even a top four side given that I think freo are gonna finish 14th.
 
Jeezus some people are never happy.
We've lost the last quarter 20 to 11.

Even though we've had 75% of time in our forward half.

Yes the first 3 quarters were outstanding, but that last term was crap.


It was a fantastic night, best win weve had in years, and I'm stoked with the result, but I'm not going to ignore that we did the same thing we did last week in the last term.
 
What in the actual **** did I just witness

7 goal win in Perth when I thought we would get belted by 100+ points is phenomenal.

I think what I’m trying to articulate is he’s a coach who thinks a little different.

If you don’t want to agree with that that’s fine. We didn’t have a great backline last year for nothing.
You got the we didn't have a great backline part right.
Let's just enjoy the win...
 
Well, other than a refusal to defend Petrucelle all night, and an inability to convert from 25m out straight in front, a very good win. Built on the back of ruck and midfield dominance, really good forward pressure and outstanding defending by Howard, Houston, Clurey and Jonas.

We have some players who need to lift though. Westhoff and Robbie look like they’re no longer the players they were. Bonner is a problem. Fumbly and terribly unreliable. Duursma is great when he runs hard, but he plays a really tentative style.

I thought Wines, Ebert, SPP, Drew, Sam Gray and Butters were excellent in those conditions. Marshall was a presence but his set shot goal kicking is a bit of a concern. Ryder and Lycett excellent.

2 final observations:
1. We cannot kick 100 points.
2. Dan Houston is our best player. No ifs, buts or candy nuts.
