What a mark by Shanahan to save the game. That was insane.

 

[mattis117]

Lol. Tbh I am glad the Eagles are doing better. It's been boring as having them be totally shit. Makes the build up to the derby a bit spicier.

He’s like Josh Treacy, maybe two years ahead of schedule.

Their talls are very good.

Get ready for 1/5th of a page of tomorrow's The West to be dedicated to our game

We'll be lucky if they remember we played.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

lol Port. How bad do you have to be to lose to the eagles at home? Eagles are definitely building and Port are in free fall

 

[Kapow!!!]

Mentally tough unit too this West Coast team. They seem to win those big moments if they're in the game. They're on the way up and I wouldn't be surprised if they upset quite a few this season

 

[Wilksyy]

To the Port board! Sack Hinkley Carr must be in full swing.

 

[Lach72]

Port and Essendon are the two teams with zero hope.

Absolute hot garbage both of them.

In Ports case their best player is going to bail out.
At least they’ll get three or four picks for him, but there’s so much trash on the list they’re going to be shit for years.

Essendon are worse

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

That’s a good win by a young group.

Port are absolute trash though

Will be a reality check against Swans next week

Has Petty shaved his head

 

[largebus]

Sack Carr

 

[swanny1234]

Damn Port really suck.
Sadly Coasters have some talent and are on the way up. Hope we still beat them in a few weeks.

Probably, but first time in 5 years they don’t look look c grade amateurs

Should get a tattoo of Vossy in on it if he has

As long as it’s not us.

 

[BREATHLESS_987]

Yeah fair play - I was certain they would have a come down after last weeks win, the way young teams tend to do.

Port on the other hand, straight to the bin.

 

[swanny1234]

Yep we play them in a few weeks straight after gather round.. Déjà vu from the other year after that horrible Carlton and port games.

 

[Perfect Purple]

Has Petty shaved his head

Yes

 

[stax on the mull]

What was Yeo's injury? He seemed to be off the ground in the last quarter - maybe earlier but I wasn't paying close attention until the last quarter. Only 35% game time. Brodie 2nd lowest time on ground with 42%.

Did the umps make a mistake with that double grab mark to Horne-Francis. I saw the call was touched but it looked clean to me.

 

[hoss]

Carlton showing up just how bad Melbourne really are.

The West? Actually vaguely remember it from about 30 years ago.

I wonder how much buyer’s regret Kozzie has now…
He’s signed on for no success in the rest of his career

I give it another fortnight of this before the masters of the universe populating the MCC bar start trying to sheet all of it home to how much money they're paying him.
