Port supporters are melting on their board because Cornflakes subtlety suggested that Gray was more focused on getting a free kick than trying to protect himself.

I called it this morning after seeing the various camera angles, Thomas is definitely on the money.

I think the Freo guy deserves 1-2 games because he unnecessarily slung Gray to the ground when the ball had spilt free and the tackle was over the boundary line. Having said that, Gray just seemed to go limp and tried the old hooking the other players arm and using the tackles initial momentum to get a free kick. He didn’t bank on the guy actually trying to dump him and as such, did absolutely nothing to protect himself. Had he tried to stand up in the tackle and brace himself, I don’t think the Freo guy has the strength to dump him like that, and he likely walks away fine.
100% agree

Another. Bickley on 5aa said Port have not played 1 debutante this year

The future
Lol
Kenny wouldn’t know how to develope young players
Draftees should be shattered if this club picks them up

Not surprising given they recruited in Watts, Motlop, Rockliff, Trengove, McKenzie, Trengove & Thomas... Particularly the last 3 fringe types who you would normally bring in a younger player rather than an older non-best 22 player.
 
Did the AFL schedule so many s**t-truck games, especially Friday nights, so they could push their agenda about the zones?
No, they just didn't foresee Carlton would really be this crap.

They also got sucked into Bolton's BS that they would improve.

Bottom teams should not be playing Friday night. Simples.

They brought those fringe players in to win a Sanfl premiership, hows that working out for them

Makes me feel like we are being harsh on Burton and Haas. Accountability is zero in this industry.

Those fringe players were recruited for the Port Power SANFL reserve side......and they are set to miss out on the finals.

No, we should hold Burton & Hass to account!

Just because other teams don't, doesn't mean we follow their doing. We don't want to follow Carlton's lead.

Haha, Bickley just said that Dixon is second in the AFL for players who are directed the ball, Ben Brown is first and leads the goal kicking. Dixon is 45th. Dixon is ranked 10th from the top 10 for retaining the ball. The guy has had one decent season, what a waste of money
They've been looking for that key forward missing piece of the puzzle for a while now. Traded in Ryder for that role then realised he was a ruck, then got Dixon who hasn't been what they hoped for either.

If only there had been a talented forward available in last years draft at their first round pick, who they could have developed into that player...

It was a joke. Of course I want to hold them to account. Was just pointing out that not seeing that Carlton is crap and putting them in prime time games in a billion dollar tv deal is even worse than letting an unqualified hack run a $12m team of footy assets into the ground.

For me personally, the damage Burton & Co cooking our season is far worse than watching more movies on Friday night because of a boring game.
