Who will the rat from St Scum go to , Heens or Chad

Hopefully Warner. I rate him as a player, he's obviously a gun and he's irrepressible when he's there and on fire. But we are 10-4-1 averaging 102 points and a winning margin of 35 points in games without Warner the last four years for a reason. What he brings we don't desperately need in order to be a functioning, firing team, it's just very, very nice to have. Tag a workhorse who 'does it all', so to speak, like Heeney or Gulden, and it puts a lot more pressure on others to have big games to try and fill their shoes.

That's my philosophy on tagging at least - apply the tag that will have the biggest knock-on effect for 3-4 players, not just the one you're worried about.

Great insight to the game mate, being there live I can see all those points to the value that they add.

The Rowy point is interesting too, he is indeed our best tackler, but is that enough given his possession/ball-use count? Good question.

Rowy is having the weirdest season. He's rarely awful, still been decent in most games, but he just cannot get off the canvas at all in 2025. Hasn't played a single game this year that's been anywhere near his best from previous years, and we're now up to round 16. This would maybe be standard fare for some of the less proven, less quality players on the list who typically have form issues (like a McLean for example), but for a guy who has been one of our best and most consistent players over the last 3-4 years, it's kinda bizarre.
 
Watching the game back I thought there was a visible drop in our intensity in the back end of the third quarter. It seemed like all of the inaccuracy, and the work we'd done that had gone unrewarded, had taken the wind out of our sails. It was impressive the way we hung on and then rallied again to secure victory in the fourth.

In the game these days it's obviously hard to be perfect for 100 minutes
I thought we should've won by 40 to 50 points

Agreed.
Compare the numbers against Port, who had better: Chad or Errol in his first game back?

Also, in the 1st Q, why wouldn't you use Amartey, who was running to position, instead of a speculative 'chiseller' kick from 45m? A J.Horne-Francis would have done the give-n-go and run on to goal.

Might seem harsh, but is being well remunerated. Or may be injured.

Tonight honestly reminded me of the early parts of last year where teams just made basic skill errors against us and we would roll up on them and create havoc on the turnover. It gives me pause of how good we can be, because not everyone coughs the ball up without pressure, which the Power did.

Our pressure rating was over 200 for most of the match. Compare that to Port, 136
