AFL 2019 Round 1: Melbourne v Port Adelaide, 1:45pm AEDT MCG

[SterlingArcher]

SPP is . A genuine liability who should really be out of the side when Wines comes back.

The talk was Drew would be out for Wines. Based on today, that'd be ridiculous.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

We look well short of a gallop, in awkward hot but humid conditions. Almost all of our good players are playing s**t.

And agree with the umpiring, definitely feels like we are getting a good run of it.

 

[Quinz]

Lycett continuing his PF working over of Gawn. Be interesting to see if other two ruck teams try it.

Dees would have to consider Preuss if it continues.

 

[gordo2016]

Powell-Pepper is atrocious. Carries on like he’s a top-line player, but isn’t even a B-grader.

He is playing with a bit of spirit though and wants the ball, that is what you need. You cannot say the same for some of Melbournes players.

 

[Interstater]

It does look bad, but in saying that most of the Demons frees were there.

And that is how the bias is executed, every 50/50 for Melbourne is paid, every 50/50 for Port is ignored.
We were absolutely raped in that first half.

4k looks awesome on fox

 

[PAFC_1870]

Umps...errr..not killing the game but I am glad I don't barrack for Port

It's ok mate I don't even care anymore, I just expect to get shafted.

 

[rumply]

Sorry, when were they champs?

Because Garry Lyon, Paul Rood and Robbo said they were?

Play like champs, not that hard to understand.

Free kick Demons.
Gun Port Kids keep game in the balance.
Port bully Melbourne

 

[JAlexG]

But wasn't the premiership race between Richmond Collingwood and Melbourne?

Easy chief. We’ve seen 10 quarters involving those teams.

 

[Chaisa]

And that is how the bias is executed, every 50/50 for Melbourne is paid, every 50/50 for Port is ignored.
We were absolutely raped in that first half.

True. I am in no way saying that Melbourne aren't getting a decent run at it.

 

[Power Raid]

port's youth's fitness will be tested

 

[PAFC_1870]

He is playing with a bit of spirit though and wants the ball, that is what you need. You cannot say the same for some of Melbournes players.

This, the endeavour is there. You can't teach that, he'll be cleaner some days.

 

[smasha]

Shading the cheese platter
Port kids fire
free kick Dees

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Haven't watched any of the game. What's the 3 line summary?

Melbourne started well, probably should've been up by more.
Port dominated since, probably should be up by more now.
Ports kids have been unreal, particularly Duursma

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

WC really provided a template for how to rattle Melbourne. They are going to need a plan B.

Also, Oliver is such a flopper.

 

[Smedts_2]

Super impressed by the quality of Port’s disposal. And their kids look awesome.

 

[rumply]

Awful jumper the Port one, reminds me that abomination Essendon wore for a couple seasons.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Petracca is Watts without the coke habit

 

[Xtreme]

Carn Port Power

Would be good to see an upset win. Port Adelaide away from home defying the odds and tipping!

 

[Foreign Legion]

It's ok mate I don't even care anymore, I just expect to get shafted.

It is just the soft ones Melb get and Port get nothing like it.

No absolute howlers but I'd be pretty pissed off if I was following Port. Still, they look good but this second half will tell us a lot about Melbourne I think.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Going through Melbourne's team I'm not sure why they're fans are so excited or why they're rated so highly in premiership betting. It's an average side in reality.

 

[smasha]

Awful jumper the Port one, reminds me that abomination Essendon wore for a couple seasons.

Don’t mind it.
