With Port playing WWT in the sanfl at the same time, the race between the Free kick against counts should be spectacular.
 
Finlayson, really? I never want to see him pull on a Port Guernsey again. What could the coaches have seen in that last quarter that said pick me.

I go in knowing he will offer nothing effort wise and do his usual guarding of space and meandering around aimlessly. Give me a spell.
 
He currently has the currency of a third rounder you know that right

It's important to me that you realise that

I not really sure why that is so important but if that is what you value him at fair enough.

A 28 year old with 150 games under the belt sounds fair enough. Burton has ability and he finds the ball often enough but he switches off and loses intensity which is a nice way of saying he doesn't always like getting the hard ball.

I didn't think Finlayson was that bad playing up forward last week when he came on. His 2023 was pretty good as he kicked 38 goals and took 102 marks across 22 games. In 2019 playing for GWS he kicked 44 goals and took 112 marks across 23 games. Those are not bad stats for a tall forward and show that he can be of value. However, I have to admit that Jeremy's last few seasons have been backward stuff and there may be reasons for that. It is Finlayson's defensive effort that is in question and he should not play in defence. I don't mind him as a tall forward option backing up Smart in the ruck and in any case I do not think we have anyone else who can play that role atm.
 
I note, with great trepidation and touching wood with every digit, that we have not had a goal-less quarter yet this year.

We've replaced that with yet to win a last quarter this year - even in the big win against Richmond they slacked off in the fourth and got outscored.

You. I blame you. ;)
