Wowee, Port beating Hawthorn 50-8 after 1 quarter. Pretty crazy.

 

[hayes]

FFS I've been looking forward to this game!

 

[Richter]

Port's midfield - Ryder, Boak, Hartlett, Wingard; Gray and Wines not even playing tonight!

Not sure we even have one midfielder who is in the class of those guys...

We're going to need Longer to develop into as good as Ryder (possible);
Billings as good as Wingard (possible but unlikely);
Dunstan as good as Wines (possible);
Steven as good as Gray (not likely);
Armo as good as Book (not possible).

Leaves us 3/4 classy mids short... think that has to be where we focus our draft/trades this next 2-3 years

 

[StFly]

Confession; I like Port as a team, always have as they have arguably always played good attacking footy and generally suffered for one reason or another.

When they're on, they're sexy.

Brian Taylor needs to shut the **** up.

I reckon I'm in the minority here but I actually don't mind him. Probably more a reflection of the current commentator roster.

Can't remember anyones name, calls Pittard "Polec" just before, makes stupid calls about HTB etc. Cannot stand him.

Have a look at comparisons between Boak and Dunstan, and Wingard and Billings in their first seasons. Yes we don't have a Gray or a Wines, but do Hawthorn have a Wines?

You could argue that when Roughy plays on the ball, he's the Wines type

I think Dunstan is our Wines and we still need a Boak. Their first years are remarkably similar, actually. Check this out, it's pretty weird.

Kicks, handballs, disposals, behinds, tackles, clangers, marks inside 50, clearances, rebound 50s, and one percenters are all exactly the same or .1 off.

Dunstan beats Wines, some marginally so, in Marks, goals, uncontested positions, effective disposals, and percent of effective disposals. Wines is beating Dunstan in contested posession by .7. They even both spent about 70% on ground. It's pretty remarkable how similar they are statistically.

Have a look at the comparisons of Wines & Selwood then.

Bodes well for Dunstan.

Dunstan likely to be our Priddis IMO.

do you have their TOG %, as its one thing i am worried about, so hoping you'd put me at ease

 

[HayesTheChamp]

Wines' TOG usually isn't that high. At most it's around 85% if that.

 

[Saint Luke]

Wines is 70% and Dunstan is 68%.

 

[Saintt]

Don't know if we're spoon locks with the way Brisbane are playing.

 

[God Save Max King]

Lions a copy of last year, start slowly due to injury then get their list together and win some games late, showing promise for next year. Still really need a forward.

They weren't losing at home by 50+ to sides as mediocre as West Coast and Richmond level of bad last year.

 

[sverik25]

The way the Lions are playing at the moment we would beat them. We have them in Round 9 so let's hope they don't pick up their form before then.

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Norf were missing a few good players.
Cats were missing a few good players.
cats lose another game at their fortress.
I'll stick by my call that their era is over.

and its about bloody time
