Completely off topic, but noticed we had 10 scoring shots in every quarter! 1-9, 4-6, 7-3, 6-4. Wouldn't be too many games where that would have occurred.
It could be
Jacobs: 5 and 4
Sloane: 5 and 2
Walker: 3 and 2
M. Crouch: 4
Betts: 3
B. Crouch: 1
T. Lynch: 1
But either way, one coach (presumably Hinkley) failed to recognise either Matt Crouch or Walker in their top 5. Someone put Tom Lynch ahead of one of them. Someone didn't rate Betts' game, either.
I'm going to do a complete blind guess and say that your spread is correct.
Pyke:
5. Walker
4. Jacobs
3. Sloane
2. M. Crouch
1. B. Crouch
Hinkley:
5. Jacobs
4. Sloane
3. Betts
2. M. Crouch
1. Lynch
Deaneus!

Ugh he's the worst. My brother is a non footy fan and overheard me watching the replay.... "what is wrong with this guy??" was his fresh and unbiased opinion
Just watched the first qtr again, seriously how did westhoff out run Keath I heard lever and Rowie laughing about it on AA tonight
Although Scorpus was adamant he didn't

Explain how he outran him
Watch it he was actually touching him on the half forward line and was about half a metre back when westhoff kicked the goal near the forward square
Lever even said on AA Keath felt like his legs weren't moving

I thought there was a bit more separation. I also think Keath got caught ball watching and that allowed Westhoff to get some metres on him, but once Keath put the hard yards in he almost caught him. I assume this was when he hit the 32km
Nah just watched it again it would have been embarrassing to get beaten by s**t lips like that

No, I agree with that.
Port came out of that quarter in a good position, which despite being dominated for 20 minutes was a huge win for them. Had they fixed s**t, and got some momentum in the second quarter, we would have been looking at this game as a "what if" proposition as we pissed away a golden opportunity; usually when you piss away a golden opportunity, it ends up punishing you in sport.
Thankfully Port were too s**t too punish us.

Keath wasn't catching Westhoff, as they were running at the same pace... but agree with the rest of your post.
Was great to watch the defensive organisation after then, which ensured we had coverage at the back & also patrolled the space to ensure we had Port's measure to rebound the ball.

I was telling my mates it brought back bad memories of our second quarter in the first showdown in 2015. That one where we took control of the game in the second and dominated play only to kick 2.5, and to watch them nail their only shots late in the quarter.
We were very good in general play, but also very lucky that we didnt play a team good enough to punish us for the missing that went on in that first quarter. Better not miss sodas like that in september.
I love that we've got a good amount of campaigner about us now. Bumping and shoving the opposition at every opportunity, getting stuck into them when they make a mistake, it's great to see.

Yep. Throw in the Crouches, Hugh, Knight, Sloane, Kelly, Lever, Laird, etc... it's a tough group.

Yeah, because still being affected by your coach's murder two years ago is an SJW thing. Think before you get outraged eh?

This doesn't make sense.
No way was Walker BOG (but ignored by Hinkley) and Pyke almost certainly would have given Jacobs the 5 points. I can't see Hinkley overlooking Walker's impact on the game, either. Isn't it more likely that Walker got a 3-2 vote split, with Betts 2-1?
Why don't they just say who voted for whom? What's the big secret?

One of the best examples of it is the 98 grand final.
North should have buried us that game, but they gave a sucker a break and paid the price.

I absolutely love his mongrel at the moment. He can barely walk past an opposition player without wanting to smash into them at the moment.

The best thing is it's infectious as well.
Smith, Brown, Gov etc have all be really niggling as well in the past couple of weeks.

The value of it was really driven home to me by listening to Triple M this morning. Dittmar started having a whinge to him that he started roughing up Boak and then Gray after two goals he kicked. I'm thinking that's still what's on his mind?
It gets into the other team's head though. It bothers them, frustrates them, attracts their attention. You can only imagine it's made far worse when he's doing it to you after a big goal at home with the crowd roaring and you know everyone's watching him bully you.
