Match thread

Salopek's trade value has gone up a couple of percent tonight. May justify a first rounder after all.

As good as Port looks, the fact is that this is probably the weakest Brisbane has looked in at least 5 years. And a 2004 Port side would have buried this Brisbane side by 100+ points.

Damn right on Sal...hes been excellent tonight.

Pearce finds White, 35 out, slight angle. Send it home Whitey. Send it home...............misses. Handy point tho. 31 points in front

Trying to shut up shop with 8 minutes left, we could still lose this one.

 

[Macca19]

Well done Port, good performance tonight and gives us the chance to have it in our hands next weekend at home to Freo.

[spookism]

Great win in the end by the boys.

S. Burgoyne was fantastic, K. Cornes was the same old same old, C. Cornes was great all over the ground, Salopek and pearce proved why they should be part of the 22 next year, Casissi I thought was awesome especially in nullfing Akermanis and Wakelin played a good game even though he was playing against a injured? Borwn!

 

[Santos L Helper]

Good win and some improvement from certain players. Monty (one of my faves) was great again!

Jesus, do we have to 'shut up shop' 10 minutes out? It's going to cost us a game sooner than later.

 

[Power & Proud]

Just seen the boys sing the song. They sung it with most pride and passion they've done it since the Grand Final.

Go POWER! We love you guys!

 

[kaysee]

Boys sung the song with great gusto tonight.. I believe the entire team is really starting to get a sniff of the finals and FINALLY.... THEY WANT IT.

Port will make the finals... make no doubt about it. And they will start to send the shivers through other teams.

My only concern is Williams trying to fit too many players back into the team in Primus, Francou and Pickett... at the expense of some young players. Chaplin, Grew and Pearce MUST stay IMO... as should Brogan and Lade or are working well together.

Cheers

Something to look forward to there

 

[Jabsy]

For the gametime he has had, Salopek has played a blinder.

Good to see the boy try and do the right thing by upping his trade value.

Agreed Scott.

No need for Francou to return. The midfield worked better without him tonight.

If you were gonna do the song after the game, you needed to include pics of Wilbur having cups of drink tipped on his head.

The only in on that list is Pickett. A big game player and round 22 (and hopefully onwards) are the big games for us.
