AFL Toast RND 3: Lights Out For The Power

[Yamshologram]

Despite the rough start I've been impressed with the contested ball wins in 2 of 3 games they've played. Tonight it really showed. Merret and Caldwell led the way. This team has some good strong midfielder stock just need to it to be consistent, if they keep winning it in the middle they will give the forwards the best chance to succeed

This should expedite the port coaching handover.

I enjoyed the win, but port are easy to play against.

 

[Lore]

This is a fantastically detailed interview from Merrett five minutes after the game finished. Footy head indeed

 

[nipst@r]

Loved that caddy, saad and kako all want the ball when the game is on the line. It's a star quality.

That was disgusting for 3 quarters and where the review needs to focus on.

The last quarter was fun but really just papered over the cracks.

Probably right there but I do think the contested stuff was solid for most of the game

This win says more about Port than it does Essendon

 

[Vindicater]

Roberts absolutely looks a 200 gamer.

 

[quotemokc]

That is by far the best Hobbs has ever played.

And in the guts where he belongs.

And played within his limits

Finals back on the menu boys WOOOOOOOOO

Loved the run in the last quarter. We looked like we were running on top of the ground whilst they looked gassed. Big break into Gather Round too.

 

[Cold Sober]

I kept the faith all you doubters. Come at me.

 

[Pweter]

The big positive for me is the kids that stood up in the 2nd half. Roberts, Reid, Bryan, Kako, Caddy, El Hawli's cameo was awesome.

I'm pleased for Hobbs. That was his best game for a long time and needs to become his normal.

 

[DERO]

Did many of the bitches show up tonight? Looked a bit empty at the ground.

 

[Don Won]

Finally I can come home. Hello everyone.

 

[nipst@r]

Tough to please for some, we are still a bottom 5 side but just won with the youngest side of the round.

These teams help build the culture. Port are average but we were also competetive against hawks and finally have an aligned club and aligned strategy.

 

[biglaycock]

I want to give huge props to Gresham. Great pressure. Smart. Looked for the first time like the player he was early on in his career.

He was very good early and with Zach M was probably our best up until 1/2 time, a timely and brilliant game from him

 

[Fletched]

Was at this one hell yeah

Made the weekend

 

[windyhill]

Last two weeks train ride home has been like a morgue. All Bombers up and about tonight !

 

[ant555]

Well fitness does not look like an issue.
Ugly win but who cares


Wooooooo

 

[jannissary]

september plans cancelled!!

 

[ant555]

First the Hawthorn game and now this game. We sub a tall for a small and we look better balanced.

Edwards is hardly a tall. Medium for a medium.
Saad made a difference with a bit of run for sure.

Maybe I should have said slow for fast then?
