Review Round 1 2019 vs Melbourne

[chickentendies]

Underappreciated part for me: I noticed Lycett and Jonas tag teaming players - especially Gawn. It was ******* grouse.

Five goals from Justin Westhoff ...

So who goes out for the captain?

 

[elsler]

how do you replace that guy man the hoff is still awesome

 

[Spadge]

Not enough love for Lycett. So glad we got him. Monstered Gawn with Ryder and showed he is worth everything we paid him. Lycett and Ryder combo will be a huge advantage for us

Five goals from Justin Westhoff ...

He's like a fine wine..... Beautifully aged, but we just never know when will turn to vinegar

 

[Wargreymon90]

One of boaks best games at the club. I said it. He’s back!

 

[Prison bar Pete]

Nice "Prison Bars 2020" sign in the crowd

 

[Power Raid]

A huge scalp today. Definitely an 8 point play, being a win against a competitor for our position in the 8.

So much to like about the young and the old.

We have to work on our touch but that will come.

The debutants were very very good. But i got a bit sexual when Marshall got near the ball. His stats not glorious but provides a contest and a target. And he's not shy. I love him. More please Toddy.

 

[Coobk001]

Amon and Watts can take a bow. Best game by both of them for the club.

So much good about today. Basically all played well.

We certainly look shaky down back at times, but it's all very positive for a round 1 performance.

He reminds me of Stevie Nicks as well.

Just look a those figures ... Who said Rockliff is finished ...

Haha rocky and boaks leather poisoning got me $770 and just narrowly missed out on $1300-$1700 (if melb won $1300 or port by more than 40 $1700 as part of multis)

Grow his hair and hes almost there.

Caroline Wilson during the week, "Melbourne will win this game easily." She also said some time back that Boak was leaving the club - nice one Caro.....

At last some thought gone into the game plan.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Farken we wasted 3 seasons of Boak playing away from his true position

Same with one of the dicks on triple m last night, said dees by 4 and going to win the cup.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

One of boaks best games at the club. I said it. He’s back!

I said it years ago that he needed to relenquish the captaincy to get himself back to best. Bu like my opinion on Dixon etc... The crowd shut me down

 

[EskimoPAFC]

This game and this team in five word...

Jarrad Schofield is a god. 19 games straight undefeated.

Hoff leads Power to stunning upset over Dees
PORT Adelaide has served up the first boilover of the season, downing flag fancies Melbourne by 26 points at the MCG.
Justin Westhoff kicked five goals and Tom Rockliff tallied 44 possessions in the 12.15 (87) to 9.7 (61) win that marks the Power as a team to watch in 2019.
With four debutants and another two playing their first game for the club, there was plenty to like about Ken Hinkley's side on Saturday afternoon.
Jack Watts put behind an undisciplined opening to play an influential hand and Westhoff was a superb spearhead.
Scott Lycett outworked Max Gawn while Melbourne talls Tom McDonald and Sam Weideman had no impact.
First-gamer Zak Butters gave the Power their first lead in the second quarter with back-to-back majors.

Farken we wasted 3 seasons of Boak playing away from his true position

Hopefully it extends his career for a year or 2 though.

 

[tangolikelama]

Jack Watts was awesome. So was Amon. Can't believe I'm saying that

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Now consider the midfield when our new ruck combo aren't against gawn!!

Farken we wasted 3 seasons of Boak playing away from his true position

Another perspective, we preserved him in another position for until we played a more winning game plan
