[raman]

BOG goes to Kiss from a Rozee for going for a round just as bar was closing.

Now to show some discipline for a better free kick differential

That was a game where the differential didn’t deserve to be there

I saw Butters impact a couple of aerial contests even though he appeared out of them. Some clever tap ons as well.

That's exactly the stuff we need. Neade never did that.

Well played and good luck for the rest of the year. We deserved to lose by a lot more tbh, unfortunately saw this result coming. You lot must be loving life with the result in the Adelaide game right after your win

I just have one comment about today:

Oh my god!

ohhhh killem

Well that was an enjoyable game of football. Voice is hoarse.

Thought Watts, Westhoff and Houston were outstanding. Watts had a hardness to him that I've never seen before. Laid out Oliver.

Amon has lifted. Genuine winger.

Drew was the best of the 4 new blokes, but all showed a bit. Butters is so clever, he thinks two steps ahead.

I'm very much looking forward to watching Lycett and Ryder monster opposition ruck pairings.

I thought Burton, Peps and Robbie had almost days with their shots on goal. Could have been ugly if they had their radars on. It'll come fellas.

Is it just me edgie or is Butters channelling Angus Young in this photo?

Now to show some discipline for a better free kick differential

Despite the lopsided free kick count, and Lycett "bullying" poor Max Gawn all day, Scotty didn't give away one free!

Looks taller out there than I expected also

Burton is quite tall but I was surprised to see he and Willem walking off together and Will's taller.

We need to get our Moneyball data analytics nerds onto finding unheralded players we can trade for that have outstandingly positive free kick differentials.

 

[Duck Farmer]

The most Port Adelaide thing about the game plan today was the work put into Max Gawn both on and off the ball. Kudos to whichever coach insisted on that.

That West Coast umpiring magic obviously hasn't completely worn off just yet.

 

[Killer Power]

They didn't quite make my top 5 but I thought Lycett, Burton, Marshall and Drew were very good today. Hopefully these guys combine with our draftees to play a lot of footy together.

Handball handball handball... Was magnificent to watch

Reminded me so much of the way Jack's teams used to attack from defence.

I still love you

Today was enjoyable.

Don’t remember anything about the game but **** it was good

 

[Black 18]

What a win!

Big congrats to Hinkley and the coaching group. That was the freest I have seen us play for years. Takes strength of character and belief to move away from such a regimented, controlling way of coaching to what was on show today.

More of that please.

Let them play.

You could write so much about so many but others have already covered all of that stuff.

Well done. It's been a while since I was proud of the way we played and if we keep attacking games in that manner then good things shouldn't be that far away.
