[VineValerian]

Game obviously didn't happen as channel 7 is showing our game live from 4:00.

You don’t need to pay for Kayo we have Keno and you know the result before the first bounce.

Holy crap that brace on Robbie's leg jeez ☹

Haven't you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before?

David King hatched the pre-game revelation that we’re a bit like GWS in that we rely on individual talent rather than any sort of effective system to win games.

Welcome to 2015, Kingy.

And it isn't just when we have the ball. Watch how when an opponent has the football and two, three, even four Port players all run at him to make the tackle, leaving free opposition players to receive an easy handball in space. We lack genuine cohesion and purpose in all aspects.

Piss weak effort in the last, lost the last quarter when we should have been hunting an 80 point win and vital percentage.

This side isn’t nearly ruthless enough and is still a long way off the top 4.

We'll scrape into the top 8 and get smashed week one.

An easy opponent is a good opportunity to practice being switched on for 4 quarters. We never do it against easy opponents, and then wonder why we get our pants pulled down by good teams.

its almost like we're being poorly coached by someone. maybe a head coach.

It was easy, he has stats.

Imagine the melts if we were in Brisbane's shoes right now....

You know, I picked up on the fact that Port Adelaide started the game with 18 players on the field.

Now get this. You take the players they sent to the bench and compare it to the players that came off the bench, its a 1:1 ratio. Theyve kept 18 players on the field the entire game. It allows them to maximie their chances of individual brilliance.

And you know that Ken Hinkley knows that his team is great individually, in that this mirrors how his opponent is setting up. If you look here, you'll see that Ken arranges 18 on 18 at all times during the game. Even backs them in when injuries strike, still with the 18 on 18.
This is really exciting to see, I expect that other coaches will pick up on this and try to either copy him, or exploit this by trying to get 19 or 20 onto the field.

I hope they get a reaming of 42 frees against and 13 for in Tassie.

We are a team that plays without method. All of the teams above us on the ladder leading into this week would have blown away this Gold Coast team by 100 points or more.

Absolutely true!

A freezing cold arm wrestle in deepest, darkest Hobart?

Pretty grateful we’re not.

They all get a pressure stat though, which is nice
