Lycett has been setting us up in ruck especially today against nic who generally kills us. DBJ is becoming my favourite junk yard dog, so good. Good team effort.

Wil schofeild

He might gain votes in Port's best and fairest......

 

[Marmozet]

A lot of us expected us to bottle this and we didn't.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Yeahhh

 

[Noobz0r]

The best sign out of all this is how well we responded to WC coming at us in the 3rd quarter. Thought it was fumbles and turnovers that cost us goals in the first place.

 

[Monument Hills]

well done sister port club. made my day. Been rating you guys highly for a few years now. Just needed to get all your players on the park and some games into the youngsters. Nice!

 

[robbo1981]

We are not only winning games as favourites, we are winning comfortably, we have the ability to kick quick goals and crucially, we have shown we can respond when the momentum shifts.

That was one of the best key forward performances in several years for Port Adelaide, if Dixon keeps playing like this he could win a Coleman. Don't know if he changed his technique or if it's a confidence thing, but he makes us look so incredibly dangerous going forward. Not to mention Marshall and Westhoff were both superb as well, those three are easily the best tall forward set-up in the AFL right now.

Hammer and Byrne-Jones are so ******* reliable across half back, Hammer is just relentless in his attack on the ball and Byrne-Jones is so composed under pressure. Amon is a constant threat on the outside of the pack. Butters and Powell-Pepper's pressure off the ball is incredible. Lycett kept Nic Nat in check, Motlop and Robbie created space out of nothing, Ebert was at his industrious best.

The ball is in our court now. We have our biggest test of the season next week, if we come out of the hub 5-0 we deserve to be premiership favourites.

Got on Charlie for the Coleman at the start of the yr at 41/1 then sports bet voided all bets because of covid then re starts at 34/1 FFS still got on at 34/1 and for the flag at 34)1 carn the power

 

[davo999]

Well done boys . Strong effort .
Dixon was immense and well supported by Westhoff and Marshall as a 3 tall forward setup .
Hartlett was great as were all the backs .
Didn’t think Farrell grabs his chance real well .
Boak was a bit quieter but still good .
Robbie Gray still rusty , Ollie and Rocky ok but not great .

 

[GremioPower]

I simply cannot explain. I don't understand. I barely believe! But I like it...

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Sung with gusto again

 

[Capital Power]

If the season ended tonight, Dixon wins the Coleman and is the first forward picked in the AA team.

The benefit of playing both Marshall and Westhoff alongside him is clear and has been to everybody except Ken Hinkley since 2015.

And McKenzie the first back.

 

[shewho]

We out played them and we out coached them. We are a very well drilled team right now. We have a system that has stood up even when the others have had a run on us.

It might not be a popular opinion but H8nkley is producing the goods. Schofield undoubtedly has a lot to do with it but at least Hinkley is listening to him.

 

[PortWTF]

6-6-6 and Marshall are great for Dixon

I can't sleep!

 

[Marmozet]

Commentators can EAD too

 

[dirty2]

Bring on brissy!!!!

 

[Ports1870]

Big two weeks coming up now can make or break us

 

[jdeezy]

I'm genuinely confused if this is Port Adelaide I've been watching.

Charlie

 

[RossFC]

Charlie Dixon. That's all I need to say.

 

[FutureShock]

What a difference it makes to have a key forward that kicks straight. Dixon 6 shots at goal, slotted them all. Any other year it would have been 2.3 and one out on the full. Well done Charles!

 

[tribey]

Commentators can EAD too

At least Dr Healy didn’t diagnose one of our players with terminal endometriosis a la Duursma’s hammy last week.

 

[True__Believer]

I have been squarely in the sack Hinkley camp but can say the coaching and team selection has been pretty much on point so far this year.

 

[GoTheMightyCrows]

Dougal McKenzie is having a great season

 

[Noobz0r]

I wonder how much influence Schofield is having in his second year in the coaches box.
