How much do we need to win by to pass Port on percentage?

Okay, that's not happening.

If he does it would be very minimal I would think, between Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Brayshaw, Harmes there aren't a lot of minutes for him to get in there. Even last season he spent a majority of the games on the wing and he trained with the forwards over the pre-season, with shorter games and Petracca playing heavy midfield minutes I just don't see it happening. The only thing I could see him doing is maybe a run-with role, he's had some success doing that in the past but Harmes has more recent success doing those roles (I actually think it's his best role).

I wouldn't be shocked if Goodwin just goes head to head against Neale with Oliver rather than a straight up tag, he did it against Cripps and Carlton and Oliver torched him. Granted Neale is more damaging than Cripps given that he's actually able to hit the scoreboard from the midfield, will be interesting to see which way we go.

Clayton Oliver lmao.. one of the most overrated players in the comp.. gets the ball but disposal and kicking woeful. How does that guy keep getting a game for

% is irrelevant. At the end of the day the boys honestly just need to beat the team we should.

Not happening this week but let's play the long game.

I'm becoming increasingly confident that Port will s**t the bed in the second half of the season

I'd be happy to stay second less pressure going into the finals. Our flag teams were never minor premiers
