Bit off a fizzer of a game but I'm happy we were competitive, given the players we were without and the quality of the opposition. I was waiting till we came up against a top line mid field before I siad it but we have definitely taken a step up and despite still lagging behind the Ports, Crows and Lions of the comp - should be able to match it with most others. I just hope we can hold it together till our talls get back up and running - then there's room for some serious improvement. Another crunch game coming up against the Bombers!

I said before the game that if we got within 6 goals I'd be happy so I suppose I'm happy although if Stafford kicks that sitter from just outside the goalsquare we had them starting to doubt themselves.

Hilton got a fair bit of hit but for *** sake can someone teach him how to kick it with a bit of penetration. Losing Campbell hurt us as he would have been another good option up forward.
Leaving Zantuck on S. Burgoyne(sp?) really hurt us and surely trying someone else could not have hurt.
Special mention to Gaspar who toiled manfully all night and layed a wicked tackle on Wanganeen early in the game which resulted in a free kick to Wanganeen for what though, I am unsure, but worth it none the less.

We are an improved side, tonight proved it for me.
In other years with no Richo, no Ottens, no Holland, no Campbell for most of the game etc, and then being 5 goals to zip down we would have collapsed, we didnt, we held strong, showed that resistance and steele that we have added and put in a good performance considering. Well done boys, im as proud as punch of the effort.....

Although Hilton got a lot of the ball and was listed in the best players on the AFL website his skills are just awful and not up to snuff for a player who quite often gets the ball as a link player when were are running forward.
What a grab by Krakouer. He is starting to find his feet and I think we have a very good player in the making and i think Danny should be starting to give him some more time in the midfield rotation in the coming weeks, especially if Campbell is going to miss a week or too with his calf.
I'm sorry to say it but Pettifer is p.i.s.s weak and a wasted draft pick. If I was Danny I would give him another week and if his doesn't throw himself in at the contest and have at least 5 one percenters then he is gawn for the year. Another player that I am close to writing off as a wasted 1st rnd pick - Fiora, showed me a few encouraging signs tonight and I still hold out some hope for him. Newman is an absolute bonus.
I know Coburg got rolled by a couple of goals today but does anyone know who were our better players?

Port digs deep to go 4-2
10:14:47 PM Sat 3 May, 2003
Ashley Porter
afl.com.au
Port Adelaide was forced to drain its power resources to beat a determined Richmond by 27 points at AAMI Stadium on Saturday night, 12.12 (84) to 8.9 (57).
What looked a certain Port win looming, especially after a stunning first term, turned into a hard-fought slog, and coach Mark Williams stated the obvious by declaring he was pleased to walk away with the premiership points in his 100th game as an AFL coach.
It was also a big night for Jarrad Schofield, playing his 150th AFL game (including 64 with the West Coast Eagles), and Michael Wilson, his 100th after two knee reconstructions, and they obviously savoured every moment.
But as much as the personal milestones were appropriately recognised this game was about further consolidating the Power’s position on the ladder, and it was a far greater struggle than the final scoreboard may have indicated, or certainly anticipated by the 29,608 home crowd.
Port had five goals on the board before Richmond looked like kicking one, but the Power’s overwhelming presence diminished from then on, being restricted to just four behinds in the second term.
Richmond, already without an array of forward talent including Matthew Richardson (hamstring), felt further harnessed by the late-first-quarter loss of captain Wayne Campbell (calf).
Yet, despite reduced options by coach Danny Frawley, the Tigers battled gamely. Predictably, they flooded Port’s forward lines, and frustrated the hosts. At times, it worked, but ultimately Port’s class shone through.
Although Richmond failed on the scoreboard in the first term, it was significant that Port’s regular trump Chad Cornes was restricted to just two handballs by Andrew Kellaway in the first quarter, and another mission succeeded with Mark Coughlan denying key on-baller Roger James a touch. Cornes later emerged triumphant.
Others broke the collars too, including Port’s Nick Stevens against Chris Newman, while Richmond’s Kane Johnson had a great battle with Damien Hardwick.
The Tigers’ second-quarter goals came in grand style with Andrew Krakouer taking a magical falling mark in the goalsquare against two opponents, while Greg Stafford soared and goaled after the half-time siren.
The game broke open in the third term, and for 90 seconds Richmond held the lead. But Port responded with four goals, with Richmond kicking only one, when Stafford dodged three opponents like a bustling rover.
Port led by 17 points at three-quarter time, and the match was all-but sealed early in the last term when Wilson took a fabulous mark midfield, handballed to Schofield, who kicked Port’s eleventh goal. It merely added to their big night. And when Shaun Burgoyne kicked his fourth goal, the Tigers trailed by 30 points and the Tiger growl was almost completely muffled.

I was thinking that Zantuck may well have been a decent forward target since he was struggling on Burgoyne but on further reflection, would struggle to find anyone who could have done better.
Consistently, we saw that Burgoyne was half a yard quicker than Zantuck but Zantuck is one of our quicker players. I can only think of Tivendale - who was quiet - as being another with the pace to match him.

Thought we got smashed at the stop plays by their midfielders (eg Stevens). Did not matter who won the tap out, they were on to it. Gonna have to improve this area. Johnson and Tivers were missing for the night- two of the best in the previous week.
On a brighter note, our rebound from centre-half-back was sensational, that is, when we did not make a silly turnover mistake. Pleasing to see we have made progress on last year, when, against Port in this form, we would have lost by 60 points on their turf. Krackouer was a little excitment machine.
Even with injuries I have high expectations for the Bombers game.
