I’ve had a gut full of this. Port, the team that was made made to beat the Saints. Our dung heap or not. Pathetic!

Not a single mark inside our fwd 50 this qtr. You all told me to pull my head in after that disaster of a Cairns clash last year, but it was the start of the end of our season. This will be too if we drop this.

I'm really struggling to understand what your point is. You really haven't made it often enough for it to sink in.

Sigh...

Last year it was humidity, now it’s the 5 day break. When it comes to Port, we’re the king of excuses

I thought we played a lot stronger in the last 5 minutes or so of that quarter. Port have run their guts out to get back into the game. It's possibly unsustainable: we need to hang in for the third quarter and then the fourth could get interesting.

He was hit in the head, but he did buckle his legs. I can understand the ump not wanting to play it. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the Horne-Francis holding the ball that wasn't played in Q1.

I make no apologies, I’m effing pissed. Just the same formula year after year. Port will still be our bogies, as will the Crows and Swans. Enough of the mediocrity!!!

I can’t imagine this is right…

What about all that blocking Cordy is doing?

I know the stats show 1 mark, 1 kick, 1 goal but his pressure acts have resulted in our other 4 goals and other opportunities right?

It's not over yet. We're only 7 points behind.

Oh dear
What can the matter be?

It’s the Battle of Jutland

And our bloody ships dont seem to be working..

Don’t worry

Admiral Jerricos fleet will come down from Scapa Fliow and sent them scurrying away in the next stanza

We have to have a plan B a contingency

Will we be reactive ??

Or will we maintain ??


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Ump said he 'shrugged' the tackle which slipped it high. Didn't realise that was a rule, is it?

No, I agree with you. That's crap.

Just hoping the 5 day break isn’t detrimental to seeing this game out

Byrnes I think is the key. 6 touches and struggling to get near it. I reckon if he can lift, we’ll left

Structure fracturing

Team defense struggling

Will be tough from here
