Just saw it on Facebook, it amused me.
FWIW I think they still play finals as I’ve mentioned previously

I loved the way my mate described it on the night......like you said Port were scared to go down the middle as Melbourne 'own the corridor'. Instead Port tried to go lateral which in turn slowed the ball movement incredibly. End result Melbourne didn't own the corridor they owned the entire park.
Lateral movement can be aggressive if its done in the form of a sling shot but that wasn't the case for Port, it was possessional sidewards movement.

They are playing a game style from 2019/20, others have passed them by it seems

Despite being goalless, 15 minutes into the 2nd quarter being just a goal behind the best team in the land was a pretty bloody good effort if supporters could look past the goalless aspect.
Melbourne are so well drilled, their tackling, speed, intensity and trust in their system is just simply outstanding.
I know this is a dinosaur ploy by modern footy standards, but would they give any thought to playing Hayes with Lycett and alternate them between the middle and goal square? Watching the other night there were times I thought the smaller players are starving without an Aerial threat (although that is tempered a bit by the specialist smalls in Gray and Fantasia not being out there) and there was a few times you wouldn't have minded seeing a big bloke steam out and clatter a few opponents in the hole in front of them.
Looking past just his own individual stats on a weekly basis, I knew the reliance on Dixon was big but probably still underestimated a bit just how big it is.
