REB V BOON

[Booney]

Go you Magpies!

Go the Power!!

Yes, but it was almost one of Choco's Chokes. A classic patern - just in front at the last change, go defensive and almost get runover. The same pattern that resulted in one Premiership from 3 good years! My wife, who is a Port supporter, was sitting in the car with me listening to the commentary. Her reaction, " Oh no! He's told them to just defend the lead again."

Touche Mr Boon. Don't think that the Legs v Pies match up is of any great concern in the wider picture of things but an interesting match at Cat Park. I don't think Bomber showed Choco too much today. Never happy with a loss of course but I was comforted by the fact that the result was a big 5hitburger for West Coast. The best side won on the day but we've lost the battle, not the war.

Teams that get a run-on to bridge a deficit and then stop playing the same style that got them in front just because there is 2 minutes left will pay the price.

Port almost lost the Hawthorn game doing the same thing late in the game.

In the space of 60 seconds or so, Geelong from memory used about 3 kicks and moved the ball backwards to their full-back line and then wondered why Port were still in goal scoring range when the ball eventually turned over. As soon as Geelong ran out of free players and kicked to that last contest (on Port's 50m line) after wasting 60 seconds I thought 'here we go' ....

Good lesson to learn in round 21 and not a few weeks later I guess.

Teams need to work on their 2-minute warning strategies I think.

Its not the end of the world for WCE either, the percentage gap between 2 and 3rd is very small and will only take WCE beating Essendon by slightly more than Port beats Freo by next week. (Providing they both win)
