Rozee likes a bit of, look at me.

Yeah watching Collingwood in that last 1/4 was frustrating as a neutral, they seem to only have one speed no matter what the state of game is.

Vital moments ? .... like from quarter time until half way through the last quarter .... and it was your more experienced players, like Sidebottom and Pendlebury, that refused to move the ball forward quickly. Rozee got to sing the song, so another look at me moment for him.

It's amazing how good teams look when they play attacking footy.
And how shocking they are when they play the slow boring kick to kick style.

No argument from me. They burnt mccreery a couple of times.
Gloating aside. So you were happy with Rozees game?
To me he tried to do too much at times and didn't give it first time which confused your forwards.

Disappointed to post that game but I don't think we had the legs. Bloody annoying though.

Some good games this weekend and then some real slugfests as well. Bit of everything.

There were a number of Port players who had below average games, including Rozee. I don't think he deserves to be singled out though. Was he any worse that Amon, Bonner, Houston or Motlop? We all know Port can and will play better than they did today.

Interesting one Port, certainly seem to be struggling a little, how do the Port faithful see it? Worrying signs or happy to bank wins like yesterday and build into the season knowing you don't necessarily want to be flying in May?

They have a pretty decent draw for the next 5 weeks, including the bye which they probably need.

They're banking the win. A few teams are in same situation where they looked to be looking for the bye

Collingwood have been a bogey side of ours for some time, especially in Melbourne, since 04 we they had an 8-4 record, 4-3 in Adelaide too.

Win is a win, take the points and move on. They are top 4 certainties and from there who knows

I wish I had the same confidence as you, we are currently being exposed in areas that we lack, we're missing Duursma and Butters big time, not having Clurey and Lycett has really stretched our resources.

Aliir's work rate is brilliant from what I've seen so far and I look forward to Georgiadis getting games under his belt and growing in confidence, although he dropped a critical mark last night he can be very dangerous.

Fairly soft back half of the season, doubt you drop more than a couple of those. That will set you up nicely

A bit worried, not only are we missing some important players who may end up playing no further part in the season we've got 3 or 4 who, if we had a full list, I don't think would be playing through either injury or form. I reckon we're about 8 players down at the moment and 2 or 3 of them are still playing.

FWIW, whilst the deliberate was inconsistent with their usual sh!t, I don't think it should be deliberate ever . What else is he meant to do, what sort of contortionist act do they expect him to pull out? He's beaten his bloke to the ball and now they want to punish him for it.

The holding the ball against Keays was by far a worse decision. Even if he did handball it, he'd had that much time it was holding the ball three times over, especially with some of the other cr@p they pay in the packs or where someone has had one step to balance themselves.

Well shock horror the afl have just made it that much harder to umpire.
So now a skill error and a deflection off someone count as deliberate.
They're asking the umpires to have mind reading skills now.

They are saying Spargo didn't touch it and that Murray showed insufficient intent in keeping the ball in play when he handballed towards the boundary line.

Crows supporters clearly saw that it was touched though

I was watching it on TV, and I saw the deflection.
And I'm impartial.

Murray’s for mine is clearly deliberate (or insufficient attempt or WTF they call it these days) but FH raised a point I came here to make, seriously what option did he have that wouldn’t have resulted in a Melbourne scoring opportunity?
