A first for Port i think an Ebert dropped from Port

[NO-MERCY]

I got to admit its about bloody time but its not going to save them from a HAWK hiding.
Listening to Russell on 5AA Sat morning will be interesting.

[Magpiespower]

Wouldn't surprise if Port got up.

Would be winning the footy tipping if it wasn't for those Teal b@st@rds!

A first for Port i think an Ebert dropped from Port

You never saw Craig play then...

[GWW]

A first for Port i think an Ebert dropped from Port

Brett has already been dropped in the past.

not a hope in hell.......

not a hope in hell.......

Goodwrok night raver, in my experience reverse psychology works 50% of the time.

Hopefully this is Travis Boak's break out game. Looked really good today and may it continue. I bet watching from the grandstand really hurt Ebert and Salopek and so it should. Genuine competition for places may yet produce some consistency.

[night raver]

hahaha well it was there "on" week i guess.....reverse psychology always works for me......lol
gray was productive when he got the ball i thought......
If they played hard footy like that every week then there would be no issue. There tackling, disposals and entry into 50 was clean and precise. Why they cant do it every week is beyond me......
Still dont deserve to make finals. And i guess we will hear "power are back" "run for finals"
Until next week..............so inconsistant.
Maybe the answer is to drop the blokes who arnt performing....big names or not!!!!

Great call NM, I guess you're still calling for Danyle Pearce's head as well ?

I may have been wrong with the result but i'm definately in favour of him being dropped.
It wasn't their turn to lose this week as far as the YO-YO'S concerned!
I can't recall mentioning Pearces head to roll although his forms been sh!thouse, he no-doubt has saved himself from the axe finding a bit of the ball today, he's another tampon in teal colours.

So you'd drop him after his game today ??? I'm glad you're not coaching the Power if you believe he should be dropped after his brilliant 4 quarter effort today. How about Boak, Gray and Tredrae ?? They played ok .. Why not drop them as well No Mercy ??

"he's another tampon in teal colours"

... classy

The turning point of the game
HW were doing all the attacking early in the 3rd qtr
The game was evenly poised
Westoff had 2 grabs at the footy and it spilt free
It was paid a mark ?????
Westoff kicked a goal

Geeeeeeeez if that was a mark Im gunna go back and sue all the umpires in Amatuer league that didnt pay me the same marks in my career

I cant believe how poor HW were today with thier skills
They made more mistakes than Whitlams ALP government

In all honesty PA despite making a few muffs as well , if they were any good should have won by 10 goals

[Magpiespower]

Normally Port go 'Jekyll and Hyde' from week to week - got it all in one game today!

At times times brilliant, other times comical. First quarter was hilarious. Next week against the Dockers will be interesting.

Laurel and Hardy. Abbott & Costello. Port and Freo.

Hawks were really let down by their decison making coming out of defensive 50 and poor skill execution, both in general play and kicking for goal. The Hawks had ALL the play for the first 13 minutes of the 3/4, but could only manage one goal, before the Westhoff "mark", then the Hawks started to look tired as the quarter went on. Sides had such a different last start, with Hawks tough games against the Cats, while the Power played for only one quarter against the Crows.
