So it looks like Salopek is the one who is copping the flak for the poor performances of his team mates.

Peter Burgoyne must be doing something very well to keep his spot, i am sure Salopek would like to know what it is.

That 119 points is going to be given a shake ...

FFS, I know Salopek hasnt been playing well, but there are others whose heads should have been on the chopping block b4 Salopek. Dont believe Thurstans will start at full back while Carlisle is on the bench. Hopefully Lower, Stewart and Broadbent get a game. If Port can get within Cooeee weve done well. Just wondering what the odds would be on a Port win?

[auto]

Krackhore and Burgoyne on the half back flanks look very dangerous for Port. Esp if Johnson and Chapman line up as the opposing half forwards.

[GWW]

^ Looks very ordinary agree, fortunately these days teams very rarely line up as their named in the press.

[Magpiespower]

Cats by 93 points...

[Rik E Boy]

Cats by 17 points because we can't be arsed turning up for matches against struggling teams.

[Booney]

Must say, I am really looking forward to this one...

Geelong will play like carp we'll blitz for 2 quarters, surprise a few people and lose by 70+.

you could put Pettigrew and Pearce in the same boat as Burgoyne............very lucky to hold their spots IMO.

[Slots It Through]

Not sure dropping Salopek is the right move, i agree Burgoyne, Pearce and probably Carr should have been the first to go.

Good move bringing in Broadbent and Stewart.

[NO-MERCY]

How is Ebert still getting a game?

Thought Port took what they had to from the game ... They were competitive for much of the it, and return home with their pride intact.

Obviously would have preferred a win, but in realistic terms I think they'd be quietly happy with yesterdays performance.

LMAO. We were in about second gear nearly all day. At Lemon time Bomber told the boys to take it easy FFS. Geelong were Foxing big time and Port are rank and won't make the eight.

LOL Not everything is about your boys, as you should have noticed Reberta, I was commenting on Port ... Seriously, what do you think Port stood to take out of the game?
