Were they describing Rowey?

Also heard a bit of this, Ill never listen to a radio call again while it is being called off the TV, it genuinely sounded like they were on the couch and Timmy's place, there was very little play by play calling going on so it was extremely hard to engage in the game, maybe it is supposed to be watched in conjunction with the TV?

I disagree, what we saw was more of the type of forward 50 entry Port fans are sick of seeing. Scrappy through the middle, bombing to Dixon one out, the opposition rebound. Sure, it's game 2 of proper hit out footy but the performances / execution in the last two weeks mirror that of seasons gone.
Rucks getting beaten, midfield breaking even, forward 50 entries in the positive but return for effort too low. It's easy to go "It was a trial game", it's more accurate to assess why it's caused concern.

Dixon is your concern.
For years him one out has not worked even though the collective league blow smoke up his ass that he is this dominant big man in the game.
Is he good enough as a no.1 ruck? Probably not.
Tough decision, but you are almost better structured without him in the side.

Sides expected to be top 8, it doesn't matter
Sides expected to be bottom 8, needs to win
