Bloody good game of footy. Had some smoker cats supporters behind us carrying on like twats. I'm not a fan of that shit no matter which team. Go to the footy and watch the game, carry on a bit but no need to rub it in. Umpiring was ordinary but went both ways. Just always felt we were going to get up in the last and probably should have been 4 goal up 3/4 time if we kicked straight in the 3rd. Bit of a worry for the power. Definitely not a flag contender at the moment but long way to go. Go Cats. I'm finishing off this bottle of red and off to bed. Gotta be back in Berri at 10 for golf. Met a couple lads tonight too. Valleys and lightning. ******* boony too the **** sitting right behind me. Good to watch the boys have a win. PS everyone who rags Hawkins, **** he does some shit in that forward line other than kicking goals. I love watching him at boundary throw ins. He's the master. Nukkenya.

Will watch last qtr today.

Surely not. I got a warning for calling someone a dickhead in the first 30 seconds of the game so am on best behaviour.
Have had Dixon in tears a few time, what a legend he is.
Fun game to be at, not expecting anything as the Cats only win 5% of games I'm at.

Definitely you behind the Cats goals in the first quarter. You were on your feet after a Geelong goal. Camera zoomed right in on you. You had your Cats rig on, couldn’t quite make out the number on your back. Was it 119?

After one of their best wins in years beating Richmond they are now back to having question marks over their ability to beat the good sides.

I felt most of the free kicks appeared there, didn't have a lot of issue.. my only concerns:

Umpires seemed to change when they wanted to let "the game go" and when they pulled out very soft free kicks. Selwood (3rd) and Dangerfield (4th) both flopped on the ball and were given an eternity to get rid of it, then there were a couple (Farrell?) and Jonas that were tackled instantly and deemed not to have enough intent.

The free kick count in the last quarter seemed to go through the roof - Port gifted 3 goals from free kicks early, then denied a couple with free kicks.. just seemed the whistle constantly being blown. One that surprised me, was a Ladhams throw - called by the umpire in the centre square who was behind Ladhams, when the other umpire was 5m from Ladhams and in front.

The umpiring over the 4 quarters was confusing both ways - you know it is when players have to ask the umpire constantly whose free kick it is.

His work rate for his last goal in the square was amazing for someone his size, and when they showed the most ground covered stat in 3rd qtr he was 2nd on the list!

Armchair expert wrote:Ports bottom 6 not up to standard that was the difference really

Glaringly obvious when it comes to good opposition too.

I like Woodcock, but he runs around like a headless chook and his decision making / foot skills leave a lot to be desired.

Bonner is deadset weak as piss and jumps at shadows.
Farrell might be elite by foot when he gets it, but he doesn't get it nearly enough and he's not far off the Bonner category with shadows.
Motlop is Motlop and continues to be incredibly frustrating.
Jones might be a kid but he's got really hard hands - needs to be cleaner, and similar to Woodcock seems to run around like a headless chook.

Aliir's use by foot on the shorter kicks is terrible - twice he failed to him a simple 20m pass to a free player.

I'm not sure DBJ is in great form either.

Went as a neutral last night in some very good seats in the South Eastern area. Geelong set up very well behind the footy and they really backed their team mates to win the one on one contest by not messing around and kicking it long - From there Geelong and their work rate to get to those one on ones was streets ahead and I was really impressed personally. Going the other way Port really struggled with fluency moving forward all night and it never looked easy for them. Apart from the brilliance of CR in the first Port are lucky it wasn’t more in the end I thought as Geelong also missed some sitters in the 3rd. Port with some work to do.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Reckon DBJ has had a pretty poor year and his credits in the bank must be running low. Agree about Bonner, softer than butter on a 40 degree day.
Not panic stations for Port though, still playing some good footy in patches and missing a stack of quality players.
Even though Marshall has been pretty poor IMO his early lost hurt the structure big time. Can’t let the opposition take so many marks inside their defensive 50.
Will belt the Suns next week and then possibly get a couple back for the Swans

Don’t get to the footy often but managed my 1 game for the season last night and thoroughly enjoyed catching up with mates and watching the game in the flesh. Tom Stewart one of my favourite players in the comp, thought Henry’s game was impressive and spent a fair bit of time watching Ratagolea (sp?) and Ladhams who are both seriously athletically gifted. Hawkins and Cameron awesome to watch obviously too.

As others have said Ports bottom 6 look too far short of those in rival finals aspirants. Thought they really missed a fit and healthy Hartlett (whether we’ll ever see that again I don’t know), and Butters and Duursma can’t get back quick enough. Bergman looks a goer.

Turned out a perfect night for footy and the two clubs put on a suitably decent spectacle.
