Mind you, they're booing their own farts ATM.

I believe its because they think he's a flog.

Only the unintelligent boo, I hate it.

Port very well drilled and to a man they’re just better at taking possession in the clinches than the Cats are.

Dangerfield stay on the ball or spend more time up forward?

They are Hawkins or bust, can’t win finals like that!

Look at their small forwards:

Rohan- living up to his reputation going missing in finals, why Swans got rid of him
Meirs - gets cheap goals against weak teams, goes missing against top sides - had 2 kicks
Ablett - harsh call, but tonight shows he is finished, right time to retire

As I just said re small forwards, they have to play Dangerfield forward to have any chance of winning.

Danger must play mid to get clearances. Ablett or Rohan at full fwd, they arent doing much up the ground.

Yep well done to port, better side tonight.
From cats perspective, bad goalkicking is bad footy - 1.8 from set shots?! Wont win many games with that effort *acknowledge some of hawkins shots (0.4) were tough.

Great win by Port, just a little bit better in the clinches. Lost count of the times Wines, Rocky and SPP got quick kicks forwad out of packs. Wasn't pretty, but it was pretty bloody good.

Huge win.. felt the Cats were all over Port first half but couldn’t capitalise, Port went in with the lead and second half the wheels turned and Geelong looked slow.

Wines 19 disposals (12 contested) and 5 tackles
Rockliff 19 disposals (10 contested) and 9 tackles
Powell-Pepper 14 (9 contested) and 5 tackles

The mids were alot cleaner in the third quarter and as a result Port were obviously able to build a match winning lead.

Well done Port, thought the old boys in Harlett and Ebert stood up when the game was there to be won, Motlop deep forward was a good move, but McKenzie on Hawkins? Lucky he didn't kick straight. Who was Clurey on? Ladhams excellent also.
