Correct.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Wasting pick 4 on him just sums up Melbourne's recruiting

Went along and watched last night.
Port were superb in Q1 and played really good footy. Geelong did miss a lot of chances though.
By Q3 I could see the port players were struggling to cover the ground, they look very unfit.
Toumpas and Amon were terrible, lobbe got smashed all night, Hartlett boak both grays and wingard were hardly in the play all night.
Way too many passengers. Byrne Jones is really the only one who could hold his head high, port really need to keep blooding this kid as he's a gun.
Going forward I think port needs to cut its losses with a few players and send them to the reserves and start giving the kids some experience.
Season over for them already, may as well start putting things in place for next year.

Port can't cut their losses, most are locked into 4-5 year deals

The Carlton v Freo game makes the Geelong v Port game look good. Absolutely putrid.

That's unfair... A team of cripples could beat both of these mobs.

"Gibbs didn't want to pick it up". You'd have a fair whack of coin if you got a dollar for every time that happened.
