Did you watch the game, the Filth 2s were basically jogging behind uninterested?

Having said that, you can only play against who you play against, and against that lack lustre opposition you'd expect AFL capable types to have a big haul, and Binns did just that.

47 touches and 3 goals are good form.

Just can’t emphasise how important this game is - to both sides!

If we win, we’d be pretty good odds to finish top 2.
If we lose, can’t see us in top 2, and top 4 at risk.
DO NOT want to play Syd or Lions at their home grounds.

On the other hand, if PA lose, can’t see them making finals.

HUGE stakes.

Yes! Definitely don't want 3rd or 4th with 3 interstate sides directly below us. Means having to win interstate or becomes real difficult.

Different set of criteria and not over 1 season.

Could do similar with Martin.

Lets get back to intensity TEAM football.
Perform your role.
Run hard when we have the ball, run harder when we don't
Do the 1%ers
Better the ball to make your team mates look good.
Go Blues!
2024... Moir of the same to come

Bit of swagger and head wobble has set in with a few players.....C.Curnow being one example, he is still good enough on an off day to be kicking goals which can mask this attitude but there is a casual aspect to his game that needs fixing.

Going to be a tough week for selections with quite a few injuries/niggles and quite a few options to return from injury as well.

I'd like to see us rest anyone who is sore, especially given the short break.
I'd go something like....
Outs: De Koning (inj), Durdin (inj  ::)), Acres (inj/rested), Kennedy (inj/rested), Carroll
Ins: Pittonet, Young, McGovern, Boyd, Martin

Pitto for TDK is obvious.
Gov in because we need him down back.
Young in is basically a case of now or never. That being said, McGovern, Marchbank and Kemp are all fit so not sure the MC will go with Young.
Boyd back in (with Gov + Young) frees up Cincotta to play more midfield.
Acres+Kennedy (and potentially Walsh!) get some much needed rest to recover from injuries. Cuningham + Cincotta to get more midfield time.
Martin to come back in as sub at the expense of Carroll.

If you wanted to rest Walsh as well as acres and Kennedy, Carroll can stay.

Id be keeping Walsh in this week, the only way Port win is if their star mids get hold of us. We screwed up by letting Sheezel run around on his own all day last game and Id be having Cincotta on Butters and someone like Hewett on JHF.
Last time Port only had Georgiades down forward and he beat McGovern easily I thought so Id be making sure the matchups are different and we have a few alternatives.

I'm sure the MC will pick him even if he is half fit, but thats half the problem.
If a week off will get him back to 100%, then suck it up and give him the week off.
We know what he is capable of and we know he will never play a bad game, but do we want him putting in a B- game each week, or do we give him a week off and he puts in A+ game each week?

Sam Durdin out for 4 to 6 weeks after his one game.  :'(
Hudson O'Keefe gone for 3 to 4 weeks.  :o

Maybe we get McGovern back.
Marchbank may be fit, but do we risk him? Or do we require Young?  >:D

Decisions, decisions!
Live Long and Prosper!

Every week you see teams caught on the rebound and you dont see a lot of mids or even rucks getting back to block the lanes.
We dont have the quickest players in the midfield either so I think you are reliant on your mids winning the stoppages/clearances and your forwards applying pressure and not allowing that sling shot game. You want to outnumber the down the line kick and allow the opposition to kick short to the weak side to slow down movement and trap them hoping for a turnover with a high risk kick if they choose to be bold and pinpoint a difficult pass.
I think our forward pressure has been lacking but we got lucky with some of the Nth players panicking ie Fisher, McKercher and handing us goals, better drilled teams wont do that so we need to be more proactive and get back to what we were doing when we had that winning streak.

150% agree with this EB.  He is capable of a lot more then he is delivering.  He is not full on attacking the ball in flight like we know he can - is more content to end up in a push and shove wrestle way too often for a guy who can run like he can. Also watched him at least 3 times last week back out of a marking contest trying to get the Joe the goose in the goal square.

If he had our captains heart the bloke would be better then Buddy but seems content to just plod along at times.

Need a massive finals series from him and hate to say it but to this point Hogan deserves the AA ahead of Charlie IMO.
