Game Day Tiges v Port

With cotchin out surprised graham didn't play as ports big body mids destroyed us
Jack Ross played the Cotchin role. Fell short. He's no Cotch, or even a Selwood. Still 19, though. He'll be good.

Graham probably wouldn't be able to stop them with his non working arms anyway.

I love what Fridge has done and his heroics of 17 and especially last year in the P/F will never be forgotten but this season on performance
Ive lost a fair bit of faith in Fridges ability to impact the way he did with his damaged arms, he also has looked slower and less agile this season.

Needs to put that weight back on.

Got stripped for ballistic footy by the look of it and it backfired.

Also could have some 2nd year blues as may have Stackie.

Expect better things from him next year
 
This was a terrific game of football, not least and in fact especially because it underlined the principles and truths of the game.

He's both under and overrated, Rids. Mass, space, velocity. Footy. He's big. But he fluffed a couple of moments, and wasn't above flopping.

Dixon is three inches bigger than any of our backs. (Two in the showers.)
The *smile* idiots in the media talk about him like he's a cross between Plugger and Ablett Senior. He's done nothing his whole career and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes missing in the heat of finals.

But let them talk up Port and Dixon in August. We'll take care of business in October; if we get our players back.

Lose either of those and we are right back in the pack if not in real danger of not finishing high enough to impact (missing top 4) and ending up in Perth or Adelaide for a cutthroat final.

We're right back in the pack now Craigo. Blame the Scum and Giants games for that.

Yep

Cotchin, Prestia, Sheda, Houli, Astbury and Nank back in the side and they won't know which way we went.

We are but win the next 2 and we are sitting on 8-4-1 and looking good, with 4 games left against Adelaide, Freo (should both be wins) and then West Coast and Geelong which should be good games, we can beat both on our day.

Min 10 wins, possibly 12, we will be borderline top 4, might squeeze into 4th with that potentially.

12.5 wins (that means no more losses for rest of the year) and it's top 4 certainty. 11.5 wins maybe.

10.5 wins no chance top 4.

I think it might end up pretty tight in the 3rd-8th positions so you never know. I suspect Brisbane and Port will be top 2, possibly West Coast 3rd and then its open for anyone to finish 4th.
