Tassie v Port

[Groucho]

On the ABC now. Good conditions at Port. I think the only affiliated players are Perry,Hay,Moran and the Chad.
Port off to a flyer 3 goals early. A nice 50 metre goal to Chad gets their first.

 

[Devil Fish]

Let me know how Moran goes.

Scott "Vossy" McMahon is also playing as well

Yeah,thanks Paul. Thought I missed one.

Quarter time and it's a bit ugly! Port 7.4.46 to Tassie: 3.3.21.

Moran competing well but not having a great influence. Chad Jones had some early touches and kicked a goal and set up another but didn't do much later in the quarter. Another "almost" hanger. Hay took a nice mark late in the quarter and successfully hand balled to a team mate but hardly sighted apart from that.
Port just look too quick.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Tassie to struggle without that dynamo Thurley.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Tasmania look rubbish - is it too much to ask for Chad Jones to do something in the VFL once in a while for more than five minutes?

 

[RoyalBlue]

Is Hay even out there?

Moran is about the only North player at tassie that I rate at the moment.

Had a spell in the ruck! Looked ordinary there too.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Free to Moran - hay actually had a dip before.

Something is really wrong if we're going to drop hay for a spell, presumably to boost his confidence, only to have him played in the ruck.

Stupid.

Hay's one on one defence has been fine in the last few weeks. I think they just want him to get his hands on the ball and get some confidence back in his skills. Ruck isn't a bad place to do this... (although as I speak they've thrown him back on Pitt)

 

[RoyalBlue]

Oh Peter Donegan.

This interview is killing me.

Really killing me.

Laidley's biggest mistake, easily.

I thought he was ordinary in the ruck (ok around the ground ruckwork but understandably was woeful at the centre bounces), but as you say it's not a bad place for him to get into the thick of it, especially seeing as there are generally few big FFs in the VFL. Having said that, Port's ruckmen have been ineffective as well but their midfield is well on top.

Was only a matter or time until he was thrown on Pitt though, let's see how he handles a player of that ilk. As far as I can count, Hay has had four disposals and two marks, and all his disposals have hit team mates.

Chad Jones started really well but didn't get near it that quarter, but a lot of that comes down to the midfield not getting it either (Atkin in particular has barely had a touch).

Perry has been ordinary IMO, and Moran has hardly been sighted away from the centre bounces. McMahon's had a pretty dirty day too.

Im going to get banned from a certain website for saying this, but I agree.

Nah, I agree, has looked like he wants to be anywhere but Port Melbourne at the moment. Disappointing.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Tassie fired up, wasting opportunities. Chad gets a goal.

Still better value than petrie.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Chad COME ON.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Tassie caughing up the win here.

 

[RoyalBlue]

The Chad!

mcMahon also looking good.

 

[Constipated Duck]

McMahon and Hall a lot better in that quarter, and a few marks to Jones. The Riewoldt kiddy can play too, but there's not much of him at 17!

Far superior player without a doubt... but does he try quite as hard as Petrie?

 

[RoyalBlue]

THE CHAD!

Four goals.


Some really nice ruckwork from Moran too.

 

[Groucho]

Pretty good fight back. 97-82 Port's way at 3 quarter time. Early in the quarter if Cotchett had goaled then Port would have been 50 points up!

 

[B-Rock]

Chads on fire! Had like 12 marks n 4 goals still with a quarter to go

 

[RoyalBlue]

Perry needs to realise that he can sulk all he wants in the two's but he won't be playing in the ones's any time soon if he stays like that.

 

[Constipated Duck]

I would have thought 7 or 8 marks at most, but he's played well when the ball's got down there.

My 2 cents worth on the best players...

Port - Pitt, Cotchett, Nayna, Lawrence, Alexander, Obst.

Tassie - Plapp, Howard, Setchell, Jones, and Callinan until injured.
