Once we went three goals down I thought the injuries had caught up with us. Just shows the belief this team has. We are not the most skilful, but no on works harder.
Don't really like putting a negative on such a wonderful effort, but surely there are 2 kids ready to go that would give us more than Jamo and Walker? Jamo looks like he no longer belongs and I don't know what's going on with Walker.
Kruezer was outstanding for mine. No harder worker in the game.

Awesome work from Rowe around the ground. Held his own in the ruck and got in great positions when needed.
Plowman got crunched at one stage (will be pi$$ing blood this week), but kept going.
Gibbs was great both offensively and defensively.
Love watching Lamb get stuck into the opposition.
Unfortunately I think Jamo is just about done. Doesn't look like he has any confidence in his body.
Dare I say it but Murphy did his best Selwood impersonation, willed his side and they all followed.

After Dixon brushed Jammo aside, he sat out the rest of the game (about 11 minutes). Says it all really.

WOW!
Great team effort for 4 quarters, players standing up all over the place, Lamb and Sumner had their best games in navy blue. Plowman rebounded after a poor game last week and did a great job on Wingard. Everitt tackled with intent and that's all we can ask after last weeks poor defensive efforts. Jones was a presence and Rowe did a good Levi impression crashing packs and relieving in the ruck.
Cripps, Gibbs, Murphy, Simpson, Thomas, Byrne and Touhy all reliable, but the one I want to single out is Docherty. Great courage, great run and great delivery by foot. The commentators go ga-ga for the Bulldogs half backs but Docherty, Byrne and Simpson must be spoken about in the same paragraph.
Walker looks underdone but Jammo looks done, I wonder if the rumours are true and this is his farewell game?
These guys have become our bitches in recent years, I like the idea of adding Wines to our midfield next season, imagine Cripps and Wines, thump and bumb.

What a game! Atmosphere at the ground was unbelievable - the crowd roared when the siren went - couldn't believe we had won it having been down and with so many injuries I wouldn't have been gutted if the boys lost it because you could see they were giving their all. But then they stood up even taller. Special K - wow. Murphy in the last pushed the team over the line. Summers goal. Special Ks goal! Everyone keeping their heads at the end with Docherty in the thick of it - wow.
I think walks will come good - he got better as the game went on and still has huge passion. Not sure what's happening with Jamo but he looked really out of sorts.
So bloody impressed - so great to enjoy the footy again!!!!
And fuck you Malthouse - he was so Obviously a fail!

A win by a team who contained NO 2014 / 2015 National Draft picks. Experienced players stepping up, recycled players adding grunt and a new, relevant game plan.
2014's crop isn't going to set the world alight, but gee with the inclusion of the Class of 2015, things can only keep moving forward!!!!

On Big Footy half the Port supporters are blaming the umpires. Fairs fair it was lopsided. But Geelong had 15 less free kicks on Friday night and won by four goals.
