Yes, I suspect a few of Hinkley's players are underdone and/or carrying injuries, because I thought the same about some of Hinkley's weirdness and couldn't explain it! It's like they'd work hard to win momentum then just surrender it a moment later.
Almost the AFL equivalent of a game of checkers, not sure it was a great night for either coach, but our players were switched on and supreme.

Port looked cleaner than us in close and fumbled less. Their top liners are certainly elite.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

JHF is a freak and he lifts those around him.

But Cripps owned him when it mattered because he worked harder and pushed harder defensively

In retrospect I think our season long contested style saw us through under the new rule, because our panicky game style isn't degraded by the rule change, I guess we've been doing it longer than the others. I didn't see that coming!

Williams not only kicks goals he also knows how to block for the towers and occupy his man at the right time.

I don't think the change in interpretation of the holding the ball had a great impact on the game. We knew what to expect and there were no real surprises with the decisions. Cripps,
Charlie and Walsh played pretty much in their normal fashion. A couple of times they were pinged for the same things they got away with last week, but we knew that was coming.
Probably the best lesson to come out of the game was to continue to keep playing in the normal manner, rather than shutting up shop half way through the last quarter.

Findlayson, Georgiadis and the Charlie yet he rucked Wines and Soldo. Am I missing something?
