Milera and Geary were excellent. Dal and Fisher were strong Goddard was Goddard should have won but were royally screwed. Seriously should check the umpires bags for cash at the airport. Just comical. I watched with my dad who always tells me not to blame umps but couldn't believe that either.

Milera.

Milera.

What a debut. How long since we've had a kid come in and play that well in his first game? Sensational. Need more of it. What a find.

Yeah, I didn't think he was great. Courageous yes, but a lot of fumbles and not great disposal. Same old story. I've always put him in the category just above Eddy. Hoping he takes his game to the next level this year, but not expecting miracles.

Agree with Legendery regarding Milera. Best debut in ages. Very happy.

Geary excellent. This is our problem. We can't be any good if he is a regular. He tried hard. He got plenty of it. His decision making and execution is not good enough. His first 5 minutes were laughable. He single handedly cost us the first 2 goals.

Sorry K but if he remains a regular we are in trouble. Some things will never change. Love his passion. Hate his excecution.

The frees gave me the sh*ts but they seemed to be there...we were actually very undiciplined and I hope Watters nips this in the bud real quick. I will be watching with interest.

Millera was good but was anyone on him? Good to see a genuinley quick player in our team..

I think both Qld boys need to be moved on at the end of the year...

I generally ignore round one and round 22 as results are distorted for obvious reasons but...our era is over...it is finished.

Milera was terrific... As was Stanley (a player I had little hope for... Seems he is stepping up)...

Milera's performance showed to me what an injection of youth and x factor can do... If Ledger & Sipposs had also been included instead of Peake and Polo, I firmly believe we'd have the 4 points in the bank right now..

Stanley will be a good back up ruck all year, and may develop into a forward threat (part time)... Needs to have better hands overhead...

Chips, Dal, BJ all solid, Milne tried and was robbed a crucial goal... Geary wasn't as poor as I expected..

Milera yes, Geary fumbled as per usual, Stanley still looks like that untalented kid in the class and everyone is surprised when he does something correct, Steven needs to improve his kicking and it has been evident since the beginning of last year.

Another positive is they can blend in guys like Ross, Ledger, Simpkin, Winmar over the coming weeks.

Plenty of negatives coming our way for the next few seasons.

We had a crack at the flag and fell agonisingly short.

Like the skunks after 2002-2003 we have to regroup for a few years and have a crack around 2015.

I thought Geary was okay..Port fumbled as well. It was just one of those games..typical game againts Port though where the luck did not go our way...

I thought a real positive though was the Watters/Laidley combination just being out coached by Matthew Primus...impressive that... :roll:

I am positive that we are currently very ordinary, as I have been saying for a few weeks, but many didn't want to believe me, telling me "pre-season form means nothing", just as they probably said at the same time last year (when we struggled in the late pre-season games then had a woeful start to the year).

I am also positive that we will probably be much better once Watters stars to get a bit aggro. He seems very "touchy feely" at the moment and I think what many of our team need is a good kick up the ass, to get them to stop feeling sorry for themselves at the lost opportunities of 2009/2010. They need to get over it and start wanting it like Port wanted it tonight, or else find themselves another occupation, or club.

I am also positive that Milera was a big positive and that Stanley did quite a few positive things and looks more like he belongs there now.

I am also positive that the umpiring made it even harder to watch the match tonight and that if Nick doesn't find his mojo in the next couple of weeks (in the forward line) that we put him somewhere completely different, to see if he can find it there.

That is a positive. Instead of b!tching and moaning, I am looking at the fact that we have to go and regroup. :D
