    We absolutely torched the reigning premiers on their home patch and the margin flattered them.

    Warner, congrats on the round 3
    Rising star nomination.

      The rolling back and covering in defence created a lot of perceived pressure and fumbly Richmond forwards. The look of that creative play time and time again was impressive, and now with Cunningham and Campbell and Tampe we have three players who have the speed and can really create that pressure in a jiffy. It was ultra impressive.
      I don’t know what else we need. And not sure if any of the other players can come and displace anyone on current form. However, things do change and someone may get injured or lose form. But the players coming in will be on notice to up their game.

        Thought Campbell was quiet in the second half and not sure how much time he was on. Not sure if I saw a minor limp in his right leg after the game. No concderns about any of the others. They were great and what a job Hewett did on Martin when he went forward.

          Was that the Volleyball goal?

            I was enchanted with Stephens being a top 5 pick from an AFL state while Wicks was a rookie listed player from Manly. I was backing the 1st round pick. As a Tom Brady fan, who was a 6th round pick, who went on to be the GOAT, I should know better.
            Fair call mate corrected your error . I to would love to see Stephens in the side but atm there is simply no room for him .

              You are so right, he is like a mythical creature! What a great recruiting decision.

                That was a great goal. Even the Richmond supporter in front of me was clapping!

                  Yes, I think the Cunningham tackle started an adventurous movement, that finished with McLean hitting it on to Wicks, who then slapped it on to McDonald. It could've broken down at almost any stage, but didn't.

                    As good as Aliir has been and will be for Port... The value of Hickey so far to our overall team is far more significant to our performance. Unreal today. Did it at both ends, tapped well, competed at ground level. And his skills are far better than I ever anticipated.

                      Any update on Sam Reid? Spent the last quarter on the bench.

                      I feel with his history that he might not come up in 5 days time.

                        Maybe it was cramp? I noticed Rampe was struggling towards the end and he was stretching his leg.

                          Can I give a shout out to Kennedy. There has been a lot of discussion about him lately that he could be nearing the end. He is not the beast like he used to be but he does those little things that you don't notice right away. Like the toe poke to Warner for that running goal.

                              This.
                              My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

                                Looked like cramp to me but not sure.

                                I see Reid's role as in the process of changing to a 2nd or 3rd ruck + spare in defence.

                                Looks less effective in the forward 50 than the plethora of options we had today plus buddy when he plays.
