Ken winning the flag would be one of the biggest finals stories. He was gawn after that loss to Brisbane.

This is Kenny's speech at Bell Park.

Will be very interesting to see if they have a Plan B in store rather than play roulette down the corridor with a lack of forward leading lanes and heading out wide leading to poor shots for the retention inside 50 they crave. A bit tougher with good ball users such as Farrell and Houston out along with finals pressure and hopefully they pull back the high forward press a bit to avoid the easy over the back goals.

Early on and plenty of time for a come back, but Port might be on for another early finals exit at this rate. If the Cats were kicking straight, this would be an ugly margin already.

I am hoping they lose to the Hawks next week of course. :) (Whoever loses that is).

Who would have thought that the most predictable game plan would be so easy to plan for and coach against, season after season after season at the pointy end?
It was a good game for awhile, now it's a boring massacre :LOL:
Switched over to Amazon Prime for Rings of Power during half time and forgot the third quarter has started. No point to flick back now. :ROFLMAO:

Butters subbed is an interesting strategy. Must be more to it than that.
Getting beaten well in the mids. Set to play one of the two in form midfields. No point risking one of your best to overhaul a 20+ point lead.

That’s the way Ken will spin it I’m sure, but Butters didn’t really look like he was in the game tonight.
