That was a sloppy game in front of a very disappointing crowd. The Reds fought hard and will be disappointed to lose that one. Their errors in the first 20 minutes cost them dearly.

The match tonight was one of the more enjoyable contests that I’ve seen this season. The game was hard, tough and most uncompromising.
Port had their way in the clearances as was expected however they had two major periods of play; one in the first quarter and the other in the third quarter where they couldn’t get their hands on enough ball and let Geelong dictate play.
There were a number of significant moments in the last quarter. The first was Justin Westhoff rushing a shot at goal at the start of the 4th quarter which barely trickled over for a point from 20 metres out. Awful. The second was a free kick for an off the ball ‘block’. I think myself and everyone else saw Robbie Gray clearly being held simultaneously during that play. The third was the umpire calling play on as Charlie Dixon was lining up for goal (something which you seldom see let alone late fourth quarter with the game on the line).
The final and most pivotal moment was the Power letting Dangerfield shark the ball and sneak goal side for the match winning goal with under 2 minutes remaining. I also thought it was odd that when the ball was bombed into the Power forward line late on, that it was a 1 on 1 with Gray and Guthrie. I would have expected the Cats to drop an extra few back..
Great game overall though. 43 free kicks is way too many and the game was clearly over officiated.

That was a very, very ordinary display from St Kilda, particularly the second half.
They totally butchered the ball coming out of their defensive end and disposal into the forward line was no better.
As I suspected, they are an over-hyped team based on a victory over GWS who have been patchy at best the past month.
I struggle to understand how Sam Gilbert and Dylan Roberton maintain their spot game after game with the way they approach the game at times…awful. Gilbert particularly has such a lazy approach at times.

BRONCOS BATTER TIGERS
The Brisbane Broncos extended their winning streak to 6 games and confirmed their top 4 credentials with a dominant 36-0 over the Wests Tigers at Suncorp Stadium tonight.
Luke Brooks was a late out for the Tigers and they missed his creativity dearly in attack as they were held to zero.
Both sides traded sets early on in the game until the 14th minute where Tautau Moga opened the scoring for Brisbane. From there on, the Broncos punished all of the Wests Tigers errors with tries.
James Tedesco threw an errant pass in the 33rd minute that led to an intercept by Jordan Kahu and he sprinted 40m down field. Tedesco was subsequently sin binned for laying on the Broncos winger too long. Brisbane ran in two tries just before half time while Tedesco was in the sin bin and the match was as good as over.
The second half was one of few highlights. The Broncos halfback and man of the match Kodi Nikorima and five-eighth Anthony Milford crossed the line for tries early in the half.
On a sour note for the Broncos, hooker Andrew McCullough suffered a nasty head knock in an attempted tackle gone wrong and was taken to hospital as a precaution by club medical staff. His injury caused an extended pause in proceedings whilst the medicab took to the field.
Josh Aloiai for the Tigers suffered an ankle injury late in the game and was also stretchered off the field.
The Broncos will be most pleased by being able to shut out the Tigers who in all fairness didn’t offer too much in attack fielding an untried halves pairing of Rankin and Littlejohn.
For the Broncos, they face the New Zealand Warriors in Auckland next weekend and will lose a number of their players to State of Origin duty. The Tigers have a bye before facing St George Illawarra in round 13.
