I managed to withstand the lure of a free Burraburger yesterday and witnessed a damn good game of football...
As a Sandy supporter it was frustrating watching the Sav Rocca show particularly in the first half...but on the other hand we were treated to a real marking and kicking show by Sav....he would have to be one of the straightest kickers of the ball I've ever seen....he marked anything in sight and subsequently had 8 up at 1/2 time....
Port blitzed Sandy in thw first 1/2....yet at 1/2 time we were discussing the fortunes of the game and we were only 4 goals down...
I went home a lot happier after Sandy's comeback...we had our chances but just couldn't get that extra goal to put us in front....
All in all a pretty good game of football...wrong result for me...but a good game !
GO ZEBS
It was good to finally get the Zebra Monkey off the back :)
Not sure how Sandy finished up, but we only had about one on the bench so it was a very pleasing result from Port.
One slight concern is that no Port-listed player was amongst the scorers, and it was close to a 15-7 split that made up the side.
Was good to finally knock Sandy off after a number of narrow defeats.
Its interesting that there were no Port Melbourne listed players to score. But I wouldnt be too worried the game was set up for Rocca to be one out and to have Harvey crumbing. McKernan also played further up the ground.
Pitt, Wheels and Gilham will be probably in this week with Rocca, Motlop and Jesse Smith going up to play for the Kangas,
I was very suprised Gibbo didnt get a game, Its sending a bad message I think. Especially after the spray Saadi gave the players at 3/4 time against the Bullants. He was one of the few players to have a good game and he was dropped to give the Kangaroo boys (Motlop, Smith) a run. Surely there was someone else that could have missed out.
