If you hit the dancefloor unannounced and bust out the worm-into a full g-force back spin all the time,

occasionally you will hit your head on someones boot and have to slink off into the crowd.

Had as poor a first half as i have seen him play for years, and i'm a huge fan.
Largely redeemed himself in 2H.
I've loved his work down back this year - just sees things earlier than most and is explosively creative on the rebound.
Its getting crowded down back but that's my preference for Shedda as i reckon that's where he gets most possessions and has the most impact.

Agree totally
Didn’t have a stinker (as claimed elsewhere) although first half was pretty poor by his standards
For whatever reason he was just off the pace today
His quick hands weren’t there in the usual way in the first half especially

As bad a game as he has played in years.

Played so loose and couldn’t have made worse decisions with ball in hand if he tried.

Between him and Short they were wearing port Jumpers.
Edwards handballs are usually Crisp and direct, yesterday they were handballs to players directly under pressure or handballs that missed the target,
It was hard watching butters slap him.

1st half was a shocker.
I turned to my mate and said he must have a leg issue.
Refused to kick the ball.
2nd half much better.
Does anyone know if he had a leg problem?

I may be against the grain, however I don’t mind both Shedda and Stack playing half back, I like there dare and hardness coming out of the back half, however I don’t mind them playing forward either

i like them both a half back, i also like them both forward, so i guess we need to consider who the alternatives are up each end.

Me too, thought the Shed/Stack half-back combo worked really well

Shed and Stack works better than Houli and Short.

Stack and Bash is a better combo I prefer Shane as the link man and creator in the front half.

Me & you work better then Houli & Short.

We cannot afford to drop this game. No Moore, no Langdon, No O’bree

Yep. Was woeful in the first half. Wouldn't object to a return up the ground and Stack moved back.
Yeh I think those blaming baker for a couple of early port goals got their defenders mixed up. Edwards cost at least 2 in the first quarter.

I’m guessing that when you hear hoof steps outside your window, you immediately think, ‘zebra’!

strangely enough, I have a donkey called zebra, who occasionally clip clops under my window with his buddy chilli the stock horse.

when they do, I usually visualise a donkey and a stock horse, but I get your point.
