Autopsy Round 8: Port Adelaide V Richmond @ Adelaide Oval - Changes for Essendon

[Tiger Claw]

Just glad the players stood up for Grimes in his milestone game

He stood up ok for himself and the team as well.

 

[Tiger Claw]

His attack for such a small frame is amazing, just wait until he puts a little size on, he's going to run riot. We will forget who Matt white is once this kid turns the jets on

Matt White? LOL.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

I never want to forget Matt white. What a dud lol

Is starting to get found out for the spud he is, there's a reason why we only offered him a 1yr contract, he had 1 good season in 8 and he thought he was the bee's knees.

Positives:
Maric - owned Lobbe's arse and was massive
We won a game despite not scoring for a quarter
JR8 - absolute A grade
Spoiling Cornes party. He does seem like the best of the Cornes but they are a strange family and Chad and Graham are ****wits anyway - EAD Cornes
Menadue's first goal
our start - silenced the crowd with the first three goals
We're in the 8

Negatives:
scoreless quarter
commentating - it was all about Port
kicking for goal at set shots - both sides stank at it
Ty's injury

How do we get Corey more of the footy?

He can start by not fumbling it when it's given to him It's strange.... in some situations you can see the game is just too hot for him at that moment but when he feels comfortable and as though he has space he moves/glides smoothly. His out of bounds on the full today was Pendlebury like in the lead up.... and Steve Morris in the final kick.

I'd keep playing him up until the bye, then he can have a little break to freshen up. He won't hurt us by being in the team in the short term and he will get better feeling during the 'hot' moments in games. The games we get into him now will be very beneficial in 2016 and beyond....

Matt White lol. Front running squib and a turnover merchant. Poort can have him.

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

PRE? What's his name?

haha I've said too much! Can't remember.. Haven't been there for a long time.
Could be "mysonhashittatts".

By playing him week in week out.
He will take massive steps each week.

Port aren't going to win many games whilst Wingard, Gray and Monfries aren't prepared to do any defensive work or get their hands dirty. Front running pretty boys coached by an egotist who both enjoyed and believed in the immense amounts of fellatio they copped from the media for 18 months.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Ellis has never been a big ball winner. So don't expect too much, hopefully a Dal Santo like out put.

If his VFL games are worth anything then I'm thinking each game in the AFL is worth gold.

You've got that 100% correct. The bloke's full of himself. EAD Hinkley hahahah

 

[John the Butcher]

Shit loads of Richmond support there today, huge game for both of us after Richmond's disappointing EF loss. Nice Richmond bloke next to me, twas a legend.
Clearly Richmond was better than our shitful performance and a well deserved win.
Also, respect for doing the guard of honour farewelling our old campaigner.
Cheers

I hope C.Ellis, C.Menadue and L.McBean all play next week. It feels that with them in the side, the older players realise the responsibility they have in showing them how to play. I know they may be quiet in their first few games, but they will catch on eventually. Look at Joe Daniher kicking 6 goals today. The Bombers persisted with him and are reaping in reward for it. I feel that these youngsters have a lot of upside, so we should stick with them

When a post has more likes than the opponent's score...

 

[richoatthedisco]

Great win, from the coach down.

As someone who opposed the new clash jumper, I have to say it looks great, even if the Port supporters in the commentary box didn't think it was worth mentioning. Not once, even though it was the first time in 130 years we've played in a yellow jumper.

(Although it's more gold than yellow, as is our sash on the regular jumper. Still, that's ok. It looks better.)

 

[TigerAndy]

5 VOTES to the coaches boring game plan but got the job done well done (might even be the plan b we have been missing)

I made the comment to the Mrs during the game that if this game style is played in a GF we commend them teams for strong defence but during the home and away season we say it is boring. I thought it was great defence by the tigers when they were under the pump. (I was not saying that the time mind you lol)

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Vickery seems the only out, but Carlisle may get rubbed out to counter. Essendon are quick, so a small comes in. Conca?


Sent from my iPad using righteous man power.

Shes back!

 

[WWSD]

Jake Batchelor played an underrated game in my opinion. Played an important role down back.

Whitey was as humble a player as we've had.
Any fringe player, ever, would've jumped at the pay rise and job security he was offered.

 

[richoBABY]

Just watched the game, awesome effort all game great to see

 

[TigerAndy]

It's the clash jumper. It gives normal footballers incredible strength

If that is the case happy to play AWAY every week

Where is the myth coming from? Averaged well over 20 disposals in his underage year at TAC cup level and over 22 possession last year while his foot was screwed, plus TAC cup has no time on. Not to mention he racked them up 20+ and 30+ in two of his VFL games.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

I do

I would fook them both.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Lmfao!!!!
