Review Port vs Brisbane QF @ The Gabba - It's OK Guys, Finals are a Bit Scary

[Harlott]

I'm also fine with trading Duursma now
Hinkley isnt getting the best out of him imo

This is a curious statement.

 

[JimmyBC]

Waiting for a Janus review of the game

 

[jdeezy]

Kochie is gonna be a great example of this.

Dutches up PAFC with his IBS then *s off to replace Goyder on the commission.

I'll consider the season a mini win if he hecks off out of our club, just as I would've considered it a win if the season resulted in Donuts being turfed. Hope it happens

 

[Portmagpies36]

Marshall is definitely getting jabs in the hip before games, it's no excuse for the close in misses but it's obviously having an effect with his action perhaps a bit of pain when he follows through. He has zero interest in even taking shots beyond 40 metres.

It’s not the first time he has gone missing in a big game

 

[Sewer de Lance]

I really feel for Duursma, because he’s capable of so much more then whatever that was tonight. He’s lost a yard of pace & looks completely void of confidence.

I hate calling out MacEntee because he doesn’t select himself, but he wouldn’t even get a game at Norf, yet seems to have a gold pass at our club.

Finlayson’s form has fallen off a gigantic cliff. No influence whatsoever. Some embarrassing efforts by him tonight.

Marshall is another one who is mentally & physically weak. Just doesn’t impact the game enough.

A Captain has to lead from the front which Wines failed to do once again. He’s gone from Brownlow winner to cheese dinner in a blink of an eye.

As a whole, we just don’t look like a genuine finals team. So many wish washy players who lack the resilience, intensity & internal drive to ever be successful. A straight sets exit looks like a formality at this stage.

 

[JimmyBC]

It’s not the first time he has gone missing in a big game

No I'm not saying it is, I said during the game he was shite.

It's just a reality he's carrying an injury, getting jabbed & not training much.

 

[StuMan]

I see the mentally weak losers coached by the perennial mentally weak loser lost the game of football.

Shocking...

 

[portly]

A timid coach produces timid, reactionary players. A soft coach.

Which is why Hinkley should not have been re-signed.

 

[FutureShock]

I'm beginning to suspect Ken may not be entirely correct when he says you get what you deserve. Ken deserved to be moved on 5 years ago and supporters deserve better than watching this garbage year after year. It just doesn't seem to be panning out.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Waiting for a Janus review of the game

Why wait.

Bullshit stats
Bullshit excuses

Followed by more bullshit stats and hypotheticals to show why next year is the year.

Wouldn’t be the first footballer to carry an injury into a game and to be honest I am sick of hearing excuses for some of these players.

 

[Dandyyyy]

Fine. I give in. I've been quietly confident coming into this game but that was pathetic. Finlayson needs to pull his bloody finger out. Duursma needs to be dropped. Where was the fight? What exactly was the gameplan?

Just another insipid effort from a team I thought had a bit more grunt this year. Pathetic.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Finlayson needs to pull his bloody finger out.

The time for that is long past. He needs to GTFO.

 

[Nelso]

Oh great he must be genuine in his concern for us then and not tugging himself off to the thought of us going out in straight sets.

Don’t give a s**t what he thinks about Ken, he is a *ing tosser.

How is that 40 point winning margin for Port going?

All of us realists could see the writing on the wall well before this game.

 

[FutureShock]

Geez I hope you're right, if we can replace him with a genuine football person getting rid of kokhead is just as important as getting rid of kern.

Unfortunately he'd be replaced with an AFL approved seat-warmer whose mandate would be to maintain stability and not rock the boat.

 

[Interstater]

Wife watched the first 3 quarters of a Port game with me for the first time in about 5 years.
She was very surprised to discover that young Jed (who she looked after at childcare) was playing for us.
That made her night.

She went to bed at 3/4 time, I snoozed off halfway through the last and woke 15 minutes ago and figured, why not read about what I missed. Nothing I just read surprised me.

As long as the happy clappers had fun.
Roll up, roll up, 2024 is our year.

 

[b0ydman Jr]

This game was so stale and boring I'd rather watch another F1 Max Verstappen procession. At least that way Ferrari would make me laugh and enjoy a moment of it, unlike this game.

 

[Ported]

Thought we held our own until the injuries despite constantly shooting ourselves in the foot. Brisbane transitioned way too easily all night.

Duursma just way off it, needs a good preseason without injury and he'll be back.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Another glaring issue is having the worst AFL leadership group in the AFL
Jonas can’t make the side
Wines dreadful year
DBJ shouldn’t be in the side
Compare their performances to Cripps Moore Gawn Greene and even Jack Steele

Not sure what I did to deserve this.

This is a fair point
Time for Houston rozee and butters to be the c vc and dvc of our side. Lead by example.

That's fine but why are most of the side mentally weak.. I mean the old saying you reflect your leader.

 

[Dandyyyy]

Can't believe Jed's pressure didn't get us over the line tonight.

 

[Willsy10]

Oh well atleast he'll say it publicly

What’s that going to achieve?

Great to see Lord have a break out game. It might be the first time he’s kicked three or more in any game since joining us. His first two goals were extremely creative from ground level, half chance opportunities. Then two strong marks in the goal square. Competed on Andrews well for a lot of the game. A shame more experienced teammates couldn’t go with him.

He played on one of the best defenders in the AFL, played in front and competed unlike Marshall and Finlayson who both give off terrible body language and just look uncompetitive.
