Autopsy Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide - Game Discussion and changes for West Coast (1wk break)

["The Roar Is Back"]

Soft utensils continue to excite you..quote of the year!

Not seeing them is what excites me .

 

[Sol23]

Got no fitness Sante and as such looks lethargic . As his fitness improves so will his efforts .
The cm's are stripping off his arse and will only continue to do so whilst a pro footballer .

He is very slow!!

 

[TigerImposter]

Well I honestly thought we'd get over-run in the second half once they got their game up and going....

I guess we did what we did last year so well. We took the game on and didn't worry about it when we conceded goals....

credit to pretty much everyone. Morris was down but never stopped trying. Houli didn't start well (i think) but then put it and improved after that.

That was the RFC we've been wanting all season.

Gee you're a negative bugger. We were never going to lose today
Celebrating two milestones for TWO club champions
The boys were up today and 300@$2.70 was a nice return
FTF here we come 2015

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

you guys played very well, well done, but why today?

 

[Bazzar]

If Miles played from round 1 we'd be 9th

If i had put 50 thousand dollars on the Tiges to miss the 8 i would be rich

 

[tugga]

I'm glad we exposed them for the pretenders that they are.
How's this piece of class about Chappy from their board:

That made me a bit sick. I won't shed a tear of he does a knee. Or a neck.
Scum.

 

[Bazzar]

Because Port are overrated, lost your 4 of your last 5 and this so called fitness is backfiring. You shot your load to fast. Season almost over.

It helps when your opponent is only interested in running one way and applies no defensive pressure.

Pressure off.

Yeah, Morris was bad today.
I don't know if Dea is the answer though. He's looked a bit soft to me when he's had a go in the 1's.

Bit like us last year.

 

[tropicaltiger]

I like the part where Hardwick beat Hinkley

yes indeed, i think it was with about 15 mins to go hinkley threw up his arms and thought "this hardwick bloke has done me like a dogs dinner"

Havent we tried Helbig in the backline for the past two weeks in the twos?
Could be worth a look

So can everyone get over their Port inferiority complex now?

All we've heard all year is how Hinkley is so much better than Dimma, how we should've thrown $350,000 a year at Matt White and how stupid we are for giving them Jay Schulz and taking Chaplin and Thomas off their hands.

They are a good side and are still well positioned, but some of the hysteria surrounding them on this board is getting annoying. Every single thread Matt White seems to get a mention, even when it's got nothing to do with him.

Today basically summed up Matt White's year. Unsighted for much of the game, a handful of bad skill errors but runs in to kick a fantastic goal or two and everyone loses their s**t. He's the exact same player that he was last year. Here are his stats for 2013 and 2014 when not sub:

2013: 16.6 disposals, 4.2 marks, 1.0 goals, 3.8 tackles, 0.7 assists
2014: 16.4 disposals, 4.9 marks, 1.3 goals, 3.9 tackles, 1.1 assists

Hinkley isn't the mastercoach either. He made some good moves today but Hardwick adjusted extremely well.

At the end of the day they are in a much better position than us (even if they won't finish top 4), but I think we should stop talking them up as some sort of super team when in reality they haven't achieved s**t.

Like us this year too. Why we decide to start tackling in round 17 is beyond me.

 

[tropicaltiger]

If Miles played from round 1 we'd be 9th

not true, he needed some polishing

fair point, but let's see how they come out of this form slump. Every side has one.
I wouldn't write them off yet, but they need to improve in certain areas.
Oh, and when we dcided to tackle, we are actually a good side.

 

[TerraTiger]

Great win. Lots of positives I could mention. One I'd like to make mention of was houli. At least one stinker entry into fwd 50 in the first half however some really nice defensive efforts in the 2nd half. Marks and contests when it was his turn to go. Nice goal too. Well done bacher!

That was 2013 Richmond today, first time this year.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Also I forgot to mention: Petterd was fantastic today.

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

Ricky made the usual one or two clangers but he's got heart and leaves nothing out on the ground. Playing next to a guy like that lifts you.

 

[thefendoff]

Petterd is seriously hard done by on this board, has a serious crack everytime he's near it. Has played some pretty good footy lately

 

[tropicaltiger]

Like us this year too. Why we decide to start tackling in round 17 is beyond me.

we are finishing the year strongly, and we are maturing and we are good enuff to be good at both ends, footy has 3 seasons, pre season, main and finals.... we are still incomplete in all facets.... prob wont be til 15 or 16.... us supporters are so hungry. we tend to be critical instead of being patient, this is the best side i have seen since 1980/82
