Review R6: Port v Richmond Review

[Far Kern]

Just want to put it in here early, Toump was really good tonight. Consistently works hard defensively and does the hard stuff. Get games into him and his ball use will get better and better.

DBJ playing like a veteran. Hard as a cats head.

Someone said Ollie a captain's knock - so true.

Some good old Port Adelaide g & d at last.
I'm feeling only relief atm, no doubt tomorrow and monday will improve that.

the most impressive thing was we changed things up. it wasnt the same old rubbish, we actually made changes and mixed it right up.
imp up forward, charlie, hoff and howard up through the ruck at times, still got belted in hitouts but were much more mobile and competitive, broadbent through the middle not soft seagulling down back. polec responding the proper way after being given a rightful bake. impey finally allowed to show his dash and flair instead of being wasted down back. stewart back where he has always played his best footy.
much better, credit to the coaches, now stick with it...

This is aimed at the posters who filled our board with slagging the selections off, the coaching and etc and said we'd be beaten easily.

Enjoy that. That was the perfect line up for the oppo and the players played for the coach and each other. That's all we need. Now back the guys in and here's the chance to turn the season around

Didn't think our first half was good, thought Richmond stunk. Our second half was better and Richmond also improved a bit so it was nice to see us play some classy football under pressure.

Main positives were the contest and the defence for sure. Amazing effort to always be contesting every single ball and more often than not winning. Tackle count was amazing.

I still hated kicking to Impey / Ah Chee as our only forward way too often. Sometimes it worked, but a lot of what we did tonight will not work against the good teams.

When I look at Charlie Dixon charging at people on the field all I picture him doing is screaming THIS IS SPARTA before he tackles

Krak kicked the most casual goal I've ever seen tonight. He must have been hanging out with KT this week.

You know what. I think I'll join you. It's gotten to that point where the expectation of a good season has been let down for the last time. The terrible standard Richmond keep producing makes it easirt to let it go and laugh. It has come to this.

I feel for you buddy.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Edit that and hit "display full size", if you care to, sir.

 

[HaroldOliver]

Jared Polec, I love you.

Thank you good gent!

How good was it to finally see our boys hitting targets by hand and foot?!

 

[raman]

So chuffed with that result I might even go to Unley Dog Park tomorrow.

 

[Powerade 08]

No coincidence Choco is at Richmond and the whole team is flankers who kick sideways. Good win but we played Port 2011.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Couldn't fault the effort tonight. Well done. The losses to Adelaide, GWS, and Geelong were bad but they are looking like pretty good teams this year.

 

[Full Credit]

You bloody ripper. Full credit to Ken and the selection board. A weight has been lifted.

Your fans deserve better. Never done anything to deserve it

The changes forced or otherwise brought some freshness to tonights game.

 

[b0ydman]

Since everyone's usually so quick to bash the umpires on an off night I'll go the other way and say this was the most well-officiated game I've seen in a while. Aside from that goal umpire's call on Wines' GOTY contender I thought for the overwhelming majority of the game they let it flow and didn't play any soft frees.

I thought that as they walked off too. Maybe 1/100 games is that well done. Deserves recognition

You know what. I think I'll join you.

There's never been a better time to join us.

And viva la white guernsey and shorts combo. Facebook plebs who want teal can piss off. Always feel good when we wear that combo.

Polec and Krak make such a difference to our decision making and disposal

Both set up play superbly. Polec really was sublime with his zigzagging to create space and to make teammates become options when it didn't seem possible.

 

[tangolikelama]

Krak goal!

* yeah!!!!!1

 

[ClintEastwood]

No Wingard

No Ryder
No Schulz
No Monfries
No Carlile

No Worries

And the campaigners down the road keep crying "no depth". * off.
