Autopsy AFL 2023 Second Semi Final (Week 2) - Port v GWS Sat Sept 16th 7:10pm EST (AO)

[Osho]

Not as much or as often as the giants

It was torturous.
I needly lost my sanity, my balance, my remote control as I flung it onto the balcony.

He would probably want that moment back again. If they weren’t 5 kicks down going into half time, perhaps he behaves differently.

I think it says more about how Port Adelaide as a whole handled the Giants midfield and scoreboard pressure as the match progressed.

No issues with Butters on this issue. In context, he had the mark in the area and the lady ON THE GROUND was not moving her things out the way which was impeding him. He was clearly frustrated and i do not blame him.

Get out of the way lady

GWS get a 6 day break. Probably a step too far
Really really unfair that it’s a Friday night game.
Do GWS stay in Melbourne ? Surely they planned ahead and just straight there to prepare

I doubt they would’ve burdened the players with preparing for a whole week away when it wasn’t confirmed before last night.

They’ll most likely fly to Sydney today, on-feet sessions at Olympic Park on Tuesday and Thursday, and fly down to Melbourne on Thursday arvo. It’s not ideal, considering Carlton get 8 days, but the AFL don’t care about that.

Suck it port flogs. Went out in straight sets. Got no first round draft pick and signed Ken for another 2 years

 

[Scritchyscroony]

There is no way Hinkley is coach of the year. Kingsley a mile better, Voss for getting into a prelim, or Ross Lyon take your pick

Kenny is a master coach.
Kochie should have extended Kenny more. Kenny deserved a bigger extension from Kochie.

 

[Great8]

How he is still on an AFL list bewilders me

Would have had a bigger effect than McEntee

There are appropriate ways of doing things. This is not it.

In hindsight, pretty obvious result. Port barely scrapped past Essendon, who were reamed by GWS....
But seriously, didn't see that result happening, where GWS could've won by a lot more.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Rozee put in a staggering amount of soft efforts, like he did in the 2021 prelim. Super player, but has to be harder in games like this.

Agreed. I said to a mate early in the 1st quarter that Rozee looked like he was off with the pixies.

Same here, jumped onto AFL app at half time and couldn’t believe the score line.
GWS are a serious team, but at home Port should be winning this game.

 

[Madblue]

So called 'stars' of Port went missing again when it counts

 

[What else we can do]

Commentators talking about the Giants travelling support as if half the people in Orange aren’t Crows fans

Loved the scenes on the hill when Toby Greene marked and kicked the goal, Those Giants (Crows) fans were going off.

Gws disadvantaged by 6 days break. Classic vfl.

Collingwood Finished on top of the ladder and won their qualifying final, so they play Friday night. Entitled whinging won't change that rule.

The games should be played on the same day. You can't defend this.

It's sh1t but last night's game was fairly bruise free for them. They should still be relatively fresh for the PF.

It's been the same for years. Can you point me to the posts where you were complaining about this in 2017?
The AFL aren't going to change rules just because you've been brought up to believe the world revolves around you. The way you change rules to advantage your club, or disadvantage others, is to get your future CEO onto the rules committee like Geelong did

Jason Horne Francis? More like Jason Horne Bye Bye

This is so embarrassing on so many levels

According to your standards, not mine.

Not with a six day break.

Won't matter as GWS are the best team around right now. They will still win.
