Review Good bad ugly vs Port Adelaide R8 2024

[arsene wenger1]

Anyone else find it difficult at times to differentiate between worrel, michaelanney and curtain out in the field tonight?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Statistics don't lie

Are you trying to say I'm harsh on Reilly O'Brien and he is being robbed of AA Squad?

 

[MrBarry]

Great: Soligo, Crouch
Good: Dawson, Michalaney, Worrell, Rankine, Fogarty, Keane, Walker, Hinge
Average: Butts, Nankervis, Laird, Sholl, Keays, McHenry, O'Brien, Rachele, Curtin
Bad: Jones, Himmelberg, Cook
Terrible: Smith

Also; Was I the only person furious about that pre-match s**t about violence against women? WE HAD A ****ING GOAL UMPIRE MURDERED IN A MALE ON MALE CRIME THIS PRE-SEASON AND THERE WAS LESS FOCUS ON THAT THAN THIS. As much as I'm against domestic violence. Don't play the ****ing sex card. ALL PEOPLE CAN BE THE PERPETRATOR AND ALL PEOPLE CAN BE THE VICTIM.

What an absolutely awful take....

There has been a 30% spike in women being killed by partners year on year....

From the Pear board. This is pretty fantastic.

I’d take a poor Rash game over a good McHenry game any day

Wouldn't disagree with that...but it's a very very low bar.
Rash is way better than how he is playing. And definitely needs a rocket far up him.
McHenry needs to be delisted....full stop

Once a champion, always a champion.

Pull your head in. Or maybe just grow up.

Heading over to the port board for more of a dopamine lift! Must be in melt down

I lasted only two pages.

Had to leave for a lie-down, totally dessicated from their salty, salty anger and tears.
Me (but loving it):

I’m legitimately staggered they played Rozee. Truly. They really are a somewhat “successful” version of Fremantle. Absolute trash from top to bottom.

 

[Billy_01]

What on earth was port thinking playing Rozee. He was affected from the first bounce didn’t have any explosiveness. Risking their captain and best player for a game they were set up to lose anyway.

And Butters is so overrated runs around in little circles most of the time, letting us set up defensively. Like just trust your teammates to move the ball bro. JHF is a gun tho

 

[NSolis]

Thought Rachele was fine. Playing half forward is hard, very easy to fade out of games. Got a fair amount of the ball today, equal most score involvements on the ground, 3 goal assists. He's not setting games alight necessarily but happy with his performances.

In previous seasons he's faded hard after the first 6-7 rounds, so it's big to see him improving his consistency at this stage in his career.

Probably felt they had to, they lack the depth to cover him.

Sometimes. This is a good thing though

Nicks has done worse. He made an injured tom lynch sub. When he finally went on the ground the commentators said he couldn't run.

 

[BACCS]

MM just keep taking massive strides forward in his game. Felt he was nearly BOG heading into HT, hard to believe it's his 2nd season! Completely obliterated Rioli, who just looks so lazy most of the time.

And Butters is so overrated runs around in little circles most of the time, letting us set up defensively. Like just let your team move the ball quickly bro. JHF is a gun tho

JHF is easily the most ‘impact per possession’, but he only touched it 15 times tonight

Butters at his best is sublime, but other than a few bursts of speed he looked kinda off tonight. Him, JHF and Houston were clearly a level above the rest of their team tonight

Yep, he’s a key part of our ball movement in the forward half. Smart user, even if he isn’t getting a ton of it and getting caught a couple of times a game

Glad he got a goal tonight, too

 

[Shuestar13]

Nicks has done worse. He made an injured tom lynch sub. When he finally went on the ground the commentators said he couldn't run.

Taking your captain and one of most important players into a game with a hamstring complaint on a six day break and actively pushing them to play a demanding role in the middle of the ground is worse

 

[kirky]

Would be rather troll if we missed due to the Essendon game.

Lets be brutally honest, we didn’t deserve to win that game.

We have an opportunity to reverse the result at Marvel if we are good enough.

 

[CrowBloke]

Also; Was I the only person furious about that pre-match s**t about violence against women?

Probably, except for the Domestic Violence perpetrators (read: power-mad cowards) who were also furious.

WE HAD A ****ING GOAL UMPIRE MURDERED IN A MALE ON MALE CRIME THIS PRE-SEASON AND THERE WAS LESS FOCUS ON THAT THAN THIS. As much as I'm against domestic violence. Don't play the ****ing sex card. ALL PEOPLE CAN BE THE PERPETRATOR AND ALL PEOPLE CAN BE THE VICTIM.

Jeez, mate.
Seriously?

Seek help, asap.

 

[King Elvis]

We're winning despite Nicks, not because of him.

Nice to win, even with stupid selections and dumbshit sub usage - but we won't contend with him as our coach.

 

[BunjiMC]

He is everything I love in a player. Hard at it, composed, great decision making and skilful.

That lace out pass to Rankine was sublime.

Imagine how good he is going to be in 2-3 years!

 

[BACCS]

The only time they pinged Butters for HTB they gave us a stupid advantage call, when clearly we were not trying to take advantage
