Review R3: Port v North Melbourne Review

[LFC2010]

I wrote that as they showed Wines in the ambulance. Slight mood killer.

Hopefully it's precautionary

 

[HighBudget]

Good win, we got the 4 points and that's all that matters. I hope Ollie Wines is alright. Bring on the Hawks

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Hopefully it's precautionary

Hate to be a negative nancy but it looked ****ed

 

[*PAF]

Crikey some of you lot watch games with blinkers and filters.
Mitchell provided heaps of the linking between 50s that we have sadly missed over the last two weeks. He had a good game and played a big role.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Just want to check. We beat North Melbourne? In a close game? At Etihad?

 

[madman]

God no. hopefully Ken has learnt to keep Neade and Mitchell in the SANFL unless they really impress. Like really really impress. Really

Yeah the origami expert should stay in the SANFL, although you'd feel a bit stiff getting dropped after that game winning goal.


I'd like to see more of Ah Chee throughout the season.

We are in front of last year now. Freo beat us over there, Sydney beat us in Adelaide and last year the kangas got us over there.

POSITIVES:
- Great hang-tough win against a top 4 finalist from last year
- Pittard and Broady look in AA form after 3 games. Don't be surprised to see at least one in the final AA team
- Ryder was huge. Monstered Goldy
- Shultzy's goal kicking looked what we've come to expect
- Hartlett run himself back into form
- Krak looks like 150+ player
- Boak's last quarter was huge

TO WORK ON FOR NEXT WEEK
- Small forwards are our achillies heel. Impey is no longer a fringe player and is part of our structure. Thomas almost single handly beat us. Against Breust, Puopolo and Rioli next week, we need to play much tighter
- Bar Ebert's 4th quarter tackle and Patty's chase down, our tackling is quite poor. Higgins effortlessly broke 3 tackles in the first quarter and Krak's 4th quarter effort at half forward was poor
- Our kicking efficiency forward of centre needs work

All in all, a terrific result and Hinkley's game style is exhilarating to watch. Still not yet at last years standard but definitely a step in the right direction. North played into our game style and that won't happen next week.

Bring on the Hawks!!!!!!!

 

[neade2wingard]

That was the most stressful way to avoid going 0-3 I can think of.

How much better do we look with Young and Krak in? Just gotta hope Ollie pulls up ok. Slight downer.

 

[BornPort]

Props to Gray and Boak for standing up in the last quarter when they were needed.

Happy for Mitchell.

Can't wait to watch this game with the knowledge that we will win.

Ryder is a gun.

What a croc .....useless apart from one kick

 

[dinger]

If Young is dropped, mark my words: I'm 1v1'ing Hinkley @ Alberton.

 

[Port 2004]

Lucky to get that win. Those wins when you play terrible are still wins! But a pretty hollow victory really. Especially seeing wines

Are you for real. That is great win every day of the week. Geez.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Yeah the origami expert should stay in the SANFL, although you'd feel a bit stiff getting dropped after that game winning goal.


I'd like to see more of Ah Chee throughout the season.

Yeah he will probably get dropped. I'd rather see him play a full game. But maybe not against the Hawks.

 

[edgie]

Happy to win.

Didn't play great but a step in the right direction. Gameplan slightly more effective, along with a couple of key players stepping up.

Gray to midfield seems to be our new plan B...

Last year we would switch him up between midfield with no real change in momentum, if anything him going forward was the gamechanger in out favour. Is this an indictment on our 2015 midfield, or a credit to Gray for being a champ?

 

[Macca19]

Mitchell was fine for all bar 5 minutes where he was playing in a bloody back pocket, which outside of the Ruck would be the last place i'd ever look to play him.

 

[Hartletts Heroes]

 

[Gee Dub]

Trying to be positive about Ollie's injury but how could you break your wrist by pushing off and opponent?

 

[BIG DADDY]

Broady, Paddy and Pittard were sensational
Boak and Gray outstanding
Ebo terrific

 

[ozph1870]

But what happened to this disposal efficiency that we were hearing about all summer?

was much better tonight, no safe chippy chippy pretty rubbish that we dished up the first two round. no pointless huge stats to blokes racking up huge possessesions on the half back line but going nowhere, just proper fast aggressive footy, yeah disposal efficiency was down, but footy smarts was way up. ill take that every time

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

If Young is dropped, mark my words: I'm 1v1'ing Hinkley @ Alberton.

He would be top 5 today, it won't happen.

 

[Lighthouse End]

That my friends is better than sex.
Beating that pack of scumbags beats a mind blowing orgasm any day of the week...
Gotta go watch the recording all over again now ....Well done Boys!!!

If wines is out, great chance for Moory to come in and perform.

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Just want to check. We beat North Melbourne? In a close game? At Etihad?

Yes. And Kane Mitchell kicked a set shot in the dying moments to guarantee us a win.

Just want to check. We beat North Melbourne? In a close game? At Etihad?

My dicks out so yeah it happened.
