Game Day Round 4: Ports vs. Essendon

[port_adelaide_1870]

We are right in this

You are literally watching another game, we are garbage

 

[Traveling_Power]

1/2 time

Power.... 4. 7. = 31
Bombers 9. 4. = 58

 

[bomberclifford]

"lucky it's only 27 points"

We've only kicked 31 in a half of footy.

:/

We are right in this

No chance.

 

[LeoMessi]

Garbage team

 

[It Just Is]

Weird quarter. Should have been further behind, then should have been closer.

Our midfield is well on top now but we can’t finish.

 

[PAFC66]

Boak has played one decent game this year. Rest have been crap. He has no composure and limited skills.

One good game vs Sydney.. hard dry deck he's awful

 

[GoPorts]

Playing Jake Stringer into form as it's typical for us

 

[wayb2912]

We are really shit, even if we come back and win it is so disappointing to watch us make the same frustrating mistakes every week

The most disappointing thing about this performance is that we clearly turned up expecting the same Essendon who got thumped last week.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

**** I love Ollie. Calls it how it is.

 

[noffle]

Rope-a-dope except that we have the defence of Homer Simpson and throw punches like Homer Simpson

 

[Young Gun #6]

Gray the only one doing anything.

 

[Power Raid]

no structures, no spread and poor ball usage is hurting

then add to that poor finishing for goal decisions have really really hurt

 

[nadsee]

too many errors, a lot unforced.

 

[Jonts]

we've had as many opportunities

fix up the brain farts and start putting up score board pressure

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Sorry but Watts is no good. There is a reason Melbs wanted him out. Adds nothing defensively and is about as strong as a wet piece of paper.

All of a sudden our recruits look very questionable.

 

[simmo_bc]

McKenzie has been solid. Houston too slow. Need more run from DBJ.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Gray kicks the goal instead of giving to Polec, we goal instead of letting Essendon run it down and get an easy rebound and then Boak marks that last play from the centre bounce and goals...

Then it’s a 1 goal margin.... pathetic at the moment !!

 

[PAFC66]

We are right in this

What drugs are you on. I want some

 

[GremioPower]

We forgot to take our football to Melbourne! I hope we didn't lose it in the airport. Has anyone contacted Adelaide's Lost-and-Found?

 

[Traveling_Power]

Disposals . bombers 199 us 177
free kicks 7 them 9 to us
clearances 23 them 22 them
inside 50s 23 them 27 to us
contested possessions 79 to 67 us
tackles 36 them 39 us
hit outs 24 them 19 to us
interchanges 43 them 40 us

 

[tribey]

As sloppymas we are, they are kissed on prick with the bounce today

The amount of times we halve a contest only for it to spit into the hands of an Essendon player second or third in the queue is maddening.

Even Hurley falling over at the beginning of that Stringer counter-attack began multiple coin flip moments that came up heads.

 

[Chrizzt]

The most disappointing thing about this performance is that we clearly turned up expecting the same Essendon who got thumped last week.

Nah we didn't. We came out expecting an Essendon who would be fired up ready to take us down - and we got spooked by it. Happens to us all the time, we can't deal with being hunted.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I can't blame coaching or structures, we're winning clearances and getting a lot of ball inside 50. I'm not blaming coaches for us missing simple setshots.
