[port_adelaide_1870]

4.2 to 2.5 that quarter and people saying they think we will win this game. You’re kidding, we are shit

Angus would be rolling in his grave at this trash.

[PowerBaz]

Gray the only one doing anything.

Marshall is great, just need to isolate him.

 

[It Just Is]

Fantasia should be suspended for that deliberate trip.

Dangerous and unsportsmanlike.

 

[PJ Power]

Hombsch for Clurey next week pls

Clurey has played a stinker. Big backward step today.

 

[PowerBaz]

I also feel like we have all these forwards with no forward structure in the forward in or going into it.

 

[Stromageddon]

 

[nadsee]

27pts down and we’ve played awful, we are right in this game!

only 2 scoring shots difference.

we can do this.

 

[B0ydmental]

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.

I like him but I've seen 3 chokes today that massively hurt us

Hombsch for Clurey next week pls

Lol 2 weeks ago everyone was saying our good our defense is..

 

[*PAF]

Maybe, but they've been perfect.

Unfortunately so have we.
The number of stupid decisions, dropped marks and not sure what to call the riduculously bad shots on goal is bordering on the ridiculous.
Not even Janus would be able to spin it.

For mine the Ryder injury has given someone to opportuniry to get the Choco's old playstation out from the dungeons. We are trying to be so tricky in the coaches box that all we end up doing is confuse the players and trick ourselves.

 

[rogerjames]

Do we train under pressure. Any training session that is not conducted under intense pressure is a backwards step imo.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Robbie Gray can't handle even a little bit of pressure on his goalkicking these days.... heartbreaking to watch. And Polec, fck off giving him easy outs, then MISSING!

Something off with Dixon mentally too.

I used to think Amon had something, but I don't like his play at all any more.

Hey Port - Play. In. Front.

Amazingly we are still a chance.

 

[PJ Power]

Is Watts good though? Really ? He's great on a slow deck with little to no intensity. Great kick at goal but wont be a premiership player.

His lack of intensity is the worry. Has one gear only and it isn’t fast.

 

[PAFC66]

Fantasia should be suspended for that deliberate trip.

Dangerous and unsportsmanlike.

Where was the 50? Isnt that the rules?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

So disappointing that end to the first half. Just needed to convert and the scores would be close.

 

[Jakksynn]

We’ll need a really good 3rd quarter but we are right in this. Getting plenty of opportunities we just aren’t grabbing them. Clurey having an absolute mare, needs a halftime rocket.

 

[tribey]

Mental weakness has haunted our teams for 21 years.

Perfect opportunity to roast them last week.

Too many similar defenders and eventually they all struggle. Is this 2015?

 

[JAlexG]

4 more inside 50's
5 less goals.
Still kicks our ass that stat.

 

[El Zorro]

I also feel like we have all these forwards with no forward structure in the forward in or going into it.

Who needs structures when you can run hardery pal?

 

[QPower]

The Dons were criticised savagely during the week.

Perplexing the Port boys didn’t realise they would be desperate to atone.

 

[Smithy7]

What the bloody hell is going on in Robbies head .. Kick for goal FFS

 

[*PAF]

no structures, no spread and poor ball usage is hurting

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

Unfortunately it is that simple.
