Review Round 21 vs West Coast

[ozph1870]

Billy should have had 2-3 games at least under his belt to know what afl footy is like but now we go into an elimination finalesque game where he makes his debut on grundy... and 285cm cox..

Ports player management...

 

[pastmyprimus]

We couldn't even get our defensive structures right with just about everyone pushed back for the last centre bounce. McGovern took an uncontested mark. There should have been Port players in that hole, or at least standing in front of McGovern not behind him. Another example of dumb football

This fixture is cursed.

Looks like the fans have had enough too. Only 32k at the game. Supporting this team isnt good for my health farken

The moment Hinkley sent Watts down into defence at the start of the last you knew we were in store for a quarter of finger in the dike bullshit. We were never going to hold on and had to score but we just conceded all the ascendency to them and it was all over.

 

[Dentshop]

We have to be the most heart breaking team in the league. The worst thing is that it was always going to happen.

Collingwood by 10 goals next week.

The real pain is yet to come.

Sam Gray was a good in

I think it’s time to add a Ripley’s Believe or Not! into the Alberton Oval redevelopment plans.

Lol those plans aren't happening.

This fixture is cursed.

Fixture has nothing to do with it

At least the nfl preseason had started...

Yeah, but the boys got rolled as well mate!

 

[Del165198]

Other teams also have leaders that stand up....

Eg Wines kicking it out on the full allowing the point/goal to become a thing.....

Everyone of those games you will find something of similar stupidity...

Instead of people standing up in clutch moments we have spuds that do the opposite

Imagine westhoff taking the shot McGovern had...

 

[Peck]

Other teams play in close games too. But other teams don't get consistently bent over while Lady Luck goes in dry like we do.

If we had Geelong's run of pure bullshit good fortune in close games, we would've had a home prelim last year and we'd be equal top of the ladder premiership favourites right now.

Probability and luck are concepts port supporters don’t seem to understand man.

If we win we did good if we lose we did bad.

Exactly...

Ebert running past the ball

Clurey kicking it straight to an Eagles player

The third stringers did. The starters and back ups were good. Gallup looks really good, with Austin we finally have some pace..

Oh and the opposition don’t exist

See, ordinarily I'd be with you in blaming Hinkley for this, but down to one in the bench with Dixon off and Westhoff forced to cover for Ryder in the ruck, I don't really see what other choice we had. And if we'd held out for 20 seconds longer (or if Wingard's goal hadn't been disallowed because reasons) it would've been the right call.

Two weeks in a row Port have been the better side and lost narrowly.The last qter was very brave and Robbie nails that shot 9/10.Why I agree with an extra defender in the last qtr don't think Watts should of left the fwd line.Hard to coach the loss of 3 key players.

 

[Spadge]

I was at the game so haven't seen it again but it looked to me like Westhoff was infringed twice after that last centre bounce? And why the **** was Wingards goal overturned near the 3/4 time siren? I saw nothing that looked like a free against us in that play

Watts to the backlines was a good move, he did well there.

Except it robbed us of any chance we had of scoring. We were 100% impotent after Dixon went off

I’m actually not going to go to the Essendon game.
I’ve never been this pissed off at Ports.

Yeah, both look like they can actually catch the pass in the end zone as well!

We will be a 90% run team feedin Zeke, Gallup will be the beneficiary of oppo teams being too Zeke conscious.

And I thought Norf were the specialist in heart breaking losses

 

[afl2004]

Dixon season is officially over

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

The worst bit for me was that I barely even care. That’s what Port has become to me the last few seasons

The second worst bit is that this was entirely predictable.
