Review Round 21 vs West Coast

[gbear]

Just think.

If Koch and KT were the infallible brainstrust everyone says they are, they would have called his bluff and let him walk to the Queensland Shitshows.

If he stayed, he had one year left on his contract.

Perform or GTFO.

And instead of the completely deserved GTFO he'd be copping in a fortnight, we're now chained to this Groundhog Day until 2021.

Well in, Port. Well in.

We could all see this, but apparently those 2 clowns could not. 1000 or so more days of Ken being at the helm, please say it isn’t so.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I’m going to sleep now.

Goodnight you c**t of a footy team and goodnight season 2018!

 

[JAlexG]

Apart from the absolute rare odd game from one of them, the 3 big names we brought in over summer have been a massive flop.
Ummm’d and ohhhh’d over it for best part of the season but can’t justify the cash, length of contratacts and the hype around them three for the output we’ve received so far.
Failure of the system is where I’ll put my money.

Well we had just stumbled into 5th and lost a home final to 8th, so he did look a million bucks at the time.

 

[Portmagpies36]

This is bullshit. The players did an awesome job in the last quarter to hold on as long as they did without Dixon or Ryder helping them win the ball, and arguably our best ball user oh the night in Houston.

It was literally 19vs25 and we lost after the siren after Westhoff was pushed in the back as he was about to win the centre clearance from the final bounce.

Are you serious can you explain the continual lack of composure in close games ?
Why does Tom Clurey mark the ball on the 50 metre line and hold on to the ball for all of 4 seconds and kicks to Robbie Gray who is marked by 2 players why doesn't he eat up 30 seconds or chip the ball backwards when we are 8 points up with less than 2 minutes on the clock.
Clearly you don't think there is a problem in close games to suggest otherwise is absolute bullshit. A

 

[Duck Farmer]

He's right though but not for the reasons he thinks. He's right because when they went down the panic set in. It's the same panic we've seen multiple times each year from 2007 (and before that in the pre-2004 finals series). We just don't have the mental strength the older amongst us remember.

I've heard that our VR match simulator has only program: defendlikebuggerywhenupby15inthelast.vr

 

[Established1870]

We need a mass clear out in the coaching department. It's obvious when Ken has good people around him he gets teams playing good footy but this defense at all costs bullshit is going to cost us big time.

**** Bassett off ASAP.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Has a team ever gone siren to siren without leading once and won a game before?

Seriously, has that ever happened?!

If someone finds that it has I bet it will be against us.

 

[The wily weagle]

If you guys can draw one big positive its that whoever you had playing on Darling tonight was sensational and gave him an absolute hiding

 

[broombroom9]

Bad luck guys. Shame for the injuries at the end it was shaping up to be a really good finish. Thought you blokes played some really good footy and I would have been happy with an honorable loss.

We dont let you lose.

I won't require a duvet tonight. This is all the warmth I need.

 

[broombroom9]

Come visit the Geelong autopsy thread...

I think our teams should merge. Between the two lists and two coaching teams, we could easily end up 6th or 7th next year

You at least know success. We've been a basket case ever since you destroyed our playing group in 2007

 

[PowerLil]

I want to make him a 10-year coach

Piss off Koch.that was the most ridiculous bullshit statement ever made. We are not here to make KH a ten year coach. Believe it or not, the Port Adelaide I grew up supporting was never about one person. It's about the club and the supporters. And this supporter is freakin angry.

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

Any truth in the rumour that Ryder has been playing with a hernia?
Was it one goal in the last half?
Be interested to know our possession count in the last 2 minutes

 

[Duck Farmer]

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.

I don't know. Maybe picking Frampton instead of Sam Gray given the opposition were playing two ruckmen and our's has recent form in not seeing games out?

 

[yepits2020]

Hinkley’s presser. He is really hurting. Dixon gone for the year, badly strained or broken ankle. Ryder must have taken a heavy hit in the game, and may come up next week. I would just rest him and call it for this year. Seriously, today would have been a good game to bring him in. Frampton should have played five games this year by now. He will get absolutely destroyed by cox and Grundy, but we will need to play him.

 

[yepits2020]

In hindsight, yes.

 

[tribey]

that was the most ridiculous bullshit statement ever made.

It was that it came so hot off the heels of "we know who you are" and "we can't tolerate another year of failure".

Two wins later and he all but pulls his pants down and bent over.

 

[broombroom9]

5 goals in Q1 - 4 for the rest of the game. They kicked the last 6

thats been happening most of the year though, its nothing new

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Get rid of Koch as chairman.
Six years now.
The cleverest guy in the room ain't so clever.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Whoever says that we should have won that after losing Ryder, Dixon and Houston in the space of five minutes is utterly clueless.

Our whole season gone in that moment. What an absolute joke. What the **** did we do to deserve that? I am so gutted right now. An easy win robbed from us due to injuries. Now we probably miss the 8. **** off.

We should have won when we were 8 points up and 90 seconds to go, lacked composure. FACT

Who cares if Ken's hurting, he's paid a significant amount of money to do a job and he's doing it poorly. I have ZERO sympathy for him. It took most of last year and this year to even consider playing Frampton and he still hasn't done it. He is responsible for this. He is responsible for the way the team plays. He is responsible for their lack of skills. He is responsible for on-field performance. Him and him alone.

 

[Us against the rest]

The part that shits me off the most, Ken doesn't seem to learn from previous bad calls, in particular no back up ruck man. This loss imo was mostly players poor decisions and deer in the headlight stuff, not much has changed.

Gee's Ken, do you wish you gave Billy some AFL game time now.

 

[Capital Power]

Ooooooo. Rick said penis. Report
