2nds Port Adelaide vs Sturt - Round 9 @ Alberton

[philthy05]

Been a very disappointing last few minutes for port. Should be piling on the goals

 

[Interstater]

Garner is the next Houston, huge ceiling, a very deliberate player.
Can't wait to see him play more AFL.

 

[Janus]

Dixon’s obviously a bit too good for this grade

Like I said, one and done for Chuck.

Him playing in the SANFL is a waste of time. It's good for blowing out the cobwebs, but 13 disposals, 6 marks (2 contested), 3 tackles, 4 hitouts, 3 clearances and 5.2 in his first game in six months shows you the difference between an AFL key forward playing in the SANFL and a guy who is finding his way.

Should be straight in the team against Fremantle paired alongside Howard so he can get some run into the legs. We're going to need him against Geelong.

Good tap by Grundy

It’s not a waste of time getting some match fitness in a week where there is no AFL game.

 

[philthy05]

Frederick too fast for the cameraman lol

 

[RossFC]

Poor finish here.

 

[Interstater]

Not sure if you have been watching the game Janus but Dixon would get Jonas'd at AFL level. Definitely needs a run here.
Was blowing hard often today.

Frederick too fast for the cameraman lol

And for his boot

I said it was good for blowing out the cobwebs, didn't I? But obviously not going to get the fitness required for AFL level in the SANFL, so he should be straight in the team next week.

 

[philthy05]

Hugely disappointing final qtr

Just sucking the enjoyment out of the win.

 

[RossFC]

FT Won 12.15 85 to 10.5 65

 

[philthy05]

If Sturt hadn’t of missed a handful of gimme goals this game could have finished so close despite port dominating for 85% of the game

It was 25 shots to 15. We had a disappointing last term, but their goal kicking had no impact on the result.

 

[philthy05]

How is he giving Kirkwood votes (he had a very good game) when ladhams dominated sturts rucks to embarrassing levels

 

[Interstater]

Good win Port.

A Barty win, Crows loss and belting of the Indians would make for a solid weekend.

They missed several super gettable goals

If they nailed those the end result would have been closer than 20 points even though port was better for most of the game.

 

[Interstater]

Now that Sutcliffe is an AFL player, will they remove his photo

 

[philthy05]

Ladhams 19d 7clr. I don’t know hitout stats but he was dominant.

Drew 29 2g and 9clr

 

[Andre]

From the commentary here I’d bring Dixon in, but leave Wines in for another run at SANFL level.

Covering a tall forward not fully fit, who brings other improvements to the side is fine. Rushing back an inside mid, when we’ve got that covered, would be a mistake.

Another test for Ken to see if he’s learnt anything from rushing mids back too early previously. Stuff him being Captain, it’s a team game.

There we go 46 ho for ladhams.

 

[philthy05]

Drew ladhams and garner have to be viewed as the future of this football club.

 

[Magus]

Sounds like classic Ports

Overuse the ball
Don't score 100 points
Leaky defence
Dominate the stats for an average win

 

[Powerage]

Here to ask a dumb question. I want to purchase a 30 day digital pass. Have gone to the URL provided but at some point it asks me to select a club and Port and the Crows don't appear as options. Only the other 8 clubs.

How do I purchase a 30 day pass for Port games?

 

[Doctor Feel]

I'd be leaving both of Wines and Dixon for another week.
