Review Review Port v Richmond - Rd 18

[Portmagpies36]

KT has been very quiet of late.

Hopefully he has been holding interviews

Bonner could be napping on a hammock in the midday sun and still need a nightlight on. Soft and scared of basically everything that goes on in an AFL match

Just a little unlucky I reckon

Our defence first plan isn't working, we are conceding big leads early in games. We can't get back into them because we don't play a forward line.

I had forgotten what bad Hartlett looked like. The last three weeks has reminded me.

Yet another faux Port tough guy, to go with Dixon, Jonas, Wines and Powell-Pepper

Please. Are you serious?

 

[VineValerian]

it was just a game of nothingness. i thought the players tried hard which is sometimes a criticism.

Agree. I complain a lot about our lack of commitment but I thought the effort was certainly there today. Execution was shambolic and below AFL standard. They play with that heart last week and we lose by 3 goals not 8.

"Siri, define being facetious"

 

[tribey]

Why are we racking up inevitable losses like this while Marshall, Ladhams, Drew, Atley and others are at the Magpies?

This is like Choco 08/09, pumping games into the Thomases, Logans, Thurstanses and Brett Eberts while much-needed youth prospects play SNAFFLE.

I don’t think he is being serious.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We could warp back to the opening bounce repeatedly like Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow and we would never find a way to deal with Richmond's pressure given how badly Hinkleyed we are.

 

[PJ Power]

I don’t think he is being serious.

Thank God

Truck load of chicken s**t. Merge this thread with the Sack Hinkley one.

There's always a winner and a loser.

Hey, I recognise that pile!

I know, right?

 

[malcheski]

Hey, I recognise that pile!

You would have seen it in the Port coaches box at the MCG just now

My submission in the "stupid things you did this week" .. I bought tickets to the Sydney game .

Reckon they'll be giving those away tomorrow.

I booked flights for the North game!!

 

[rumoursofwinter]

We didn't even attempt to play a forward line. It was bizarre. No attempt to win. Sack Hinkley.

Were you in the coaches box today ?

Go to a show or something...

We have a talented and reasonably balanced squad, our players are prepared to work hard and I reckon they're even very coachable. And there's the problem.

As a team our players are poorly positioned, they are reactive, they don't know how to block, shepherd, when and where to run to support, when to trust a teammate, when go, when to sit tight on their man, when to spoil, how to spoil, when to mark in the contest. They don't know when a contest is not over, how to kill a contest, when to keep it alive to advantage, how to read the umpiring, anticipate, quickly judge options and trust their instinct, how to use their bodies in a contest how to deal with body work from opponents.

Our players are terrible at the 1%ers

It's like they never train with intensity so when they're faced with it in a game they don't know what to do. After more than 20 years in this competition our players are still too light in comparison to all of the opposition.

Our new coach should be able to fix these things in one preseason. And can we get someone who believes in the value of the weights room. And someone who can intelligently react on game day - but has a solid basic game plan that can be trusted

 

[Power Raid]

Take a look at our mediocrity (ladder finishes)



How many more years do we put up with this? We have an ordinary coach, an ordinary list and perpetually 3 years away from a premiership window for over a decade
