Review Round 19 vs GWS

[Spinifex]

Our skills and goal kicking were deplorable as usual. I’ve become numb. I wasn’t even shattered that we lost by a point. Should never have been in it.

 

[DSL64]

Lost at the selection table

How many times have we said this?
Too many to mention.

Oh blimey, please don't tell me we've done another hamstrung?

 

[King_Tredrea]

I don’t get why people bother complaint about set shot accuracy ad nauseam. Players miss set shots. That’s reality.

We lost this game the same way we always lose games. Having no real targets up forward or any discernible method of moving the ball forward.

Was getting nervous there for a few minutes, but thankfully the result went our way.

Wonder if the 6-6-6 has killed Jonas.

Has looked like a joke all year without being able to 100% smash the ball without 10 defenders behind him.

It was obvious once 6-6-6 was proposed that the player type that was going to be most affected would be slow undersized KPD's, no longer able to rely as much on weight of numbers to help out. Jonas is the quintessential example of slow undersized KPD in the current AFL. How 2 - 3 million dollars of coaches couldn't read this and STILL appointed him as Co-Captain should boggle the mind. Except I look at our coaches (minus the new trio Brogan, Monty and Schoey who'd have had minimal input into this) and I'm not surprised at all.

The players were not clutch enough when it counted. That game was in Port's hands. They had control of their destiny yet guys like Sutcliffe or Dursma failed when they had their shots.

There were other chances earlier in the game when Port could have taken the lead and changed the momentum yet failed with their finishing in front of goal.

This post could've been referring to at least a couple of dozen Port games over the last 5 years.

How is Hinkley escaping what Pyke is copping..

They are hammering Pyke pillar to post on footy classified and Teflon Ken not a peep so far...

How? Why?

 

[NEGAN]

Holy s+++ now he is up for the Carlton job...

What
A
Joke.

This game is a joke everywhere.

 

[NEGAN]

Oh now Caro is pumping him up....as a great coach.

Lmao

Really impressive by Sam

Really impressive by Sam

Is it really too much to ask that our club talks about on field highlights in football terms, not lame pop-culture references?

Is it me who is wrong, or is it the children?

Houston 16
Rockliff 13
Amon 12 wing
Bonner 10 wing
SPP 9
Duursma 8 wing
S.Gray 4 (3i, 1w)
Sutcliffe 4 wing - Whitfield 8 wing
R.Gray 1
Rozee 1 wing

Rucks:
Lycett 8
Ryder 11

Centre Clearances (as per Champion Data/AFL.com.au
Boak 3

Notes:
- In a surprise given Sutcliffe was tagging Whitfield, not only did he only start on the wing 4 times compared to Whitfield's 8 - for 2 of the 4, Whitfield wasn't even starting on the wing and he was manning Hately instead
- First ever start in analysed games for Bonner
- First analysed game where Duursma hasn't attended 50% or more bounces
- Fewest starts for Robbie Gray in analysed games this season where he was playing
- First start for Rozee in analysed games since Rd 7

Robbie Gray with 1 centre bounce attendance is terrible.

How? Why?

Because Pyke coaches "The Proud of South Australia," not a small suburban working-class club from little Adelaide who keeps punching above its weight, like Ken does.

Ken is doing an outstanding job leading us to another middle-of-the-ladder season. Pyke, on the other hand, is an absolute failure not being able to have his team on the top of the ladder.

See you at the footy.

I can understand that in the SA media but not Melbourne.

It was truly baffling how Ken escaped unscathed and yet slightly defended and a touch of propping up.

I have a feeling Caroline Wilson protects him a bit...but then again so does everyone else bar ex Port Adelaide players (bar Kane)

That Melbourne media is buying the BS, now we can see how our club is valued in the footy market. It should be hard finding good sponsors like this.

Robbie Gray with 1 centre bounce attendance is terrible.

Forced to serve as our only goalscorer with natural ability because the coach refused to select a forward line.

Just Port things.

And all those that did rock up wish that they didn't.
