AFL Autopsy Rnd 20: Loss to Port

[andon]

Tired, sore, injuries, and Port played really well.

The upcoming Dogs game now really critical.

 

[coastalpipeline]

Completely inept forward line, both conversion wise and also pressure wise.
Make no mistake, Port walked it out all day.
Stringer's first half was millionaire football, Fanta applied no pressure, Hooker was completely off etc etc.
Pathetic display which we always produce when we get ahead of ourselves.
Disgrace

More inept if we had Laverne in?
Usually kicks a goal and behind early...missed that today

 

[Doss]

No one wants to convert, Snelling kicked 2.
That tells you alot!

It tells you that Snelling kicked two. And not much else.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Bloody hell lay off Fanta...have we forgotten how good he is? Looks really sore, no where near 100%. Extremely hard position that small forward. Doing his best in a shitty situation with half out best 22 out or carrying something.

 

[TheBrightSide]

You know it’s not your day when a player kicks it to the wrong end.

 

[Darealrath]

Don't think this is a loss to melt over.

Very disappointing of course, but injuries really adding up and sort of one of those games where the other team is really on.

I doubt we beat the dogs either but this group has shown a lot of character so not going to throw them under the bus after one loss.

More like no one else on our team wanted to kick goals

 

[raptalia]

Out of interest, who of note is unavailable for Port?

Wines, Burton, Lycett, Ebert,Watts plus Motlop was dropped. Not sure how many of those would make the Bombers side but they have been first 22 for us this year.

Yeah I’m sure that’s it.

Bit of a shame too, one of his more technically better looking kicks!

 

[Knighta21]

Comprehensively outplayed.
Probably because we had no intensity and port took full advantage.
Missing targets and just bombing it into the forward made it to easy for them.
Smack out just ruined our structure and hope he's right for next week because I think the bullies are a better team then port.
Need to crumb to the opposition Ruckman because Zclarke is never going to hit it down one of our players throats.

 

[citizen-erased]

Ergh.
Thats about all

 

[DERO]

Now we can get back to discussing sacking Worsfold. Thanks ****.

Seriously though, they were too good and we have too many out.

 

[Duckworth]

I don't really understand all the Langford hate on here. I guess people can't see he is in training to be the next Zaharakis, and making good progress.

 

[vast]

Why is Langford still getting a game? We drop Laverde after 1 poor game but keep gifting this potato matches.

At least you know Laverde would have competed.

Now that's what we needed to do...find Rickman who plays for the opposition.
Sorted

 

[Seb78]

Wake up call right there. Ports best game V our worst game on display today. Credit to Port they were good. Langford, Zaka avoid physical contact way too much and its obvious, really hurt us us today.

 

[Lore]

See blitz meltdown

who or what are you talking about

 

[coastalpipeline]

At least you know Laverde would have competed.

Laverne kicks 1st punches on after
Langford handballs 1st kicks it out of bounds after and butters up with a precise kick straight to the opposition. He must have the worst disposal efficiency in football.

Haha sneaky edit

Folk lore

 

[essendon]

So concerned for our next 3 weeks.....just hope Bris beat Bulldogs, if not, Doggies will back themselves against us here and smell blood, Freo will.do us becoz its interstate and Pies last game by then will have half a list back.....costly loss plus percentage gonna hurt.....very very concerned

 

[DERO]

Kyle Langford and a third rounder for Jack Martin?

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

We were due for one of these losses. Can't keep getting away with poor play. Hopefully a better go next week.
