They had 400 disposals to our 333. Think that was probably the telling stat from last night.
Its just as bad as Facebook here now.
'We' scoff at opposition supporters who vent and look for 'scapegoats' in a bad loss.
Some going as far as entering other clubs boards to gloat and bait.
Yet 'we' are the worst easily!
When we win, sack everybody
When we lose, sack everybody.
Doesn't matter the circumstances or ladder positions, everyone wants someone sacked!!
Get a friggen grip will ya's??
We were flat and looked slowish.
We compared well in all stats but our disposal let us down in the end.
Yes, as supporters we're disappointed and hoped for better.
Port are a very very good footy club, but it seems for some here, anything less than a resounding win calls for players and coaches to be sacked, abused and disrespected.

Yeah, fair enough. Meant no disrespect just the same. Actually I do applaud them for their long and illustrious career's. Hopefully Eddie will remain injury free and have a decent season, he is doing okay. Been really disappointed in Murphs output for a while, understand he does have shoulder problems and cannot do what he used to do. The sooner that Cunners bangs the door down and takes his spot the better, of course we are really missing Fish and Jack Martin up their atm.Old hacks?
People won't take you seriously with that tone/ lack of respect. Do better
Liddle is doing a fantastic job, plenty not going right at the minute but he is flying.
I think you need to get a grip mate

That 3 tall forward setup stunk. McGovern is so easy to play on - just stand in front of him and he'll never lead, because he starts daydreaming of getting easy goals out the back.
I really miss Charlie actually leading up to the wing when we're struggling to move the ball
Great post, I agree with you.Yeah, fair enough. Meant no disrespect just the same. Actually I do applaud them for their long and illustrious career's.

Saad and esp Walsh were outstanding.
Casboult kicked a couple of nice goals.
Some grit and heart shown in the last quarter.
Honestly, you would think we lost by 80 plus the way some here are carrying on.
We were rubbish for more than 3 quarters and still lost by only 28 points to one of the flag favourites.
We have plenty of improvement and upside, just didn't have the cattle on the night to match it with Port.
Needs to at least provide a realistic option. Standing 70m from the bloke with the ball waving for them to kick it over Aliir who's playing 10m in front of him is pretty unrealistic. Had half the stadium screaming at him to make a lead at times.I didn't think Gov was that bad last night; he's missed a bit of footy due to injury, and we rushed him back in too early. At least he was trying, even if things weren't working for him.
4. Tackling & Presssure, half arsed corralling, chasing efforts...We have 3 issues at the moment
1. Gameplan
2. Transitioning the footy from D50 to F50
3. F50 entries
Hungry Newnes demanding the ball and spraying shots nowhere near the goals killed us in the firstWas at the game last night and had good seats - was easy to see how Port pulled us apart.
1. We were killed, no, slaughtered on the outside. It was almost if Port often wanted us to win at the stoppage so they could force a turnover and then spread. Wines/Boak were so much cleaner than Cripps/Curnow it was almost comical in comparison. Unfortunately there is no fix to this aspect - we can’t invent outside mids. (Dow, Setterfield, Stocker all best suited inside). Jack Martin and Marc Murphy onball would be handy ....
2. Our basic kicking and handballing skills are appalling - telegraphed and not to advantage.
3. Our kicking for goal has been ordinary for too long. Port’s ability to covert was incredible. Could see the impact our misses had on the whole team.
4. McGovern should play third tall down back. Otherwise he should play VFL.
5. I can’t disagree anymore on SPS - not exactly sure what his role is down back.
6. Newnes, Betts, Gibbons, Casboult, Cottrell, Pittonet, Kennedy ... big question marks.
The most disappointing aspect was that I think we had a decent crack for most of the night - just simply not good enough.
I couldn't see that through Kayo, unless it's within 4m of the player you miss all that (if only they would zoom out occasionally...)Needs to at least provide a realistic option.

Would love for channel 10 to get the footy back they used to show more of the groundI couldn't see that through Kayo, unless it's within 4m of the player you miss all that (if only they would zoom out occasionally...)

cleared 7 million of debt in 3 yearsYour opinion, my opinion.
They differ.
"Flying"? How so?
Offering low game and freebie memberships to boost membership numbers - no doubt replicating models used for years by many AFL and non AFL clubs alike before that....gee.
Flying? When our onfield performance is inevitably as fickle, inconsistent and often insipid in 2021 as it has been for near on 20 years.
If that's "flying", perhaps you need "to get a grip".
Mate.
Standing around wanting the ball kicked up played into Aliir's hands who was just way too good for all of them. Need to move and lead and force him to commit to one opponentThe good thing about Charlie apart from his constant effort through a game is opposition teams are shitscared of what he can do. He can win outnumbered contests, follow up on ground level balls and link up if need be and then obviously use his huge engine to get into the forwardline and be a constant threat.
McKay is decent in the air, but mainly due to being super tall. Put someone in front of him though and he struggles.
Casboult and McGovern are useless and actually detrimental once the ball hits the ground and our opposition use their direct opponents to rebound through. Probably not far off calling time on Cas and trialling McGovern as a permanent intercept defender.
Don't you get the feeling that if we converted better the Port onslaught of the 3rd term would've lasted a bit longer? I really think they took it easy on us for large ish patches of that game. Their 80-90% intensity seemed to break us apart they didn't need the 100%Despite all that - the KEY stat was poor set shot execution - sorry to labor THE obvious point amongst all the noise mate.
No coach or game plan can survive our attrocious conversion rates - and if you dont convert you get rebound effect - almost as if they were tunrovers to disadvanatge and the secondary and tertiary derivative stats reflect this.
100%That is as droppable as I’ve ever seen an effort, sh*t like that is what should be a non negotiable with the outcome being a game in the twos as the only outcome
