Game Day Port v Melbourne

[finbarr]

Absolutely. Damning that Fritsch and Pickett took those marks against taller opponents though.

Oh, I'm not making any excuses. We are awful and play the most unsustainable, chaotic brand of football of all the non bottom teams.
But terrible umpiring needs to be called out.

 

[manureid]

Drew’s shown sfa like most of the others.

You arent watching him close enough. He gets a lot of hard inside balls out to runners. Great hands in close

 

[Portmagpies36]

And philthy will be in here telling us how Marshall can do nothing wrong, while he's showing less than Bailey Fritsch.

At the moment I am yearning for the days of Sam Gray at full forward! That's how bad our structure and ball movement is.

 

[HotSausage69]

Melbourne look up to the task tonight, playing with much more energy. Marshall needs to be dropped, Georgiades would want to show something in this second half too or I'd be sending him back also. Some weak efforts all over the ground.
Butters maybe back too early, hasn't quite had an impact.
Bergman, Drew, Boak all been good (Boak htb brain-fade aside)
SPP running around like a headless chook

 

[philreich]

First 10 minutes of the third may decide this - 2 quick ones to the Dees, and it's just about over.

 

[backtozero]

Carn. The sh*t thrown at him tonight has been ridiculous. You think he’s to blame for this loss?

You think he’s even in the top 15 culprits?

How many marks has the rest of our team taken inside 50?


I’m going to call out the anti-Marshall crusaders when they make their stupid comments

I called it… as soon as we looked to be playing so bad I said well here will come the Marshall haters to crack Into him and I was right.

Dude it was a joke.


But really he's **** on a bull atm.

 

[Us against the rest]

Is Marshall the new butcher?

No he's worse.

 

[Visenfest]

Disappointing but not surprising. Honestly, can we develop some kind of system of moving the ball against good teams that doesn't involve bombing it forward? Why aren't players running hard to defend? Why aren't they running hard to provide options when we have the ball? How many more players will we churn through before we realise the common denominator is the coach?

 

[chiwigi]

We are moving the ball ridiculously slowly against one of the stingiest defences.

Interesting non plan Hinkley you campaigner!

 

[MrMeaner]

Really, it’s our entries into the forward line that is s**t. We are way too congested when it gets there because of the loopy way it comes in. That’s why May et al look great.

 

[HotSausage69]

And what's happened to Houston? He seems invisible out there these days

 

[JUSTWORK]

Unpopular opinion: if anything we have had the rub of the green so far, even taking in to account that Kosi howler

We deserve to be about 3 kicks down. If we are keeping Ken next year we just have to be looking at replacing Bassett. Has had too many chances now.

Sack them both

 

[Harlott]

The forwards have been garbage. But we’re asking them to manufacture something because we’re as sure as hell not kicking anything to their advantage.

 

[spookism]

SPP on the ball has no awareness. Love his pressure but he just sprints at the stoppage blindly for the all or nothing play. He needs some serious lessons in regards to body work etc. at the stoppage.

See ball. Get ball. Oh s**t.

 

[OneGreatClub]

This is winnable if an easier avenue to goal can be sorted but that's where you know it's unlikely to change.

If our coaches made some changes and some useful advice and a kick up the bum to the players but I doubt they have it in them. Haven’t seen much of Butters. I guess we were pinning too much hope on him being the difference.

 

[sobrave]

Comparing wines and Viney. Viney is a s**t truck. Petracca and Oliver are their keys, Viney is a 4th or 5th stringer at best

 

[PJ Power]

First 10 minutes of the third may decide this - 2 quick ones to the Dees, and it's just about over.

Unless we start playing at break neck speed, we won’t be able to score freely enough against this mob to close a three goal gap in a half.

 

[Thunderer]

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Comparing wines and Viney. Viney is a sh*t truck. Petracca and Oliver are their keys, Viney is a 4th or 5th stringer at best

Viney is tagging Ollie

 

[Marmozet]

Sydney fans always said to us that Aliir is a confidence player and you shouldn't play him out of position.

 

[GoTheMightyCrows]

Really need Scotty to step up, gawn is giving thier midfield silver service.

 

[Portmagpies36]

I agree. But this is how we play every week and our forwards do nothing to demand we do any different. That whole quarter or forwards played behind their opponents and still failed to out mark their opponents. How about a lead? How about some spread? Get some seperation maybe?..... Nah

100% they don't work hard enough, they need to make 5 or 6 leads not just stand behind their opponent.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

I just wish we put as much time into.butcher that we do with Marshall

 

[Jojay]

Someone get on the blowa to Clarko

 

[Capital Power]

Always watch our game without audio. For the last ten minutes I tried without video as well. Strangely cathartic. Just hope BF doesn't crash.

Sounds like we're not going anywhere in a hurry. Can't imagine how we're going to win a final.
