Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 17 - Port v Demons Thurs July 8th 7:40pm EST (AO)

[Shane Heard]

Push all our defenders up the ground. Back our defenders to beat their men, which is why teams are always so open in their forward line against us.

Chip it around half back until a magic opening opens up.

If that doesn’t happen kick long to the opposing ruckman so he can mark it.

Rely on our midfield numbers to shark a ball somewhere and kick to the zombie horde from world war z in our forward line

(Magic happens)

We score (eventually if we do it enough someone does perform magic)

Excellent summary

Zombie horde forwardlines are underrated

Well…there’s always next week to try it again.

Hinkley’s use of Aliir was breathtaking.

Massive loss for the Port Power football club tonight. Probably takes them out of top 4 and premiership contention.

Real choke tonight

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Port against good sides fair dinkum

Utter flat track bullies

 

[BACCS]

Port are 4-22 against top 4 sides since 2016.

They were in contention? You don’t lose every game against good sides and be in contention…and that was before tonight!

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Another typical Port Choke.

Suck my baws

Of course they were, win tonight and they were second on the ladder at round 17!!! That’s contending

Form slump over.

Also called flat track bullying and they are masters of it.

The best bit is they cant afford to sack hinkley..they are stuck with him unless the AFL pay for it

 

[Lampers]

Funny how the Eagles and Lions “Demons got a free, it’s a conspiracy!” trolls all disappeared right about the time it was obvious Melbourne were going to win…

Hinkley’s use of Aliir was breathtaking.

Lever look absolutely terrified at the start of the last qrt standing next to that Port version of Xerxes.

Masterful coaching by Kenny.

Visionary.

Don’t tear yourself apart pet.

It’s not worth the heartbreak.

Nah, too much is read into the minor round. I still think with their draw they will finish top two.

I was at the game tonight, Melbourne far too good

I don't think I have ever known a player like Dixon to fall over so much. I have always thought he plays for a free but no more evident than tonight.

 

[WillHayward]

maybe Port can get there favourite son , Nathan Buckley back to coach them

It's actually quite a good idea

 

[RUNVS]

Hinkley’s use of Aliir was breathtaking.

Making the same mistakes as Longmire, moving him around and making him lose confidence. Aliir is a pure defender, he can't really do anything else.

Looks like a typical Port supporter. Takes a loss very well and someone the whole family can be proud of.

Someone just said Wines had 33 touches. Probably the most non-damaging and least influential 33 touches I’ve ever seen.

 

[Scythe94]

Really hope we take a leaf out of Kern's playbook in future and play Lever as a loose defender, then a lockdown defender, then a ruckman, then a deep forward all in the same game. Tactical genius

I watched the whole game. Unless he went incognito I hardly noticed him, I do recall he kicked a snap goal other than that he was meow!

What’s the opposite of flat track bullies where you’re 100% against top 6 sides but look like s**t against everyone else
