Review Good bad ugly vs Port Adelaide R8 2024

[MrBarry]

Bit annoyed that JHF is going to be bloody good.

He is, but we'd have lost a lot of depth had we got him. Not worth the trade off. Basically giving up Rachele, Dawson and a couple of others.

Thus Kenny press conference is great haha. Going on and on about the mistake to play Rozee.

Any bloke with a brain knew not to play him haha

And the admission that something did show on the scans when before the game they said there was nothing.

HTB interpretations for Kornes-Mummy boy and soft as butter. ****ing joke.

 

[CrowBloke]

Port's complete domination around the ball put our defence under the pump though.

Yes! It was not our backline who "let" them have 23 scoring shots.
This poster (below) nails it.

Port supporters will blame their inaccuracy for the loss, but our defence pushed them wide and did not give them any easy shots, which made it really hard for them to score goals. Our defence was massive again.

Well said.

Ugly. In that 4th quarter Port broke through our defenses repeatedly, with multiple shots on goal. If half of those had been accurate, we'd have lost.

Oh I missed that bit. Only kingy after game saying he wouldn't have played him.

I thought it was very obvious that if your star player twinges a hammy you don't risk them the next week.

Ugly: we had 72 tackles for the game. Did we get anyone HTB?

Good: Our goal kicking. 7.2 at half time with the 2 behinds being rushed. 12.6 all up. 2 of our 3 wins this season have been when we’ve kicked straight.

That’s 3 of our last 4 we’ve won (and the loss was by under a kick). We’re getting our groove back. Still got a bit of a hole to dig out of but it’s not the doom and gloom of the first month.

Ugly: Port’s goal kicking. Enough said.

Entertaining: The knives out down the road.

3 votes Worrell pretty easy I thought yet we have to look always at who touches the ball the most. Soligo deserving but Worrell was faultless and full of flair and dare. McHenry made me laugh and Laird's middle part of the game was limp - we didn't play as well as many think. Backlines and ROB yes forwards ok tho saw Keays 5 times all game it seems. Smith looked like the guy who carries water out to the players. Curtain should have stayed on if he was up to it. How could a human not say Schoenberg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> McHenry Nank deserves great praise for such an inexperienced player. Cook meh! Rachelle was near our worst.. mostly no awareness far too often.

Low ball

Low test

 

[Dirty Bird]

Great: Soligo, Crouch
Good: Dawson, Michalaney, Worrell, Rankine, Fogarty, Keane, Walker, Hinge
Average: Butts, Nankervis, Laird, Sholl, Keays, McHenry, O'Brien, Rachele, Curtin
Bad: Jones, Himmelberg, Cook
Terrible: Smith

Also; Was I the only person furious about that pre-match shit about violence against women? WE HAD A ****ING GOAL UMPIRE MURDERED IN A MALE ON MALE CRIME THIS PRE-SEASON AND THERE WAS LESS FOCUS ON THAT THAN THIS. As much as I'm against domestic violence. Don't play the ****ing sex card. ALL PEOPLE CAN BE THE PERPETRATOR AND ALL PEOPLE CAN BE THE VICTIM.

 

[Danger in Texas]

We look so much better with Soligo in the guts. He's the classy mid we've been crying out for.

Great thing about Soli and Dawson is they are hard nuts both ways, as well as being sublime ball users

Far cry from the Laird/Crouch/Keays/Sloane days

One I reckon

 

[IntelligentFish]

Good - Soligo, Max, Keane, Fog, Worrell, Rankine

Port supporters will blame their inaccuracy for the loss, but our defence pushed them wide and did not give them any easy shots, which made it really hard for them to score goals. Our defence was massive again.

While some of their shots were difficult, I think most of them were entirely possible.

Crazy that.

The Port board is absolute gold.

Thank you.

Butters should have been pinged on three occasions. Different set of rules for that bloke.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

HTB interpretations for Kornes-Mummy boy and soft as butter. ******* joke.

The umpiring of HTB has become farcical and tonight stooped to new levels.

I just hate how they run with the ball, get tackled and then still get given 3 seconds to dispose of it.....

 

[Wozzza]

The good: Hinkley's upfront comments about domestic violence, and then owning the Rozee mistake.

I don’t think you need to be defensive about it. You can’t cherry pick one crime of male on male and use that as evidence of there being no issue. The stats don’t lie.

A colleague of mine is a massive Port fan. Today he said, 'If we kick straight, we should win.'

Lol
