Well he better have his field kicking and decision making boots on because he missed a few simple targets and that one decision making when he had Rioli free but elected to kick it to Dixon who had two cats players on him was baffling.

We could be playing South Adelaide on Friday night and not many would be too confident.
Jed could be the next Kane Cornes!
doesnt know who Drew is
has heard McEntees name this week in relation to Stewart
= get rid of guy i dont know and put a tagger in there
he looks like a roast chicken in that photo
That was from behind the goals. Track him from any other angle and he'd be lucky to clock 3.33 km/h.
He’s quick. He was one of the quickest over 20metres and the agility test at the draft combine.
The fact is not many afl footballers are slow these days.

He's fast over 20m but seems pretty redundant when he can't get his hands on the ball.
I don’t think lack of pace is his issue, I think it’s just lack of football smarts and talent.

Some damning footage on afl 360 about our stoppage work..
Highlighted the lack of defensive pressure of our mids

I haven't read through this whole thread but if we go with Dixon, Esava and Jed in the forward line this week, we simply won't win. It's as simple as that.

I don’t think we can play two horrendous games in a row.
We went from playing Demons, Cows and Freo - who are all overly defensive teams that basically flooded their defensive 50s and packed bodies around the stoppage, to having a week off and then came out playing a fast moving cats, with a contrasting game style - who could win clearance and opened the game up at every opportunity.
Hawthorn will do the same and will want to play fast, I don’t think we will be as slow out of the gates for this one.

Would be ridiculous to drop Jed given it's #Jedtember.

There is just no path here to victory.
Hawks by whatever. Our combined losing margin over the two finals will be greater than our entire score in the two finals.
Hawks have been crafted by Mitchell to hit the premiership metrics. Post contest ground ball gets, they’re number one. Port are 16th. They’re better offensively and defensively.
Essentially they’re faster, work harder, move the ball quickly and with purpose, stretch the ground and score emphatically. They are dynamic and can change as needed. Arguably their best player is out, multiple key pillars in defence and attack are out (these weren’t that good to start with!), they’re younger, less experienced, playing away from home and yet port will not get near this hawthorn side. I can’t think of any moves we can make, players we can bring in, hell even if we could choose from our entire list, even players that have left over the past few years, we still don’t get this done.
Hawks have us beat tactically, for pace, for skill, for game style, for confidence.
Honestly our only hope is carnage injuries for the Hawks and even then I would still back them. Scratch that, our only hope is that the hawks forfeit.
I’m not sure I’ve seen a match, between finalists, like this. Where it is so uneven and poorly matched, where the higher placed side just has no chance whatsoever.
Kinda shows how important that Geelong game was and that maybe a wee bit of effort might have got us out of this miss. What am I kidding, Scott had us beat as well, the lack of effort just meant it was 80 rather than 30.

Based on this it wouldn’t have mattered if we beat Geelong or not, if hawthorn are as invincible as you say they are we would’ve had to beat them in the gf to win the flag anyway.
I honestly think this hawthorn wank fest on here is getting a bit too much. Yeah they will prob beat us and KH sucks but I don’t think I’ve experienced a supporter base in finals gush over an opposition team so much.
Maybe it’s part of the coping mechanism, but it’s a little overstated and getting a little bit repulsive for me.

Its a bit like the GWS Kingsley wankfest, it becomes nauseating after time. Yes stinks is crap but do we have to dribble on about the magnificence of our opponents. Think the loser mentality is spreading right through all elements of the club and supporters.
