2nds Sturt vs Port Adelaide - Round 2 @ Unley

[PJ Power]

Good snap from Weideman after some good player from Lorenz (x2) and Linke (great mark on the lead). 4 points down. Fighting at least.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Is the comeback real?

 

[PJ Power]

Walsh caught HTB in defence when he had a chance to release the ball earlier. Rushed behind Sturt. 5 points down 12min30 last quarter

 

[PJ Power]

Is the comeback real?

Not sure yet

 

[PJ Power]

Jackson makes so many mistakes. Doesn’t know when to kick.

 

[PJ Power]

Walsh sloppy again. Gives a soft free away near goal. Poor five minutes from him. 11 points down. Mistakes from handball and tackle continue to hurt us.

 

[RossFC]

Well they’ve screwed up any chance of a win

 

[PJ Power]

Another very soft free kick to Sturt leads to another goal. Game pretty much over. They’ve been much better at clearance. Our defenders are constantly caught out of position. Our stoppage work is way inferior to theirs.

[Long live PAFC]

Some casual play in defence from Walsh and Moss.

 

[PJ Power]

Walsh obliterated in this ten minute patch. Outbodied and outmarked again.

Jackson’s clangers by handball would be high IMO. A real over-user and over-thinker. Repeatedly takes the wrong option when in traffic in the centre square. Unreliable.

 

[Long live PAFC]

With Soldo, Moore and Jackson, we a should be killing centre clearances.

Sturt wanting it more at the moment.

 

[RossFC]

Wtf was that tap from Soldo, pretty much cleared it for Sturt

 

[TazD]

Bloody weak as piss

 

[PJ Power]

No idea why Snelling got that free. Having said that Barrett shouldn’t be fumbling that ball.

 

[Traveling_Power]

I know it’s early days for Berry as well, but I wonder if he would benefit from a run in the SANFL? I haven’t really notice him at AFL level yet.

Are Cochrane and Berry similar players? Could give Cochrane a full run in the AFL.

different players .. this from Rookie me Central

Joe Berry a small forward
SNAPSHOT: “A crafty forward with clinical finishing skills and a happy knack for consistently hitting the scoreboard with great variety.” – Michael Alvaro

STRENGTHS:

• Clean hands
• Evasiveness
• Finishing
• Scoreboard impact
• Smarts
• Work rate

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Four-quarter consistency
• Midfield craft

Berry has an incredible skillset, but above all, his ability to consistently hit the scoreboard is what helped accelerate his sharp rise this year
Berry's smarts and clean hands saw him navigate out of stoppages with great efficiency, leaning on a sharp turn of speed to come away untouched - much like he would to craft a snap on goal. He also has the work rate to play as a high forward or rotating midfielder, covering good ground and utilising his skills on the way back to goal. Add good defensive pressure, and Berry presents a well-rounded game.

Tom Cochrane - Midfielder / Forward

Offering strong contested work and prolific clearance-winning ability, Cochrane has the explosive streak that AFL clubs are searching for. He is gutsy overhead and clean at ground level, making for effective play through the middle of the ground in multiple phases of play.

STRENGTHS:

• Clean hands
• Clearance work
• Power
• Scoreboard impact

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Composure
• Kicking consistency

His power is also felt forward of centre, where Cochrane often hits the scoreboard. He is mostly sighted working high up the ground to help connect the play into attacking 50, leaning on a high work rate and booming kick to do so.
While such play is quite impactful, Cochrane can find improvement in his kicking. He'll often wheel away with bursts of speed before blasting the ball inside 50, but is capable of being more precise when lowering his eyes. Being more composed, more often will allow him to better reach his deeper forwards.

 

[RossFC]

Classic Port fadeout. Terrible.

 

[PJ Power]

Bloody weak as piss

They really are. There’s little improvement in this side. Centre square and stoppage work leaves so much to be desired. They then make error after error when in possession. They’re more like rabbits than footballers.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Defence has fallen apart but it’s due to a lack of contest up the field. Hard to stop quick entries

 

[PJ Power]

Classic Port fadeout. Terrible.

The way Sturt got so many players free in the last quarter resembled the Essendon onslaught last week. Our fitness and/or lack of concentration after 3QT is an issue across the club.

 

[Powerade 08]

Dylan Williams 1 rebound 50. We've found our Houston replacement

 

[RossFC]

Kyle Marshall kicks inside 50 to Linke, he slots the set shot from 25m. He’s got 3

Down 107 to 78 29 mins into the last

 

[RossFC]

FT: 2nd and 3rd quarters good, bookended by absolute rubbish.

With Soldo, Moore and Jackson, we a should be killing centre clearances.

Sturt wanting it more at the moment.

Haha I hope that is a joke. That is a shocking trio in the centre. Moore and Jackson are very average at best.
