Review Rozee's Port adelaide respond with a loss

[Coobk001]

Hate how we're stuffing around with Moraes. Its time he just got some continuity at SANFL level. Give him half dozen to 10 games, if he starts getting rolling, bring him in, but right now hes s mile off it and lost all his early season confidence.

Crows still need to find there midfield, draper has to become all aus because they will soon start not having top 5 picks

The Crows are shit. We were terrible tonight and only some incredibly dumb attempts at goal stopped us from beating them.

There was so much bleating about how they'd gone past us and their list is actually good now on this board last week. They're bad. We had to play a terrible game to lose to them. Their forward line is excellent but their midfield and defence lacks quality and they'll be found out by the serious sides when it matters.

 

[Ports1870]

In: BZT, Rioli, Lorenz, Whitlock
Out: Mead, McEntee, Moraes, Lord

Bergman continues playing midfield BZT goes back

Our list is better and more talented but that's about it.

They are coached better. Their gameplan is better. Their players play with more effort.

They don't waste shots on goal a lot , it's why they are decent ladder wise because apart from the Clarko Hawks team and some cats teams the entire competition waste so many chances on goal for over 15 years now

Absolutely, and fortunately the cause of our problems is already on it's way to being fixed. We just have to wait a year for no reason.

If we'd sacked Hinkley in the offseason we'd have won that game by 8 goals.

McEntee for the Showdown medal

McEntee did a great job on Worrell in the 3rd in the goal square ... Worrell was getting so frustrated (at one stage I thought that Worrell was going to knock McEntee's head off - but he couldn't because one of the umpires was so close)

Funny this, alot of crows supporters hate the coach and want him sacked.

 

[ClintEastwood]

He played 1 game where we got absolutely destroyed all over the field (and he had a better game than Georgiades) and went off injured right at the beginning of the 2nd game.

Maybe let him play 2 games before declaring him a failure?

Who has declared him a failure? You said for no real reason. But there are reasons.

But you're right, he's pretty much been a failure so far.

It's a pretty funny take though. He played a couple of games here very similar to his lackluster GC games but "Waaahhh it's 2 games!!!111!!"

If you want to be super optimistic our club seem under hinkley at least will let there senior coach do as they please, if Carr is the guy he could put together a fantastic coaching and training department

The second part is definitely true.

The first part is debatable. We have a superior midfield group, but they have some forward line weapons we just dont.

 

[Dylan8]

That awesome turnover into the georgiades behind in the last. Bloody awesome

 

[rogerjames]

That was the most quiet showdown crowd ever. This club has killed the fans passion for the game completely.

Sure was. Was really weird. Mostly Port supporters from what I observed & most didnt think we could win (including me). And we should have won.

 

[rogerjames]

It's a chore watching us play, 22 inside 50 in a quarter for 2.6 lol

Sure is. Had to stop watching for a while. Couldn't handle the incompetence of our forward line. Same shit every year.

It's 1 game and about 3 minutes. Insane take to have already decided he won't work for us.

His GC output as a forward would seem him significantly improve our forward line over players who have replaced him.

 

[rogerjames]

The saddest part about this is that there’s just no emotion about it anymore. Who really cares that we lost again in the same fashion we have countless times. Same mistakes, same poor structure and same washed chances.

Previously this would have ruined my weekend and put me in a crappy mood for days. Now it’s just a shrug of the shoulders and who cares.

Well I'm in a ropeable mood. And one of the main reasons is I'm sick of Port supporters accepting this shit year after year. We expect the players to fight hard for a win & yet its hard to find a Port supporter who has any fight in them. The majority just accept this mediocrity.

 

[rogerjames]

Bergman in the midfield worked. We missed him badly down back though.

Finlayson and Burton both played their best games in a long time. I won’t hold my breath for repeat performances.

McEntee is what he is and should never play again.

Agree re Bergman. We desperately need him down back.

 

[Traveling_Power]

McEntee wouldn't get a touch in a brothel

he did have a good moment in the 3rd (close to the goal line for us) when he got into Worrells head .. and Worrell complained to the umpires

 

[ClintEastwood]

It's 1 game and about 3 minutes. Insane take to have already decided he won't work for us.

His GC output as a forward would seem him significantly improve our forward line over players who have replaced him.

Plus his preseason games. I haven't seen a single thing to make me think he's gonna work out well. I'm not exaggerating or speaking shit in the slightest when I say that he even makes Finlayson look to have urgency in his game.

He'll get his chances though. Let's bookmark this.

 

[IamKeyserSoze]

Lost the stat that counts the most - score bard.
Still haven’t won a 4th quarter for the year.
Didn’t expect to get that close tbh.
Poor skill execution and decision making the hallmark of Stinkly’s reign when the heat was on and the game up for grabs on full display again.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I am slightly peeved that Jones was content with letting the ball roll out at the end there instead of trying to grab it at full speed and give us one last inside 50 for the win.

Can’t trust himself to not fumble it so defaults to easy and safe which is sadly how the side has been coached.

 

[Total Power]

If we had a 1 on 1 KPD we win this comfortably. Also add to the fact that we are basically 1 man down playing McEntee. Willie plays and we win, even Cochrane. The crows are shit.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

I rescind my call on Ollie Lord being on thin ice, he probably should get the axe. His game was a lot worse than I thought. Too bad Port doesn't have an ideal replacement considering Marshall and Luko are injured and I doubt Port would debut Whitlock.
