Review Rozee's Port adelaide respond with a loss

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.

Dont forget he had a set shot from 35-40 out and didnt even make the distance

He was a witches hat

 

[GremioPower]

Finlayson - 3 marks
MG - 3 marks
Lord - 2 marks

Thilthorpe - 10 marks
Walker - 5 marks
Fogarty - 5 marks

So, we are bad at GB-gets and we cannot mark the ball. That’s worrisome…

 

[Expat power]

Thank you port for allowing me to cop sh!t from my coworkers all next week. Btw drop that deadbeat Meade and jettison him to the sun with McEntee

Might say a bit more about you than it does your coworkers.

He started well but he doesn’t ever look fit enough to finish a game

 

[Expat power]

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.

There was 30 minutes where we didn’t score - generally quietens the crowd.

 

[ctpower]

our goalkicking once again cost us

We are putrid from a set shot.. regardless of the distance..

Finlayson and Georgie’s killed us with their poor kicking

 

[ctpower]

Wonder what we would look like at the moment with the 2022 version of Todd Marshall. He was really threatening to break out and command our forward line.

It’s a huge sliding doors moment as I also had hopped for him.
I’m also not giving up on Luko and would go back to him after the bye if he’s ready

 

[Jojay]

Rioli plays, we win.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

THEY RESPONDED FOR KENNY

THEY'VE SAVED HIM AGAIN WITH THIS BRAVE PERFORMANCE

IF you don't like that go and support the cows

 

[Portmagpies36]

Boak was awful. Lot's of junk possessions.

So you would prefer someone who has 8 possessions in the SANFL such as a McEntee?

 

[n4nirvana]

Keep Berg in the midfield and dominate the midfield every game; eventually the math will work out on the inside 50s like the Celtics volume 3 attempts .

Horne-Francis electing to kick around the body from a moderate angle in the 3rd quarter instead of kicking a drop punt despite being on the right side for a right footer was the precise moment we lost that game. Kick that goal and we're 3 scores up and we've got a centre bounce with all the momentum.

****ing sick of this lazy around the body shit. I don't care if the number say it gives you more chance, a drop punt is always easier to execute.

Other teams execute this shot well regularly. I think it's just an extension of our overall poor conversion which is an extension of our overall mental fragility as a club.

We should as a starting point be practicing goalkicking way more than any other club as it's the area that we stand to gain the most out of but unfortunately Training Services pretty well runs the football department as far as I can tell.

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed the increasing prominence of the head of Training Services? Not only does he sit right next to Hinkley but he now literally has the magnet board in his hands the entire time. This is what losing the plot looks like.

 

[Brian McGee]

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.

2 years ago when played as a full time forward at Gold Coast he had a 39 goal season in an average team. If he brought that output to our team alongside Georgiades we would be significantly better and far more difficult to defend, because he will open the forward line up more by being the only player on our list that can be reliable with a shot from 50 out. Give him a chance.

Keep Berg in the midfield and dominate the midfield every game; eventually the math will work out on the inside 50s like the Celtics volume 3 attempts .

He will stick around if he gets more mid time too.

I’m watching games more dispassionately because of the Hinkley effect. I did go into the game expecting a bigger loss. Thought the teams were pretty even for most of the game. But we made more skill errors that cost us goals. Also their hack kick forwards more often hit a Crow on the chest and our hack kicks did the same. That’s what tends to happen when you play in front.

You can pick lots of single incidents in the game that were costly. I’m picking the missed shot at goal by JHF in the 3rd qtr in the fwd pocket. He should have nailed it. It would have put us up by 15 points. We had all the momentum at that stage but from that point it swung. You can pick other incidents but that’s the one that stood out for me

 

[FishingRick04]

Our mistakes and turnovers were costly. We scored from stoppages rather than turnover.

That was the biggest issue, they must have scored 5 goals from our short kicks not hitting a clear target. Awful that was the game.

 

[GremioPower]

I got a few solid hours of sleep in

The game was still today for me…

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Port seem incapable of recruiting and/or coaching talls.

How is that fixed?

A big part of it is a gameplan that refuses to allow space for any of our key forwards.

Prefer neither Boak's game in the sanfl was nothing but turnover galore trash he should retire this morning.

 

[Pafcsince86]

He will stick around if he gets more mid time too.

If he plays as soft as he did this week hopefully get a decent draft pick for him

Terrible call, we have no depth paying boak in the 2's is a massive mistake. Mcentee and mead half the player he is even if he did turn it over and is 36

 

[backtozero]

I'm more pissed off about this one that I thought I'd be.

Did you watch the sanfl game? Boak was fukcing awful

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Y'all are on extreme copium if you think Lukosius is the saviour.

Guy played VFL last year.

I will be amazed if the forward line is better when he comes in for Lord.

The irony is that last year's corpse of Dixon probably helps the squad right now.

If nothing else his goal kicking will be a huge improvement.

Look at Flogs ability to capitalise on limited opportunities with goals.

Luko needs to play off half back.
