Review Port roll over against an actual club

[The Hobo]

Thought Sinn was good again
Sweet decent and improving
Jackson

Not much else

Forgot to mention

Goalkicking from MG was good
Luko and having a player able to kick goals from outside 35m consistently is promising, but more importantly opens up forward gameplan options.

 

[Harlott]

Really frustrating game to watch with all the turnovers, dropped marks etc leading to goals for Brisbane.
Jackson knows about football.
Something tells me Drew and BZT won’t be part of any future successes for the club. They are average footballers with no weapons.

 

[gbear]

lol the predictable loss.

 

[GoPorts]

Has had injury issues, hammy, shoulder etc.

Suspect he's still carrying that shoulder a bit

I'm going to be furious when he misses half the pre season with surgery rehab and then gets gassed by 3qtr time through next year

 

[Adz2332]

And why should next week be Boak's farewell game?
Did you actually watch the game, or posting for likes?

the first quarter momentum killer boak. hes clearly not part of the plans next year and we cant play finals. get some game time into some youngens

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Season is over anyway, just play Berry in Powell Pepper's spot from next week.

Play as many young kids as possible

Play the kids with potential like Lorenz and Berry

Not the ones we will delist like Ana and Charleston

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Pissed it away in the 1st quarter when we couldn’t hit a target in our forward 50, despite the game being completely on our terms. Yes, Colgate Ken is a complete ass clown, but that shit show was on the players.

Really tough on SPP, just when he looked like rediscovering some old form, he’s gone for another 12 months.

Poor Rat just can’t get a clean run at it either after hitting career best form in recent weeks.

The List needs work, but one feels Carr’s got enough to work with to turn things around in the next few seasons.

I was only half watching this game so I could be off but from what I did see it looked like JHF had just about the worst game of his career. Felt like every time I saw him with ball in hand he followed it up with an unforgivable clanger that an ammos player would be embarrassed by.

 

[Willsy10]

A real mixed bag tonight. Some really good stuff, some really bad stuff, and devastating injuries.

Lost the game, but at least showed some fight and didn’t raise the white flag like we did in the Geelong game when faced with similar adversity.

Butters, Rozee and Georgiades are having great seasons.

Luko looked great, I think him and Georgiades are going to be great together.

Shattered for SPP though, that sucks, was playing a good game too.

And Hinkley, wtf. That was weird.

If you watched the full game Hornet had a lot of key moments whilst yes unfortunately stuffing a few up but there was good defence at critical stages too and brave situations. Whilst not his best form he still did good. just bad moments that were costly.

I am praying they don’t recall Mead, Finlayson Burton etc.

It wasn’t that bad, but it was a poor game.

 

[TazD]

I watched Sinners

Need Slim singing the blues when we play

 

[Izzy01]

Such terrible forward entries and bad defending summed the game up.

I noticed plenty of complaints in the game day thread about the songs. Imagine being at the ground subjected to that torture, year after year. My ears were bleeding.
They are pathetic supporters, I hate going to that ground. Burn it down.

 

[True__Believer]

Out of all our losses this year, this definitely was not the worst. Bar that 15 minute burst in the second half of the first QTR we went toe to toe with them despite the injuries. Good signs from Jackson and Mitch got the help he desperately needs up forward.

 

[Willsy10]

Boak was good tonight. He deserves more kudos I reckon, yeah he isn’t the same player he once was but to be nearly 37 and to still be producing performances like that is impressive. We’ve got worse list cloggers than him.

He should only be allowed to dispose with his hands which are still elite but he shouldnt be allowed to kick

I was on a plane when the game started, landed and heard about Esava and Vincentini and knew we'd be f*c*ed. There's injuries and then there's structural injuries and Esava has been huge for us this year. Losing 2 talls like that is a hit and then for SPP to have done another possible ACL..very hard to beat the reigning premiers at home with one on the bench. I was in between flight 1 and 2 and could only listen sporadically to the last quarter but from all accounts it sounded like we "refused to die" early in the fourth and Luko and Georgiardis kept us in it until they couldn't. Not sure about the Boak hate as both SEN and 5aa said he'd tried his guts out and done some good work but like I said I missed a lot of of the game so not sure.

Is that it now? Are we mathematically done? And can someone fill me in on Hinkley and the joking around in the box - srsly?

 

[DSL64]

the first quarter momentum killer boak. hes clearly not part of the plans next year and we cant play finals. get some game time into some youngens

And what exactly did he do in the first quarter that killed our momentum?
Come on, surely you can blame him for our loss...

He only had 27 possies at 81% DE

 

[The Hobo]

He should only be allowed to dispose with his hands which are still elite but he shouldnt be allowed to kick

Went at 81% with 13 kicks. His first kick of the game stood out like a sore thumb though.

Never been a great kick, but isn't as bad as ppl make out. Definitely not bad enough to lose his kicking licence.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

I haven't been disappointed in JHF's game since the match against Essendon this year. Not sure if he still isn't 100% fit or simply had an off night but some of those kicks resulted in turnover goals.

 

[davesnothere]

Not angry.

We blew this season months ago.

Thought this was winnable and it was.

You don’t have to be dead to be stiff though.

 

[raptalia]

I am praying they don’t recall Mead, Finlayson Burton etc.

They will, you can bet they will.

 

[raptalia]

Apart from that awful 15 minutes in the first quarter when they blew us away we were reasonably competitive. Bad luck for SPP as he will miss the rest of the year and most of 2026. Apparently Hinkley got emotional as he realised this was likely to be the last game in which he coached Sam Powell-Pepper
