Game Day R3 Port v Fitzroy, at the Gabba

[PJ Power]

A lot to like about Rozee and Butters again. Should have Marshall in the team - he has poise in front of goals. Sam Gray, one good tackle then coughed it up. Howard’s confidence is shot - he is nowhere near it.

I’d move him forward. He’s a massive liability now. Stinking up even the most basic of possessions. Even his spoils come off the side of his fist.

 

[Black 18]

We're so close to being a real good side yet so far too.

How may times are guys going to get away with half-arsed efforts when it truly matters.

Too many inside mids in the team at present and they aren't good enough forwards to think 'resting' them up there is a viable strategy.

2/3's of the side really want to win, the other 1/3 it's all a little too hard unless they can get easy uncontested ball all day long.

 

[StrappingTape]

Bullshit. It was a gutless dog act because in modern footy no one expects to be hit then. He's a gutless sniper and has been from day 1.

lol. yes no one expects to get hit sitting under a ball in open play.. you sound like an absolute idiot who has never seen football before.

 

[Vagabond0]

How much of a typical hinkley performance is this lol

Sorry which shot did Kenny miss.

Enough senior players out there to be accountable for their own action rather than hiding behind Kenny.

Second half will tell. No reason to panic we've got their measure make it count.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Hipwood the difference, 5 straight goals and we are missing easy goals.

 

[Contested Marx]

Probably said already and more eloquently but Hipwood now from Brisbane persisting is why Marshall shouldn't have been dropped

 

[El_Scorcho]

We're way on top, we're just not getting it on the board. Gotta keep that stoppage dominance up.

Jonas and DBJ have been fantastic.

 

[simmo_bc]

Butters is old school Port, genuine spunk and hard as nails

 

[Waspy79]

Robbie Gray cannot be considered a champion. Unfortunately I will remember him for his pathetic set shot conversion as much as for his brilliance.

 

[LeoMessi]

What has happened to the Hoff since round 1? Has been anonymous these past 2 games

 

[Port81]

3 games in and Rozee is our best player.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Swap the hoff for dougal after half time.

Not a bad idea.

 

[snozulu]

We miss Watts

 

[PJ Power]

Rozee is amazing. He could be anything.

He’s been inspiring, as has Butters. They have both shown amazing leadership today. Boak and Lycett are the other two playing like leaders.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

lol. yes no one expects to get hit sitting under a ball in open play.. you sound like an absolute idiot who has never seen football before.

And there you go resorting to the cheap shot. It was only a matter of time. No wonder you like Cameron so much.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Melts aside. We are playing absolute garbage and only down by 2 goals. We can win this

The problem is we're not playing garbage around the ground. We absolutely smashed Brisbane in that quarter. We're not going to get much more dominant than that.

We were just incredibly wasteful in front of goal, should be nearly five goals up if we could kick straight.

 

[chachi11]

Better quarter, our forward line and goal kicking is shit.
If only we had a tall forward..

 

[Duck Farmer]

Look at those eyes you can just see the saw dust n sticky tape holding the whole cranium together....

As much as I'm no fan of Hinkley, he can't be blamed for senior players missing absolute gimme goals.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Robbie Gray cannot be considered a champion. Unfortunately I will remember him for his pathetic set shot conversion as much as for his brilliance.

Massive over reaction - he is a super star.

 

[elsler]

bad kicking is bad football full stop

 

[Del165198]

I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but think about how different this would all look with Marshall up forward. Genuine goal kicker and option.

Sam Gray should have come in. Wines should have stayed out.

he got dropped for daring to make us look like we have a structured forward line. thats not ok with kern

 

[Troopsy]

Playing well. Just. Not. Kicking. Goals.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Have muted the commentary. Can’t stand it.
We are sorely missing Hammer Watts Dixon, maybe even Leinert, Amon

 

[Portmagpies36]

Kids have been great, senior players same old unreliability and crap finishing.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He’s been inspiring, as has Butters. They have both shown amazing leadership today. Boak and Lycett are the other two playing like leaders.

Rozee is freakish. Every week he shows a bit more.
