Review Round 3, 2026 vs West Coast

[manureid]

We are shit
Eleni actually won them the game
However. We are shit.

 

[2121]

Wher is shocking lacks any penetration or leg drive.

Lukosious isn't a forwards arseh*le, force him to play down in the role were trying to Marshall to play, if he doesn't cut the mustard there he can play his contract out in the magoos.

Mead wasn't any good last year as a half forward mid hes certainly not a backmen either, stop giving him games.

Jhf needs a serious ****ing rocket got all the talent in the world but puts in **** all effort.

No idea how brodie got a gig over wines. A 45 percent fit wines is 3 times the player he is. If he was any slower he would be moving in reverse.

Mackinlay just isn't an afl footballer.

Positives
Whitlock continues to grow will be very good once he finds the gym if we even have one at Alberton.

Lai took the game on got caught a few times but we will live with that.

Butters does butters stuff but has no one to go with him. We must capitalise on everything he is worth if he's leaving.

 

[Windy Cindy]

In what world is Rat overweight? Dude is jacked as fk

He just has an inability to win a 1on1..

Plays like he’s new to the game.. gets caught inbetween or out of position so many times

Like most of our backline I guess.

 

[GoPorts]

Does anyone want my tickets? Platinum membership in the eastern stand.

How much are you going to pay me?

 

[Portmagpies36]

West Coast are playing pretty good football so no shame there.

I like the fight we showed in the 4th but yeah, at least half that team won't make it, and its better we finish bottom 5

4 goals up then don’t show jack for 3 quarters (at home) against a side who has won 2 games in their last 24, no shame there? **** me

 

[Doctor Feel]

Nope

 

[dunderclod]

Hope I'm wrong but I get the feeling from Carrs demeaner he is fine with finishing bottom.

Nah we need a complete reset.

Bottom 4 is where we need to be. Especialky this year. Go to the draft with our natural pick plus 2 or 3 first rounders from Butters trade and start a rebuild.

No chance luko plus back.. he was an embarrassment down there.. u need courage to play this game..

Wehr is an sanfler.. that’s it.. I don’t care how good a team mate he is, he can’t play just panics when the ball gets near him

 

[Portmagpies36]

Too many passengers. Wehr, Mackinlay, Mead, Berry etc.

Agree these are B graders who shouldn’t be playing AFL but where are the highly paid players on our list when the whips are cracking?

 

[Doctor Feel]

I do think the clean out 100% needs to extend to the recruitment team. They have had their chances. More than enough.

 

[stewie griffen]

Luko goes back
Mead goes out
Wines in
Brodie isn't an afl footballer

Our mids were destroyed
Our pressure was atrocious
Our talls couldn't take a mark

No club would have those 2 let alone the ridiculous exorbitant contracts they were given.

 

[chachi11]

What was the point in recruiting average 27 year olds in Wehr and Brodie?
Would prefer if we played young skinny 18 year old kids to old plodders.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Can we please not have eleni do anymore of our games.. please!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Did berry touch the ball after quarter time? I genuinely dont think he did.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Too many dropped marks that shouldn't have happened

 

[Donuts_]

Not quite as bad as the GC loss in 2011, but some circumstances feel eerily similar.

 

[Scodges]

I don't want to shit on the guy as I was a little only watching in the background in the second and third quarters

But where was our two million dollars man?

He was focussing on brawling,instead of footballing

 

[Powerade 08]

I do think the clean out 100% needs to extend to the recruitment team. They have had their chances. More than enough.

They are too connected to Carr so none of that will happen. Carr even wanted to keep Davies around.

it all goes back to fixing the board

 

[tribey]

We have a few too many injuries which exposes our very average depth. Even so, this was a game that we absolutely should have won and won well. The most dissapointing thing is I expected a bit of a transition period under Josh Carr, but the one thing I thought would be a non negotiable with him as coach would be effort and intensity. Haven’t seen that in any game at all so far. If he isn’t tearing strips off the group behind the scenes this week there is something very wrong.

This is the concern when you promote from within.

He was a core part of the inner sanctum for the ‘We Exist To Remain Friends’ era, so it would be weird for him to start cracking skulls and condemning the methods he was a big part of as 2IC (especially with BugalugsJr over his shoulder ready to spill his guts over the impending Sunday roast).

I have faith in Josh, and am under no illusions he has a long road ahead over the next 2-3 years, but we’re not enjoying any of the benefits of a new broom who has no pre-existing behaviours, loyalties, relationships and promises to consider.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Too many dropped marks that shouldn't have happened

Mackinlay dropped a mark and then Georgiades dropped the mark. Sums up Port’s day.

 

[Coobk001]

We are likely to hit round 10 at 2W, 8L at the current rate.

The rebuild word is going to come out soon. Looking forward to the footy dept and board owning their failure and announcing it.

What a pathetic performance. West Coast got a sniff, lifted their pressure, and our systematic flaws and poor personnel became glaringly evident.

Mackinlay with 3 howler moments in the last.
Luko is the sofest, biggest waste of space ever and should not play for us again. Such incredibly bad trading and list management bringing him in.
Who was letting Kelly run around the back of every stoppage unchecked.
That ****ing umpiring non-Mark, which was clearly a mark to everyone, turned the chance to go in front into being 2 goals down. Not to mention the multitude of other poor decisions.

Ive lost my voice. We're shit, but hey I can accept it. We're 100% on the rebuild journey now and we need to be honest with ourselves and select and play that way.

We will finish bottom 3. Next weekend will determine if we are actually bottom 2.

[Portmagpies36]

Not quite as bad as the GC loss in 2011, but some circumstances feel eerily similar.

Definitely has the same vibe this year, the GC loss I think we were 7 goals up and Westoff missed after the siren.
Our list is soooo bad.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We lost that game in stoppages, and specifically post-stoppage clearances. That is a set-up issue, and is on the Coaches, but also on the midfielder who all collapse inside and leave the opposition runners free.

Yep this was where it started. Worse, when we did win a centre clearance we just kicked it to a pack where West Coast spent all day hitting targets. We revert to entering the forward line like Charlie Dixon is there under 1% pressure. We wilt absolutely pathetically under any pressure.

A complete lack for pressure after quarter time. Couldn't force a turnover. Couldn't move the ball ourselves.
