Review R8: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide

[Redleg Crow]

There was nothing in it

There was also nothing in the Butters push that resulted in a goal. And the Soligo goal was overturned based on nothing

Yep. 3 goals taken off us

 

[SugarShane]

What was the rational of having the Showdown as an extremely rare double header on Friday?

The official line from the AFL is "to give interstate teams more prime time slots", obviously by hiding them behind a paywall for the rest of the country.

 

[Tex Danger]

Yeah its papering over the cracks, but given the circumstances it's in our top 5 wins of all time.

Not overall but certainly if you just isolate it to best finishes

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Carr looked angry after the game. I'm going to miss Ken cracking a smile at inappropriate moments.

 

[twiggy4PM]

The Good. Sceaming suck on that you Port Scum when the siren sounded
The Bad. Our entries into the forward 50. If we could deliver the ball to our forwards like we gave it to Alliir we would win by 10 goals.
The Ugly. Umps. Cant work out if they are incompetent or cheating

 

[CrowBloke]

Cumming was very poo I thought. Should be dropped.

That could have been posted post-game for the last 4 weeks ...

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wanna see that Milera goal again. I reckon what Rachele did you see 20 times a game in the goal line

And you're allowed to shepherd within 5m of the ball so even if there was contact it's still no free

 

[Redleg Crow]

And the phantom holding the man instead of holding the ball to JHF that led to a goal near the end too

Oh god yes. Forgot that.

 

[MrBarry]

So does anyone still rate Hinkley as a commentator? Sounded like he was almost ready to take the field in a Port kit at times. ****ing muppet.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Yeah its papering over the cracks, but given the circumstances it's in our top 5 wins of all time.

It's a bit like the Petrenko goal vs North Melbourne game

A thrilling sugar hit in a season destined to reach no great heights

But heck, right now I'll take it

 

[Slippery Pete]

There were decisions tonight that could’ve (and probably should’ve) cost the club the game and the club needs to pursue them with the AFL. Much easier after a win than a loss.

Everyone has had enough of this shit. That overturning of the Soligo goal was the most idiotic thing I’ve ever seen in professional sport.

Heads need to ****ing roll and the club needs to act.

 

[jackster83]

I don't want to jinx him but Milera has been our best player all year.

Robbed of one of the best goals of the year too.

 

[Anzacpaul]

We've won 9 of the last 12 Showdowns.

 

[CrowBloke]

It’s a crazy feeling watching a 4 goal lead disintegrate before your eyes and Power taking the lead with literally seconds left. And then that goal! Wow! The I’ve never seen the crowd all stand up and dance in unison. I don’t care about bad and ugly! How ****ing good is it to beat Port by a point.

Bovo, I couldn't agree more. I am elated .

(I wear a fitbit --- my resting hb is 62-64 when I'm sitting in my recliner.
When Cook kicked that goal it was 92, then it might've stopped and I don't gaf)

<<CLEAR!!>>

It'll probably be more entertaining on the re-watch

When Wines overran that last ball he just about blew an O-ring. The mask slipped a little.

 

[ReturningHawk]

Great win Crows. Milera non-goal the worst call I’ve seen in many years. Suck s*** Port, Karma bus hit em just in time.

 

[MrBarry]

Yep agreed and we get stuck with Roo who appears to have forgotten he played 300+ games for the club.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Ok, I’ve settled a bit now.

The good: we’re starting to see signs of life with some of our most important players - Soligo and Rankine lifted when we needed. Cook, Berry and Milera obviously all very good

The bad: can anyone tell me what our game plan is? Basically once we’re within 100 metres of goal we just bomb it long inside 50. There is absolutely zero method forward of wing

Ugly: it’s obvious

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Given he's been out of the game for about 5 secs, I'm willing to give him some leeway. It's not the same as guys that can't hide their bias when they've been commentating for 10 years.

 

[ABAB]

Midget syndrome.

 

[Velvet George]

That was shit. Celebrate that and you celebrate being shit.

We are so far off being a contender it ain’t funny

 

[MrBarry]

Mileras ability to get out of tackles is insane - that last goal is just as much his.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Apparently Channel 7 went to an advert after Milera’s goal and when they came back don’t explain what happened?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

When Port supporters seeing Cook have clear path to goal with 30 seconds to go
