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

[MrBarry]

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

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

The door is to your left, see yourself out - if you can't enjoy that - don't bother being a supporter.

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.

I said to my wife it’s a toss up who I’d rather hear from least, Hinkley or Kane Cornes. At least Cornes can make some insightful comments at times, Ken just mumbles and bumbles like he always has

If you can’t celebrate beating Port then I’m not sure why you bother.

 

[ABAB]

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

Attack and let the talented players do their thing, much better than that shit show 1st half.

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

They wouldn't have known who he was. Now they do.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

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

They showed the replay on Kayo. I think it was Shaun Burgoyne that said you see a lot worse not paid (to say the least). It was a push in the side with a feather!

Basically the only guy who thought that Soligo’s goal should have been turned over is the guy in the arc. What happened to umpires call in the event of uncertainty?

 

[Scorpus]

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.

The umpire was in the perfect position to call the Soligo goal and it was overturned based on two inconclusive camera angles

 

[dylan123]

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

To save the neutrals from whatever that first half of 'football' they showed us poor suffers.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Anyone think our strategy of “kick to the wing and bomb it on the head of their best backman” will hold up??

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I didn't like Nicks getting all up in Rachele's grill after the game. It was creepy and unsettling.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Cook, Showdown hero.

Anyone who’s spent any time around the game also knows certain angles can be optical illusions. My ****ing jaw hit the floor when that idiot upstairs overturned that. He should never be allowed near a game of football ever again.

 

[MrBarry]

On the Rachele push, the ball was about 2 metres above the head of the port defender as well - he was nowhere near it, makes it so much worse.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Can someone at the club tell Thilthorpe that he is the biggest mother****er out there so start playing like it?

 

[Velvet George]

1 month ago, would you have supported beating Port by 1 point in the last 10 secs after being crap all game and then giving up a 20 point lead? Be honest. What does that win do for our chances of being decent?

 

[Peter Doherty]

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

Do what you want.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Cook, Showdown hero.

Elite stand up in the tackle and handball by Milera at 0:05. McLeod-esque.

 

[Huntercrow]

Yep. 3 goals taken off us

The Boss was there tonight. The crowd let him know about it to. Perhaps Monday morning he........Nah won't happen.

Dunno mate, football is about moments and moments like that come around very rarely. Go touch some grass and try enjoy yourself.

Will go unoticed but Mileras ability to stand up in a tackle is probably the best i've seen at our club.

 

[Peter Doherty]

You feel uncomfortable with two attractive men getting it on?

 

[Slippery Pete]

On the Rachele push, the ball was about 2 metres above the head of the port defender as well - he was nowhere near it, makes it so much worse.

Barely touched him. These pricks have no feel for the game.

 

[CrowBloke]

Good:
Catching up with best bud tomorrow .... Port fan (yeah,) ..... not going to say one word .... just let things simmer

Get a small piece of shirt-pocket-sized white cardboard.

Write this on it and show it to him every now and then:
"ONE POINT, SUCK SHIT".

 

[MrBarry]

It's hard to put into words how bad a decision this was, the club has to go full throttle at the league.

Barely a push. Happens every match.
