Review Round 10, 2026 vs Gold Coast in Darwin

[Scholz Supremacy]

The first half was okay then maybe about 10 minutes in the last quarter when we nearly got back within striking distance.

It was nice to see Ewan Mackinlay continue his impressive form with another goal of the year contender, and also Joe Berry continuing his development and gaining more and more confidence.

Tommy A did okay on debut too.

Richards fluking difficult snaps but being unable to kick simple set shots kinda pisses me off to be honest

 

[Chrizzt]

Well apart from 15 mins we went for to toe. But by gosh that was an atrocious 15 minutes.

Viz. not quite delist worthy but I’d rather not see him at AFL level again this year. Can’t mark, not great in the ruck, offers nothing at ground level. Maybe a glimmer of hope we can develop his marking ability, but 90% looking a bust right now.

JHF had possibly the biggest disparity between effort and output I’ve ever seen. Did try but just flat out sucked tonight.

Not sure I see how Lorenz makes a career out of being a purely outside midfielder who doesn’t find a lot of footy, is slow, and is maybe the worst kick I’ve ever seen.

Put a line through Watkins. Unless he’s playing some super niche role, I can’t see anything he can contribute at AFL level.

Great little bit of development from Berry. Stayed involved all night. Happy for Richards to have an impact on the scoreboard. Couple of great little moments from McKinlay early too. Anasta stayed involved with no real damage but a fine debut.

Let me introduce you to my friend Miss Georgiades.

 

[Troopsy]

Just goal kicking practice. Nothing else. Our inaccuracy shits me so much.

 

[PAFC66]

Smashed. Kicked some junk goals at the end that meant nothing. Butters kept us somewhat competitive again. Carlton will win next week. Might as well lose them all at this rate. Cash in.

 

[Skindy]

Young, inexperienced team playing a top 6 side in conditions that don't suit our small fleet of runners. Was always a chance to blow out.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

So I have a question.

If a man on the mark is theoretically hit by a shell from a howitzer, would it be 50m against the giblets?

Does he play for Port?

 

[Troopsy]

Yeah they dominated really. Junk goals at the end made it look better.

Wouldn’t say it was junk. We fought back ok and gave ourselves a small sniff. Just couldn’t finish it off.

 

[It Just Is]

Another game lost from inaccuracy and a losing centre clearances in a bunch.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Meh.

done that dermal abrasion man makeup surgery?

the tank is on, dougie can thank george and richards for shanking set shots

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

I just want the picks, and a strong foundation for a rebuild. It takes time to move away from what Kenny has instilled.

Things will get more exciting when Rozee and SPP are back in the mix.

 

[Ant Bear]

JHF did not even sweat tonight. He either doesn't work hard enough or he's Prince Andrew...

He's not a pedo

 

[Ford Fairlane]

First things first, Burgoyne 28 disposals = $6,500

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

JHF out of the goal square probably our most over rated 'play'. He can't outmark proper KPD sized defenders, he's better off just trying to force the ball to ground and winning it there.

I think he's at the point of his career where it needs inspection and review.



We know what his potentially is which what makes his insipid performances so disappointing

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Visentini out indefinitely. Not up to it. JHF needs to play more midfield time. Georgiades needs to see a sports psychologist. His accuracy in front of goal is a far cry compared to when he first started out. Drew needs to go. Bombs the ball all the time.

 

[PAFC66]

First things first, Burgoyne 28 disposals.

A lot of ball in defense but he's looking good. Just needs consistency

 

[Duck Farmer]

Dante with 1 HB and 5 HOs for the game.

 

[Chad WinGOAT]

Another game where we had a really poor patch and was blown away. The final score line flattered us.

Another game where our set shots from simple kicks directly in front have been exceptionally poor. I’d love to know what our expected score for tonight was.

Gold Coast clearly had the bigger seasoned mature bodies that we didn’t have. Our depth without Rozee, Jones, Bergman, Lukosius and SPP is really concerning. But it makes me hopeful how we can perform with all of those players back in the side.

On to Carlton next week. Would be disappointed if we didn’t win that one.

 

[backtozero]

Same amount of scoring shots. Poor kicking for goal is really ****ing us.

but honestly, who cares? Transition year, huge gulf of talent between the two teams.
I like watching us play, we have heaps of fight. The wins will come eventually, but finishing lower helps us this year.

I'll never think of this game ever again

 

[Shane_Mag]

Not a great performance but at least showed something in the last 10 mins. But was too late.
