Review Round 10, 2026 vs Gold Coast in Darwin

[PJ Power]

JHF with 17. Carn.

 

[PowerBaz]

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

Its been a flaw of this club for years and it’s infuriating. Do they actually acknowledge it’s a bloody problem?

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

When Bergman comes back, he simply takes over Drew's role as the defensive mid.

 

[theouthouse]

JHF with 17. Carn.

Butters with 30+ again. And again. And again.

 

[x_les_x]

Joe Berry
19 touches 74%
10 contested possessions
2 goals
8 score involvements
530 metres gained
3 clearances
10 inside 50s

Slow burn but building very very nicely

I knew he was gonna miss to the right goal post.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

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

No point just doing goal kicking practice, need to bring in a specialist Perkins or Schulz

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

There's a lot to unpack in that performance

not sure what JHFs career highs will have reached be when it whimpers out

Georgiades, Again, game losing disappointment. you cant carry that.

Carr lost a few months off his life tonight

 

[Adam_23]

Honestly not the worst effort. Clearly outclassed but I thought we’d go on and lose by 70 when they kicked the first couple of the 3rd. Good to at least fight back.
Sav worked his way into it first game back and Berry looking better every game now is great to see.
Would be disappointed though if we don’t win our next 2.

 

[Coobk001]

umpires 42 and 35 both just not allowing anything for Port and stopping momentum. Was happening the first half and now after ports run they stepped in. Didnt even want to pay a ruck infringement free to Sweet and thankfully he got a high free from ump 22 Nathan... ffs

Yeah, it was the umpires.

 

[StueyDaDew]

We were clearly under manned tonight.

That would have been 10 goal+ loss under you know who.

 

[all seeing eye]

Hung in there, some promising signs from the kids, but the quality gap in the midfield was diff, not helped by crap goal kicking again. Terrible game by JHF tried to launch at ball but timing was out and generally well held by his defender. Life without Butters will be bleak.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Has Shaun burgoyne done that dermal abrasion man makeup surgery?

I think he has had brain dermabrasion its so smooth.

 

[Coobk001]

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.

Plus he's another member of the untrustable shots at goal crew.

 

[RossFC]

Poor middle of the game and poor goal kicking cost us. Weird game where we could have lost by 50, but some decent goal kicking also could have made it very close.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We go into that game with an underdone Anastasopoulos and Lorenz, Mackinlay with one pre-season under his belt, tall skinny 2nd year Whitlock, Moraes with a few games under his belt, Watkins who is just ok, wound up with Visentini in defence, underdone Ratugolea, lost Jones early.

Nobody expected us to win this game and after that horror 15 minutes in the second quarter, it was looking like it was going to be a proper shellacking. But we fought it out and if not for some wayward set shot goalkicking could have made it really interesting at the end.

We all know where we are at this year so it is good to see them tough games out and stick to the structures and gameplan.

Can we offer Butters even more money?

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

These misses really did hurt. JHF missing an easy shot when all he had to do was run in for an open goal or handpass it to Whitlock. Then Richards missing twice and another went OOF. Then the middle got smashed went Visentini went to the ruck and GC soon gained the momentum. Georgiades as usual cannot be relied upon to kick goals. He is that far ahead in the key forward department aside from his goal kicking. Should easily be leading the coleman.

 

[PAFC66]

Couple games in a row where we've won the free kick count. Wild.

 

[_VXV]

So many times tonight felt like should had a head count on the suns we so outnumbered. Outsized. Not sure other than Butters if we have any match winners.

He's not worth more than 2 mill. I'd rather a bunch of talented young kids come in. His mind is made up anyway.

 

[Willsy10]

You are being deliberately ******ed lol. If you read what people say as just "we are playing amazing" then I question your ability to comprehend.

Everyone seems very content. I’m not happy with how we are playing.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I thought Richards was awful at some point in the last quarter, finishes up with 3 goals and should have kicked 5.

 

[Powerade 08]

Nothing to kick to.

JHF tried to give a contest in a couple 3v1s, more than we got from Georgi, Whitlock and Vis at least

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

It really was the one man show tonight with a bunch of supporting roles.

I agree with that, but theres still some solid questions to be asked of some senior players

is there any way we can keep Butters? do we have to trade him? we simply cannot lose him. period. let him live in Melbourne and fly to the games whatever it takes we cant lose him

and I have one last thing to say. ..$6,500 you little ripper Burgoyne!
