Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 16 - Bombers v Port Sat July 1st 7:25pm AEST (MCG)

What a finish. If that kick is 1 meter shorter, different game result

You’re quite brilliant Rod.

 

[BEEG]

Very good team and winning at the G massive chance now.

 

[Jimmy95]

Kenny will move some magnets here and get the boys home. This isn’t over yet.

Very prophetic words!

 

[Elixuh]

Very prophetic words!

Never doubt Kenny. He is the best coach in the league by a long margin.

 

[longdonkey]

Problem with Narkle is that he has too much talent at secondary level and not enough work ethic for AFL level. It’s a shame because he has some real upside

Yeah I don't see him playing at the end of the year. Rioli and Fantasia if he doesn't fall apart take his spot.

Never doubt Kenny. He is the best coach in the league by a long margin.

Perhaps not appropriate to the conversation, but he was arguably one of the best players for Geelong in the 1992 Grand Final. Kept working hard and popping up. I reckon thatattitude would come out in his coaching a bit.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

2013? They haven’t won a final since 2004.

But everyone was talking about them in 2013.

 

[Red Bull]

You’ve gotta take your hat off to Ken.
He’s coaching unbelievably and you can see the players are totally committed to him, as should be the club now …

 

[ozaddy]

Us apparently lol. Beat port. Got as close as anyone to Collingwood twice. We just need to make the 8 and hope for luck.

I am sure it will be close game. Ports form early in season wasn't great, one good qtr against brisbane, loss to Adelaide. Every week we won after was one step closer to playing better footy. Port have finally been the team to win after the bye. Looked a bit rusty tonight.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Well that's the "killer bye" thing hopefully put to bed forever

 

[JimmyBC]

well done port. great game. great finish. thought the lad was overreaching trying to kick that.

Houston can kick 50m off one step it was the balls to own the moment & nail it though that was brilliant.

 

[sobrave]

Well that's the "killer bye" thing hopefully put to bed forever

That's the worst we've played for quite a while. Got the win with an amazing kick, but we had a fair few players that were a long way off it.

 

[mick500]

Looking at the team stats Essendon lead narrowly in most of the key stats, only real difference was the innacuracy. No one to blame but themselves. Who would've thought that'd be the case after port started with 2.7 in the 1st.

 

[Rod Stroker]

You’re quite brilliant Rod.

Cheers. I'm here all week.

 

[Jimmy95]

I’d give Brisbane more of a chance than Port to be honest. Regardless of ladder positions as well.

It will all depend on the draw in the finals series. I would say there is also a chance of a Port vs Melbourne Grand Final and I could see Melbourne winning that given the MCG factor. It just all depends on matchups.

Port facing Collingwood anywhere will be a dangerous prospect for them in finals. I can’t see Collingwood losing to them prior to a Grand Final.

Salt works reached full production tonight.

 

[Black Saab]

You are so not making the 8 but in regards to the rest, everyone to their own

Yeah...I know

But if Lynch comes back in the last round we could win it all from 15th!!

 

[Elixuh]

I always get a good nights sleep when I’ve seen Kenny smiling and celebrating with the boys in the bench. Warms my heart.

 

[Back One Out]

He completely ran off his line.

 

[Red Bull]

I always get a good nights sleep when I’ve seen Kenny smiling and celebrating with the boys in the bench. Warms my heart.

No doubt the players love having Ken in the trenches with them.
You can see them lifting for him every time it’s needed.
Port are playing with a 19th man on the ground every game this season

 

[HighBudget]

What more does Kenny need to do to satisfy the Port nuffy supporter base. He is killing it. 12 in a row!!!

Do you get a premiership for that?

 

[BACCS]

Port vs Collingwood in round 19 shaping up to be the decider for top spot, should be a cracking game!

 

[citizen-erased]

Essendon needed someone on 2 metre peters shoulders!

Where's Rampe when you need a post climbed

 

[BACCS]

Do you get a premiership for that?

Exactly, no need to renew until you absolutely have to. This isn’t the EPL, the best H&A team doesn’t always win the flag. Your clubs biggest test is the prelim final hump.

 

[BloodRet]

One of the best endings I’ve seen, well done port. I actually can’t think of a sicker after the siren goal in all my years of watching. Vic bias umps did everything they could and Essendon fans still had the audacity to boo at the end lol
