Autopsy Autopsy vs Port Adelaide

[ChopChopDigDig]

Ports mids tackle counts. Our best was Georgy with 6

Genuinely was feeling like I couldn’t bare to watch this today. Turned it on like the sucker I am expecting nothing.

Feel gutted

One final comment (I probably lie), Dawson and Comben may have been beaten in the air, but they fought for everything on the ground, which is much more than what Corr and Logue did last week.

 

[Only Forwards]

Missed calls like that are Exhibit A on why we don’t need 4 of them.

What value is the 4th umpire contributing other than diluting the quality and making the game even more inconsistent.

If we went back to 3 that is 9 of the shit campaigners that are not required.

The 4 of them is 5 of them because of the one in the ear.

If you cut it to 3 on the ground we’d lose nothing in umpiring quality and gain 9 umpires.

Meaning you could work the lessor performing ones through the twos.

So much shit in the ‘sport’ is contrived for no benefit to the sport itself.

 

[Gasometer]

Well I was closer than most of you weak legged lot…

 

[DocSholl]

Geez it's going to shit me when we don't turn up next week

 

[Jonnoo]

Missed the first 3 qtrs, how did Hardeman go, can he actually defend?

 

[DuckYeah]

Pass. Bit sketchy with ball in hand. But persist

 

[Coach Bombay]

If anyone says honourable loss to me I'm punching them in the teeth. I'm so sick of losing. We had probably half a dozen chances to square it up and take the lead. We let ourselves down everytime and it was one of our leaders every time.

For me Larkey has enough credits in the bank to let this one go as disappointing as his output was but LDU & Simpkin were putrid today.

I don't think I've detested a North player as much as I do Caleb Daniel

. If he's best 22 going forward i will legitimately stop watching.

It seems like the effort was generally good today which tells me there's been a few weeks that a bunch have turned up without it which is inexcusable.

I have a question

And this is not about Toby Pink. Please consider Corr or Logue or even Wil Dawson as an alternative if you desire.

What does Kal Dawson give us?
Seriously.

He's not an experienced KPD. Played loose at Willy.
He's older than Toby Pink so it's not as if we are playing the kids.
He's not as strong as any of them, except maybe Wawson.
And he has no cohesion whatsoever with Comben.

Someone explain to me what I'm missing with Kallan Dawson's selection after that performance tonight.

Thanks

I don't mind him but he should be second or third tall. As he can rebound a bit.
Comben is not the defensive partner for him.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Wasn't able to watch live, worth watching a replay?

Start at quarter time, is my advice.

 

[krakouers]

Start at quarter time, is my advice.

Ah, so you have been our mids coach then?

 

[Roostorm]

Listened on radio….couldn’t bring myself to watch after last week..
Could’ve got that one …or been close to….but gee wiz there’s a group of seniors who make deplorable decisions that end up costing us at crucial moments….
Like last week I’ll look to see at the selection table coming up if we a dead serious about improving or chasing rainbows…
also surely nxt yr is when a certain player returns to melb….

He actually showed more composure than the others, and seems to actually play to coaching directions.

 

[rickety]

Simpkin, Daniel, McDonald and Larkey really really let us down

And the bathwater kid

Georgiacokinakis kicked 2 goals. Probably would have a bag if he played on Corr or Logue.

He did some okay things, hasn’t played many AFL games for a while. At least he gives 100%.

He ****ed a kick up which made me wanna spew but the other two that were dropped are no better.

Pink probably should come in next week to play on Peter Wright because he will give Cobden a bath.

 

[koshari]

Gee our set shot kicking for goal was terrible, as were some of our kicks out of defence. Still the fight after getting 30 points down was better.

I’m not sure Port fans understand the rules.

Very low socio-economic group. Personal hygene issues generally exceed their intelligence.

There are no honourable losses. The time to perform is now, and break this loser's mentality.

It's the SENIOR players who are letting us down.

I honestly don't know what McDonald gives us. At best, he tries to kill a contest so it's a ball up, or getting the ball out of bounds. He can't create from the backline, and all his kicks are junk anyway. If we want to progress, we need to enventually move him out of the automatic best 22 by the end of the season.

The idiotic 50m penalty he gave away pretty much sums up his entire career. Massive momentum killer when senior players let us down.

Simpkin has never been able to kick, and when he misses a target by 5m when all the forwards are open ahead of the play, it costs us a goal. Again, kills all the momentum.

That's our two most recent captains. No wonder we're going nowhere.

Daniel missed targets that cost us goals too. He can't defend, and is becoming a bit of a whipping boy for supporters.
LDU got caught too many times today. Zurharr did nothing for 2.5 quarters. Larkey had a shocker.

We'll probably get smashed by Essendon, as everyone is satisifed with an honourable loss. Time to drop some senior players.

 

[koshari]

Genuinely was feeling like I couldn’t bare to watch this today. Turned it on like the sucker I am expecting nothing.

Feel gutted

Iam just disappointed we bought the effort today but our lousy skills and decision making killed us again.

 

[Only Forwards]

Geez it's going to shit me when we don't turn up next week

We’re on a 6 day break with travel.

We did enough that people will pay no attention to us.

I’m not really expecting much tbh.

 

[Brian Fontana]

Whatever we did after quarter time to play that pack contested ball we need to do every week. We looked much better when we played that way and not let the game split open.

 

[archereleven]

Not me

Just on the tackle count, have a look at the discrepancy between the midfields..

It's almost a carbon copy of last week

Same offenders each week. Simpkin, McDonald, Zurhaar.

Too many broken tackles, too many players cant stick them.
