Port 10:0 (60) def Geelong 1:53 (59).

We win by losing, right?

 

[Lefti93]

Sorry, I just can't see how we win this.

i thought the same in 2019, it wouldn't surprise me at all tbh if we did.

Season is done. Play the kids.

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

I’d actually like to see gray phased out from now to the end of the season. He’s so far gone and won’t even be pushed because he’s our best ever but playing him as borderline detrimental to our team now. Just play Williams for the rest of the year and if he’s not up to it, get a small forward with our first pick in the draft.

What’s Geelong’s weakness? Arrogance?

Seriously no chance here whatsoever. It’s the cats by whatever they want. Want a close game - sure. Want to win by 6 goals - no worries. Want to humiliate port at home - too easy.

We lacked speed, hardness and forward pressure. If Todd is out, I would bring in Frederick and play him as a small forward.

Whoever was on Pickett (was a mix of Burton, Bonner and Jonas but not sure who it was actually supposed to be) needs to have a spell - that half arsed effort was pathetic. I would bring in McKenzie.

Duursma can be sub.

Try something different. Get Burton, SPP, Mead and Bergmann in the centre. Send Jonas to Blicavs and just negate him all day. Chuck Boak to half back in a shut down role.

we have beaten the cats the last few times at home but they are a bit different team this time. Geelong were suspect to quick ball movement from the stoppage but i think they will come with a clinical approach to not let that happen again. Geelong will win this with their structure and application for 100 percent of the time, i dont expect a big win by them unless port decide that they dont want to fight for the contested stuff.

After watching them beat Carlton it won't surprise me if they win it this year.

 

[Lefti93]

see what that schofield lad can do at afl level, what's the point of having him on the list otherwise.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Call me crazy but maybe we get a ruck in this week. Hayes in.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Out:Farrell isn't on the wing then he doesn't play
In Jones, he can play the HFF role better.

Out: Mead didn't offer enough
In Duurs so long as he is only covering the hbf and wing position. Do not want him playing the thankless Ebert HFF position.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Sorry, I just can't see how we win this.

Don't apologise. It's not your fault

 

[glitch01]

No need to be apologetic...as greater minds than ours have said "it's a tough competition and someone has to lose."

 

[Willsy10]

We lose this one and the season will be officially over and then once the pressure of trying to make finals is released we win the last 4 games, finish 9th and narrowly miss finals. Reminiscent of 2015. The last month will be a nice little send off for Hinkley and his happy clappers but the rest of us will move on to next year and a new era of this football club.

Changes? It doesn't matter who plays. Not sure why we still get carried away with which fringe players we shuffle in and out of the side. We need an entire cultural shift in dealing with expectation and pressure and that starts with a new man as coach.

If only...

It'll be seen as evidence that Hinkley has everyone back on the right track and will be used to justify giving him a contract extension.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Geelong are playing the long game this year. They've managed Selwood,Dangerfield and probably others too.

All they need is the 4pts with minimal effort and no injuries. Talk of a late revival yesterday is bollocks. The Dee's put the cue in the rack.

It's why we could've won but our clangers and dysfunctional fwd entries gave us the loss we deserved. Dunno what Bass said in his presser

coz i'm too bummed out to listen anymore. Our record v top 8 teams over the years kinda wears you down. Ignore the Magpies form and pick

players that are part of our future. Bonner wasn't ready yesterday, Jase should've run out with the team and no more Mots thanks.

Lock Fantasia in the gym and debut Lord. Sinn will be like an added pick next year.

 

[Adz2332]

Correct.
It's mine.

Because I'm Spartacus

 

[Chachi]

Nuh it’ll be Teakle. Listed as assess, so if fit comes straight in.

Sam, you won the b&f last year and did everything we asked of you. But **** you campaigner you'll never get another game!

You were so shit that you averaged some of the highest hitouts per game ever for a young ruckman but **** YOU! we're gonna play this wafl guy we got 5 minutes ago instead.

If I was Sam Hayes I'd throw Hinkley out of a window

Hinkley has done plenty wrong but he's right about Hayes. Needs to have more impact around the ground. Winning the ruck mean f**k all at AFL level, it's the rucks that impact around the ground that really matter.
