Is Portia still hungover from the Dees big win?

Is Portia still hungover from the Dees big win?

No, Rick felt insecure he had lost his role so has claimed it back.... Back to Thursday nights for Portia!

 

[Us against the rest]

How can we fix our accuracy in front of goal, it's great having the best defense but if we don't make the most of our forward entries it could cost us in a final. Robbie can't kick 5 every week.

 

[powerpowerpower]

Is Jackos and Westys careers at a cross roads?

I honestly can't see Jacko back into that defence. It's working brilliantly without him, the forward line doesn't suit him, and his ruck work isn't AFL standard. Where do you play him? Same with Westy, no position for him anymore and he doesn't offer enough consistently. Thoughts?

 

[FishingRick04]

Jacko is the new Mathew Robran

 

[bomberclifford]

Here's a question that stems from Us Against The Rest's question above:

Is our inaccuracy a unique problem or is it a league wide phenomenon that is a result of the highly defensive game plans being played by most teams? (ie High energy requirement = high fatigue when having shots = decreased accuracy)

 

[powerpowerpower]

Is Eddy a chance to play. He has kicked 31 this year already, leading the Farmer medal by 5 yet he can't seem to crack into the team. At 190+cm he is big enough as a second tall option.

What am I missing?

 

[GremioPower]

How can we fix our accuracy in front of goal, it's great having the best defense but if we don't make the most of our forward entries it could cost us in a final. Robbie can't kick 5 every week.

There is basically a four-way tie for second place on "goals scored" between Devils (196), Giants (196), us (195), and Cats (193). Crows are first.

Now, 4 of those 5 are on the top-7 of "goal accuracy". Port is 14th.

I can only think that solely the Crows shoot as much we do. If we had an above average accuracy, the 2017 Port would be one for the History books.

where do the hosts stand on australian hip hop?

where do the hosts stand on australian hip hop?

Huh

Why do I hate Chris Scott so much?

 

[Dylan8]

why did donald trump unfollow damien martyn on twitter? is he in clayton oliver's corner?

 

[Muunky Tuunk Man]

If you only had one choice left in life and had to choose, would you prefer the Scott brothers in their playing careers or in their coaching careers?

 

[GremioPower]

No qestions tonight. Come on

Sorry. I forgot the question. We are second in points scored, fourth in goals scored, 1st in points allowed, but 14th in goals accuracy. In "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", Quatermain tells Sawyer that he shoots like an American; i.e., keep shooting in the hope that one will eventually hit the target. Having said that, I ask:

- Do we "shoot like Americans"?

- How are we able to shoot so much?

- Are we forcing our shots, missing easy goals, or a mix of both?

Thanks.

My questions usually get ignored so lately I'm sulking

Notice the one thing about the stats macca read out about teams with two or more tall key forwards hitting the scoreboard, they are all teams that have beaten us this year. We play undersized key defenders which is ok against clubs that don't have taller forward options, but we have struggled against those that do.
People forget clurey was the one caught out early in the year getting goals kicked on him, the last few weeks is been hombsch, it's because we are undersized and there will always be a undersized key defender exposed by the better teams. We have to address this if we are to go anywhere in September, either Jacko goes back, our Howard is that man that has to go back and help out, knowing the way we operate im sure nothing will be done about it and it will cost is in September.

I'm pretty sure Josh Gibson for the successful Hawks period was their key defender during that period. He too at times occasionally was exposed too. As the side gets better wit hthe defensive structure as a team the less these boys will get exposed!

Patience is a virtue, as the season goes on they will become more resilient. Saying that I'd love Logan Austin in the side because he's cool.

a bit late for further questions:

but will buckley be an assistant at Port next year? rumours are circulating here in the west

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

haha we will love the wider spaces of Subiaco oval. Really? Prefer the wider oval of Subiaco?? Really

We are 2-4 at Subi under Ken
Subi fence to fence 191m x 132m boundary to boundary 175m x 120m See Dimensions here

Adelaide Oval fence to fence 183m x 134m boundary to boundary 167m x 124m See Dimensions here

We love the wider open spaces of MCG - we are 5-4 at the MCG under Ken and 1-2 of that is during finals.

100% agree on Jacko

He's a great club man but I can't see where he slots in other than the man to plug a gap.
