Review Gather Round, 2025 vs Hawthorn (and umps)

[Donuts_]

would be nice if they 'played for kenny' like that in a game that mattered

It's a huge problem.

Playing for the coach.

Not for playing for the club/jumper, for a flag, for the supporters, or even just being a professional each week like the salary ought to demand.

Nope. Their biggest motivation is responding onfield when their coach is criticised.

It perfectly encapsulates why Port haven't gone close to a flag in the last decade.

If you need a backs to wall arrangement to perform then you aren't going to win the games necessary to lift the cup.

Which makes the media fawning tonight all the more ridiculous and sickening.

 

[Us against the rest]

70 points up at half time
You can throw up all sorts of numbers but the bottom line is we beat them comfortably.
As stated by another poster they weren’t expecting us to line up with Rozee down back.
There was some different set ups and Hawthorn didn’t know how to respond fast enough.
We got the jump on them and it was all she wrote.

Carr finger prints all over it, his game plan.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

What a wonderful day that was, poor Abba will never forget his man Burton kicked North’s only goal

Northeast was blamed for that but he said he was caught out covering Trigger's man because he was goal chasing

 

[Lumpy432]

The genius Ken move of playing Rozee off half-back just like in his draft year under Josh Carr

Yes that's the only thing Hinkley influenced in this game, great take! Honestly when we lose you guys cry and blame hinkley, when we win you do brain tornados and somehow also blame hinkley

 

[Bump Bailey]

Forever in debt to a coach who has delivered 0 grand final appearances.

Great game tonight Conor but mindset wise, you’re a loser.

He’s been gifted a 13 year reign as a senior coach, he’s owed nothing.

Carr coached H1
Hinkley coached H2

 

[Us against the rest]

He got paid around 10 million and we owe him **** all.

Unbelievable day, one good thing about being an old Port supporter, at least we have some great memories.

 

[Grave Danger]

Yes, dweeb (Mitch Cleary), Willie showing the ball to Jiath was very much in the spirit of how this game was built up by youse hacks.

If he was white and played for Hawthorn it would have been a good thing.

What a stupid question that was

Classy response by Gunston

What a prick Mitchell is
Zero respect for the opposition

 

[Scodges]

Berg’s going down screwed with our backline and it showed. Hope the club gets into the AFL about the cheating umps.

 

[Macca19]

First half insatiable
Second half classic Pr0tz

Still, never expected that to happen. Thought if we were to win it would be a tough tight contest, not a walkover in the first half.

Drew was awesome. JHF was awesome. Rat played his best game for the club. Mead and Richards first halves were outstanding. Rozee very very good. Butters is just insanely good.

Loved Rioli's shenanigans. **** em.

He stayed up in the box until everyone went off the ground. Kent Hinkley owns him

 

[Powerade 08]

Drew was awesome.

Yes

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Also it’s really weird to hear so many victorians gushing over something South Australia has done well.

I don’t think over ever seen anything like it before tbh

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol how was it any different to the carry on the hawks have done after goals in recent years? Id say it was milder!

It'll be in Melbourne before we know it.

 

[Nelso]

Tom Morris nails it.

"Every year Port has 3 or 4 save Kenny games"

Hats off to the lads didnt see it coming and did have a 60+ point hawk belting pre game feeling.

Rozee at halfback works because hes not imminently under pressure when he has the ball; probably has 1-2 seconds more and therefore doesnt needa shit himself and hack the ball forward. Will probably be used as a flanker and not a backpocket defender like Sinn.

JHF was the leader in the last when they were coming. So much composure in slowing down and looking for targets rather than panic bombing or going backwards. Star

For all the free kick hysteria the double goal from rioli made it all worth it

And also **** yeah to tommy c for kicking a goal. Loved it

Almost all goals on the back of a freekick..

Umps gave them a massive leg up

Hinkley in his presser, stop throwing the stuff lol.

I think it was 7 Hawthorn goals which were umpire assisted. Cheating campaigners.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Again we had a chance to finish them off but drew missed a piss easy shot..

We constantly miss easy chances to win games.. 20 out straight in front..
