JLT 2017 - Wk 2 - St Kilda v Port Adelaide, Etihad, 7.40pm, Foxfooty

[PerfectFooty]

St Kilda is just playing on and dancing through, theres no pressure at all from Port. Port are essentially which's hats right now

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Port's kicking is woeful right now

 

[La Dispute]

Lot of average players in that Port Adelaide lineup.

 

[JayJ20]

Port probably have the laziest group of players in the league. For all the talk of "we're taking JLT games seriously", they look like the same old lazy "I'm too talented to be bothered playing".

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Lobbe/Ryder balance seems to have improved, but that's about it for Port so far.

 

[jdz101]

Port will hit a target eventually..........

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Turnover city this one.

 

[Golden_6]

Port look absoslutely shocking.

 

[PerfectFooty]

St Kilda should be further ahead, but it seems Port's turn over disease is rubbing off for the moment

 

[La Dispute]

Saints hands are very sharp. Some really nice work by Dunstan.

 

[Chism]

Port will win their fair share ( 50%+ ) of games in S.A saving them but god help them away from home.

Looking really slow and besides Robbie Gray who are they missing?

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Finally. Saints deserve to be about 5 goals up.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

So those foot skills port have been working on all pre season...

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Shot of coach looking nervous and the seasons still a month away.

 

[PerfectFooty]

You think after last season there would be a big focus on footskills for Port. Contested ball is awful

 

[Pykie]

Hombsch looks AA level though, he looks massive now, quality player.

Impey is quality as well.

That's all for Port at the moment.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Im not sure if St Kilda are fast or port are slow

Am liking Carlisle and Brown down back though

 

[Murraj1966]

Anyone know a good engraver?

In all seriousness though good to see the boys getting a good hit out and get the cobwebs out. Hope they get some confidence from a few wins in the JLT and take it to the season proper

 

[PerfectFooty]

It's only preseason, but this is one of the worst preseason outings i've ever seen. Port just look like they got nothing going for them, the effort and body language just gives off as if they've thrown in the towel already

 

[JayJ20]

Ryder the only one looking decent for Port. Really bad by foot. No pressure at all. Very bruise free. Yeah it's a preseason game, but their structure and gameplan looks like a mess

Pretty impressed with St Kilda. Marking looking great. Quick ball movement. A bit rusty though.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Am liking Carlisle and Brown down back though

Carlisle will have a ripper year, your energy and pressure around the ball will give him constant high ball opportunity.

 

[Giant Pete]

Saints to win the flag. Port to win the spoon.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Serious amount of rust out there!

Can see that we're definitely trying to take more chances through the corridor and to move it on quickly at all times, but a few times we didn't really seem to look where we were kicking it when going into the forward line.

Could have been 8 goals up if we'd kicked better for goal and forward.

Our marking a real feature though. Clunks from Bruce, Paddy, Carlisle, Brown, Riewoldt and even Billings.

Port trying to run the ball in waves.

 

[PerfectFooty]

That loose ball had to be killed, not acceptable

 

[jdz101]

Port need to be taken to the knackery tonight....dont look like they can be bothered.
