JLT2 - Game Day Thread

[Golumless]

Port are definitely a contender

Mid depth , Howard coming on nicely and a bit more finishing skill which was main weakness

Right now. No they aren't a contender, they are just a mid table team that have tried to buy their way into being a contender.

We don't know if they are until mid to late season, to say so earlier is just getting sucked in by a side on paper (which is worth sweet **** all.)

Mods don't delete any posts out of this thread. Everyone else, make sure you bookmark it. Might come in major handy, a thread about a preseason game on the crows board where the pages after the game finishes contain nearly 50% port posters gloating. Its got delicious karma written all over it.

 

[Bicks]

Yep , missed smiths transition badly . Need to play dougy or Milera there round 1

Lacked speed all over , I would parachute Milera in

We really need to draft an athletic KPD this year....

 

[Redleg Crow]

After this I think -

The locks:
Talia, Laird, Doedee, Brown, Kelly
Sauce, Sloane, Mrouch, Gibbs, RAt, Douglas, Seed
Lynch, Betts, Guv

Given past history, Looking likely even though they were shit:
JJ, Hartigan

Gotta be a chance:
CEY, Murphy, Fogarty

That's 20 - 6 backs, 8 Mids+Ruc, 6 Fwds

Wait on tomorrow:
Milera, Gallucci, Polholke

Injury permitting:
Tex, Brouch.

Leaving from today:
Mackay, Hampton, Gibson, Keath

 

[mistylake]

your guys are premiers in march with AFL X

That was February you moron. Can’t even troll accurately.

 

[Golumless]

Why not ??? ....a sound midfield....great ruckman....hard running defenders and Dixon and Watts up forward ???
Credit where it's due ....this year shapes up as the biggest chance yet of a Port / Adelaide GF

Right now, the exposed form Port has is they stagnated as a mid table side under Hinkley, and one who didn't fire a shot against top 8 sides.

To jerk them off now, and call them a contender because they recruited some players is just setting yourself up to look foolish (and there were plenty of signs, especially in the first half that indicate Port aren't an improved side). Let Port prove they are a contender first.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Edit - Cameron and Smith

We lacked speed . Our forward line is a real concern and pressure forward of centre is key

Hampton, Knight & Gallucci playing should apply plenty of pressure. Problem is 2 are not ready yet.

When did people fall through the looking glass and actually start to care about this match?

From page one- haha

That’s a massive comeback. You won a JLT game. Only a complete moron would come here puffing their chest out after that. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Did you name your sponsor today, or was it just the “please stop being racist centre for racists” that was announced?

I love your board name. You misspelt “Creed” didn’t you and no one over on your board had the heart to tell you.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hartigan is in your best 22 .. so what does that say about your best 22 ?

Yet he has stitched you guys up in the showdowns over the past couple of years, including the awesome Robbie Gray.... but yeah, get excited about the JLT to make your informed opinions lol.

Gloating after a JLT game. That’s got to be a new level of stupidity.

It was supposed to be “the inbred”

 

[mistylake]

and the cows haven't won a grand final for 140+ days

Ha ha. Ding bat. Port haven’t won a GF in nearly 3800 days.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Neither have you.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Thought Douglas played well across HB in the first half... but gather he didn't okay back much in the second half?

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Out of all the players of you to think are good and bad, I’m surprised you put Gibson in the good basket.

He’s mediocre, nothing player that wins the hard ball and hacks it forward. A depth player in a top 4 quality side, nothing more and he showed exactly that today.

All the good things that Gibson did today were undone within an instant.

 

[hey shorty]

Why would we switch off against Port?

Regardless of opponent, we switched off.

Credit to Port, they played very well and exposed a tall defence and a non-existent forwardline. We have issues to solve there's no doubt, but to hang our hat on today is silly

 

[GreyCrow]

Had to have a laugh at some of the pear supporters at the game celebrating like it was a regular seaaon game...

Also, how good is the fog?!? Going to be a gun

The flog on the Alan Scott wing laughing and asking about our GF loss. Not only did he not squeak a peep before half time but mate its a pre-season game. The GF result means nothing now. It only hurts if there is no return to the GF

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Can we ‘certified legendary thread’ this one so it is preserved in time when Port fans came on here to gloat after a JLT game

 

[GreyCrow]

Does show Port are a genuine top 4 team though don't you think?

If Port dont make top 4 or even the GF their season is a failure

 

[The breed]

Well the commentators are already talking up Port based off this game, could be a bit delfating if they lose to Freo in round one without their best mid

Just imagine if you to the Bombers though

 

[azza77]

All the good things that Gibson did today were undone within an instant.

Should be used as a big body tagger and that’s about it.

You’d hope given his fitness levels he can maybe get on his bike when win the ball back, and work his opponent over offensively. Should be looking to either run into space and be a link in the chain, and hopefully execute a simple kick to a forward running out the back, or at lest run hard enough to really open up the ground and create space for our mids to run into the corridor.

It’s a pretty simple game plan, but that’s really the only areas I can see him being effective in for us.

Seedsman and Atkins are going to need to put in good seasons, as I don’t think Gibson and Mackay are going to provide us much on the outside.

 

[hey shorty]

New puffers in here gloating. Some things never change
