Review NMFC vs Port Power Post match analysis

[Thewlis Dish]

Haven't read any of this thread but if anyone is using injuries as an excuse I'll spew. We deserved to lose by 4-5 goals and all of the same horrible traits that have plagued us were very evident - awful set ups from kick outs, conceding end to end scores, missing tackles and just generally shit decision-making and execution under pressure.

How we got in front late I'll never know, and then bang, we tackle Gray around his hips instead of his arms and let a runner get out the back to do another Petrenko.

**** off.

 

[The Nostradamus]

If one of Dal or Wells played we win

Or even a full game from Ziebell and we win.

Port struggled to beat us with 3 of our best mids out, they are going nowhere

 

[Winter]

Contenders win those games.

Did you watch Essendon v Hawthorn last week?

Are Hawthorn contenders?

 

[Grogg]

Why did you go for a zone when you were trailing by a goal with 2 minutes left?

Not sure That's when you want to see an on field leader take control and start directing traffic. Not much can happen from the coaches box at that stage of a game tbh. Beaten by a better side on the night.

Hawhorn have won flags.

We've won dick.

Nah mate. Bombers are certainties for the flag. Any other club would be lucky to have Stanton and he'd be the shoo in choice at 17 other clubs.

Scott seems to be getting off lightly I thought his coaching to allow Port to have a loose down back was the reason we lost the game.

5 minutes in(after Broadbents 7th touch) I turned to my mate and said if we allow Port to have s loose all night we can't can't win.

This is also something I posted before the Bris game:
"But I tell you right now our midfield ain't capable of dominating the good sides which makes it vitally important to lock the ball in against them. A forward line of Waite, Petrie and Brown won't cut it against them in my opinion."

We need to make a decision what our best structure is quickly and to me Brown has to play so either Petrie or Waite miss out.

 

[berniemccarthy]

We lost today because we had 3 mids out.

We lost 2 weeks ago when we had the 3 mids because.. ?

Always an excuse down at Arden Street these days.

You are exhausting. The same thing said about 10 ways is still the same thing. We get it. It's just uninteresting.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

The loose man back is kicking us over and over to be honest. Their spare man racks it up and cuts off out putrid long bombs. Our spare man down the other end is nowhere to be seen and we often see our back flankers one out with KPP's. In my opinion it's a tactic that knee caps us most weeks. Man the ****er up

 

[IschenkoUBeauty]

OHHHHHHHHH BLINKY. OWWWW I WISH UNCIE HOIRDDDDYYYYYY WAS OUR COACH. BRAD IS A BAD MAN

Our forward line was the absolute least of our worries tonight.

If Brad was a superhero then the opposition loose back would be his kryptonite. We get carved by this tactic time and again.

It works for us when it's Hansen. No one else.

 

[B4Bear]

Our centre clearances outside the start of the last were diabolical.

They reported on SEN that Goldy has a broken/dislocated finger.

 

[muttley45]

Our so called tackle coach has a lot to answer to, i reckon we have actually gone backwards in this skill rather than improve, opposition usually seem to get a handball off even when we manage to stick a tackle, which in itself it is a rarity rather than the norm

 

[GarnerSmash]

Centre clearances 21-11 killed us, allowing them quick inside 50's. ****ing poor effort

 

[Chron]

They reported on SEN that Goldy has a broken/dislocated finger.

He went off in the first clutching his fingers and waved immediately to the bench if true then thats a massive effort

 

[Devington]

Yep.

It's embarrassing to read the excuses in this thread of why we lost (as if Port were full strength and playing at home)

We weren't good enough. The end : /

With respect, mentioning injuries and outs isn't necessarily reaching for excuses. They are legitimate issues which contributed to us losing a very winnable game. Some of our structures contributed. Some of our skill executions and decision making contributed. Some of our players having ****ing howlers contributed. Port being a good team and playing well also contributed.

I wish i was dead.

Whats the incredible hulk up to these days? Owns a boxing gym iirc. Would know tackling too. Rene....come on down!!

 

[Hojuman]

Everybody shuttup!! Must Cop it on the chin, face the music and move on. A loss is a loss. No second prize. Can only make amends next week.

IUB.....for someone pissed.....you make alot of sense.
Could see hurt on the boys faces. For themselves and for us.

Take it on the chin.....move on and hope like hell we never see those umpires again.

 

[Dirty_11]

We didn't take a contested mark the whole night.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

They reported on SEN that Goldy has a broken/dislocated finger.

Which obviously meant we had to leave a Port player by himself behind the bounce EVERY time.

 

[Dirty_11]

How we didn't have someone manning Broadbent on their fifty a kick behind the play is poor on field direction.

 

[Only Forwards]

We didn't take a contested mark the whole night.

Hahahaha

Well f***.

 

[Grogg]

Centre clearances 21-11 killed us, allowing them quick inside 50's. ******* poor effort

Yep.
Decisively harder at the contest, spread beautifully and were able to hit targets going forward, repeatedly.

Our backs were under a hiding to nothing and under the circumstances did a reasonable job considering.

We lost it in the middle, plain and simple.
