2nds Port Adelaide vs Glenelg - Round 14 @ Alberton

[Coobk001]

Crowd was dead against Brisbane last week and they were dead today.

Sounded dead on the stream too. So many bad umpiring calls, and barely a peep. Not sure if that was just from where the effects mic was?

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Marshall could have been some sort of player- but he ended up at port and will be just another kpf to the scrap heap under Ken Hinkley.


Meanwhile Sammy Gray should net us a late 3rd rounder thanks to all the games he has been gifted.

There was a couple of annoyed people but for the most part the crowd didn’t give a s**t. We need these guys to give us something to cheer about.

 

[Capital Power]

We lose by the quarter time margin. Sounds familiar.

Marshall having a stinker.

Qualifies him for team to play GWS

People fall apart because they don’t believe in their skills.

Trying to fix that with anything other than practicing skills is hogwash.

I’m talking about only being able to play when the pressure is off, not patchy skills.

Don’t get me wrong, there is no substitute for skilful footballers. It you can have the best skills in the comp but there no good to you if you’re soft and mentally weak and only play well when there is no pressure and you’re allowed to.

Nice goal Woodcock.

Should've be playing instead of Sutcliffe yesterday

Yep, just work harder from the start should do it ey Ken?

 

[NoddyHolder]

Should've be playing instead of Sutcliffe yesterday

There's probably 10 people who should have played before Sutcliffe

Lokan and Cornes walk past me at 1/2 time "have a look at the scoreboard", neither even looked sideways at me.
Annoyed! I was f**king livid. Embarrassing to be humiliated by a vastly superior team in both tactics and execution.

Side note. In the women's game a player suffered back/spinal injury that resulted in the game being called off.
The ambulance drove onto the ground to treat her but when it drove off the ground it jerked/jolted in going over the gutter.
Ramps please Port just in case it happens again heaven forbid. My thoughts to her and family/friends.

I wouldn't expect any coach to look in that situation. One of the biggest guidelines to almost everyone involved in the AFL industry is to not get involved with members and fans in the media. I wouldn't worry too much about it, they definitely heard it.

 

[Marat]

Not too many positives out of the day but these are what I can find; Woodcock with two nice sausage rolls in the last, he knows where the goals are and is a penetrating kick:Hayes kicked a couple and was better in the ruck, did some nice things around the ground; Ladhams also okay around the ground and a couple of good goals; Garner very good in the first half - a big mark and hard at it - should be playing firsts; Frederick with some nice run and carry( McKenzie with a heap of the ball but burnt it a little. That’s it - I’m done

 

[philreich]

The whole club has that stench about it at the moment that can't be ignored any longer.

Unless you're part of club management.

went today s**t game credit to the bays they wanted it more

went today s**t game credit to the bays they wanted it more

We've got a long way to go to become anything like the Tigers

 

[Great8]

Sorry for the intrusion but the wife had a function in the Port today so I popped along for a look. The Bays are a well drilled side but Port looked really flat in the flat half and were content to chip it around with no real intent. Something just doesn’t seem right and you could sense it amongst the crowd. With some AFL slots up for grabs I thought there might be a few guys trying their best to be selected but overall there wasn’t too many that did their cause any good. Drew was your shining light IMO, had a real crack all game and never gave up. If Ken is rewarding guys then he has to play AFL this week

 

[GremioPower]

How good Frampton is? Without him, our offense has completely vanished! It cannot be coincidence.

Seven goals down at 3QT, after a goal-less HALF. Give Billy an extension NOW!

P.S.: Good morning, folks. The good news is that we are better than today's score. We can rebound from it. There is no hope for the Power, but the Maggies can do it.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Surely amongst all the coaches we have, one of them would be genius enough to work out why our slow starts.
Obviously oppo teams have worked us out. Time we need to do something different at the beginning of games.

We had slow start issues under Chad for his first half season of coaching. We were short kicking out of defence until about 40m out from goal and then trying to run the ball with handball. We'd then come out in the second quarter and kick over the lines from defence to the wing area and then handball receive and kick. About mid-way of the season we changed and did what we were doing in second quarters from the beginning of the game, and it made a difference to our poor starts, and that's how I saw it. Today was like that first half of Chad's season.

 

[woffy]

Lol Paddy.
Our players have lost interest.

This is what happens when the players in the maggies that are knocking the door down get overlooked for an AFL call-up for a player/s who are playing very average in the SANFL!

 

[ozph1870]

HT| Interesting looking scoreline at half time. Absolutely perfect conditions at Alberton Oval but Port have been held goalless. The Magpies are defending gallantly and reduced the dangerous Tigers to five goals.


Wtf... Just saw the club had put this out at half time yesterday...
What have we become.

 

[Capital Power]

It looked just the same on Saturday when we were playing to protect a four goal deficit

 

[Ford Fairlane]

What was the stat at one stage, 101 disposals for 1 point?

We don't have the skill level to play this high possession game plan - we are not peak Geelong. It bogs us down and gives opposition teams time to get numbers back and block up our forward 50.

We saw it against Richmond and from what I've read here, we saw it against Glenelg.

 

[Capital Power]

Yeah it's like we play on a donut rather than an oval. Don't play direct, ball will disappear down the hole...

 

[Ford Fairlane]

“They are by far the best team we have played this year so credit to Glenelg.”

While Port took a run of good form into the clash Lokan said his side was five or 10 percent off around the ground.

“It is another good learning curve for our predominately young group that you can’t give any side an inch and if you do,” he said.
