2nds Port Adelaide vs West Adelaide - Round 9 @ Alberton

[Visenfest]

Seems to me that we have some mids who could all easily replace and out-perform Mead.

 

[Interstater]

Thanks RossFC for the commentary. Makes it feel like Im watching the game.

Thanks to everyone on this thread for making me feel less isolated.

 

[Us against the rest]

Mani Liddy slotted straight in and played okay, along with Lord with 3 goals and 6 marks & Sweet with 2 goals and 40 H/O, Soldo with 2 goals & 22 H/O.

Lorenz needs to play AFL.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

Sweet must have been dominant in the second half. Finished with 40 hitouts, 2 goals, 17 possessions, a couple of goal assists, 9 tackles (the most for us) and the equal most clearances for us (8).

 

[Doctor Feel]

Did Liddy molest the oppo?

 

[ibd77]

Maybe. Visentini v Gawn could be a blowout. Also with the amount of frees called against Visentini for not obliguing to let the GWS ruck throw him out of every ruck contest, I fear what the umps will do to him when Gawn, who infringes without penalty more than anyone, comes up against Visentini.

Gawn sh1ts me. Literally umpires his own games and the umps oblige him.

Very good Port man that Mani Liddy

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Nice to see we had a big win with lots of contributors.

U know what, hell yeah

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Any chance Williams would be a better option up front than SPP?

 

[philthy05]

Lorenz has to get games now.

Yes we will be fielding a young side , but we’re a bottom 6 team, that’s exactly what you should be doing , fielding a young team that you try to develop.

 

[RossFC]

Any chance Williams would be a better option up front than SPP?

He got his 2 goals from the back pocket and just pushed up. He can’t play forward because he’s too slow at pressuring.

 

[240volt]

Williams should be delisted at seasons end.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

He got his 2 goals from the back pocket and just pushed up. He can’t play forward because he’s too slow at pressuring.

SPP has the advantage in leg speed, but that’s where it ends for me. Williams couldn’t be any less effective than SPPs output last night, & it’s certainly not the first time he’s stunk it up.

 

[portly]

Why the turnaround in the second half? Cannot just be the oppo running out of steam?

HARTLETT MAGIC

 

[PJ Power]

Watched the second half on delay. Much, much better.

The competitiveness both around ground level (e.g., at stoppage) and in the aerial contests went up a lot.
Then there was the improved tackling and exciting overlap run, carry and handball.

Our handball was excellent in the last quarter especially, really good drawing of opposition players and then finding one of our guys free close to goal.

Special shout out to Sweet who rucked extremely well in the second half. Lachie Charleson looked like a completely different player than in any of his previous outings and had me wondering whether he could somehow still carve out an AFL career. We were also well served by Barrett as a small forward.

In the middle, Liddy made a big impact and combined well with Lorenz who deserves an AFL call-up and Watkins who probably deserves a spot on our list, the way others are going. McKinley provided great dash.

Over four quarters, I was most impressed by Rome Burgoyne - he looked so much more composed than previous weeks and had an element of toughness to his game, like his brother at his best. Lai also is a very promising type.

Whitlock, Lord and Soldo did what they needed to do with so much ball coming in, for each to get on the scoreboard. I like Whitlock - he looks like a pretty complete tall forward prospect. Good in the air, leads well, contests hard, more than reasonable below his knees, pretty good speed and a good enough shot on goal.

Sotos?

 

[PJ Power]

With JHF, then Lukosius and Jones all hopefully to get back on the park in the next month, the SANFL side should have a lot of AFL experience in it for the rest of the year.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Clearly Hartlett has resigned at 3/4 time

Maybe it's Surjan?

 

[Interstater]

Just found this: like finding water in the desert.

Fake news. Port kicking straight? That ain’t Port.

Has been hanging around the club lately

Trying to get himself a job perhaps

 

[Chizza12]

Pressure for spots!

Lorenz has to be knocking the door

Lorenz BOG, staggering he hasn't been given a run of AFL games. Liddy, very good, could play AFL this season. Lai is raw but definitely has high potential as a wing/half back. Whitlock developing really nicely, just leave him in the SANFL until next year. Sweet can do some unbelievable stuff, see him getting his spot back soon.
