Game Day Port v Bulldogs

[Duck Farmer]

Umpiring has honestly been pretty down the line I think.

Dogs have just been better.

Yeah, the umps have been fine. We're just outclassed.

 

[Visenfest]

Quick sides have cut us up for years. That we've failed to come up with a plan for this in all that time is a huge indictment on our coaches. And the least we could have done is picked the better f**king tap ruckman in a game where good service to our mids is crucial. Ladhams isn't a ruckman's a-hole.

 

[proman_x]

They are showing us how to play at the moment, soft efforts. Getting our arse's handed to us in the midfield, most of our guys need to lift a shitload. They are far better with their disposals also.

 

[pastmyprimus]

You can't let afford to let their mids get on top. Dominating right now and setting up their goals.

 

[Buget]

Being smashed in the middle.

like the west coast and Brisbane game, too slow to react.

badly missing Duursma and Butters. Need a spark

 

[Killer Power]

Another midfield capitulation against a contender. Painfully predictable.

It's always been the case for our mids.

If our ruck doesn't win they fall apart. They legitimately cannot adapt to a losing ruck.

 

[TeeKray]

Every single player in the team was s**t that quarter. Amazing stuff.

 

[JUSTWORK]

National broadcast game.

Did we expect anything other than another embarrassment?

 

[Shane_Mag]

Ken Hinkley never has a plan b

 

[Andre]

4 goals should be gettable if the coach could figure out a plan B (hint start by getting Ladhams out of ruck), but this has 80 point loss written over it, unless the Dogs park the bus in the last, to ‘only’ be 10 goals.

It doesn’t matter we’ll have fresh players back late in the season as stupid selections and match day ‘coaching’ will have us nowhere near the top 4 to take advantage of it. ******* Koch and his cupping Kens balls at every chance. If he really wanted to show a spine he’d say top 4 or new coach publicly right now.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Is anyone shocked by this? we’re an average team lol

I've wondered this during the week.

Not much evidence to say otherwise. Downhill skiing is all we've done so far this season except for that one Richmond game (which looks less and less impressive as the tiges probably fall out of the 8 tonight)

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

We never come back from behind and win games.

It’s groundhog day

 

[finbarr]

Umpiring has honestly been pretty down the line I think.

Dogs have just been better.

Except for that blatant throw for the Bont goal that I could see from 170 metres away.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

At least with Hayes there'd be something to get excited about. Ladhams is just bad. Needs to be ditched at the end of the year

 

[philreich]

If the Dogs kick the first goal of the second quarter, the fat lady might start singing. We don't win from 5 goals down against anybody, let alone a top 2 team.

 

[Imhotep]

I've got a plan b play Dixon in the ruck for the rest of the game.

 

[Pommie power]

Same old ken good for one year s**t for two.. repeat

 

[Q Port]

When thinking about how bad this Ladhams performance is, just remember that the Bulldogs are missing their main ruck too.

The Ladhams move, yet another Hinkley masterstroke.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

When our midfield is off, we are putrid

It’s not ******* midfield. It’s whole team “unawareness”. Seriously an u12 coach would tell you to defend first. This s**t is laughable, unaccountable Hinkley bullshit - team wide.

 

[diegodcg]

I've now been watching this club (and pretty much this club exclusively, hardly watch other teams) for a few good years and I feel like I've watched this game a few times before. Difficult to shake off the feeling that we're serial talent wasters and reward the coach's incompetence. That's my way of saying the smirk on Hinkley's face as we concede 6 (that should've been 9 really) in the first quarter makes me want to punch a hole in the wall.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Bulldogs play 2021 football, we play football from the ice age, slow as treacle moving the ball.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Except for that blatant throw for the Bont goal that I could see from 170 metres away.

There have been a few missed free kicks and a few errors both ways, overall its been decent by AFL standards though.

 

[Portwon]

Man Hayes must be bad and they have zero faith if it was really really close on who to play.

Such a Hinkley performance.

You play certain teams certain ways based on their strengths

Not out of it yet but a long long long long way away.
