Port v Sydney Match Thread

[Macca19]

Well the game is about to start. Its a must win game for us. Im 50/50 about our chances, not 100% confident we can win at a ground and against a team that we struggle against.

 

[Macca19]

Walsh starting forward it looks like. Tredders and Lade up forwad, Barry on Tredders. Wakelin to Hall, Chad on Goodes.

 

[Macca19]

Sydney had most of the possesions in the opening 2 minutes.

Ablett high kick to the goalsquare, O'Loughlin marks something he simply shouldnt have. Bishop was in no mans land. Should goal, and he does.

Port 0.0
Sydney 1.0

 

[Macca19]

Wanganeen starting in the middle.

Cochrane stuffs up a stupid handball, turn the ball over, ball ends up with Buchanan on 50 who kicks to the leading O Loughlin. Pointless handball that went nowhere near its target. Get him off.

O Loughlin goals.

Port 0.0
Sydney 2.0

O'Loughlin again marks and goals......Cochrane has turned it over twice

 

[Macca19]

O Keefe marks in front of Wilson 40 out on the boundary. We are struggling to win a kick at the moment. Difficult goal to kick, finds Mathews between 3 Port defenders 40 out on a better angle. Nice kick, just misses

Port 0.0
Sydney 2.1

 

[Macca19]

Ablett has a shot from 50, nearly marked by O Keefe, rushed thru

Port 0.0
Sydney 2.2

Cant get it forward of centre. As i say that we get it quickly down there, Ebert crumbs the pack and his snap is smothered. Sydney stuffing around in our 50, get it out but straight to Cornes, poor kick to Lade, turnover, Bishop runs it out of defence, Kane runs onto the ball in 50, cant get it, great tackle by Mahoney....holding the ball. Pretty stiff.

Will shoot from 35 out on a 45 degree angle. Poor kick, misses everything, Ebert grabs it and snaps to the hot spot, Kane takes as tough a mark as you can get running back into a pack. Top mark. Should goal. 20 out. Good goal.

Port 1.0
Sydney 2.2

 

[Macca19]

Eckermann on, Dew off, Gets it straight away up forward, Tredrea boots it long forward but out on the full. Called a throw in...looked about 2 feet over the line.

Ebert passes to Monty, Kane gets slammed in the back by Kirk. Same spot as last kick...20 out. Missed it....bloody poor kick.

Ebert has been busy so far.

Port 1.1
Sydney 2.2

 

[Macca19]

Kane has had 6 disposals, Chad 5 and 3 marks, Monty 4 touches.

Cassisi trys to clear, goes straght to O Loughlin, snaps high...Monty takes a saving mark.

Kennelly is 50 out. Goes to the hot spot, finds Crouch, handballs to Kirk, snaps, doesnt make it, Saddington nearly juggles a mark. Throw in. O Keefe snaps, misses

Port 1.1
Sydney 2.3

Memo To Port: WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

 

[Sheeds]

Also credit to the opposition where it is due, Cochrane is playing a very good game for the Swans.

 

[Macca19]

Tredrea long to full forward, Primus nearly marked one handed, bounce 10 out on the goalsquare. Need to goal here. Rushed thru.

Port 1.2
Sydney 2.3

2 minutes left in the quarter. Very boring game so far.

Montgomery spoils Wilson, the ball goes forward, O Loughlin marks, goes to Mcveigh who misses a sitter. ********ing Monty.

Port 1.2
Sydney 2.4

 

[Sheeds]

Port know what a vital game this is, yet they come out so disinterested in that first quarter.

Very dissapointing indeed. Give them the rocket at quarter time Chocco.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Woeful first term - Wont be winning with that ******** house footy

 

[Macca19]

1/4 time

Port 1.2
Sydney 2.4

Goals
P - K Cornes
S - O Loughlin 2

Best
P - Wakelin, K Cornes, Ebert
S - O Loughlin, Bolton, Buchanan

Boring game. Sydney doing their usual flood everybody back, Port eating into their hands by chipping it up the ground, Sydney trying to run it back up with some success...probably should have kicked 1 or 2 more goals.

No real movement going forward for Port, just bang and hope at the moment...isnt really working.

Wouldnt surprise me if we are 5 goals down at 1/2 time.

Also credit to the opposition where it is due, Cochrane is playing a very good game for the Swans.

I am going to start a delist the roach thread

 

[Macca19]

Ablett from 50, out on the full

Port 1.2
Sydney 2.4

Tredrea marks 50 out, huge contested mark by Ebert from behind a pack of about 7 KPP players. Huge grab, 20 out, slight angle......hits the post. Poor effort.

Port 1.3
Sydney 2.4

 

[Macca19]

jeez Cassisi nearly did the fluff of the year. We are playing terribly.

Primus big mark on the wing...called a free kick. Again chipping sideways. Wakelin now, finds Francou, doesnt take it, back to Wakelin, Wanganeen, Jolly takes one of the marks of the year. Huge grab. Poor kick, Dew gets it back inside 50, Thurstans tackle, weak free to Sydney.

Dew misses

Port 1.4
Sydney 2.4

 

[Sheeds]

WTF does Tredrea have to do for a freekick!!!!! I was unware you could just grab players and hang off them.

Come on ump, that is 4 clear freekicks to Tredrea within 50 that have been missed.

 

[Macca19]

Jeez Wilson, terrible kick. God knows what he was doing there. O Loughlin marks 40 out dead in front. What a ********ing pathetic kick. O Loughlin passes to Ablett who kicks high from 40 and goals.

Lift your ********ing game Wilson.

Sydney 3.4

 

[Sheeds]

I seriously cannot watch this crap.

 

[Macca19]

O Loughlin again marks 45 out on the boundary. Need a change there, hes taken about 6 marks inside 50. Passes to O Keefe, same distance, better angle.

We are making so many skill errors its not funny.

O Keefe misses

Port 1.4
Sydney 3.5

More errors, Moore misses. A free kick would help. One sided umpiring has been ridiculous.

Port 1.4
Sydney 3.6

 

[Macca19]

O Loughiln takes his 6th mark inside 50. Right on the boundary. Most likely pass off. Miracle goal from there. Point

Port 1.4
Sydney 3.7

Moore shoots from 45 out, misses

Port 1.4
Sydney 3.8

Sydney are peppering the goals but cant get it thru, we cant get it out of Sydneys forward line. We look nowhere near like winning this game at the moment.

Primus a quick kick forward while being tackled from a throw in, finds Lade. 40 out, pretty tough angle. Just missed.

Port 1.5
Sydney 3.8

 

[Sheeds]

We do not even look like kicking a goal.

Come on Ladey drill it............Jesus

WTF is going on!!

I wonder if we can finish with a wetsail, maybe jag 2 goals in the second half.

 

[The Hobo]

seems we are very lucky to stay in touch

we seem to be passing to the other team alot.

skills seem terrible

we used to be the fittest most skillful team in the afl.

now we seem like the worst
