Review R20: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port: Like taking candy from a baby

[pjcrows]

No they don’t.

They don't realise that beyond press conferences, Hinkley hasn't been coaching them. Carr has. Ken has been sitting behind everyone up in the box drinking soft drink (literally). He hasn't even had headphones on.

 

[Scorpus]

I only watched re-runs so wasn't part of the zeitgeist. I always assumed Wesley was never popular.

To be fair I think you are right and fans turned on Wesley immediately

A bit like how I turned against Rozee when he was drafted to Port

 

[rubbers0ul]

I've often wished we could poach Rozee but the sheen has wore off him now. He's a soft front runner and Wesley Crusher lookalike.

What’s with butters and rozee running full tilt , dropping the ball and pretending they never had possession of it, flap their arms about like Mr vacuum while falling to the ground without being tackled? Do they try and sucker the umpires in like this every game?

 

[Geoffa32]

Keane would still bounce the ball in snow

I dry night compared to his home town

 

[Redleg Crow]

Surely by now every club has realised that the “coach succession plan” is complete shit

 

[WeeBlake]

How many of ports team tonight make out best 22?

Butters? Rozee? Georgiades? JHF when he’s fit? Who else? Bergman?

Aliir?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Port has Geelong at the cattery next. Jezza would be rubbing his hands together.

 

[spenze]

JHF didn’t play

Neither did Lukoscious

 

[Geoffa32]

Are Butters and NWM really going to waste the next 5 or so years of their prime years at Port?


I guess they will be well paid.

 

[Syd Crow]

No they don’t.

Port Adelaide supporters are so deluded they think the AFL club was founded in 1870!

 

[BRL121]

ANB said hamstring tightness for Max. Not confirmed if he'll miss time, but sounded just being conservative and no risk

He was limping like hell.

 

[GreyCrow]

Do Port fans realise how seriously ****ed they are going forward?

I sent a text to a mate and said ''Port are so ineffective ''

They then kick the next 3 goals


Then they didnt and I felt my comment stood the test of time

The problem is their KPFs arent that good and drafting one will take time and there arent any around unless you offer Jeremy Cameron the LeFevere Peninsula

Their KPDs are ok - not great - but again need one solid contributor.

They will have the same issue we had and others had of having one component in contention while the other 2 are down

We have all 3 components in place now

Butters strikes me as a guy that will leave if he thinks success isn't possible at Port. NWM is apparently quite homesick.

Ugly: The MC after announcing Thilthorpe as the medallist, declaring the Adelaide Crows as the winners of "Shotdown 58".

Seriously?

 

[jirkago1975]

Such an even performance by all, I thought Milera was great tonight and stood out. He was just so clean with the ball and made excellent decisions.

Peatling makes our midfield so much better too, he has a defensive mindset which complements the rest of the midfielders. We are looking very good and should challenge in September and not just make up the numbers

Bergman for sure - he laced out Fogarty better than anyone on our team managed all night!

Peatling does that thing which other team's midfielders always do to us, where he's been beaten to the ball but somehow just gets in an arm, or a tiny bump on the body, and ends up creating a fumble.

And then he's able to switch from pressure to winning the ball in a split-second. Love watching him go about it in the contest.

 

[Crowman32]

I really hope they persevere with Cook. His kicking is elite eg his kicking to forgarty in the last quarter resulting in a goal to fog.

 

[Crow_68]

The laughable:

Bergman’s opening clearance
DBJ ****ing the bed
Derwayne’s despondent voice
No first round pick
Soligo seeking out body contact so he could rag doll them to the ground

 

[Trigger13]

Good: we have a Rash up our sleeve.

 

[Syd Crow]

Bergman for sure - he laced out Fogarty better than anyone on our team managed all night!

I was thinking that also!

 

[WetCrow1991]

Seriously ,?

Yep, thankfully he got told off. I don't think many people heard it.

 

[cmndstab]

The laughable:

Derwayne’s despondent voice

I'll have you know that Dwayne declared after the match that he was "delighted" at how potent Adelaide looked.

Lying through his damn teeth, haha.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Rewatching it now.

"Showdowns often come down to one kick"

LOL
