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

[Alwaysacrow]

Berry re-inventing himself has added so much to our midfield. Those 2 long goals were just gold. It's great to see he's finally found some confidence.

What a win! Especially in those conditions. Was a little nervous at quarter time we hadn’t taken advantage of our dominance but boy did we make up for it in the remaining three quarters.

Highlights tonight include Port’s banner tearing apart before the players ran through it, Port’s cheer squad being non-existent tonight (not even bothering to get their floggers out, it was like they didn’t care about tonight), and our cheer squad sending Kenny off with the plane!

 

[George CantStandYa]

Lukoscious has been a good pick up

Was he subbed at 1/4 time?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Aliir?

No way

Saw this on Facebook "I hate Port Power" page, seems appropriate.....

 

[Syd Crow]

Rewatching it now.

"Showdowns often come down to one kick"

LOL

In the nuts this time....

Soligo is finishing the last 2 months of the regular season as strong as his first months after the break, will be an A grade midfielder when he has the tank. Finished with one more disposals and kicked 2 goals than Butters. Rash, do you know who Soligo is by now lol.

yep now they have Can’t Count Carr

 

[Geoffa32]

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

At what point did he realise he made a mistake?

If he lifted his eyes and looked at where he wanted to kick how did he do that?

 

[radiojake]

so Thilthorpe's 19 disposals is a career best - in those conditions for a big man quite an effort

 

[Peter Doherty]

How many of ports team tonight make out best 22?

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

Who would Bergman replace?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Who would Bergman replace?

Seriously.
You would find a spot for him, Close to AA class.

Kane Cornes said a week ago Mark Keane isn't a top 15 key defender, bloke is a star.

He’s only behind Worrell as the highest rated key defender in the league since Gather Round… 4th in the league for intercepts over the entire season too.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

“Can’t play 3 talls up forward in the wet”

Kane Cornes, probably

 

[Syd Crow]

yep now they have Can’t Count Carr

Wayne?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I'm not completely sold on Pedlar but damn if he isn't one of the unluckiest players on our list. Even if you put aside the injuries, so many times he puts himself in the right spots and his teammates miss him. The umps don't like him either. He gets pinged when he's done nothing wrong, and never gets away with those 50/50 calls.

 

[Jack McKraken]

Loving Berry’s ability to burst from a contest. At times he looks like he’s about to be buried, then he’s in the clear and kicking 50m goals.

The Cook pass to Fog in the last- must persist and see if it’s finally clicked.

Butters played well tonight after the first Q (and heavy knee to the head in the 3rd?) but had no friends - and even with that performance they still lose by 98.

Peatling’s composure/disposal was awful tonight. Love what he does at the contest, but he burnt it time after time and usually with players in much better position.

We’re doing the little things that the good teams do - tap ons to advantage, consistent unrelenting pressure, winning by 98 points…, getting around to each other - noticeable all game, but even early on we’d get around whoever had killed the contest, while port players just jogged back to position solo

He spent a lot more time in the ruck in the first half than usual since ROB got stuck on the bench a few times.

 

[jirkago1975]

Showing maturity now and you can see it. How many times we hit the ball to a player in a better position or just slapping the ball forward instead of taking possession, can’t remember the last time I saw Adelaide do it. Even Rob has added a lot of variety to his ruck work. We are doing things that great teams do

You can tell that Keane hates Port. You have got to love the big angry Irishman.

Really liking it - but we did get a bit cute with it in the conditions at times

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Dealing with the pressure of finally being considered a contender is a big tick. Taken a while for media to wake up that we are right in this but they did and we didn't go into our shells under weight of expectation.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

That 50m pass from Bergman to Fog's chest at the first bounce was a highlight. Pity Fog missed a sitter by his standards.

 

[ThePrideOf]

Bad:
Port. We beat up on a SANFL side tonight.

Not our fault they have no depth let alone no good players or good coaches

Imagine if it was dry
