Review R23: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Collingwood

Great result but we need to get some weak links out of the team.

Murphy did literally nothing. The one good ground ball he won he bounced up, didn’t give the handball and bombed it to Collingwood.

Shoenberg shouldn’t be playing game for us this year. It’s not 2020-2022.

We miss Max, Rachele and I never thought I’d say it.. Laird who has been good this year.

Defence was amazing.

Frustrating game.

Broke a hoodoo, won a close one, sowed up a minor premiership, who could be upset.

It was a tuff slog for both sides

We beat Collingwood, but it has left me somehow even more unconvinced we can do damage in finals.
I know it's good to win ugly, but that was about the ugliest win I've ever seen.
Defence was rock solid, but unforced errors, missed targets, out on the fulls. Was a hard watch.
The way I see it, if inside 50s were anywhere near close you'd smash them. Their forwards are impotent. So yes, the inside 50 differential was a bit concerning, but surely you'll address that next time you play them, if you do. A chance you'll host them at AO in a QF. You didn't play anywhere near your best imo, maybe the form vs the Eagles games carried over a bit, but this should have you tuned up a bit.

Overall your defence especially was heroic. Umpiring was bad either way, but the Pies have had so many go their way vs you lot. I hope you guys give it a red hot crack in finals, well done and good luck.
 
Port supporter called in to 5AA, Rowie sends him off with

"You support a stinky team, who got beat by 10 goals and that has no future. Get stuffed"

They reality for them is that if we win a flag in the next few years it's diabolically bad for them.

To go three flags to one and with Port being close to a 20 year GF drought makes it incredibly hard for them in a two team town.

They're scared about what's potentially about to happen.
 
Pretty happy with the result but some of our kicking was abysmal. Some truly shocking turnovers under no pressure time and time again.

I like that we don't always take the easy kick. We nail some of those kicks in the first qtr and this is a flogging.

Hey Port flogs reading this.

Talk all you want about injuries or umpires or whatever copium that you try to justify why we’re just getting lucky.

Fact is we support a team that turns up and fights to the death. You, on the other hand, support a club that preaches never giving in yet routinely lets teams have their way with them.

You hang your hopes on a coach who has been there for years now, who supposedly is going to upend the tea table and get you back to where you want to go. But until you weed out the masses of players who are conditional and flakey, things won’t truly change.

Enjoy getting 30k to the Gold Coast game. You talk about history and the bars and the creed, but your 60k plus members don’t turn up the moment things go south.

I wanted you long gone by end of second year

I definitely wanted you gone after last year

Seems I underestimated your perseverance in doing what you felt needed done to get us back on top

All props to you Matthew Nicks

You earned this evening--been a long long time coming

Enjoy it
