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

[MRB37]

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.

As Campo said after the game on the radio though, you give that many I50's to Geelong in a final and you're gonna be in trouble with Cameron, Neale and Danger down there

 

[Stephen2]

Oh, wasn't Issac Cumming a good pick up?

Some nuffies wanna equate him to Mackay! They couldn't be more wrong!

 

[arsene wenger1]

We don’t win that without Murphy

 

[CrowBloke]

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.

Great .

They can all (players, Coaches, supporters, sponsors) --- ALL --- eat a bucket of crispy-skin deep-fried dicks.

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.

We're the only AFL team in SA right now.

 

[MRB37]

Kinda funny to see the Pies fans calling us the "Adelaide Throws" given the way their team plays.

Conceding 71 Inside 50s.

They said that in the coverage as well but on my AFL app I'm seeing we conceded 54 inside 50s not 71. Anyone else??

Meh

 

[chrisso crow]

Awesome:
Guaranteed top 2 and 2 home finals.
Finally ridding ourselves of the Collingwood hoodoo. Can't stress how important that is.

Nothing else matters.

Massive kudos to the defensive unit

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Great win

So much upside

Dawson didn't have a big game
Rankine didn't have a big game
Thilthorpe didn't have a big game
We will never lose the midfield that badly again in the history of the club
We will never give up that big an I50 discrepancy ever again
Max to add
Rachele to add

And still won

 

[mick500]

Meh

Thanks for clearing that up

 

[Carn The Texan]

Good
Bad
Ugly
Beautiful: Fly talking about honorable losses for once

 

[CrowBloke]

Take er easy dude

Nope. You can take "er" easy, mate, if you want.

10 years of losses to those campaigners, over.
A close win, even better.
We're top and likely to be Minor Premiers.

Mate, we've been in the Finals WILDERNESS for 8 years and I gonna wallow while the wallowing's good.

 

[cleanhands]

Thanks for the info

It’s stats, I’m not a bid fan

Sometimes the App doesn't refresh team or player stats properly. You have to close it and reopen

Gotcha. Thanks. 71 seems ridiculous and I thought it couldn't be right, but there you go.

 

[latinoheat]

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"

Probably the ford escort

 

[pjcrows]

Gold Coast will know what their winning margin will need to be over Essendon to get 4th from either Collingwood or Hawthorn.

 

[Coopers]

Number ****in 32.




Let's ****in go.

 

[big78sam]

I love to bag Murphy as much as the next person but he wasn't our worst tonight. He did a decent job quelling Josh Daicos

. Some of Daicos' touches were kick outs as well.

 

[Geoffa32]

Two big ticks this year, beating Collingwood and Hawthorn.

Found a way to win.

That feeling at the siren. These nights are why we love Footy.


One negative.

Get rid of Murphy. He adds nothing.

 

[Interloperer]

Top 2 is guaranteed. Top 1 (probably) requires beating North Melbourne

 

[Coopers]

They don't have that midfield and those half backs. They put 2 blokes behind the ball and turn it into a slog, then we're getting a lot of looks. Filthy kicks 5.

 

[MatthewB]

My heart rate was 119 at the end of the game
