Review R9: The Good, Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide

CBA numbers

ROB - 25
Dawson - 24
Peatling - 21
Soligo - 20
Rankine - 10
Berry - 6
Rachele - 3
Thilthorpe - 2
Walker - 1

So basically just ran ROB, Dawson, Peatling and Soligo all night in the midfield and watched them get toweled up.

Port mostly ran with Bergman and Butters and then as their 3rd man spread it between Wines, JHF and Drew.
VB is a moron .. as is Nicks
 
I think we can all accept we're not beating the best teams with that performance. And that nicks isn't likely to ever lead us to a flag.

But that was a game after qtr time that I kept expecting us to lose given most of our good players were shite their mids were on top (and umps killing momentum).

I'm just happy that we won a game where it looked like we'd typically lose it.
 
Has to be one of the worst analysis I’ve seen tonight 🤣

Rankine kept us in the game despite being down

The assist to Rachele at half time then the 2 goals in a row to give us the winning margin

We would have lost 3 more showdowns without him
You've gone from one of the best to worst posters on this board.

Good:

Beating the pear.
TT - 5 Contest Marks. Pear - 6 contested marks. He is our best player and if he fires we can beat anyone. Still has improvement in him.
Forward line is the best in the league. So damn efficient.
We are 6-3. One game and 4% away from top spot on the ladder and a very real possibility of being 2 games clear of 9th.
We have only played one of the bottom 5 sides so far this year and have the 3rd best percentage.

Bad:

Soligo - what happened to him after the first month. Is it injury? Is it other teams figuring him out? Is Peatling taking over as the better option?

Finlayson 3 goals. What a muppet that bloke is. Face you want to punch.

Ugly:

Nicks - Butters, slowing the game down in the 4th, Not putting Tilly behind the ball
This boards opinion of Cumming. Hasn't performed anywhere close to what we are paying him to do. Need to swap him with Milera and get him across HB ASAP.

I feel like someone that puts some effort into a post like that shouldn't get the lol emoticon. Like you can disagree but you don't have to be a jerk.

To be honest this is probably the mix I'd want to be at most of our CBAs. Tonight I would have thrown Dawson back more though cos of the Bergman tag. See what port did in response. Maybe Rankine more CBAs to get him involved?

We've basically only played middle of the ladder teams so far

7 games to come against the 5 other top 6 sides.
6 games to come against the bottom 5
And another Showdown

Moronic to think that Rankine didn’t help win us the game when it mattered

Goal assist to Rachele on half time when we were cooked

Ridiculous crumb and reflex handball to TT that then handballed to Fog to snap a classy goal , then kicks 2 goals in next 8 mins to give us the key to winning game

The soccer goal was crazy freakish

Basically class when the game was on line when we needed it X 4

Will not apologise to any one silly enough to think Rankine wasn’t important

Correct. Lots of footy to go, but hard to be too upset at being 6-3. I think everyone on this board would have jumped at the chance to be where we are at.

If by some miracle we beat Collingwood this week, it will be our biggest win since the 2017 prelim.

If we win that - there is every chance we could be sitting top 2 after Round 11.

You need to hurry up and watch Rankine I50 in the game tonight , it’s like you haven’t seen it yet

Played to defensive but guess what we won , and people were complaining we were letting too many goals being scored earlier in the season .Simply on here they whinge if we win or lose
A million times yes. I missed the game, saw the result and came on here to savour the gloating. Pages of sooking.
We won a frigging showdown
 
Good win. Felt like we made it difficult throughout (especially in the first quarter where we should have buried them) but job is done and another win is in the books.
 
Forgot to mention Worrell.

What a game from him. Led both teams with R50's and Metres gained. Fierce in the contest and used it really well tonight.

Him and Keane really compliment each other.

At the beginning of the season - I had it between Keane and Butts for that 2nd tall. Keane has far surpassed him. Butts is the perfect replacement for Murray.
