Autopsy Rd 6 vs Port Adelaide: Bathwater cocktail brings us back to Earth

[Flawed Genius]

Very disappointing

A lot went wrong

 

[The Nostradamus]

simpkin, maj, marley, clarke, jacobs, cunners all good

jmac turnstiles piss off to the vfl
take goldy with you

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Gray, Neade and Wingard combine for 8 goals.

Small defenders putrid again.

Very disappointing

A lot went wrong

true but with benefit of hindsight we were never going to challenge after missing Higgins,

couple of positives for me, saw some more good signs from Simpkin and a lesser extent LDU,

few goals to keep BBB in the coleman race,

maj defence experiment still optimistic.

a few off games by a few players but seriousely lmac and dumont have totally fallen off the radar,

given we likely wont wil a game for the next few weeks really should give ahern and pruesey a run.

we were beaten at the selection table with this ploy, and they deliver out in front of them very well.

 

[Jindrrk]

Port are still pretenders. This win tells no one anything, like the win in sydney.

We were just s**t in a lot of areas. Come back to reality boys and pull your finger out as Sydney got over the line today.

I never liked the media attention

 

[shinboner spiggs]

The effort and intensity was there for most of the day, hard to be too disappointed with that. Taking out one of our best mids in Higgins was always going to hurt.

I’m happy to see us push hard for most of the day, we bring the effort like that and add the polish of Higgins and we’ll win more games.

Impressed with daw again.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Don't think it was bathwater drinking at all tbh.

Just a taxing game last week and missing a vital midfield cog, with a few players having bad games.

The bathwater drinkers were the ones who went into this game thinking it was an easy win.

 

[Ry009]

Thread title on point.

Brad was horribly outcoached today.

 

[andana]

simpkin, maj, marley, clarke, jacobs, cunners all good

jmac piss of to the vfl
take goldy with you

Goldy top in afl fantasy points. That's a quality competition

 

[CrazyQ]

Very disappointing game.

Majak building very nicely.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Dixon, a makeshift ruckman, outmuscling goldy was a terrible look.

Goldy has gone full circle and become a useless dinosaur once again.

We seemed to be playing zone defence. Not working boys.

Seriously are you physically capable of making a post without s**t-talking JMac?

He was far from the only player who had a down game today.

 

[Augustine]

Negatives:

- forwardline was very dysfunctional
- bombing into the forwardline again
- Jonas beating Brown despite two junk time goals
- midfield depth just not there.

Positives:

- Cunnington good as usual
- Majak another promising game
- Simpkin best game for a while

I welcome the return of Higgins next week vs Swans

Maj looked better in there

 

[domiroo]

* you umpires 17 and 3 you helped Koch keep his job a Port Presidant

 

[naturally north]

A bit went right as well.

Simpkin 23 disposals, thought he hadn't been too involved recently

Anderson 21 disposals he's building nicely

Daw- 14 disposals 5 marks, 4 tackles is really becoming a staple down back, we even had the confidence to move Robbie Tarrant fwd.


Just copped a footy lesson from a side that kept their feet and used the ball better.

J Mac, *McDonald, Dumont and Turner are a concern, the latter just doesn't impact a game enough for my liking.



* we honestly didn't think he was a first rounder.....

 

[andana]

Very disappointing game.

Majak building very nicely.

It's a good sign when a player stands up when most every one else is having a bad day.

Lol Goldstein was one of our better players.

He was pathetic as always but moreso today

 

[Flawed Genius]

Simpkin 23 touches and a goal

Cunnington 27 touches and 6 clearances

 

[trooroo4life]

Effort was nowhere near where it needed to be and well short of where it was last week.

Just weren’t clean enough today, first touch was off. Fumbled way too many times which welcomes pressure and leads to turnovers.

Cunners outstanding, Maj did what he needed to do, Anderson battled hard, Jy showed a lot of good signs.

Very disspointed with Goldy beaten by a part timer, JMac soft as butter couple of absolutely putrid efforts, Turner isn’t getting the job done.

We’ll have these inconsistent sort of days along the way but effort should be a given and for big chunks of the game today it just wasn’t there.

Good comments. Higoo may be a few more weeks depending on lip.

 

[bennymate]

Good signs from Simpkin, also great to see LDU snag his first goal.
