Game Day Round 1, 2023 - Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

[Berry Picker]

I wonder what dribble is going to come out of fagans mouth in the presser.

 

[FeastOrFamine]

Dunkley has been I'm every centre bounce and we've been pantsed. Sure he's tried hard and tackled, not sure how he has helped our clearances though.

Can't expect him to do it on his own

 

[Jivlain]

We just cannot hold a mark

 

[Tom14]

How many easy marks have been dropped?

Uncle fagan isn’t a good coach and sooner people realise this the better . We have all drink our own bath water over the off-season and pre season . Fagan is a reactive coach who waits until the game is done before a move is made . I struggle to see why Rayner wouldn’t have been more benefit in the midfield . We are over over run with half back Flankers . Berry hasn’t had a pre season let’s pick him . If it’s a toss up atm between tunstill and Lyons I’m picking Lyons . What have we done extended a coach who has no tacticsl
Nouse at all . Didn’t Daniher get a rev up about chasing in pre season exit . He is a genuine marshmallow that bloke . Have I missed anyone haha

If you listen to any press conferences you are basically signing up for dribble.

 

[haystark]

Fagan needs to get back to the bench, it’s an omen.

His reasoning for going back to the box is that the playing group has matured and they don’t need him as much… Needs to reverse that decision quicksmart.

Well if no one is going with him, at some point that lonely hand Dunkley was playing would get weak too.

Ashcroft looked a bit stunned with the pace unfolding around him. He'll be better for the run after seeing what it takes.

Rich only 1 over 20 touches. Probably all from kick ins

100%

 

[M Malice]

This is our biggest loss since our last game.

 

[RoyBoy17]

I am. I 100% didn't expect us to serve up an effort this poor, especially in the midfield.

We have a good team on paper. But we did get flogged a few times last year. Melbourne twice and Geelong all 60 odd. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before in recent history. And the game has become a lot more run and gun. Once we lose clearance we just can’t keep up.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Have a shot

 

[M Malice]

Richy has looked all at sea, way too hesitant and slow, like he was for most of last season... he is not alone in this game though.

 

[The Zork]

We’ve played like we were entitled to win this game.


Simple as that.

How many easy marks have been dropped?

I've counted four absolute sodas just in this quarter.

Appalling

[Grasshopper17]

Port fans giving Joe the bronx cheer. That. Will. Do. Me.

 

[iBeng]

Are we just a club thats cursed at ruining top draft picks? McCluggage should be tearing the league apart and he looks like hes scared of shadows out there.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Berry just is clueless how to kick it to a teammates advantage

Massive problem in the first too

 

[mpal6]

Surprised we didn't move Berry to the middle to shutdown one of their prime movers like Wines or Horne-Francis.

We had wing cover in Wilmot, Tunstill, Deven etc, could've sent Berry inside.

Agree 100% and posted as much earlier.

 

[BRAB]

Good chance next week for the midfield to bounce back straight away against a team that’s beaten us like this over the past couple of years.
