Review Round 18, 2021 vs St Kilda

[TeeKray]

I know I'm not the only one that was confused about the commentary talking about McKenzie getting subbed only for Trent McKenzie to then take a mark in defence.

Yeah, it would be easier if they just referred to him as the Dulmial Gun.

 

[Jojay]

You never knock back the four points but geeeez that was hard to watch.
Mitch G will be on other clubs radar we have to hold on to this guy!

He's just signed a contract extension (as have just about all our young talent).

 

[ROBBBO]

Bonner played quite well today

 

[Daylight2nd]

mayes is our secret weapon at clutch moments. don't know why. don't know how. thank you footy gods.

 

[Chokito]

To be fair, did pretty well to hold on for the win and grind it out being ravaged by injuries

 

[Marmozet]

If we lost that, the haters would have went on about how we have no depth.

yep, had a couple of big possies in the last. surprised me with a bit of composure.

 

[edgie]

OK. All I know is that we won't win the premiership if those guys aren't there in September.

Even in 2004 we played better missing Primus, Francou, and Nick Stevens from 2003.

He was about the worst player on ground before that though. Completely invisible.

 

[ElectricG]

Anyone else notice we were playing through the middle out of our back line a lot more?
Credit where credit’s due: Bonner made some great plays in this area.

 

[Moo87]

Dixon - The best 6 possession game ever? According to Eddie, it was, and to the eye it was also a far more influential game than the raw stats reveal. Keeps presenting, keeps competing and draws the ball and opponents like a magnet, which allows the likes of Georgi to flourish. 7/10

Nah, that is an accolade that the great John Butcher holds. 6 kicks, 6 goals. Clearly the GOAT*



*In terms of 6 disposal games…

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Eat a dick you negative *s

thats a bit harsh.
dont write off individual players. he is young, learning, evolving.
i thought he was s**t the first few times i watched him at sanfl but he is improving.
thats the great thing about humans. they can learn and improve.
give the lad a break.

Wines is a freak

Genetically gifted.

georgi actually reminds me more of scotty hodges. such competitive aerial awareness. he was the clear difference.

A 1988-1989 Scott Hodges is exactly who this 2021 Georgiades reminds me of. I’m therefore just a bit excited to see the 2022 version.

 

[PJ Power]

mayes is our secret weapon at clutch moments. don't know why. don't know how. thank you footy gods.

And yet, for a very good set shot (Luke Hodge’s words not mine), he keeps missing them from 30-40m out.

 

[davesnothere]

McEntee's game may translate to afl. Would be nice to see him get a game or two and see what's there.

 

[JimmyBC]

Lienert, Mayes & Woodcock are pretty SANFL tier however they probably look worse when the team is this stretched injury wise.

 

[PJ Power]

Duursma, Butters, Rozee, Gray, Fantasia (maybe Jones). That’s a huge difference to the creativity and polish in that side that could come in by finals. Just wish we could stave off new injuries and get those returning guys into good form quickly.

 

[HighBudget]

Marshall wasn’t that bad in defense and as a roamer, maybe a westhoffesque role is his calling?

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

And yet, for a very good set shot (Luke Hodge’s words not mine), he keeps missing them from 30-40m out.

Spot on. If you are going to do * all for 90% of the game you better take the moment when it comes to you, and he stuffed his up. Fortunately he had another opportunity shortly after.

He's kicked 7 goals 19 behinds in the sanfl across his two years playing, I think we can say conclusively he is not a very good set shot.

 

[PJ Power]

Lienert, Mayes & Woodcock are pretty SANFL tier however they probably look worse when the team is this stretched injury wise.

Woodcock nails one of those two set shots he missed so badly in the third, and he ends up with a more influential game than about 80% of Rozee’s matches this year.

 

[Magpiespowaz]

Great win. Sh*t, any win is great atm. Especially against such an in-form opponent. Also, the drama leading up to the game.

But still. Was a bit puzzled by so many shitposters raising the white flag during the week. Anyone would think we were coming up against Salisbury's Quad Squad - CDFA premiers 1968-69-70-71 - not flakey af St. Kilda. I mean, s**t, guys, come on...

HTFU U SOFT CAMPAIGNERS FFS

Ollie. What a beast. He just wouldn't let us lose. Monty must've been working with him coz I'll be damned if he's not the best mark pound-for-pound going round*. Over the past 18 months, he's become the player and leader we all hoped he would. Captain 2022 farken.

Mitch G. Mitch mother f@%king G. Mitch mark-ripping, pack-splitting, goalkicking ass G. Still don't think he's had a "breakout game" just yet. He's just heating up for a Volcanic 8-Goal Tredders Eruption. Careers will end that day. RIP defenders.

fighting for the footy.
lolwut

Shame Bradley Hill never played for us. He's such a typical modern Ports player. Would've sent us absolutely boonta with all the crazy s**t he pulls. Those two scrubber kicks in-a-row were Westhoffian, lmao.

Hinkley v Dixon at lemon time, lol. My money was on Ken. Srsly. He was legit shitty. Charlie must've drank his last Coke Zero or something similarly heinous.

Bring Back The Bars in force against Collingwood this Friday night (if the game goes ahead) fu Eddie, we haven't forgot, u big blowhard bloviating bitch.

Just gotta hang in there til reinforcements arrive. We're hangin' in there. Hangin' tough...

*DISCLAIMER: only watch Port games so Ollie might not actually be the best mark pound-for-pound going around, still gotta be close, but.

 

[HighBudget]

Bonner was like a completely different player tonight. Took his time and patient with ball use (i.e. no sh*t his pants rushed kicks), timely marks in defense. Please more of this.

Have to give credit, the Bon did well! But I was still shitting myself whenever He got possession in the last 10 minutes of the match

 

[Port 2004]

A 1988-1989 Scott Hodges is exactly who this 2021 Georgiades reminds me of. I’m therefore just a big excited to see the 2022 version.

Oh and wasn’t he a joy to watch. So glad that I got to see him from start to finish. Bloody Champion.
