Game Day Round 19, 2023: Port Adelaide Magpies vs Collingwood at Adelaide Oval.

[Black 18]

How bad has Wines become?

We've gone from the worst leader ever of the PAFC to the second worst leader ever for the PAFC. Good leadership assessment Ken!

He was putrid tonight.

Too many guys unable to do anything when it counts, or for that matter, most times. Too many passengers.

McEntee is pointless. Can't win a contest, his defensive work is nothing but a myth give or take the odd moment, gets in the way of players as he desperately tries to get a stat. Absolute pointless.

Farrell lost us the game with soft efforts. He played ok and has played some good games but just goes to show what he's actually made of.

Our wings are a distaser zone, we get nothing from them at all and when Wines goes hiding out there it's even worse.

So angry over that.

We're close but just far too many mentally weak and not good enough for AFL types that let us down every single time it matters.

Got too many poor skilled and slow players to do anything in September

 

[dav3]

We had our opportunities, we didn't take them, and the last couple of years have shown Collingwood just find a way. We showed we're a chance

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Did Collingwood get pinned for one holding the ball? Did any critical decision go your way? That Jamie Elliott mark was out. F**k the umps and f**k Collingwood, Port were robbed. AFL manufactures this Collingwood fairytale.

QFT

I don't want to be a negative Nancy but while we did have bad umpiring and bad goal kicking, great or premiership clubs should really overcome that and still win the game.

We don't have that.

It's just a repeat of the Richmond prelims.

Idk I just felt a lack of want and ruthlessness to be a premiership side.

 

[gbear]

* off Hinkley!

 

[PowerBaz]

Another close loss in a big game, don’t want to hear good effort that’s the season done. Should have been further up didn’t take our chances.
Sick of being the bridesmaid.

‘Ken’

 

[OneGreatClub]

Good game. No time for pants pissing. It doesn't mean much in the end, we can still finish top 2.

I think it’s gonna be tough now, comparing our fixture to Lions but meh, Collingwood will likely win it all anyway.

 

[johnnysix]

To all those loosing their s**t and saying we're cooked and other OTT reactions... Would you have said the same thing had JHF's kick to Farrel resulted in a goal? I'm not saying we're world beaters but that's about where we're at. We need to get better.

 

[manureid]

Well at least we showed that with some more polish and intel from this game we're a good chance against Collingwood in the finals.

At the MCG where the noise of affirmation from 90k feral pies supporters will make the umpires job simple to dish out a reaming. I think not

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol we rested half our list to lose.

 

[Peking Power]

The Elliott mark looked in to me on the replay but who knows? Didn't feel to me that the umpiring favoured Collingwood. Goal-kicking is the thing we should be focusing on - it's been our Achilles' heel for 10 years.

 

[Adz2332]

All this talk about Evans how does McEntee escape criticism?
Evans was much better then McEntee

 

[gbear]

Boak needs to retire at the end of the season,

 

[QPower]

We had 26 scoring shots to 18.

They scored 17 times from their shots we scored 21 times.

That is the game: our inefficiency has been an issue all year and we have generally been good enough to win despite those issues.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

I'm by no means a Hinkley fan, but that was not a Hinkley style loss, some people are pointing fingers too quickly.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

We coughed it up with our inaccuracy but it's pretty clear who the better side is. A team with Evans and McEntee + Dixon, Lycett, Wines and Boak all but finished physically is just not going to be good enough.

We've been one of the most inaccurate goal kicking side for years. It's normal for us.

 

[edgie]

You guys are nuts it wasn't the same old s**t at all. Pressure was elite from both sides. Lessons aplenty before September.

It was similar.

Bad kicking.
Shitting the bed.
Umpire howlers.
The other team just walking goals in or getting their set shots while we need GOTY contenders, or Rioli to deck his opponent.

Disappointing to lose but hey, 2nd spot is our likely outcome either way.

This one puts some fire in the belly.

I’m not sure I can take more fire in the belly tbh, it’s getting a bit Groundhog Day ish

 

[Rising Power]

Umpires auditioning for finals. Either putting the whistle away or making 'brave' decisions. Can't do it consistently all year though, AFL needs time to change the interpretations each week

 

[gbear]

Where is the review thread?

 

[cosmicwinduptoy]

We had our opportunities, we didn't take them, and the last couple of years have shown Collingwood just find a way. We showed we're a chance

Lot of bed wetting in here. If we kick straight we win that easy. Bring on September.

 

[Capital Power]

According to afl.com we kicked 7.8 from 30-50m out, they kicked 9-2. No shortage of opportunity.

 

[Jonts]

The Elliott mark looked in to me on the replay but who knows? Didn't feel to me that the umpiring favoured Collingwood. Goal-kicking is the thing we should be focusing on - it's been our Achilles' heel for 10 years.

Who knows? The replay
He touched it inside the line it bubbled and then he marked it over the line

 

[Adz2332]

Boak needs to retire at the end of the season,

Yer because he's holding who out of the team?
