Game Day Round 20: Essendon v Port Adelaide, Marvel Stadium, Sat August 3 2019, 1.45PM AEST

[rumply]

a flogging now & again is never a bad thing when you've been pinching wins you probably shouldn't have been.

Loose the rest of the games and we will miss out on percentage.

 

[brendan84]

Oh well, beer o’clock.

At least they are keeping Hinkley in a job

Comeback time

 

[thaibomber]

bulldogs next week..... sheesh. I hope Parish can get up. drop langford he's a dope, maybe give Trent mynot a run or even Myers, couldn't do worse than layabout longbody langford.

Is McGarth ever going to develop into a good player? McCluggage and Tarranto are so much better at the moment. Concerning.

He’s SOFT!! Has looked great in last quarters the last couple of weeks as the game opens up. Put him to a back pocket to rebound as his tackling or lack of is a real issue in the midfield

 

[Red Black and Blue]

When your ruckman is Zac Clarke and you have no clear KPF, Hooker is playing injured, Hurley isn't on the park at all, Francis has played like 50% game time today. If you count Stringer as a KPF then he looks off his game as well. Like our only best 22 KPP that's currently playing unimpeded is Patrick Ambrose...? And he's getting beat today.

Gown kicked 4 with a quarter to go. Maybe debut soon.

though early, i think we messed up here

Yeah nah, it’s been an effort thing. Haven’t shut down McKenna or Saad because they have barely attempted a run.

I think that's a disservice to Port Adelaide's team defence. Injuries haven't helped, two interstate trips and then a six day break is also an excuse, but the underlying reason we've lost is due to Port Adelaide playing their best football since the Showdown.

His tackling has been putrid at times this season.

We can't ask for a 5 goal win against Gold Coast, but we get thrashed at home by a team below us.

 

[thaibomber]

parish out was pretty much the end of it today.

Nah, there has been nothing convincing about our footy this year, winning games when you playing s**t is always good but i've seen nothing but us playing s**t all year

Disagree. McCluggage and Taranto are in decent systems. Ours has ultimately failed McGrath who was the best player available at #1. It's not the player, it's the club.

Certainly didn't help.

They have been okay but its like that kick from Guelfi there. Take the short options that are available. They aren’t pressuring him to kick long, that is just a stupid decision.

Why couldn't you play like that against us?
You know all we have to look fwd to these days is Port losing and being even worse than us.

This was coming

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Burned Stringer twice. Take the easy kick Guelfi. If you can’t hit that you don’t deserve to be out there.

we're an enigma, wrapped in riddle, wrapped in some horrible skills and decision-making...
