Review Round 20 vs Adelaide

[Marmozet]

Heartbreaking, but we were our own worst enemy with some very ordinary decision making.

Huge ramifications for this one.

 

[Troopsy]

While we let ourselves down, we were honestly robbed. And I almost never say that.

 

[Schulzenfest]

The worst 50 metre penalty of all time and a winning goal that wasn't a goal. Yet again we get utterly cheated out of a win.

 

[NickFlips]

Robbed

 

[Peck]

Think we played well, unlucky at the death that Ollie misses a sitter and the highway robbery that was that review.

All you can do is throw your hands up in the air and say “well *”

We really needed that one honestly, but if we beat WCE and Collingwood we could still be OK. Gonna be very difficult to back it up against the Eagles though.

This.

 

[Andre]

The biggest lie in the SA sporting landscape is both sides get themselves up for these games. It’s bullshit. Port has won once by 40+ since 2001, where as Adelaide has destroyed us multiple times in that period.

4th v 12th shouldn’t have been a contest, but Adelaide always rises for Showdowns where as we don’t (even the ones we win). When was the last time a Port showdown win would be amongst the best of the year (if it was against another opponent you’d call it one)?

 

[Power Raid]

September action is no longer likely despite a pretty decent performance

Pittard, Homsch and Bonner all nightmares with the footy
Rockcliff too easily beaten on occasions
Ollie with his SPray impersonation

The biggest difference between the sides was the crows willingness to work off the ball

 

[Marmozet]

How’s the crowd booing Robbie Gray, especially after his previous cancer scare?

Stay classy.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Congrats to whichever mod deleted my thread for no reason. Glad to see that Wines’ kicking is in fact up to standard.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Fact.... If Ollie kicks simple goal from 20m out we win game. The moment he missed we knew what was to come.

 

[Peck]

Stay classy.

The crowd was booing Travis Boak FFS. Pure idiocy.

 

[Jonts]

I'm not that annoyed
when there was a horrible set shot missed, a horrible review was the difference

hombsch not for a while

 

[GremioPower]

We had the game TWICE on our hands in Q4, but we fumbled it. Full story.

I need to digest this further before getting into details, but the plot is simple: we were given the chance to win TWICE in the last quarter, but we blew it both times.

 

[spookism]

The actual best Showdown in a long time, ruined in the last minute...

 

[Peck]

Fact.... If Ollie kicks simple goal from 20m out we win game. The moment he missed we knew what was to come.

FACT if the goal review makes a simple decision with 2 minutes left we win.

 

[Andre]

The decisions at the end were s**t, but like Carlton times 2 and numerous other games, we should never have been letting them in a position that could happen. We had the first two goals of the quarter and more rotations up our sleeves. To let Adelaide run over us is the side yet again panicking away a close game at the death.

 

[KenOath]

The worst 50 metre penalty of all time and a winning goal that wasn't a goal. Yet again we get utterly cheated out of a win.

All true, but again we failed to extend the margin beyond 2-3 goals when we had multiple chances to put it beyond doubt/BS umpiring.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Sad reality for me is that Ryder and Jonas may be cooked for the season.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The actual best Showdown in a long time, ruined in the last minute...

A long time? What do you call Rd 8 showdown?

 

[Power Raid]

Onwards and upwards though for 2019

Lienart has been good and probably replaces Pittard
Farrell demonstrates the value of having a shot
We need to test out Frampton and others before the year is through

not making the 8 will also force the review on the coaches box

 

[Capital Power]

So we have three more years of being outcoached, and five of Ollie's goal kicking?

If we could actually have a kickin to advantage (is that a stat?) occasionally, we wouldn't look like such a cluster**** in D50.

 

[powerpowerpower]

Jenkins.......again!!! Sick of seeing him in showdowns

 

[raptalia]

That is about it for this year. We should have been that far in front that umpiring didn't come into it. We will struggle to make the eight from here. Let's stop making excuses and look at where the real blame lies.

This is unfortunately Port Adelaide under Hinkley. We get a foot on the throat and instead of applying the pressure and crushing the opposition we go ‘ha! just kidding, stand up and you get a free swing at me whilst I hold my hands behind my back’.
