Review Round 5, 2020 vs Brisbane

[Marmozet]

This was only a matter of time, wasn’t it, Kane Cornes?

 

[Visenfest]

Our rebuild isn't even close to done.

 

[StuMan]

 

[klem22]

We have gone nowhere cain kornes absolutely no where!

 

[philreich]

Exposed big time tonight - admittedly by a bloody good team.

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Butters is the only player who deserves to milk his breakfast tomorrow. All the other players can hang their heads in shame and eat their Weetbix dry.

He was the only player with heart today. He played like he could skin two cats at once.

* Ken Hinkley. Sack Ken Hinkley.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

 

[blaargh]

Well, an opportunity arises for the 2019 draft.

bonner, farrell should be watching their backs this week.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Butters, Boak, Houston. Hold your heads high lads. THE REST, ON NOTICE!

 

[finbarr]

Daniel Rich's arms are so little he can easily get his arms free when tackled.

 

[Dav]

I'm just a bit numb really. I never want to be so negative that I can't enjoy a good run of form but we're just so psychologically fragile that you know it will crash down violently at some stage.

 

[simba_]

Too much smiling at training this week

 

[Moo87]

Should’ve brought in Sutcliffe

 

[StuMan]

 

[Ant Bear]

Boak the only one with inner steel. Butters didn't disgrace himself.

Failure to recognise that Brisbane don't kick to forward contests. They kick to space and use their pace. We needed to fill those spaces.

In contrast, we returned to bombing the ball on top of our forwards. Charlie had no chance, competing against a stampede.

Absolute epidemic of broken tackles. Not just that, but too often we let a Brisbane player get their hands free in a tackle and break a line. We need to get better; we've been better than that in 2020.

We took 3 steps backwards tonight.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Can we give up on this Bonner experiment, he ******* sucks

 

[MotlopRules]

Our choking under pressure is psychological. It comes from the top.

We can change the players, we can change assistants, we can change the game plan, the guernsey, the bloody club song.

But nothing will change until we change the coach.

Sack Hinkley.

 

[JimmyBC]

Nothings changed rinse repeat

 

[Winganeen]

Won't be popular around here..... But we're not far off it.


They were hacking out of the air and finding blokes on the chest 30 out.

They weren't far from their best, that'd be close to our worst.

 

[Iwish]

Outclassed hopefully we can rebound. Brisbane a good side but lucky with the fixture to date.
And is there any chance robbie can get a free kick before he retires?

 

[RangaInTeal]

Macca19 this s**t is on you!

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

Can we give up on this Bonner experiment, he ******* sucks

Tonight isn't on him, but yeah, he's not a player. But ken put 80 odd games into Neade so he's here to stay probably

 

[tangolikelama]

Boak & Butters

Everyone else

 

[Port85]

Well that game had a bit of everything we knew was a Port weakness.

1. Killed at centre bounces getting the ball in quick exposing our tall (lack of) defence.

2. A reasonable first quarter where we kicked alot of points due to most of our shots being under high pressure because we couldn't spot up targets I side 50

3. A singularly really bad quarter to go with some mediocre to ok quarters

4. The propensity for our midfield to go missing

Nothing has really changed, we might play more good footy for longer as the season goes on and the experience grows but the good teams will expose us in the same way, repeatedly.

 

[Troopsy]

The thing that shits me is that if even if we lost by say 18 points or less (give or take), it would be a case of ‘ok, we lost but we took it up to Brisbane who have been comfortably home for the past month, and our premiership credentials would be still be okayish.

This shows we are only a slightly better version of 2019. Still not good enough.
