Game Day Round 7 - Port Adelaide V Collingwood - Marvel Stadium

[OneGreatClub]

Ah well. Never expected we’d win this one. I reckon the occassion got to our young captain. I know he would have wanted to do his best for Boak.

 

[PAFC66]

Would kill to have a Pendlebury type player in this side.

 

[Andre]

It lasted last week when the coach wanted to ignore the pathetic finish.

Ken Hinkley is going to be the first person to get his picture in the Oxford Dictionary next to Déjà Vu.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Don’t you wish it was just one?

No. If it was a nightmare, I'd be waking up now after a shitty nights sleep. Instead I have a potential good night's sleep ahead of me to lighten the day.

 

[PJ Power]

Let’s give credit to the players who showed something tonight:

1. Houston - Mr Reliable lifted big time after quarter time
2. Burton - thought he was resilient, tough and classy; showed a couple of his fellow defenders up big time
3. SPP - effort, effort, effort
4. Boak - ok, fumbled from the outset, but on a night when many players were genuinely SOFT and TIMID in their effort and workrate, Boak worked his butt off. Thanks skipper
5. Rozee - the best of the kids by a mile now. Did a lot right
6. Duursma - had some shockers, but could not be accused of taking short steps (like Amon). Worked tirelessly. Proud of him.

Go **** yourself campaigner. I’m as critical as any so who the **** are you to tell me I give this club a free pass. ******.

Name: Killer Power
Location: Dungeon

I retract all my comments.

 

[finbarr]

Having watched the deterioration of Oliver Wines since he burst onto the scene in 2013, it's going to be so sad watching the same happen to Connor Rozee under Hinkley.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

I will have some of what your on.

Just beer

 

[ozph1870]

The more i think about it, this mob should never wear the bars, at least I have great memories of Port sides in that jumper.

Yeah we got smashed by sides in the prison bars too..
Every port adelaide player deserves to wear the bars

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol Dermie just slayed DBJ.

"That's the worst defensive game I've ever seen. Hes old enough to know better. Shouldn't hold his spot."

 

[Us against the rest]

Would kill to have a Pendlebury type player in this side.

Why, Ken would have him playing Hinkley ball quick smart.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Sad to see Ollie slowly turn into Lance Whitnall

 

[rogerjames]

Ollie Wines with 19 handballs lol

To the opposition just like last week. So much fun.

 

[PJ Power]

Would kill to have a Pendlebury type player in this side.

Rozee might be that player. It’s a shame Butters isn’t a bigger size

 

[FishingRick04]

We could obviously drop 16 players tonight. I agree we must have overwhelmed the playing group for Blake 250 because they sank faster than the titanic. This team hasn’t been that bad all year. Schofield second whipping this year Richmond and now Collingwood.

Please step up against the Crows.

Both Ricks should be on notice, especially Ryder, Sam Gray again doesn’t deliver under pressure. Amon same, Lienert only good as 4th back up. Bonner and Burton listless.

I wish we had the courage to play Frampton, we needed that tall leading strong forward who likes to punch people.

 

[Portwon]

Weirdly not as angry as last week.

Perversely entertaining game.

Did everything we could to get back into the game and then screwed the pooch.

Good or bad game win or loss we have so many players with bad skills so many players poor one on one hasn't changed in 5 years.

We have some shoots of hope but it is a fair (and new coach I think) way away.

 

[PJ Power]

To the opposition just like last week. So much fun.

He had 9 kicks, with 11% kicking efficiency: 1 kick was effective

 

[Portology]

I am now convinced we can play for only three quarters. That makes us three-quarters of a team.

There are a bunch of pluses and minuses but when you add it all up a “three quarter team” is only a third quadrant team: about 9th-11th, with a ceiling of 1 “against the odds” finals win and a floor well above bottom four.

Players and assistants have been chopped and changed relentlessly throughout this regime. Our senior players rarely all fire at once. Our kids are alright to bloody good and on the up. We have a standard set of “low-ceilinged frustrators” up front and down back.

There’s only one major factor left to adjust really.

Just beer

That should do the trick.

 

[afl2004]

Everyone with a 1-39 margin bet just breathed a sigh of relief.

I had 40

 

[1954]

there's some rubbish out there on the ground
a **** load is due to Wines

he is fair game

Wines is absolutely fair game, if he played for the mob down the road the over rated comments would be thrown around on here like confetti at a wedding, you get what you deserve!

 

[Magus]

Lol Dermie just slayed DBJ.

"That's the worst defensive game I've ever seen. Hes old enough to know better. Shouldn't hold his spot."

Rock up late to training = you're outta here
Play badly for weeks on end = back him in

DBJ is the new Pittard.

 

[PJ Power]

So what would we have lost anything by putting Frampton in ahead of Amon?

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Boak...on 5aa
Quit the ******* bs.
Grow a pair.
SOUNDS HAPPYISH...GIGGLING..

 

[Waspy79]

That's how he's always played his football. We have fantastic handball players in our midfield and that's it.

No we don’t.
