Game Day Showdown 45

[NEGAN]

We should have won, but if we did we would have pinched it. They were clearly the better team.

12th clearly better than a team fighting for a spot in the top 4? Yep.

We could finish 12th too though...we are every chance ...lol

 

[finbarr]

Pretty much every disposal was crap

He has no composure whatsoever. Those blind hoik’s around his body to a nest of crows is under 7’s stuff. Sick of the sight of the dickhead.

 

[Magus]

Pittard is an absolute horror show. Please just go.

In our last two home games, his kicks have been directly responsible for about 5 goals, no exaggeration. I dont ever want to see him in the chevrons ever again.

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

And yet it was a year where they stunk and we were generally pretty good.

We just can’t allow ourselves to dominate them can we?

In their good years they murder us.

We completely lack killer spirit.

This & plenty of this. I can’t work this fukn team out. I’ve played competitive sports most of my life & I played mongrel every god damn game. Hate !! Hate & kill would run through my veins & hey we won a hell of a lot more than we lost. Wines is tough but faark he lacks so much mongrel!!! Livid

 

[Peck]

Well, it was their grand final.

Think of all the false hope they have now.

Can you please just tear up whatever level of Port membership you have and buy a crows one? Just get it over with.

Well, that's Port under Hinkley.

But.

As with the Carlton 2015 fiasco our shitness does not justify what was a horrifically bad decision that directly cost us the game.

We've proven the last month we aren't close to being a top 4 side. pains me to say it but clear us day.

Close to the hardest run home will be testing. We will be seventh at the end of the round and likely finish the year in 8th a real chance of dropping out of the 8. Pathetic.

Hartlett and Broadbent out the whole season and Pittard has just lost it.

I’m not sure we have anyone better to bring in though?

 

[PA88]

Hinkley just can't take us to the next level.

The number of close losses we've had with him is unnatural.

 

[Portology]

I tell ya what wasn't and the reason why we lost this game and blown top 4 and possibly finals was our so called captain in waiting missing from 10m out. Absolutely disgraceful and that's why we lost the game. This side doesn't deserve to make the 8.

No one “deserves” to make the eight. They earn it.

We’re specialists at squandering things we’ve earned but that’s a long way from what you’re saying.

I think Wines is the sort of bloke to learn from that poor decision made under no pressure.

Hav not read any of this thread yet so these are my thoughts. Crows deserved the win. Huddo should never commentate again. Total bias fker. Other commentators very fair.

There are too many players in this team who are not prepared to work hard enough, scrap hard enough and put their reputations on the line. They are hiders. We need to get rid of them. And I'm talking about some senior players. Pittard was pathetic. Should not play another game for us. Watts work rate is so poor it cost us numerous times, drop. Hombsch was really bad. Motlop was really bad. Hav not looked at stats and dont care, all 4 were pathetic. Westhoff did not play with anywhere near enough intent. Lifting in last qtr not good enough.

Boak was fantastic. Dix was fantastic. Chasing and ground work brilliant. So many didnt follow his example. He should be pissed. Pepper tackled like he meant it, one of the few who did. Wines great early but what happened later. Wingard and Gray classy.

This team is going nowhere in finals.

I agree, I am not confident we will stay in the 8

 

[jack_black16]

If you finish top 4 you are a top 4 side. Goal umpire makes the right call there and we are in the top 4 with three games to go.

Instead we're staring down the brink of not making finals at all now.

It's what we deserve unfortunately.

 

[tribey]

Huddo should never commentate again. Total bias fker.

Lol what?

Is a Geelong man yet has commentated some of their most heartbreaking losses like he had money on the winning team.

 

[Coobk001]

Didn’t even go between the goalposts Cookie.

View attachment 537864

? That shows the ball in front of the post, which means it went through the goals.

 

[Coobk001]

People who are asking whether the ball hit the post or not seem to be missing the entire point - I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.

You could clearly see the ball in front of the post. A ball moving right to left towards the behinds can never be in front of the post if it has gone through the goals. It's literally a physical impossibility.

It went from left to right. From the points to the goal side. Far out.

 

[Skindy]

So many dumb decisions in our back half. Whether it was dumb handball gives to players under pressure or hack kicks when there was little pressure on we just invited the crows to camp in our front half which led to the skewed inside 50 count. If that's how the team holds up in a pressure game then we were doing nothing in finals anyway

 

[Portwon]

Well that game sums up both teams.over the journey.

Ports teasing but failing under expectation and the cows.....

Winning by a decision made by faceless men in a room trying to * Port Adelaide.

 

[PAFC66]

Hinkley just can't take us to the next level.

Yep. Fail.

 

[NickFlips]

Regardless of that bollocks we cost ourselves the game

-60 in disposals
-10 in clearances
-22 in inside 50's
-18 tackles
-17 contested possession

In a cruel twist it was our efficiency that kept us in it

 

[PAFC66]

Goal umpire called a goal but wanted to check to see if it hit the post.

How can Jenkins see it and the goal umpire can't? Why did it take 10 seconds to review it? If Ken doesn't argue that he can *off.

 

[finbarr]

How was Squibs left to run around like an unregistered dog?

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

Pittard is an absolute horror show. Please just go.

Do we have replacements right now ? Reminds me of a bunny in spotlights. Trade or delist & while we are at it trade Hinkley !!

 

[Contested Marx]

A bit harsh maaaate.

Not you PB the other PB
