Review Port overcome Dogs 86 - 69

[Mutt]

I don't get supporters who pot the players - they gave their all. Blame lies elsewhere.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Our injuries.

Keath, Tim, Bont back next week.

Lose TOB, Weightman, maybe Gards & VDM.

How does this keep happening?

 

[Doggies_13]

Oh well you know your supporter base is low when they make Collingwood supporters look like the higher end of society

 

[Hutchymundo]

Bevo’s arrogance at an all time high tonight, even before the injuries hit. He really does out smart himself a lot tonight was a prime example, pretty much put a line through this season, pathetic

Wonder how long it will take the media to realise that West Coast aren’t the only club with injuries at the moment.

Regardless though, plenty of players well under the best at the moment, would be dropped in normal circumstances.

 

[DognBones]

We went into the game undermanned and ended it very undermanned.

Coaches? Shit selection, shit game plan?
conditioning staff? Soft tissue injuries non stop at training, team can’t run out a full game.
Football department? picking shit coaches with no experience
Our invisible President and CEO?

I can’t figure out who to blame.

Probably lose Dunks as well

 

[WAbulldog]

Excuse me while I go cry in a corner.

 

[Al dente]

good effort under the circumstances, terrible luck with injuries.

Three of those four injuries are soft tissue too (although VDM always does hammys). On the back of Keath and English also doing soft tissue, I hope we are asking questions

I just don't know with Beveridge.

Weird 'battler' players. Bailey Williams up forward.

I mentioned it in the game thread but our strength and conditioning has been shit for years. So many soft tissue injuries already this year.

Keath and Vandermeer constantly re-injuring upon return. McLean ACL last year right after his ACL return.

 

[NBates]

I'm really rapt. They did the best they could. Players, coaches, etc. I'm satisfied that's all this club can expect to achieve and I ask for no more.

 

[Golden_6]

We have to ask some question of our medical staff? The same players are doing the same injuries. Keath, JJ, VDM, O’Brien this year alone. All best 22 players.

 

[iambrilliant]

Isafe to say we won’t be playing finals

 

[dergert]

We're never going to see a Keath, Gardy and TOB backline.

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Very undermanned and they did try but geez we look slow and toothless tbh.
Nothing looks right, the connection is definitely off and we look really easy to score against.
Very disappointed with everything that’s been dished up on field in 2022 and Bevo looks to have lost his way if I’m honest.
Fitness and injury management off field don’t look to be good enough too.

 

[Doggies_13]

Injuries

Lack of depth

Players out of form

A coach that has lost the plot

And home town umpiring

Naughton was great, Richards is having a solid year, rest of this game meh

 

[GreatSouthWest]

We'll always have Paris.

 

[dergert]

Our season is practically over, we're going to have to gut the side to fill the injuries. At least we will get to see Cleary and West.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Not overly concerned with that loss itself. Massive outs forcing us to rely on VFL quality players, combined with some of the worst officiating I've seen in years. Still yet to see any hint of forward line game plan that isn't just bomb it long and hope, can't see things improving at least until Bruce comes back (even then, who knows). The injuries are the main concern though. Getting close to curtains on this season

 

[Claudonious]

I disagree - too many players out , plus game day injuries. More than happy with the effort

We look lost, inept and without leadership. Whatever system we have just isn't working, we have great players looking ordinary out there. We are the easiest team in the game to play against atm. Opposition know that a single contested possession to an outside runner and its a shot on goal.

I just hope it doesnt take us another 5 years to work it out. I'm worried.

 

[puppaC]

Has there ever been a coach that has made a grand final twice and not made the finals the next season twice?
