Game Day Round 4 - Port Adelaide v Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Friday 5/4/24, 8.10pm AEDST

[JayJ20]

Normally teams clean up the margin. Essendon stop trying as soon as it becomes too hard and the margin blows out.

Just a pathetic bottom 4 performance.

 

[FootyGuru]

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but on the strength of tonight and lookingforward to atvthe composition of our midfield, you could actually look at trading Hobbs.

We should have traded parish when we had the chance instead of giving him 6 years.

 

[Learntopray]

What club pays value to pick him up? Can't see him being heavily in demand.

I don't know what he does well.
What is go to?
He doesn't have the strength to bully kids like he did in juniors.

 

[mxett]

Feel like we needed this wake up call early in the season

would you really call this a wake up call? I think this is just where we are at

 

[Mootsy]

we're like deer in the headlights!

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Ah, normality.
I feel whole again.

 

[Happyskeret]

Swing the ******* axe next week Brad. Too many ******* useless campaigners getting gifted games.

Who the hell is coming in though? We got no depth!

 

[Call Me Cake]

At what point do you think they got ahead of themselves?

Probably three games in thinking the cobwebs of how we finished last year were gone. Nope. And dealing with a smashing earlier in the year makes it less likely that we'll continue being disillusioned. This is a reality check we needed as macabre as it sounds.

 

[Nifft]

At least our percentage will be back to where I’m used to seeing it…

 

[Mootsy]

Port have a great list, goodness me.

 

[yodellinhank]

JHF is a jet. Made stringer look small

I think Stringer lived an Elite AFL Lifestyle over the off season and had a great pre season. Didn't come back in his usual shape.

 

[Don_Gia]

I haven’t heard about “learnings” in a while…you reckon Scotty will trot it out at the presser lol

 

[wichidi]

Ah, normality.
I feel whole again.

Yes. The universe has realigned.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

We should have traded parish when we had the chance instead of giving him 6 years.

 

[rumply]

Port have a great list, goodness me.

Lucky Wines didn't play.

 

[ghostdog]

It’s a tough one, we need midfield depth but our frontline midfield is pretty pedestrian. Parish is the one I’ve wanted to move on for a while, he’d get the best return and and has the least points of difference or ability to play a second position.

...but he's just signed a 6 year contract. I don't think he moves at all.

 

[Happyskeret]

When Hind was running in then I could feel an Essington moment about to happen

Yep it’s totally his fault we are getting our arse kicked.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Nik Cox is ****ing useless.

 

[Nicholas61]

Where is the footy IQ

You have been pointing this out for a long time and it is true. But we don't really have a bunch of athletes either like Port have.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Hind has the worst brain in the AFL.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

We should have traded parish when we had the chance instead of giving him 6 years.

watch us do it to mcgrath next

 

[andleanback]

How many direct turnovers have we had in the forward half would have to be close to 30

 

[rumply]

Nik Cox is ******* useless.

Least of our problems

We dont have athletes or smart players

 

[Happyskeret]

Hind has the worst brain in the AFL.

Game was over before he came on. He is a fringe player. The least of our problems.
