Review Fremantle vs Port Adelaide - Trial Match 2 @ Fremantle

[Ford Fairlane]

It's a disappointing night when the only excitement was watching Francis Evans liven up the game in the last quarter.

Youse don’t realise games aren’t won by kicking a higher score

The most connected connection connectatron of community proudness is what matters

Remember footy is “the most important of the unimportant things”

We are ****ing shit forget the 8 it’s bottom 6 for us peeps

 

[Powerade 08]

He’s worth every bit of what we paid

Only if we can keep him interested. I rekon his career is a write-off if Hinkley stays.

 

[Jojay]

We look fat and unfit.

It's like a rinse and repeat from last year

You might finally be able to get a good price on Ports for R1.

I've taken it immediately.

 

[Doctor Feel]

We've got 22 rounds of dead man walking and the players not giving a s**t because they know it to look forward to.

All thanks to Koch not being able to make a decision if his life depended on it.

A ****ing buffoon with absolutely no finger on the pulse.

 

[JimmyBC]

That’s easy to say during the preseason, different story if we go 0-5 again.

I believe we'll sit on our hands as usual it's in the DNA now.

 

[elsler]

should have taken 40+ for $8

 

[Byrons Firen]

EMBARRASSING. The game might've meant nothing but it prooves we've learnt nothing. Our coach can't coach our lead ruck can't ruck

Dixon's an underwhelming try hard oaf, Georgie Boi would struggle with revolving doors and our skipper's a klutz.

Wines atm a liability my highlights were Frank the Tank, Bergman and JHF if the umps would let him play.

 

[I Dont Care]

He wasn’t that great in the end.

I didn't watch the last. Like pulling teeth

 

[Portmagpies36]

No momentum heading into Rd 1...

Meanwhile Brisbane are hammering Geelong…..

 

[Hammer#8]

wHeRe ArE tHe HiNkLeY hAtErS nOw?!

 

[elsler]

my highlight was watching the umpires let 2 players clearly inside the protected zone get the ball and score

The reality is, we've moved the team around through the middle like crazy all day. They've played their main side in position most of the day. So there is an element of that. However regardless of all that, their defence has SMASHED us, and our defence has looked absolutely lost Vs them. They score so easy, we make it look crazy tough. These areas have remained largely unchanged and are just showing we have huge structural issues.

This. So much this. How is it that we always make it so difficult for ourselves whilst still opening ourselves up the other way

 

[PJ Power]

Just a disorganised mess, our tackling was horrible, our skill level and decision making horrible. Thought Bergman, Rozee, Houston our best.

Agree except that Houston was pretty poor.

I will say it for the 100th time, you don’t change you don’t get better

 

[Coobk001]

Freo will actually be good this year I think.

They've clearly gone past us.

 

[glitch01]

Some guy posted yesterday that we were all whingers and should be more positive......
Not seeing much to be enthused about today, in fact I'm pretty positive we looked less likely to score goals than last year!!

 

[AdamMarrett]

Here's the facts of this season before anything else, this senior group was mentally shot after the preliminary final defeat in 2021, they'd had their golden two chances at the ultimate then and in 2020, they fell short. The time to makes calls on players was post that loss if we were to rebuild and fire again quickly. We haven't done that, we've backed the same coach, with the same gameplan that fails in big moments in 2022 & again this year. We aren't as good as the top 8 sides from last year, I think a fair few of them and add Richmond are well past us. It's obvious on the two performances and intra club so far.

This year is a rebuilding year, nothing more in my opinion and I'm treating it as such. If JHF develops on what he's shown so far that will be a positive, ditto Rozee continuing his rise, Butters, Marshall, Mitch and others also.

Outside of that it will be a long season I think not much higher then 10th at best for me. Not expecting anything else outside of that. If Hinkley goes and the kids develop that'll do for me.

 

[GoPorts]

its refreshing to listen to Tredders crap on the team, someone calling out the crap is long overdue.

Where is he commentating?

 

[Portmagpies36]

I feel bad for Carr having to take over this stinking pile of s**t Donuts has left him

Surely we have our sights set on someone bigger than Josh Carr

 

[FourthTimeAround]

Coincidentally, the same score that Willaston beat Nuri to make the 2021 Barossa GF.
As well as the exact score in the Allies inaugural match against WA, also in Perth.

Is it round 1 yet?

 

[Ah12]

6 marks inside 50 from 58 entries. That has to be some sort of record, im sure of which we already hold
