Game Day Port v Gold Coast at People First Stadium Gold Coast, Round 18 2024

[Frank Hansen II]

Disgusting gameplan, the inclusion of Dixon I was against before it involved getting Marshall out of the game through injury, and I really don't believe Ken has the ability to turn around mentality and make in-game changes required to win. We'll need the Robbie and Chad like momentum changers from Rozee, Butters and JHF.

P.s. Aliir continues to be one of the dumbest most telegraphing footballers running around.

 

[Portmagpies36]

They are going out of their way to lose. I swear.

There is a difference between making skill errors and just willingly bowling your teammates over or giving away free kicks and 50s for no reason that end up costing us goals.

If we were the Pakistani cricket side we would be investigated for match fixing.

[Ford Fairlane]

He Said Scully wasn’t ready. He couldn’t have been worse than the four pretenders playing tall forward today.

They look more stoned than everyone thinks Rioli is.

 

[afl2004]

Dixon still wanting to play sums up the hinkley era after 2014 , it's all "me,me,me , what do I want"

Dixon and hinkley should have both of there contracts ran out but no davies and cucksissi love thinking there top shit

 

[Duck Farmer]

Oh for ****s sake how stupid are our players

Something's gotta stick after listening to a moron for 12 years.

 

[Donuts_]

change of Defensive coach .. (Bassett to Goldsack)

What if Bassett is good now?

 

[Powerade 08]

Its just set up for JHF to win it and Kent Hinkley to take credit

We do this so often no one even blinks

 

[Windy Cindy]

Dixon can’t even run

Disgusting selection off the back of losing 7kgs..

how about selecting on form..

 

[Portmagpies36]

So maybe it's not all Ratugolea's fault

I would have played him up forward ahead of a 33 year old who hasn’t played for a month.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Dominating the stats including the 2 worst ones, turnovers and fumbles and bumbles.

How can you make so many fumbles on such a perfect day when the pressure isnt that high outside of the main pack area

Butters and Rozee did their bit. Mead too. JHF needs to ask himself quick smart what he wants to get out of this game. Come out breathing fire, attack the footy and be first to it at every contest and kick another three in the second half. Anything less and we have no hope because the other forwards are clueless.

the wrong coach was sacked this week.

the wrong coach was sacked this week.

Simpson not loved as much as Ken by the Victorian media mafia.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Plays like a scared kid.

An elite fumbler/panicker

Pointless giving him games

Give him a farewell game

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I'm a Narkle fan but he's blown so many opportunities going forward by taking his sweet ass time for Gold Coast to get numbers back.

That said it's a systemic issue, midfield to forward connection has been a failure for years and that is on Ken, Carr and Chad.

 

[Traveling_Power]

5AA are saying that JHF can be the game breaker in the 2nd half

 

[PJ Power]

I would have played him up forward ahead of a 33 year old who hasn’t played for a month.

It’s clear that Dixon simply can’t run. If they can’t work that out from three weeks training irrespective of weight loss, then they’ve got rocks in their heads.

 

[Windy Cindy]

The main observations here:

Butters and Rozee lifted big time.

Houston, Bergman, Evans and Farrell have done their best.

Narkle and Mead aside, the rest of our forwards are a joke. Georgiades and Rioli are clearly our best two forwards and without them, their teammates are woeful. Cornes has one job. To demand that they play in front the rest of the game. The playing from behind at every single contest is unforgiveable.

Agreed the sad thing is none of them lead.. narkle took a mark and needed Dixon to lead but the big log can’t get out of a gallop..

Not really surprised, as the whole organisation is full of dead wood atm!

 

[tribey]

What if Bassett is good now?

Replacing a defensive specialist with one of the bargain-basement blow-ins who keeps getting promoted by default was certainly a move.
