Game Day Brisbane v Port 2023 Qualifying Final

[Powerade 08]

Duursma.

Finals player

Yea, hes so much better every other week.

 

[PAFC66]

How shit is fox. Pumping up JHF. Do they know he's done for the year?

 

[Duck Farmer]

Forward line absolutely pus other than Lord and possibly McEntee.

Midfield absolutely has to lift. Lycett's a bollard but need more from Butters, Rozee, and JHF.

 

[Mr Experience]

Dixon in for Marshall/Finlayson next match

 

[Visenfest]

Sub Dursma his fumbling and turnovers are costing us

Yep he’s been shithouse.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Marshall must not be allowed to have a set shot by his teammates.

His right groin is stuffed and he slices - pushes the ball right as a result

Someone has to get their timing right and get a handball received from him.

 

[PAFC66]

There has to be some explanation of what Marshall’s kicking has fallen off a cliff. It can’t all be on his head.

Maybe a brain injury

 

[JUSTWORK]

Get Marshall playing around centre half forward and using his foot skills to pass it in to other guys. But he shouldn’t be taking the shots if he doesn’t have the confidence.

I agree, get him up the ground. Don’t want to be relying on him having another shot at goal.

Then out of the side.

 

[Coobk001]

We will NOT remain this efficient going inside 50. To have missed the chances we have will cost us the game.

The count of 33 to 17 I50, says it all. Game is not being played in our way. We have not been able to hold it in all night, we aren't making repeat entries. Our game style is being completely broken down because of the other key stat.

Clearances.

Our midfield is being destroyed. jHF, Butters, Wines. Well they've basically done zero, and in general our fumbly play in the contest is costing us massively.
I didn't even realise Farrell was playing until that quarter.
DBJ has been disgusting with his half hearted, lazy as **** efforts.

 

[PJ Power]

Reckon we gave it our best shot for about five minutes and came up short.

Make no mistake, this was lost in two areas:
1. Conversion from seasoned players, led by Todd Marshall

who will do well to ever recover mentally from this nightmare. One player cost us more than any other. No one can defend him tonight.
2. Our mids getting an absolute pantsing around the ball when it mattered. To be out scored by four goals from stoppage says all you need to know about how much Butters and friends have had their colours lowered. Our wings have been killed by Fletcher especially. Duursma the main offender. Other than five minutes from Rozee and Drew up until his horrendous ball handling mistake (that killed our momentum), no other mid has been up to it. Horne-Francis is playing a huff-puff game that unfortunately has amounted to negative value by getting caught so often and not defending at stoppage. Butters has been beaten point blank at several ground ball contests. Our HBs have been incapable of defending stoppage.

The one and only positive is Lord.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Duursma.

Finals player

Again, thought duursma has been terrible, has cost us like 2-3 goals.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Thought Lycett has been terrible

5 disposals 21 hitouts 7 tackles.

I know it's fashionable to hate on Scott around here but he has been a warrior tonight.

 

[philthy05]

Field kicking horrendous.


Turnovers horrendous



Leaving brissie players open

 

[shewho]

Poor kicking for goal the reason every final this weekend has been lost. We are keeping that going.

This. This performance is mostly on our midfield with a large slice of help from Marshall, SPP and Finlayson.

 

[Winganeen]

Then why is he out there?

Because he is still offering more than Jez, let alone the other candidates.

 

[Mr Experience]

Drew has done a great job on Neale so far

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I dont want to hear Sweet Caroline, Frozen or bloody Country Road again tonight.

 

[PJ Power]

Since when ?

Nah. Just not good enough so far.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

5 disposals 21 hitouts 7 tackles.

His hit out have been bad. 40% disposal efficiency, tackles okays that’s it. He has been bad

 

[Ah12]

Allowing them the spare defender is insanity considering how short we are up forward. Please go man on man in the 2nd half.

 

[Powerade 08]

How s**t is fox. Pumping up JHF. Do they know he's done for the year?

Suck a log out my ass and stop making up/barracking for injuries every week

 

[PortPortPort]

Inaccuracy i ****ing hate Inaccuracy.

 

[PJ Power]

Drew has done a great job on Neale so far

Absolutely, but that fumble on the wing changed the game. Rozee was flying up to that point and had single handedly turned it in our favour. Wines dished out a perfect handball to Drew who muffed it. It killed us.

 

[philthy05]

Well why's he playing

Cause every other kf is also injured (Dixon / Georgiades) and Todd can still impact the game taking marks and drawing a defender.
