Review Elimination Final vs WC - Review

[chiwigi]

If only Dixon hadn't pushed the player into the post he would have rushed a behind!

Proper sliding doors!

 

[Magpiespower]

No more bitchin' about bets. According to Nafan Brown, some dude whacked a cool half-mill on us last night. Imagine being that poor bastard watching Shuey's million-dollar kick...

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Where are all the people who called hamish hartlett soft at?

Hamish has never been soft it's a myth peddled by deadheads

 

[Needs Gravy]

Should we offer Priddis a 2018 contract? Cotton wool for 23 rounds and then unleash the curls?

Don't think Ken knows who he is, never seems to do anything about stopping his influence.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Actually, it does.

No it doesn't, shrugging off a tackle is part of playing the game and so is sticking a proper tackle. May aswell count every behind as a goal then because the goal posts are placed too narrow and therefore forces some kicks to be behinds which might hurt the players and supporters feelings

Can imagine how shit you would be feeling but just need to suck it up

 

[chiwigi]

Nice try Champ
To play the best at years end you have to have at least beaten the best during the year...you failed
You smashed us, but beating bottom 4 teams wont win you a premiership will it?
Always next year camp

You are Carlton for ****s sake.

Not when the rule was changed this year to prevent that exact type of free.

Can't argue with that in general and tbh it shouldn't have mattered but when independent players like Jordan Lewis are openly saying its what the players were told was not a free kick it was a mistake not a howler but still wrong

 

[Duck Farmer]

Playing a useless incompetent Impey over Trengove is the most incompetent, pathetic, brain dead selection I have seen a Port Adelaide coach make in over 40 years of watching Port Adelaide play. It made playing Lonie for two years look like a master stroke by Choco.

This x infinity.

Impey's incompetence has locked in Jacko exiting the club

 

[Duck Farmer]

could it be possible that Jacko has given the coaching staff a verbal 'what for' and they are keeping him out of the team due to something which isn't in the public arena?

Imagine being told that you're being kept out of a final because we're calling up Impey. I'm surprised Jacko didn't raze Alberton to a pile of smouldering ashes when selections were announced.

 

[simmo_bc]

Hamish has never been soft it's a myth peddled by deadheads

Absolutely spot on.

Our criticism with Hamish is that he has more talent in his little finger than most AFL players have in total.

Just on Hamish, I think he has had a very solid year and is ready for a big 2018.

It's not Impey's fault that Ken keeps picking him because he's too invested in his self image of being a drafting wizard by trading our first rounder while still getting the man we wanted all along.

Geez that performance by Impey was very bad ..
I still cant understand why Aidyn Johnson was dropped. At least he would have given us something...

 

[pastmyprimus]

We need a revamp of our so called leadership group. How of many of them stood up when it counted last night. Certainly not Jonas. He was watching the game on the sidelines because of suspension.

Some of our kids are more deserving to be part of that group.

No it doesn't, shrugging off a tackle is part of playing the game and so is sticking a proper tackle.

the rule is if the player turns a legal tackling into high contact by raising their arm, it's not a free kick. Rules against high contact are to protect player welfare, not to be manipulated by players to get a free possession. Not saying you shouldn't try to break a tackle, but if you manufacture high contact by doing it don't expect to be rewarded

Classic Selwood play that and the afl need to stamp it out. Start paying a free against the players that do it and watch it stop

Note: that decision is not the reason we lost

Impey had a shocker, no one would doubt that. But to say that the selection of Impey over Trengove is the difference between Trengove staying or going? That is a little to the extreme and something I would vehemently disagree with.

Jesus H they changed the rules on this at the beginning of the season to stop this exact thing from being paid. It specifically mentions shrugs, arm raises, ducking etc.

We cost ourselves the game by not kicking straight but that decision was objectively wrong according to the AFL's own definition.

 

[Port01]

What's with the poor starts lately anyway? 1 or 2 goals in every first quarter since the north game, that's about 6 or 7 games since we could manage 3 first quarter goals.

Its the final nail in the coffin.

Jacko playing, stops McGoven taking so many of those intercept marks, goes into ruck as Ryder is getting nullified and mixes things up, maybe Ryder takes a mark or two in the forward line and kicks a goal, or he goes down back and sits on Petrie for awhile and we win by 2pts and not lose by 2 pts, he gets another game in the SF and plays well in that and his bargaining position changes significantly compared to what it is today.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Darcy had a flat spot in the season but Ken continued to pick him and he repaid his faith. I thought he was good last night.

Impey's pretty much pissed on the faith Ken's shown him

The coffin was shut a while ago mate. To believe otherwise would have been holding on to false hope more than anything.

 

[Pedro59]

Don't think it's been mentioned yet but for all of the criticism Jake Neade cops, his record in finals is outstanding. That counts for something I reckon.

Love Jakey
Hopefully regular next year

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Not it my world. If you believe playing LIMs in a final against a side that always plays lots of tall backs against us at Adelaide Oval and beats us every time was the correct way to go then of course you would think that way.

 

[Capital Power]

Just watched the "last 2 minutes" video the club so thoughtfully put up on the website for those of us who can never have too much misery. At the same time I read the club isn't going to seek an explanation for "that" free kick. On replay it is a disgrace, I can only assume the umpire didn't see the lifted arm - specifically the case the AFL had said would no longer draw a free kick.

Is it worth looking at the idea that umpires can send decisions like that upstairs if they are unsighted? Or a fourth umpire can overrule on video? Either way it's time to at least acknowledge that we don't accept everything that is thrown at us.

That said, if Wingard sends either of his two last minute kicks into Port hands, we win. C'est la vie....
