Review GBU: Jordan Dawson sinks Port Adelaide after the siren

[Mr_Moogle]

I refuse to sleep tonight. Replay on repeat.

I had some mates show up but they've left. I can go back to making some gifs.

 

[Betts are off]

OMG, the Pear are playing the Demons next week, they're staring down the barrel of a winless month to kick off the year.

Love it

The Good

• The look on Ken's face
• The look on Travis's face
• The look on Kochie's face
• The value of Port's future second round pick, traded to West Coast along with pick 14 for Pick 12, Josh Sinn, who couldn't get near it in the magoos
• Jordan Dawson putting Ken out of a job
• But seriously, even before the kick Dawson was just so clearly our best player. It's almost depressing how big the game is to the next best. A class above
• Maybe we should have a scout watching Brisbane's reserves every week. How didn't Hinge make it there? He's no world beater, but he's a top 10-15 player on this team. Does a lot right
• His worst game yet, but Josh was still impactful. Just needs to get the hands cleaner in the big moments and he'll be unstoppable
• Gollant is good. Will have some disappearing acts, but a welcome surprise how impactful he is and that he effectively is playing structurally as a key forward means we don't need to play more than 1-2 of, TT, Fog, Tex & Walker
• Harry's back
• I still think Elliot is on borrowed time, but good on him for having a crack tonight
• I think Billy is better than Murray in that role. Serviceable for now.
• Did Murph know he didn't have the legs and mayo that injury? If so, what a 1%er

The Bad

• Chayce just doesn't have it. Time to cut the cord and have a spell in the magoos
• Pedantic, but jeez it'd be nice if Ned stopped giving away overeager frees
• Fog offering absolutely zero value. If he's not kicking 3.0, he's not on the field
• One paced midfield again. Three accumulators with low hurt factor playing in the same rotation is painful. Need some balance and a point of difference
• On that, if Matt Crouch never played a game for us again I'd be happy. That Willem Drew goal was enough. If he's not getting a cheapie, his man's doing a lot more. No hurt factor, no accountability and worst of all, his lack of athleticism/effort/pressure on defence just makes it so easy for the opposition to move the ball out of the middle.

The Ugly
- Dawson putting Ken out of a job means they may have a better coach next time. I don't like that for us.

Superb piece mate. First class

What a ******* muppet

Didn't seem that bothered in the presser either.

 

[WetCrow1991]

This was me to all the Port fans near me that had been cheering the 50 metre penalties and free kicks we had paid against us throughout the game.

 

[TrainRoo32]

Friday Night Showdown….. absolutely lovely

 

[texanmike]

This win is going to give not only Jordy an insane amount of confidence but the whole squad, thank you Jordan Dawson

Some on the Poo board are [paraphrasing] worried about having to dig out the tarps again.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Dawson should have dedicated the win to Ebert.

 

[WetCrow1991]

The free was for high contact. There was no high contact.

Murphy just very good at making it look like high contact in real time.

That was the best part. I couldn’t give one flying fu** if it was there or not.

True, but then again you can't just take out blokes when they don't have the ball either so it should have been a free regardless. Murphy's performance sealed it though, justice was served.

I had some mates show up but they've left. I can go back to making some gifs.

Two requests,

1.The Himmelberg handball that hits ROB'S back
2.SPP coming in off the square cleaning up Butters

Celine Dion makes everything even better!!

[ams4crows]

Amongst the fans, people went crazy just lost their minds with joy

 

[WetCrow1991]

I'd like to dedicate this post to Ebert.

did anyone notice frampton bumping lachie jones after the goal LOL, ****ing billy, made me laugh.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Lachlan Gollant has it. Absolutely has it. Cannot be dropped this year

He’s a potential star , happy to be on right side of this one

X factor

Wait until he fills out a tiny bit more

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Rachelle certainly got a win sooner than I thought he might

Only slightly surprised he hasn’t won a showdown medal yet

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I'll try tomorrow but at the moment I can only take footage from highlights.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Port's debt went up by $1 million when Dawson's kick went through the goals.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Fogarty is always going to be a 3rd or 2nd option up forward.

He needs a star in front of him to take the best defender b

*he can take the 3rd defender at lucindale

He’s worse live than on tv unfort

Just isn’t AFL , all power to him but can’t see it

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Amazing. Love both left footers and recruits in Dawson and Hinge. Classy.

Actually ….Hinge second half was awesome!!!!
