Review GBU: Jordan Dawson sinks Port Adelaide after the siren

[jackster83]

Port are going through the exact same thing with Ken that we went through with Craig.

The scenarios are eerily similar.

They just need their version of Spackler's transcripts.

 

[conVINCEd]

That short-lived Ricciuto one (earlier this year?) was a gem, Carl hasn’t lost his touch.

My favourite thing this board has ever produced

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Imagine if that Monfries bounce had goaled and we lost based on that.

It reminded me of that game when it happened. I also hoped that maybe this time, it being touched was a good omen.
Maybe it was?

 

[LeftyLuke]

If Frampton’s kick is marked by Hinge does he play on? That it fell short meant he had to play on hence the ball gets down there quicker.

Yes.

 

[johnnypanther]

In all honesty.. if we are thinkin about the future.. tex shouldnt be picked.. whats he got?. 1, 2 max, season left in him?..

He’s not gonna be there for our next finals run so it is sort of list clogging levels of silliness picking him..

But we all know he’ll be straight back in!..

For all he has done on field and off field, he's given his heart and soul to the Club, he's been unfairly bashed from pillar to post by the AFL media - he deserves to be picked for as long as he wishes to play (provided of course he is performing).

A rare true Club man and IMO our best ever Captain as well as being an elite big forward.

PS the Jones "HTB not paid" - was that the wing, as above, with 30 secs to go? IMO that was "no prior". Maybe in another situation an overzealous umpire might pay it, but it was quite legit to let it go.

Re: the "htb" not called on Jones with 33 seconds to play.
Looked more like "illegal disposal" to me (if anything) but it would've been a tough call because he was tackled straight away (no prior, as you said).
The Port tackler (Rozee? Duursma?) was not upset at the call and just jogged off.

In fact, not a single PA player in the vicinity appealed for the free kick. So, yeah, play on.

 

[CrowBloke]

I didn't consider Billy was playing 4D chess, I just thought he couldn't hit a target from 20m away.

Yeah, I'm with you. He can't.

Billy is not smart enough to go: "I'll grub this short, so that he will play on".

 

[CrowBloke]

Gollant must be a chance for this round’s Rising Star nomination?

Not while there are first-year players in Vic-based sides, especially rellies of stars ie Daicos got the nod.

 

[CrowBloke]

Body of work

It's all relative ... s.

 

[AFC979810]

Yeah, I'm with you. He can't.

Billy is not smart enough to go: "I'll grub this short, so that he will play on".

Agree. Although it does look like he pulls back from the kick. Probably because he knows down by 2 with less than a minute to go if he over kicks it its game over.

 

[DaKids]

You can focus on the negative that he didn’t quite hit the pass - but far more important was the clean take under suffocating mental pressure. Every chance that ball is fumbled, but he was clean and the kick was good enough.

I agree with the person before me - he looked to me to pull the kick as too much the game is gone. The chest was best but grass was a safe option

Billy is also not smart enough to go: "we're ...down by 2 with less than a minute to go; if I overkick it, it's game over".
He flubbed the kick .

Luckily, Hinge was the recipient and raked it forward to a lead (aiming for Himmelberg, looked like).

Anybody else notice that he lowered his eyes and did not just bomb the ball in high to a PA-packed I50?

 

[skittlebrew]

Rachele's 5 goal haul in his first game already exceeds Rankine's career game high in goals.

And would have Luko slotted the game winner Dawson did on the weekend? Does he influence games as much as Dawson?

Enough said really

 

[Jinglebells32]

Bloody hell Dawson is a gun.

Always has enough time to dispose of the ball, even if being tackled he still gets it away.

A welcome change from the likes of Ned and Jones who crumble into a tackle as soon as contact is made.

he's very strong through the hips. Just shrugs off the tackler and takes off onto that elite left leg.

 

[chazwazza]

I didn't consider Billy was playing 4D chess, I just thought he couldn't hit a target from 20m away.

I’m not for one minute suggesting it was a deliberate act by Frampton, was totally a $hit kick but I think it’s interesting to consider how it affected the end of the game.
If Hinge marks that ball he’s in two minds, play on or go back and look for a target, that can only play on causes him to be decisive.

It was a clean pick up and a 'tempered' kick, but no way in hell was it intentionally aimed to lob just in front of hinge with the thinking that Hinge would have turn around and play on.

Thing is, what ever the case, it worked by Frampton not over-kicking and was one of a few happy links in a chain that ended up in a thoroughly savage defeat for Port and a morale boosting win for us.

Bloody delicious.

 

[Danger_zone]

I think if we got Luko, we'd hope he would reach the same levels of Dawson.

Lucky for us we already have one of those.

Yes we can agree. No doubt he missed his kick. but In the heat of the moment he looks to have allowed for a margin of error that was under not over - by not over cooking it.

But as you say good result for crows and shouldn’t also forget how clean hinge was too. Either of those 2 fumble and it was curtains

 

[BucketsNj]

He’s not lazy. I think he lopes rather than runs which gives the impression that he’s not putting in, but that’s just the way he runs. I imagine he tries just as hard as anyone else. Calling him lazy is just one of those easy, unverifiable assertions that have no proof behind them. Which this board is full of.

Are we just quoting other posters now and offering no supporting comments?

Is this like when you can’t be bothered coming up with your own opinion?

I could get used to this.

 

[Slippery Pete]

I have crushed your hopes and dreams. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. You are nothing.

 

[Geoffa32]

I didn't consider Billy was playing 4D chess, I just thought he couldn't hit a target from 20m away.

I give him credit for going the shorter option to a better user of the ball though.

The easy and predictable option was the 50m kick up the ground.

Brownlow votes will be interesting for this game, both coaches and the medal voters gave BOG to Dawson.

Boak three votes
