I did laugh when in the second quarter they said he hard lined the ball that Bruhn & he went for in the middle

He didn't hardline anything - he stood there while Bruhn went for the ball but rather than putting his body into it, he tried to tap it on which Narkle collected

The way the commentators spoke though you'd be forgiven for thinking Narkle ran through Hawkins to win the ball

Thought the same.
If narkle had have bodied the ball he wouldn't have gotten it, it ended in his hands BECAUSE he stood off and Bruhn fumbled the get.

 

[Micksy]

Tale of the tape.

Just to fast and slick through the middle of the ground.

Our midfield is horrendous this year.

I agree. It is one of the worst 4 midfields in the competition.

 

[Grimoz]

O Henry doesnt command a spot in this side

 

[Mattlock]

No complaints.

They are simply a much better team and have a better game style.

I actually hope they go all the way, they have fairly beaten us tonight and I don't want a piesflag.

 

[Baudolino]

How the hell is that on him
Has to reach back to take a s**t handball and has time to turn back around take one step before getting tackled mid kick

He had easily enough time to dispose of it. Just had no awareness.

 

[Burtyl78]

I’m Sorry but Jezza is a front runner, too casual and needs to harden up when ;it’s not going his way

 

[winty]

What's with the Port fans doing the tomahawk chop? Do they think they're the Atlanta Braves or something?

 

[mcwilrob]

Our backline has been utterly horrific all year and tonight is the icing on the cake.

Real problem is further up the field - losing midfield, clearances, etc.

 

[Grimoz]

Speaking of players who have been shit lately, Close is right up there again!!!

 

[Bunnings]

They must’ve wrote in the contract, same as Bruhn, only explanation

Sure we can complain - about the side not delivering nearly close to its potential this season. Even accounting for when we've had a big injury list. Too many '22 premiership stars simply down on form when they are out there.

They are great to watch, and fully deserving.

Time to play the kids.

We need to see if blokes like Ceglar are any good. These old blokes are cooked.

It comes down to pressure and want. We just don’t want it bad enough. Port upped the pressure and we went lazy. Jogging, lazy ‘tackles’. No chase.

We also have problems up the field but our backline is still a big, big problem.

SPP will do that to most players... Zero issue from me. Needed help.

Especially as Guthrie could only get hold of one arm

If he had pinned both arms & SPP broke free, then I'd be more inclined to lay into Guth, but what pissed me off more in that play was Bowes standing there watching on

Come on mate, you're returning from injury and was made the starting sub - show some sort of intent otherwise bring Knevitt back as sub

 

[Strange Cat]

Oh well onto next year port should do well in the finals

 

[catstorm]

Is Danger actually playing, did he get taken off? Because I sure as shit haven’t seen him.

 

[mcwilrob]

* Narkle. Don't do s**t for 7 years with us and now finally gets fit.

Yeah - sonofabitch

 

[CHAWKTS]

Gotta admit Narkle is looking pretty ******* sparkling. What a handsome man...

I am going to try copy the hair style - give me a couple of months

 

[The_Todd07]

Bullshit

Of course he didn't see the player coming, he had to turn the other bloody way to grab the 5m handball that was behind him

 

[geelong_crazy26]

We can hardly touch the footy around the midfield, and we get sliced up quite badly from FF to FB frequently.

Will look forward to nabbing a good draft pick and rejuvenating moving forward

Suggests Ceglar.

Right...
