Review Pies cause a blackout! (Pies 108-69 Port)

[DopeMaster]

Reid did more than enough to give selectors a massive headache.

My first thoughts are to leave cox out

It’s a tough one isn’t it? I’m leaning that way too. Reid a little more mobile, offers more around the ground, and a one-grab player. Cox does some things that he doesn’t though too... Tricky call

 

[Vicky Park]

Champagne footy in the first quarter. Sublime.

My childhood hero, Peter Mckenna, walked past our row at Marvel.

Got a seat in the tram to come home.

What’s not to love about tonight?

 

[joff]

******* love this footy club.

Just bloody heartbreaking well done cfc

 

[Ron]

I saw Adams go off injured at the game, but not sure what caused it.
So what did he do and how long are we looking at?

 

[TradeDraft]

Started Very Well. Slacked off in 2nd Qtr and Start of 3rd but came good late in 3rd Qtr and 4th. Improvement from last week.

We really need to Kick Straight for Goal.

Moore is starting to show what a Gun he can become

Bloody scumps where shit again.

Port got looked after well

I'm telling you guys reading the Adelaide Crows board's opposition thread after Collingwood wins is almost as good as reading our own review threads, so much positivity in there.. its extra spicy tonight because we beat port

here's a little nugget from tonight:

It's a crime against the game and a blight on AFL umpires that Pendlebury hasn't won a Brownlow. Absolute superstar!

I thought the umps were ok. A few missed calls on both sides, but good overall

 

[PicaBoo]

Just watched the highlights. Noticed that Stevo is also flying a bit more for marks now? More confidence or more chance with Cox out of the game ??
WHE still very rusty but looks like the swoop squad are starting to flap their wings.

 

[jathanas]

8. 12 to 10. 6 after the first qtr, yeah we bank 4pts but not acceptable


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

We kicked 1.6 in the 2nd quarter of which at least 4 were sodas. We weren't outplayed, our finish was poor.

Can't judge our performance fairly unless you include the best quarter! The game was finished by quarter time.

Hate the buggers myself TD but thought they weren't to bad tonight

 

[Maggie5]

Damn, I should have stuck with my 34 pt win and I would only have been 5 points off. I am a chicken heart!

 

[Saintly Viewed]

kicking accurately would be beneficial.

Still better to have the bad kicking fir goal in a blow out game than in a tight final.

14 more scoring shots, that’s mega scoring opportunities.

Not the Worse but they had some shockers I think mostly in 3rd Qtr

 

[PicaBoo]

It's amazing the difference in feeling when you have little ones of your own, isn't it? Can't imagine how I could face the world. Credit to the dad too.

It is actually quite simple explanation on how to face the world: They are not showing any fear so you don't dare too either. You simply can't. Toughest thing to do but that is what being a parent is all about.

Turn it up. That was the best officiated game I've seen all year by a long way. Other than a couple of iffy calls I hardly noticed them.

 

[ottoman]

Actually I never said that?

I don't need to cherry pick anything, Reid hasn't been good for 6 years while Cox is best 22.

Agreed with your criticism of Varcoe.
Don't agree with what you are saying about Reid.
His first game back in a year or so. I think he did well. For someone who has been hampered for so long that was a very positive first game back.
Needs to slot those shots though.

Cox is far far far more important for us.

With his height and mobility he can never be left alone.

He’s more accurate and is THE back up ruck.
He stands the mark better than anyone.
He’s a headache Reid can never be.
Reid looks to have lost a good few meters off his kicking range.

But it might be Mihocek that misses for a fully firing Reid.

Yea no problems mate I'll check it out great win all the same

 

[nahnah]

I saw Adams go off injured at the game, but not sure what caused it.
So what did he do and how long are we looking at?

pulled his groin, they tested it out and tried to get him back on but decided that wasn't the go. No idea about recovery time but I doubt its a long term thing

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Port aren’t a terrible team, they’ll finish 7-10th. Our bad goal kicking is what have them a chance.

We flogged them in the 1st qtr. We can absolutely turn it on for a qtr, quite often the first. As the year goes on hopefully we can do it for longer

So you’re saying we didn’t beat anyone

Reid is the natural footballer Cox could never be. He kicks it just as far as Cox does.

It helps when there's only 23 paid for both teams combined. Too often we one side get that many now. Much better when they let the game flow and only pay the obvious ones.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

What’s not to love about tonight?

Accuracy at goal.

I'd play them all for a few weeks - give Grundy a lighter load for a while.
