Was just about to say we're doing the classic Ken "protect the lead". Except we don't have one. Not running the game out as well as the opposition.Why are we always going sideways and backwards like we are 2 goals up?

Going to run out of time.
There's a commentator called "Biggles"?? I presume that's Biglands. Only in Adelaide ...
Given its the only quarter of the game I saw, you can imagine what I'm feeling about how we played.One of the most insipid quarters of footy I’ve seen..
Yeah I think Mayes is one of those who does better at AFL level than in the Magpies. Should have been head and shoulders above his opponent (who was BOG).Given its the only quarter of the game I saw, you can imagine what I'm feeling about how we played.
Old brick hands Surman, any chance of catching one of them that you just let slap into your 2 hands?
Westbrook, Moore, #40, all these guys are so bad. Make so many key errors.
Honestly felt like Duursma and Mead were the only 2 Port players that cared.
If Mayes didn't let Wilson get completely off the chain in the first couple mins of that last term, we probably win the slogfest. Mayes just running directly into a smother at the end there was icing on a cake of mediocrity.
I only saw the last term but I disagree, he was often kicking to the advantage of our forwards. His kicks were quite good. Hard to do it all though, at some stage some of these forwards needs to actually take a mark or win some contested stuff at some point.Duursma obviously wants back in the AFL team, but even his disposal was kick and hope. Couldn't provide a spark to his team mates.
Is it because Lokan's hands are tied, and he is required to ensure that the AFL-listed players play the same roles as they do for the Power? Yeah that last quarter was like watching most of our last quarters this year at either level. Thought we might have turned the corner in the last couple of weeks but these guys didn't get the memo.That is it for me we have get someone who can instill some system into these lads. Their first and only option seems to be to kick sideways all the time and every time they take a mark they hesitate because they have no one to kick to. They are playing 'stop start' football.
I have stood up for Matty Lokan in the past as he has a tough job but his time is up, we need some one who can get these blokes playing as a team. There is no system, no one up forward creating a lead or running into space, these guys are forced to kick to players under pressure all the time.
Yeah, that's a fair comment, there were some basic skill errors in the forward half. It was like they'd been told not to play it there.I only saw the last term but I disagree, he was often kicking to the advantage of our forwards. His kicks were quite good.

Lord lacked a few opportunities but did try to get involved. Pasini looked confident, didn't have a great deal of help at the back. I don't get the Skinner drafting.Really sad cause if we didn’t have so many injuries the magpies would have been super strong this year with the growth of a few players like lord and pasini.
Exactly what happened against South Adelaide except that day we butchered a 5 goal lead.Port's last attacking opportunity smothered, Sturt kick a goal on the rebound after the siren. FT 50-63.
Truly awful last quarter, no spark, no structure and few players willing to take the game on. Trying to slow down and congest the game. Sturt flooded back when they needed to and were faster on the rebound. Very similar to the Power games where we take a lead into the last quarter. Very negative play.
