Review Port defeat Umpires + Saints by 7 points

[OneGreatClub]

He’s really going in on the umpiring tonight

I like this style of Ken, but where has it been for 11 years?

 

[Portwon]

The thing is we're not that negative because of what we're doing. We're that negative because of what the umpires are allowing the opposition to do to us. There's not a lot of frees against us that aren't there, we're just not getting the calls when they do the same thing to us.

This times a billion.

Well said sir

Very very difficult to separate Tredrea going for the jugular and the team and coach suddenly giving a shit. Why are they all acting so differently.

Won’t last.

 

[elbarton]

The tactical mastermind has carefully built up 11 years of social capital until now, to deliver this blow against the officials, his final checkmate move that will propel us to ultimate glory

 

[Coobk001]

Considering we were carrying Lord, had to overcome the absolute reaming Marshall gave us, had a half crippled Dixon and lost Duursma early. It adds to what a solid win that was.

Marshall back next week, Duursma is a loss, but coverable by Bonner without much loss.

Main issue is the ruck, god knows what we do there. I would rather a tap ruckman than a headless chook in Teakle.

The media can have sly cracks at Wazza but it's no coincidence that we've seen some drastic changes since then.

 

[manureid]

Also, Boak knockers can EAD. Yeh, he misses some set shots, but he was again a major part of us winning that game

 

[PowerBaz]

Did we just out-coach a side?

I’m the only one on this board will go with its Bass coaching and Kens firing them up on the bench.

Also, Bergman hasn’t signed, can’t let him walk.

 

[Doctor Feel]

lol just how much did Tredrea piss the establishment off, it's hilarious. One negative podcast and they all completely lose their minds.

Imagine how different the response to him would be if he was one of those cushy Melbournites parachuted out of their career into the media on the footy panels etc. He'd be getting the credit he deserves and the "well why didn't they play this way sooner, why did it take warren calling them out to change"

Instead its WaRrEn BiTtEr

 

[Fizzler]

1st qtr 5 v 3 then
3 qtrs 9 v 25

Worth mentioning that the first quarter seemed a lot worse than the count would suggest, lots of missed calls as well that should've gone our way but didn't

 

[rainwizard39]

I like this style of Ken, but where has it been for 11 years?

My guess is because it’s a contract year and umpires screwing us this year is finally effecting him.

 

[PowerBaz]

Yes but a Ross Lyon side.

You can only beat what’s in front of you. A good wins a win.

 

[Coobk001]

Very very difficult to separate Tredrea going for the jugular and the team and coach suddenly giving a s**t. Why are they all acting so differently.

Feels a bit like the Major League movie, wonder if they have a poster of Tredrea they peel strips off everytime they win.

 

[GoPorts]

Won’t last.

Just need to get tredrea to keep on top of them

 

[Matrix10]

How any betting whatsoever is allowed on this sport is beyond me

Yep , and if a player ask his mate to put a bet on , and it’s tracked back , he is suspended by the CorruptAFL. Yet we go to the ground , look on our tv screens , Lo and behold , advertising on the hoardings and on the big screen for the best odds. But , but. Gamble responsibly

I mean, it is a cult so I dread to think of the weird shit they do behind closed doors tbh. Greyhound syndicates and wiggly hand shakes and hugging each other before the bounce is weird enough.

Just saying

Great win a proper port Adelaide win ..

JHF is huge along with Rozee and butters will be the premier midfield for years to come just need a better ruck ..

Dixs taps to Willie was unbelievable

Boak wound back the clock Ollie was serviceable the backs stood up great


Ohh * ken just shot an arrow at the umps

Not our fault youse guys were so undisciplined that afternoon

Wink emoji.

 

[OneGreatClub]

What a great win for a Friday night. I see they panned over to Gill. Wonder what HE thought of the umpiring….winp.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Good on hinkley for making a stand against the umps..

Clap clap clap

 

[DazzaTys]

Finally the club call the umpiring out. Thankyou Ken

 

[Blinky Nyland]

Teakle better in the ruck this week, contested marking and ground ball skills terrible. But should still hold his spot over Lycett.

Yeah Teakle is better than that. Just needs time at the level to find some confidence and composure. Given he was against the inform ruckman of the comp, he did as well as expected.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

I truly thought he was ok. Ruck is a tough position, some of the tap work was sloppy and he missed a few tackles, but he's not completely at sea

has played a massive role in the turnaround in the team's fortunes. If he hadn't put a rocket up a few people with his comments, I very much doubt we'd be sitting third on the ladder right now.
