Game Day Port v Carlton

[Windy Cindy]

Why select Mead if you are going to put him in a forward pocket the whole game. At least pick a player with some forward craft like an Evans.

Just don’t pick mead hes rubbish, doesn’t matter what position he plays . his surname gets him a game.

Burgoyne very disappointing just throws it on his boot, he’a gone backwards

We’ve got the shit lycett today, toweled up.. fire up ya big lugg

We have been torn up by spuds..

Follows up our shit last 2 weeks.. im
Not sure hinkley can get this team back on track.. even with players missing

 

[Sozabarus]

I feel sorry for TJ. He’s made the most of his talent and has had a good career, but he’s getting his legacy tainted every minute he spends on the field.

What legacy?

 

[Traveling_Power]

from the AFL Web site
The positive for Port Adelaide heading into half time will be that they have been here before. After trailing the Blues by 49 points at half time in Round 5, 2022, they got within three points of snatching a win at the full time siren.

The Power are winning the contested possession count by a small margin (78-76) in the shadows of half time, lead by a game-high tally of 10 for Dan Houston

. This has been largely as a result of being first to the ball at ground level, which they lead 54-43.

 

[PJ Power]

we are leading Disposals 199 to 187
we are leading inside 50s - 32 to 29
disposal efficency - carlton 73.8% to us at 69.8%

And yet our wins this year have been based on high pressure, high efficiency, low possession, direct football.

 

[Doctor Feel]

What legacy?

The legacy of piss

 

[Windy Cindy]

Lol we gave mcentee another 2 years

Another playing himself out of the team

 

[Handyandy]

yeah port adelaide the last 10 years

Truly the worst kicking I have ever seen, butcher would have got 2

 

[Visenfest]

Very unlikely but not impossible that we win from here. Some changes I’d swing:

• sub Jonas out
• Lord to the backline to replace Jonas
• Burton subbed in, and goes up forward

And for the love of god stop letting Finlayson ruck. Opposition rucks know exactly how to counter him not going up for the tap. He either goes for the taps, or he stays parked in the forward 50.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Well, we were due for a mare.

 

[Handyandy]

Cut lord asap

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Motlop was legitimately a delist candidate for Carlton too. Like might actually the be the worst player ever to kick 4 goals in a half.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Just don’t pick mead hes rubbish, doesn’t matter what position he plays . his surname gets him a game.

Burgoyne very disappointing just throws it on his boot, he’a gone backwards

We’ve got the s**t lycett today, toweled up.. fire up ya big lugg

I agree but it is especially dumb putting him forward.

Mead and Burgoyne have barely played a decent AFL game between them and never will. Dump them and move on

 

[NickFlips]

Mead 1 disposal
SPP 3 disposals
Jonas 4 disposals
Marshall 4 disposals
Jedi 4 disposals
Finlayson 6 disposals
Lord 6 disposals

Notable that 6 of those 7 are playing forward. Entries haven't been good. Forwards need to compete more too though.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Lol we gave mcentee another 2 years

It's good we showed faith. That merkin's not going to cheese itself.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Our midfield has reverted back to just throwing it on the boot hack style.

Mead is shots, delist

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Its clear Ken is coaching this week. The club decided to rest Carr before finals.

Dont worry I hear that Carr will coach again from next week.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lol we gave mcentee another 2 years

Averaging 7 disposals, 2.25 tackles and 0.7 goals over the last month.

Boak special

 

[PJ Power]

Looking forward to the Hayes bashing that will follow this game.

Didn’t see Witts rag doll Sammy anywhere near as much as TDK has done to Lycett.

Lycett has produced as insipid a half in the ruck as you’ll see.

 

[Powertron]

We can still win this. Just need to finish off.

They’re big average but are bringing pressure, some clean ball and we can turn it.

No faith in Lord, Marshall of Finn’s kicking today though….

 

[Incarnate]

There’s still a half to play, rather be sitting on the other side of the tally but let’s see if we can stand up with the soldiers on the field

 

[Jakksynn]

why the **** does Jase Burgoyne keep getting picked? He literally gets swatted off the ball every time. Does not have an AFL body

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I50's 32 v 29
Shots 15 v 16
Non scoring shots 4 v 0
Marks I 50 6 v 7 for 0.4 v 3.4
Frees I50 3 v 1 for 1.1 v 1.0

Marshall and Lord aren't kicking at AFL standard, more like U/10 standard.

If they can actually kick properly we can still win this game by 3 or 4 goals. We have seen we can dominate a quarter and get it I50 twenty times, but you gotta take your chances. There is no ****ing wind. No wet slippery ball. So no execuses.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Ken’s been itching to bring Jonas in since dropping him. You get what you deserve
