I'm not a Crows supporter here to brag. I have a soft spot for Port being a proud South Aussie and have no love for Geelong at all.

I missed the first half and turned it on expecting to see Port still within touch and for Geelong to pull away in the second half but instead see Geelong ten goals up.

Did Port Adelaide lose it, or have Geelong just been irresistable?


I can't stand the Saints but it's getting to the stage where I hope they beat Geelong just because we need somebody to knock them off at some stage.

Best of luck in the last quarter guys, hopefully your boys can regain some respect.
 
Where are our players?

They have numbers everywhere......at the ball, behind the play, forward of centre, manning up on us........

We have bystanders.

It is a joke.

This is the coaches' fault.

And I don't care what anyone says, but taking Boak over Selwood was a stuff-up too.

Just our typical 3rd quarter. Dont know what Mark says at half time but far too often we come out like weve taken valium at half time and opponents go bang bang bang. No heart, no gameplan, shit skills. That sums it up.

You guys deserve to be the pride of SA. We're an embarrassment. You fight to the end, we bend over and take it.

Crows will play in a prelim because they've recruited well and back their youngsters.

Typical 3rd quarter from us. Weve had our token quarter of effort. Back to the heartless, soulless muck after half time.

Five goals down at half time hey... (just looked it up).


Do you think it's because Port are just trying to take them on but don't have the class/strength to go with them, or have they tried to shut them down but failed to do so?

Because they've had almost double the possession count.

They've been first to the ball, have had more numbers all over the ground, have spread brilliantly for each other, while still shepherding.

They've broken our soft efforts to tackle and held their tackles strong.

Their rucks have beaten us again - the game against your mob was the last time Broges and Lades won the ruck battle as far as I can recall.

Killed us in the clearances.

In short, they have won every position on the ground.

We played real well in the 2nd quarter. I think that quarter we just tried to shut them down.

Having our first 2-3 midfielders out has killed us. Weve barely won a clearance all day and its given Geelong first use and free run of the ball all day.
 
I wonder if it is a motivation thing. We always get blown away in the 1st and 3rd quarters, it is just so frustrating.

Does anyone know when D Motlop, Boak, C Cornes and S Burgoyne are back?

Gee, thanks for the reminder :eek:


Macca19 - always amazes me when people try to shut Geelong down. The Crows did that too for a while. You've just got to go out all guns blazing and take them on and hope for the best.

Port are looking a touch better so far this quarter, bit unfortunate that Rodan caught the post there though.
