Autopsy Port versus an actual football team

[philreich]

I 100% agree but will we

i was torn last night during the game do i hope we bring it back to a 30pt loss or hope it blows out above 100 so we can see some real change.

listening to Koch during the weak, he loves Ken, he ain’t sacking ken, no way will this happen under his watch.

unfortunately we are going to meander along for the term of his contract being this being average is okay mentality.

fu** what this club has become..

If anything, making it to the last 4 in consecutive years will be considered worthy of another contract extension by the clowns in charge. If I know Koch, don't write it off!!!

Might be time to give up this sport , the corruption is mentally exhausting , 13 of the last 15 premierships by Victorians.

Yeah, the Bulldogs had so many unfair advantages last night. How did we think we were ever a chance of winning?

 

[Capital Power]

Tried watching a bit of the Ken presser.

We're a young club who still has some way to go.

Has literally been saying the same thing for 9 years straight.

Let me guess, the next line was

"until we're as good as <insert name of any one of the ELEVEN teams who have made a GF since I've been coaching>"

 

[VineValerian]

Only good thing about last night was I didn't have to sit the the whole 2 hour s***-show to endure an agonising last kick heart breaker.
Result was known in the first 6 minutes.
Knew the result, just not the margin.
Could tune into something interesting to watch - like the life cycle of an earthworm.

 

[VineValerian]

I was thinking the same.

Not even a mention of the fans from Ken.

Burton squibbing letting Naughton take a horizontal mark on the wing

Jonas should of made sure Johannison didnt see next week and chuck a knee or elbow in...SOMETHING and JJ outmarks him in the air

Caleb Daniel outmarking motlop because Steven was too slow to make up 3metres

Motlop again complaining to the ump when the ball is still live and wines kept it in just for him

Ladhams not realising he has two hands and one of the biggest players dimension wise on the field

Full of soft players we are nowhere near the Port Adelaide of 2004

Yes

Yes

Too slow or to scared?

Yes

Yes - maybe our talls are told not to mark?

Yes

 

[Harlott]

From our vantage point in 532, a virtual birds eye view....

Players jogging with no intent, confused attack on the ball, not knowing who was going for what, no system, no structure, no idea.
.

This line resonates with me. I was in 529 and this is what I saw in the first half. I don’t get having this play out in a cut throat PF when the opportunity to be there again is never, ever guaranteed. Particularly with this current guise of our football club.

Picture a scene where Russell Ebert or Tredrea have a confused attack on the ball.

Just woke up from a nap. Last night was all just a horrible nightmare right?

The coach has lost the players.

It may sound corny but I have spent hours on Big Footy, it's quite cathartic to know you're not alone. Haven't posted much but would like everyone to know their conversation is appreciated.

Similarly, I can understand posters wanting to step away. Please don't, your participation is valuable and could be the tonic for helping everyone's mental health.

Special about out to those overseas who may not have friends/family to share this with.

We Are Port Adelaide. Not those imposters in the box and on the field yesterday

Well said, fully understand those that want to step away etc though as you are all much closer to it than me.
I'm at work today and we're pretty quiet so sitting here and reading all the comments.
My wife isn't into football at all, her contribution last night was "it's just a game, why are you so grumpy?"
I wish I could think like that!!

No doubt I'll whinge and moan and renew my Membership anyway as Port are one of the few things I miss back home.

My wife wanted to know why I switched off after ten minutes and watched her movie instead. I wanted to try and avoid the grumpy phase.

Has anyone from the club apologised to the fans for serving that shitshow up last night?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

No doubt KK think we should thank them for another winning season.

Not that I've seen. I think it's down to us annoying fans and our expectations...

Thanks for coming along with the ride, see you at da footie next year!

That's all I've seen.

 

[sobrave]

Trying to think positive. At least that's the last time port will ruin a weekend this year.

The cats and Dangerfield won't get a flag.

I don't really care who wins between Melbourne and WB. It would be nice for Neale Daniher to see a flag.

 

[Marat]

Did Dank pay the bullfrogs a visit before the game ? They looked unusually sprite.

They did - Naughtons been bog average for the last 10 weeks and he comes out last night wearing his Superman cape

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Unpopular opinion time but the gloss is definitely off on Schofield.

It might not be his fault but the midfield issues were huge in the two finals.

West Coast are so far up his arse he may have just come to work wearing their kit

Splendid timing huh

Oh well, not why we lost, but midfield was tripe again

Midfield was an issue long before he arrived.

This is interesting. I noticed Marshall at least twice just palm the ball to ground with flat hands. Could have easily marked them in the pack.

I'd go through the replay to confirm but I don't watch bad movies twice.

 

[Marmozet]

You always wonder when and if you'll see another premiership.

The fact that we've now let two perfect opportunities in a row slip leaves me dead inside.

I cannot see us finishing top 4 next season either, it's going to have to be a long term goal. Maybe in Hinkley a 20th year.

 

[Harlott]

Boak offered an apology of sorts to supporters in his post match interview on 5AA last night.

 

[Harlott]

So we were a false fourth....
