Autopsy Port versus an actual football team

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I think everyone just knew it was over from the opening bounce.

Lycett just losing easily to a washed not even good in his prime and 12 weeks out ruck in Martin.

Basically the tone was set there.

 

[Kingfish73]

Nothing will change. Get ready for many years of disappointment. That effort unfortunately sums up this club under Ken. Jonas and Ken laughing during national anthem had me concerned...and rightly so. Never turned up and belted in every aspect of the game

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

I’m 27 and I doubt I’ll ever see us win another flag in my lifetime

Ease up mate. I’m 53 & hold hope cause Hinkley won’t last long at all.

Trade rozee
Send Ken packing
Motlop is gone
Jonas is gone
Fantasia should be moved out
Dbj gone

 

[rogerjames]

Motlop and Fantasia 2 of the softest players I've seen.

Plenty of others too including Amon, Marshall - neither fired a shot when the game was hot early

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Absolutely disgusting team and coaching again.

Not even going to waste time going into it tonight.

All I want to know is what the flaming hell did we spend the last 2 weeks doing?

- We came out slow and were 5 goals down within 10 minutes.
- Completely out coached in the centre
- Forward line totally dysfunctional again
- Players were flat footed and didn’t work together all game
- Aliir totally outpositioned and again
outcoached
- Lycett again can’t bloody ruck to advantage
- Rozee, Butters and Duursma non existent and disgusting

How do we have a week off and come out more flat footed than a team that’s travelled to the moon and back the last week.

10 million other issues but screw them all and screw them for getting our hopes up again too dish up the exact same shit

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Gutted. Need a big change next year. Think we can compete if we are smart in off season. Get rid of players with value but are getting older.

 

[LeoMessi]

Cocky bunch of campaigners last night

Remind me how you guys are going to beat us in the grand final again?

Enjoy it mate. Finally can say you’ve become a relevant club. After 1000 no.1 picks in the last 20 years

 

[afl2004]

It's the lack of pain I feel atm and during the game , iv lost so much hope and passion for this sport

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Although I am disappointed with such a poor result, I still believe that we can improve and play better football next season.

My only regret is that David Koch isn't now stuck in a small room by himself for 14 days

I wish we could all go back to Alberton tonight and they all had to face the music.

Big sigh of relief, imagine if we took that game to Perth in a fortnight.

At least you have had some recent success. We’re going nowhere with this muppet

Kenny has rebuilt your team and not topped up with destination clubbers.
You have some great young players, and a future.
Scott has burned our future list with his delusional ‘always contending‘ BS.

 

[Black 18]

What a joke.

I was concerned the minute they had players ruled out or looking likely to not play as we always think it means we can cruise. It's a horrible sign of what usually comes and it did bigtime.

Credit to Bonner. I don't rate him and still probably don't but he tried his best and may be the only player who looked like he cared. That's a horrible indictment on every other player out there.

Well done, Riley.

DBJ is the worst footballer I have ever seen in a position of leadership at the PAFC. Nearly all year this guy has jogged along without a care in the world pointing at others to do what he should have. He was appalling tonight - like he has been for 20 odd games this year.

Motlop and Fantasia didn't even bother trying to get in the game. They spent all night playing behind their players, not manning up, just waiting for easy out the back goals or stats and both actively avoided contact numerous times.

Boak, Gray and Dixon all couldn't handle the pressure early on when all had chances and all made pathetic attempts. That's unacceptable for leaders and senior players then Boak spent the rest of the game shitting himself every single time he had any sort of physical contact upon him or coming to him.

Butters escapes serious criticism only because of his injury but I'm starting to think it may be an injury that prevents him from being what I thought he may become. Spends too much time trying to prove his bravery or toughness and doesn't hunt the ball at all. Tries to be too cute when he does find a rare touch and generally is miles off the pace these days.

Rozee flashes in and out yet doesn't seem to be anything more than a cream on top type. No substance. No real desire.

Wines was back to thinking he's playing touch footy attempting to get rid of the ball before he has it all game. No strength, no desire.

Just another night of shame and embarrassment from a Club that seems more interested in creating a false narrative than actually admitting we have issues, have had issues, and will continue to do so without strong leadership. You can always lose but WTF Port happens too often for us to be anything more than a joke. And that will never be fixed while we have weakness starting in Koch and I honestly think Richardson isn't much either. He's weak too.

And to Ken. You can't coach, man. Never been able to. All you do is provide a very protected, insular environment and play the father figure. You keep them safe, they keep you safe and when collectively you're challenged you all collapse in fright and make excuses.

If things don't go to plan Ken hasn't a clue. Nothing.

Throw Ollie, Trav and Robbie in the guts and kick tumble punts all day/night long to Charlie.

That's what we get from a guy on over $500,000.00 per season - not to mention the other coaches taking up atleast that too.

Unforgivable and despite so much evidence to prove the point until tonight I always held out hope this was the real PAFC.

It's not

You should be worried with the Dogs, mate.

 

[Dentshop]

Hows Koshie going, ? tell him the team should have worn the prison bars tonght,may have helped. Doggies loved your song, Never tear us Apart, and did just that.

Bravo reet hard.

 

[Willsy10]

How it started

Prelim day is officially here

No more what happen power. No excuses, just win the damn thing.

How it's going


Why am I surprised

 

[GatesOfHell]

In all honesty your end of h/a ladder position was false economy. One win against fellow top eight sides was it?

Being fully exposed like this will be better for Port in the long run. Force necessary changes starting with the coach.

 

[MrPlow]

If 2-3 players don’t show up on the night then OK, some have off nights. It happens.

But for the entire team to come out with no desperation or desire? That’s on the coach. If an apparently “relationship” not tactical coach can’t rev up a team for prelim, what can he do?

We’ve now regressed and it can’t be swept under the rug

 

[Granny Duurs is Lovely]

I think everyone just knew it was over from the opening bounce.

Lycett just losing easily to a washed not even good in his prime and 12 weeks out ruck in Martin.

Big big underrating of Martin there. Has always been a neutralizing ruck with a physical presence. He is like the Mumford for the dogs, because their players are so good at ground level they just need the opposition ruck to not win it cleanly.

Having said that, everyone played like a pile of poop tonight except for Bonner who can hold his head high. ****ing hell what an embarrassing game

Beat Dogs, Swans, Bombers and Giants. Beat cats in the qualifying final. So 4 wins against top 8 + a final.

We sucked tonight but we had a solid season. Also piss off and let us wallow in our misery.

 

[MrPlow]

No premiership for Boak and Gray breaks my heart. They deserved so much better than this football club.

If they wanted it so bad maybe they’d have put it all on the line in at least one of the 3 prelims
