[spookism]

On a positive - Broadbent

On a negative - Stewart on Burton

 

[Macca19]

Burton kicks another. Stewart has had a shocker.

P 61
A 101

 

[spookism]

Wake the **** up Toby!

 

[FishingRick04]

Can we all just admit Chad no longer is the player he was and Stewart has now 5 goals on him.

 

[Macca19]

Typical blind **** of an umpire allows Bock a goal which blatantly hit the post.

P 61
A 107

And Knights kicks another

P 61
A 113

 

[JasonScott014]

This team has got no heart. As usual just give up with barely a whimper.

No wonder no one goes to the games. They don't try so why should we? An absolute waste of money.

 

[Macca19]

Mcleod goals

P 61
A 120

Another embarrassment of a result

 

[Macca19]

Ebert misses another easy one. Your time is up Brett.

P 6
A 120

 

[wapower]

Front running pretenders. How Port Adelaide became so soft I'll never know. Stop recruiting these "high skilled" players and get some bloody tough nuts.

 

[Macca19]

Tippett kicks his 2nd

P 62
A 126

 

[manureid]

Expecting a ten goal loss then.

Should have put money maybe.....

 

[Macca19]

Porplyzia kicks another

P 62
A 132

Port Adelaide - you make me sick.

 

[Macca19]

Thats it, 70 point loss.

we have tough nuts, didn't you see em trailing 5 metre's behind the Crow players. eg Chad, Salopek, Stewart, Lower to name a few.

We had no speed, but I'll say it again, it's our midfield, we keep getting smashed there!

 

[Shane_Mag]

Pathetic.

 

[JasonScott014]

Season's over. Time to drop half of this mob of arrogant pretenders. and bring in the kids. This season just keeps getting more and more un-creed like every week. What an embarrassment this team is to this club's proud history.

And all we can take from it is that it will be like this for the next 2 years! That should bring fans through the turnstiles!!

 

[spookism]

At least now we are is sure - this is our team this year, not the team that beat Hawthorn, Adelaide (Showdown 26) etc.

Better placed 10-12 than a finals contender

I couldn't agree more. You can only blame the defence so much. The ball was in there pretty much the whole game. Time to get rid of passengers like Pearce, Salopek, even most of K Cornes' possessions that he gets are nothings that make it look like he is doing something. It's time for change. The season is over. We're kidding ourselves if we think otherwise

 

[klem22]

We had the opportunity for change when williams could have been turfed expect more of the same from this backward bufoon

The being 5 metres behind is more a reflection on the way we are coached than our players being slow.

On a one to one basis our players are "faster" than the Crow's players however you wouldn't know that if that was the only game one watched.

Other teams get outside players to play a bit more inside (Farren Ray etc), Choco turns naturally inside players such as Salopek into "very wide receivers" and I am trying very hard to use polite adjectives. He even tried to do it with Kane Cornes of all people. Boak is next on the list, put all your money on it.

We got outcoached ... again.

 

[MrMeaner]

It sounds like we could have used another few percentage of Shaun. At least we can put to rest the theory that he would play well to boost his upcoming contract.

Like all our losses this year, a completely miserable (lack of) effort from too many. After so many such miserable attempts at footy, it is hard to get passionate about this loss.

 

[Capital Power]

That's three times this year when other results have gone our way, and a win would have sent us right up the table, and three times we have capitulated without so much as a whimper. There has to be some psychological issue there as well as the obvious problems with the game plan.

I just can't believe the players don't want to win, but they play like it doesn't matter. Why?

I've keep saying it, club attitude is influenced by the coaching team. Port have been getting more and more arrogant. At other clubs the coach will get on top of that but Choco seems to let go and seems to get a bit involved in it himself. There have been so many Port capitulations and chokes over the years since Choco has been here, it all comes back to attitude.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I'm beginning to question what exactly the team I am supporting is.

It sure as hell isn't Port Adelaide.

 

[power09]

thought that was the best port played in weeks just dont work anywhere near hard enough thought Burgoyne was ok was only half watching after the 2 Qtr and what was with the gay low camera angle every time crows got a goal trying to make em look greater or something
