Review Port vs Brisbane QF @ The Gabba - It's OK Guys, Finals are a Bit Scary

[PJ Power]

Team defence around the ground would also be bottom 6ish

We getting through and winning game based on the attacking brilliance of a few players

And when those players get beaten (as in the Carlton, Crows and Brisbane games) we get smashed. Our midfield has potential to be great, but it's got a very long way to go in big games.

Marshall is definitely getting jabs in the hip before games, it's no excuse for the close in misses but it's obviously having an effect with his action perhaps a bit of pain when he follows through. He has zero interest in even taking shots beyond 40 metres.

 

[ctpower]

When's it not mental with this guy ..

I’m tired of the excuses with this guy.
Kicking set shots out on the full from 20 metres out is not good enough.

Nah it was mental.
He's a fragile kid

Can't wait to hear what Kane's got to say on Monday.

And yet he was our second best forward for the night.

Really tells the tale, huh.

 

[Mr Experience]

When are the media going to APOLOGISE to Warren

 

[JimmyBC]

Nah it was mental.
He's a fragile kid

Of course he has the yips but he's not 100% it all feeds into it.

Big fan of the social media tart posting a video of JHF kicking a ball with the words "Flush" and some emoji, before we go and hit precisely no kicks flush.

 

[Portwon]

So if Dixon comes in (don't think he will) you know Lord goes out....

You.Know.It.

It's the Port way.

 

[PJ Power]

Can't wait to hear what Kane's got to say on Monday.

We don't have a good enough list. He has been saying as much all year and will say so again.
As much as I want to blame Hinkley, Bassett, Cornes, Koch, Davies and Richardson for tonight, there were about 18 players who deserve the blame more. Our best and most dangerous players simply didn't bring their A-games.

Kick on his left instead.

Imagine how many kicks on goal at the captain's run the Instagram poster has to film before getting the ones that go through. There'd have to delete thousands of clips of shanked kicks to get the three they show each week.

 

[Port85]

Meh.

We were never good enough all year.

Even when we were having winning streaks we had a pretty poor defence.

Get Grundy, Zerk-Thatcher and Esava and go again. Then again. Then sack Hinkley.

 

[PortPortPort]

We lost this game before it started, you can't go into the game saying that finals are scary, the opposition knows they have you on the ropes.

The Oppenheimer stuff too, do not give the footy media any ammo. The players weren't even allowed to getaway laughing at training in 07, the Vic media had a field day with that.

 

[Chode1]

Darcy pittard-pettigrew-O’Shea-Byrne-Jones is so lost with little skill or awareness - drop/trade

O-diir O-diir really overrated

Mcentee invisible

Finlayson must be dropped. So overrated!

Burton soft

Farrell soft as butter

Houston lazy, unaccountable footy

McKenzie stuffed/damaged

Might beat gws but then the year ends

Can't wait to hear what Kane's got to say on Monday.

Kane has always said we don’t have the team to win the premiership, key defenders, rucks and forwards he has been negative all year on. It will be a I told you so moment and followed up with “Kenny’s done a great job to get them to this point”

 

[Enoch Blaze]

Bonner should be playing ahead of Duursma on the wing. Come at me.

DBJ should be dropped.

McEntee offers nothing.

JHF isn't ready to lead us into a GF, and the balance between him and Wines at the moment isn't right.

Even if we got somewhere Marshall and Finlaysons weak minded s**t would again come out in a GF.

And the coaches should get a huge roast for playing Farrell on a wing despite not playing there all year, meanwhile Boak sat as the sub when we needed experience around the ground.

Bonner was our only good player in 21PF. Hate for him has always been over the top.

Defensive forwards strategy needs to be reviewed now, agree. Wasn't that long ago we had riches of small forwards. Now we only have Rioli and he needs to be a little more selfish and not always dish off.

JHF building but still lacks awareness around him.

We missed Farrell kicking off half back, has been incisive all year.

 

[Jonts]

I'm also fine with trading Duursma now
Hinkley isnt getting the best out of him imo

We have no picks so they'll need to do something.
