Game Day Ports quest for a 5 in a row certificate vs Essington

[PJ Power]

Marshall and Rozee have butchered at least two unpressured kicks each, maybe more, going into 50.

JHF too.

So many things to fix:
1. Centre clearance - one way traffic. Teakle palms it straight down their throats. They have much better position around stoppage. They protect space, get to the ball and when we close in on them they release the handball to advantage so easily.

2. Defence - Bergman aside, our other defenders have been collectively terrible. They go up together to effect a meaningless spoil leaving many of their players unopposed to crumb, handball and goal.

3. Forward entries - Rozee, JHF, Marshall and others butchering it

4. Lack of contest from SPP at HF. Being smashed today. The one forward not applying any effort to keep the ball in our half.

5. Conversion - theirs is great, ours poor. Simple shots too. Finlayson, DBJ, Rioli.

6. Turnovers

En route to a family lunch. In a paragraph or less, can I have a sit-rep?

Clearances are 8-1 their way. Probably sums up the game

 

[GoPorts]

That whole "playing for kenny" s**t never lasts very long.

The media love in for him winning 4 in a row will probably last until mid next year though

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

Bergman terrific

 

[morell]

Didn't like our centre midfield mix from the very start, we need a scrapper in there to compliment JHF because Draper is going to bathe Teakle.

Nek minnit...

We're better than them everywhere else though IMO

 

[Frank Hansen II]

Our guys never bloody look before they kick inside 50!

They know the dangerous spots to kick to but forget that our forward structure does not exist. So no-one is home when they send it in blind.

 

[BR108]

I can't watch Teakle run around in a Port strip anymore. What's Sammy Hayes doing? Ill shout him a few darts if that's what it takes.

 

[Pappagallo]

ESSENDONS HIGHEST FIRST QUARTER FOR THE YEAR AND THEYVE PLAYED THE HAWKS GIANTS AND SUNS BRILLANT!

 

[TazD]

 

[JUSTWORK]

This is embarrassing

 

[Jojay]

Absolutely slaughtered in the middle. Teakle ain't the answer.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Boy, us Mongs and typical average punters predicted this centre clearance dominance… how aren’t a coaching panel, paid 7 figures, able to analyse and construct a game plan to at least nullify it?

But Hinkley will coach from the bench and stick it up the knockers when we win…

Our inability to be flexible through the Hinkley years has and continues to cost us.

Where is this ‘arrogance’ emanating from? You earn the right to be ‘arrogant’ because your structure is best in the comp and you win premierships, not play a couple of Perlims within a decade…

We are boring, stale and stagnant, very UNLIKE Port Adelaide. Winning covers the cracks, like I said last week Teakle wasn’t costing us games and it’s hard to be dropped from a winning team, this week Teakle is costing us.

 

[PAFC66]

Absolutely walk over. Great coaching ken

Sam Draper is the playing like prime max gawn, bin tinkle is worse than a sedated Scott lycett.

 

[gtrxuone]

Jeez terrible start to the 2nd.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Why is Dyl Williams the tallest bloke on the line?

[hammo24]

our midfield players are dog shit in the middle get JFH in now

 

[gbear]

lol typical Ports

 

[Nelso]

Great defending on the goal line.

Where are the other Port players?

 

[philthy05]

Langford having a career best game.


How often does that happen to us?

How often do non-elite players rise to elite status in games against us?


If I was a player manager I wouldn’t let my player sign a contract until after they play port.

 

[JUSTWORK]

We’ve not turned up today, typical what happened power game.

 

[GoPorts]

Why is Williams the only player on the line

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Lol why is Williams on the line haha

 

[Grave Danger]

Wines 1 touch no clearances no metres gained no tackles

Only 53% tog, but unless he's injured that's just hopeless.

 

[stewie griffen]

Shortest bloke in the squad on the line

Sigh
