Game Day Ports vs. Saints

[raptalia]

When the ump taps his leg it means for the other umpire in the middle to rotate zones they're in I believe.

Thanks for that. He was explaining something to Trengove while he was doing it but he could have been communicating with the other two blind mice.

 

[raptalia]

Haven't seen the replay but I think it was called for tripping. I assumed at the time Jacki had reached for the ball and made relatively minor contact with a Saints players leg. So of course they called it.

Ump zone changes, they sort of pat their hip or arse.

I have seen the replay and it was just as hard to understand it on the replay. I got the impression that it was for tunneling or something similar. It is hard to see that Trengove did anything to interfere with the Saints player as Jacko was flat on his stomach when contact is made. Stupid rule and even sillier interpretation.

Lights on, sun is out and it's raining. Feels like Melbourne.

 

[OneGreatClub]

nice come back - well done

hope you guys roast your bandwagon fairweather 'supporters' who left the game early

Do you roast yours?

 

[Troopsy]

I know everyone says not to blame umpires for a loss, but this is absolutely bullcrap

Never has eating my own words tasted so delicious

 

[philreich]

Umpire 12 can go eat a bbc

As I said elsewhere, is there any truth to the rumour that the umpires were Alan Richardson, Molly Meldrum and Shane Warne?

 

[Port 2004]

St Kilda aren't shit either.. they hammered Richmond remember... Riewoldt plays and they win comfortably.

Wingard plays we win by 4 to 6. Seriously.

 

[Port 2004]

Wish heaps didn't leave...

Seriously I am sick of people carrying on because people left with two ****ing minutes to go. Like I said in a previous thread, if we had lost nothing would be mentioned of it. Not like ****ing crows supporters who leave with 20 minutes to go so they don't miss the ****ing bus.

 

[Port 2004]

West coast are shit.

Do you ever ever have anything good to say about the team that you supposedly support.

 

[Port 2004]

True. Just think a extra tall would of been a sealer for them

In the rain? Wingard would have been far more valuable in those conditions than Roo.

 

[PowerForGood]

My only point is that we are not the only team in AFL that looks like sh*t from time to time. The only consistently good squad this season is the Adelaide Crows. All others are unworthy of being in the Top-8 if we are not worthy.

that looks like sh*t from time to time

"from time to time"???????? is this a slight exaggeration I thought we have looked liked poo for a substantial amount of time.

And yet the Crows were 50 points behind a team which has been slowly getting smothered this year and will sack their coach.....
Even the Crows.

Have to say that Impey's last possession turnover was really disappointing and almost undoes anything he's done for us.

I just don't understand. We needed to go forward and he picks the safest option he could. And furthermore he ****s up what should have been a simple kick that gains no ground for us. It's like been the story of his career. One of the greatest physical specimens we've had at the club but like no actual ability.

 

[Us against the rest]

Gray is our best mid along with Ryder in Ruck so why play him as a forward. Wingard is a forward so why make him a mid fielder. Sam is really a mid so why now a small forward. These sort of changes imo is what stuffed Hammer up.
Hope Ken learned something out of that game because we are now playing a defender as a forward.

Did you even watch the game?

They missed 6-7 sitters 20m out some of them straight in front. Absolutely got out of jail.

Yeah all the time .. recently not really but happy to get the 4 points. Hard to be positive untill we make a statement.

I agree with te first sentence. Your second sentence is not accurate. Wingard in the midfield must happen in the next few years. And he's more than proven that he's capable

Doctor Feelup is aging terribly.

Because Gray has soundness issues.
The worry is now can his groins hold up to the extra load he is now forced to take on.

Wingard is a much better full time mid than Gray now. Gray is probably one of the best impact mids in the game. They are being used perfectly IMO.

Which is what we've done for most of the year. Could have easily won another three games this year if we could kick straight.

You won't acknowledge Port being the better side in those instances though.

It wasn't a bad choice. If he hit it over Ebert's head we were on. It was horrific execution.

Not saying it hasn't worked with Chad but Ryder and Gray seem to have a better understanding together, like Lade to Burgoyne.

If he he gets that sort of quality from Ryder i am sure he will be fine.

It's ok to have Chad in the midfield, just saying Ryder and Gray are a better mix.
My point overall is, why does Ken want to make forwards out of defenders, mids out of small forwards, all these changes are not the natural positions for players imo. In 2014 where was Chad, Robbie, Trengove, Hartlett all playing and how were we going then. Dixon is also being played to far from goal so that puts pressure on Gray to have to jump and run to mark against taller opposition. Dixon was recruited as goal kicking forward, i want to see him marking in the goal square not an undersized forward.
