Game Day QF2 - Port Adelaide vs Geelong - Friday 7:50 @ AO

[xtatik222k]

It should of been the end of the Scott ers after the melbourne final 3 years ago.

now surely this is it.

the Sideways kicking has cost us this game.

Making finals constantly is too financially lucrative for the club - I think their hands are tied. If we keep making top 4, he's not going anywhere.

Let's not be all doom and gloom yet - last year we lost the qualifier and made the GF.

 

[Micksy]

We are going to win this game.
It's another 4 days til September.

Why is Rohan in defence?

Why is Rohan back in D 50....

That didnt help.

GO Catters

They moved him with about 5-7 minutes to go and pushed Duncan up around the ball to try and get it into a f50
It didn’t work

 

[Kyuss]

Same story every year unfortunately.
And we are getting injuries at the wrong time of year.
Stewart has left a big hole.
But that is compounded by our midfield being invisible.

Last year proved its not over losing first week but got to say this is disheartening.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Henderson playing himself out of a contract. Incredible half.

Hendo always been a good intercept mark and good reader of the play. The negative is he's no good one on one when the ball goes in there quickly

If this isn’t Hendos worst game I don’t know what is.
They’re just picking us apart, Guthrie non existent, Menegola needs to get involved.
Dangerfield does not cope well with big game nerves.

Still capable from here but bloody hell it’s gonna be tough

The final where Hawkins got suspended and we played Hendo forward was probably worse. But he’s been WOG by far.

 

[catscratchfever]

Difference in the game has been Stewart out. Pretty simple

If that's the case then we're not good enough anyway. It's the mids that are losing the game for us, not the defence. The number of times Port have scored from rebounds is ridiculous. A lot of that is the midfielders not running back hard enough after hoofing and losing the ball to their defence.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Theyve gotta be hiding a Danger injury from us right?
Played 39 minutes out of 60 tonight.. and he should be super fresh after his bench time last week.

Had absolute no influence on the game whatsoever.

The club doesn't care about winning finals. As long as they are there abouts in home and away and keep the money rolling in, that's enough.

 

[_cam]

I feel like ive seen this all before

 

[Strange Cat]

Bews out too

can’t see us winning tonight …I’m really over these poor final performances

 

[Vivy]

No way. Kolodjashnij is the worst footballer in the league. Gets games.

Blicavs is a liability under pressure. In defence.

Z.Guthrie the same. Gets games

I could go on.

Way too much say from the outside looking in.

We have been leaking like a sieve for 3 years once the ball gets in there. The most I hear about it from people at Geelong is that it's always the fault of the midfield. At some point we have to actually defend in our own 50 when it's one on one

 

[SkittleCats]

If you're surprised by this performance then i dunno what to tell you.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

I heard we're steeled and galvanised to play our best footy tonight.

Maybe this is it

the Sideways kicking has cost us this game.

We got beaten in the midfield that quarter.

But that one where Kolo had two guys by themselves straight ahead in space in the centre square but hesitated, hesitated and bombed it wide and long to Aliir just shows how bad habits are ingrained.

 

[calder_daddy]

The final where Hawkins got suspended and we played Hendo forward was probably worse. But he’s been WOG by far.

Only bonus with that, a bad game up forward isn’t as critical as a bad game in the backline

 

[jezza1435]

Need a clean out.

They won't. Mason Cox and Shaun Burgoyne for our first 3 picks you watch.

 

[year of the cat]

Hopefully the club finally realizes that we are going no where. Start a proper rebuild.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Finals Rohan showed up again. I actually wouldn't play his next week. Having said that, he's probably the least of our problems

[scooterstar]

It's been the same every year. The coach can't get the players mentally right for finals. It's been time for a change for years, being in the top 4 for finals every year is great only if you can deliver on that!

NEW VOICE NEEDED

 

[nohairandfair]

It's a final, it's Hawks 300th ... and it's a rabble.

 

[smotherking]

I had genuine belief for this game. That was putrid. At least last year we could say we probably ought to have won and had confidence going into next week. This second half isn’t gonna be pretty I think

 

[Pollywaffle]

One should not be slipping in such fashion. It's hardly what I'd call dewy conditions.

No, dew is a big thing here in Adelaide. Players have been slipping and slidin for years.

 

[catman2006]

Well that was a shocking time to put worst 1st half in ages, doubt Scott can do much when we are winning clearences and even on inside 50's

 

[WaxiesDargle]

Reckon Cam Guthrie is at risk of putting in.. any... effort tonight?
At all.

Been trying to figure out what the hell has happened to Guthrie. Can’t believe how much his form has dropped off. The amount of times I’ve seen him plodding behind his opponent tonight, looks disinterested.
