Game Day R1: Port v Brisbane

[StuMan]

Derm trying to get a fellow thug off report. Shocking.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Dermott is a ****ing imbecile

 

[philthy05]

Because he injured the collarbone doesn’t mean he didn’t hit the head Dermott you ****ing moron

 

[Memphis]

Anyway Im off to sleep, will watch the second half on replay.

Some thoughts...
Good signs in the team, it honestly feels like we're a decent forward coach away from competing.
Houston been great, BOG so far for me.
Mead showing some decent signs. Doesnt need to be a star just needs to be competent depth and he looks it right now.
Bonner hasnt slowed from the prelim. One mistake but has gone in hard.

We need to pick our defensive match ups better. They are running rampant when AA goes off. Fort and Daniher are good, but they shouldnt be this hard to contain. Really need to see Skinner get a run asap.

Good idea.

 

[Mr Experience]

Marshall has conceded the election (after being harassed on the way to the podium by someone who looked like Elspeth)

 

[philthy05]

Mitch has to get done for weeks for that.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Aliir was holding Daniher and giving him a bath until he got injured, McKenzie only went onto Daniher after the Aliir injury. The defence was holding up until Aliir went down.

Yep exactly.

We need a plan b for every player on the ground. Cant just get wrecked with one injury.

 

[PJ Power]

Burton has kept Charlie Cameron very quiet, which is a really good effort.

Burton, Drew, Houston and Amon have stepped up tonight.

 

[Ant Bear]

Brisbane are a bunch of diving,, flopping flogs!

Drew doing a great defensive midfield job.
Burton destroying Cameron.
Houston and Amon looks like a winning wing combo.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Ken to the fans on round 1

 

[PJ Power]

Surprised by how quiet Rozee continues to be and Butters hasn’t had a particularly good night

 

[Power freak 2008]

Not only was there a mismatch with Allir gone, it means that we were down a rotation which was when Brisbane got back into it. Another thing about this game is that Bonner, SPP, and Houston looking good. I am so far happy with what I have seen in terms of something to look forward to. The load of winning the ball is shared amongst more players meaning Boak and Wines can play even better.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Lycett is a mid tier ruck at best and pretty much always has been

He's going alright tonight. Happy with Scooter so far

 

[AFC AFeederClub]

Throw mg to chb, he might as well the forward entry is terrible

 

[Power freak 2008]

Surprised by how quiet Rozee continues to be and Butters hasn’t had a particularly good night

Rozee is playing forward and Butters has had some fumbles but I like the way he tries to create opportunities when he has ball in hand.

 

[ROBBBO]

Burton DBJ Houston playing well

Drew Boak Ollie on top.

Lycett struggling

Keep winning that midfield lads

 

[Portwon]

Thought we dominated major aspects of the game which I wasn't expecting and should be a reasonable amount ahead.

Game will break open a bit more just hope it's us that does it

 

[Contested Marx]

Wayne Carey and Luke Darcy

Princes of Logic

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Joe Daniher had a peak Port Adelaide moment

 

[rogerjames]

We need Skinner to step up. Losing Alliir is very bad.

Good idea.

 

[PJ Power]

We need Skinner to step up. Losing Alliir is very bad.

Agree - losing Duursma not great either

 

[Ford Fairlane]

SPP has some hair tearing skill moments but he puts the frighteners on like no one else.

Excrpt maybe Lachie Conan Jones.

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

I'm kinda happy. yeah it's another rd 1 scrappy night match in Brisbane. but we just are our own worst enemy with our f50 entry spazmodo ideas, yet again

we are going no where this year. there is simply no focal f50 strategy of player. and Dixon isn't it.

I'm glad i can see this early in the season. my weekend won't be dictated by when we play and how we play.

winning tonight will be a make the finals 8 pointer outcome.

we can do it. but it needs small crumbling forward luck it would appear

which doesn't go all the way in September

 

[Contested Marx]

However bad young Todd's evening is, he can at least be sure he's not the worst Marshall tonight

 

[kdavva]

Signed a 2 metre swing man, if Aliir doesn’t come back on we gotta swing him
