Game Day R1: Port v Brisbane

[Duckimus Prime]

Aliir was defending.

Daniher was sitting out the back looking for the cheapie

If Aliir is moving off to hit the contest, someone else should be moving to cover Daniher.

Thats the defensive structure that fell apart there. Daniher was actually sitting in a very good position for where the ball would end up from the contest.

 

[Memphis]

He handballed to one of the strongest kicks in the league.

You cannot be blaming Lycett for anything there.

And look what happened. Mckenzie was going to pump it in or go for goal why not just do it yourself instead of the chance of giving it away like we did…

 

[JimmyBC]

Thank god Bonner has taken the ball off McKenzie for the kick ins

Are you in a relationship with Bonner? honestly it's like boy band fandom.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He just needs to simplify his decision making and not try and bite off more than he can chew.

He missed an unpressured pass to a player 20m away. Nothing simpler than that.

But he has been terrific tonight. He gives nothing away in a contest.

 

[rogerjames]

Worried bout both long term

 

[NickFlips]

Worried we will be running on our knees if we can't juice up half these injuries and get some bench rotations. And running on your knees can't be good for them....

 

[Memphis]

We should win from here on I mean both teams playing way below par. One or two more goals should seal it.

 

[Jonts]

Allir for a 2nd rounder

Crippa could get another job on that one alone

 

[PJ Power]

fu** Mitch

Stop trying to get injured

He promises a lot Mitch, but has a long way to go. Has muffed a lot of chances today. At least he’s been near it though. Marshall and Finlayson have provided very little support for most of the night.

 

[RossFC]

Big 2nd and 3rd quarters. Finish them off!

 

[PJ Power]

I cant believe we didn't concede a junk time goal.

We tried.

Not a bad fan club to join

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Because he is great

 

[Contested Marx]

So who's the Bris spud that's gonna turn it on and win it?

 

[tribey]

If I had a dollar for every time we were in a winning position at the Gabba I’d have like, sixteen dollars.

 

[philreich]

We probably should be further in front, but we're in a good position with half an hour to play. Come on Port!!!

 

[Duckimus Prime]

And look what happened. Mckenzie was going to pump it in or go for goal why not just do it yourself instead of the chance of giving it away like we did…

Because McKenzie is a much better kick that is going to give us a better result if he isn't taking it casual.

 

[rogerjames]

He's so BAD I'm uncomfortable

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Ive liked Meady's game. He nullifies the contest and won't give the ball away easily.

 

[Black 18]

If we manage to grab this one it will be a very, very gutsy win.

 

[chiwigi]

**** Dermott hates Port so much .

I’m ok with that.

 

[Coobk001]

I don't think we're playing below par at all. This has been a brutal, tough, hard, high pressure game. Literally finals like pressure in March. The skills have been a little rusty as you expect in round 1, but the greasy conditions have a part to play in that.

I'm very happy with what I'm seeing, we are exceeding my expectations by far, just not sure we can hold on. Kick 2 goals for the quarter and we probably win it. They've kicked 2 each quarter so far, so hang tough and we can win this.

 

[bomberclifford]

WHY IS DERM MOVING LIKE HES HAVING A FIT?

Really solid first game IMO

I've really enjoyed this game. Stick your run and gun bullshit. This has been a war.
