Autopsy Review: 2024 QF v. Geelong

[Addy23]

Across every finals series we have had since Ken came on, the opposition are well aware of what we want to do. On the flipside, Ken doesn't like to know what the opposition wants to do, he's repeatedly said the we want to focus on our plan and executing our game.

Now the issue is, when you have a tactical coach like Scott, they take your gameplan away. That creates confusion. You could see in the 2nd minute when DBJ had ball in hand off an intercept mark. Firstly, he wasn't used to being in this position which was a self inflicted wound. Secondly, Scott filled up the corridor and the bomb kick from DBJ rebounded quickly.

Had no plan B and that makes players lose confident, creates confusion and absolutely sucks any momentum whatsoever

 

[EskimoPAFC]

We're a 3-4 man team.

We don't win games because of coaching, gameplan or structure. We win games because Dan Houston

are absolute freaks. Without them we probably are 50/50 against the bottom 4.

I'm honestly not even mad at all about this. A straight sets exit probably still gives us a chance to get rid of Hinkley with a new coach next year. A win would have sent us in to another home prelim embarrassment followed by months of "YoU cAnT sAcK hIm He MaDe A pReLiM!!?!?"

To be fair he doesn't really know their players

Lol the final score

Classic

Good job giving up completely at half time fellas.

[Hammer#8]

Our season along with Rat, Dixon

Why are on of you paying members still.
70000? Who's cats and dogs are cooking the books

Predicted by Kingy!

 

[ahneadearut]

Brilliant recruiting by the Cats. There younger players cut us to shreds . Who said they were old and shite? Looked like a team that could go all the way. We have some top line players but once you get past them we are bog average. Our depth is pitiful. And that's on the morons in charge.

 

[stewie griffen]

Sigh.

Still decidedly angry about that.

Sure there's some (a lot of) anger, but we still have a game to play next week

Sure there's some aspects of match ups, selection and tactics that weren't great, but our playing group would want to have a good hard look in the mirror this morning.

Bar Bergman, drew and jhf they were all decidedly average.

 

[Dazalinko1988]

I can't even be bothered watching next weeks game clearly we are cooked its so draining I think I'm done with the club and football been a passionate supporter all my life 10 years of membership but I'm done now stuck through thick and thin but nothing EVER changes !!!!!

 

[davesnothere]

I think it was disappointing that Dixon wasn't chaired off in his final game.

 

[Portmagpies36]

We're a 3-4 man team.

We don't win games because of coaching, gameplan or structure. We win games because Dan Houston and Zak Butters are absolute freaks. Without them we probably are 50/50 against the bottom 4.

We were embarrassed humiliated and will lose again next week but they still won’t get rid of him.

 

[n4nirvana]

i just feel sad of being continually disappointed, knowing hope is brought by change, but there is no change coming

 

[Portmagpies36]

I think it was disappointing that Dixon wasn't chaired off in his final game.

There’s a few I would have chaired off.

 

[PJ Power]

Jhf tried hard, drew played well enough

Drew’s first fumble, as small a thing as it was in the context of the next 120 min, set a regrettable tone that we never came back from.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Even Warren Tredrea drinks the Kool Aid now, going by his Ken and Koch apologetics in the post game call ins on AA.

Quite sad really

Tredders is well and truly off the reservation, judging by the utter tripe he’s posting on instagram. Car crash stuff

He found out pretty quickly you can’t mess with the Kremlin and now just toes the line like everyone else.

 

[PJ Power]

Meanwhile our younger players were part of us winning our first SANFL wooden spoon.

 

[Expat power]

Hey Expat power how'd you see the night m7 ?

You tagged me? Naaaaaw I had no idea you cared so much I was on a plane with very dodgy wifi so thankfully didn’t see much of it at all.

 

[Windy Cindy]

king highlighting how bad the midfield was.

and our next coach is responsible for this.

We are going now where for a long unless we clean the joint out

 

[Portmagpies36]

Drew’s first fumble, as small a thing as it was in the context of the next 120 min, set a regrettable tone that we never came back from.

The first 5 minutes set the tone, we looked like rabbits in headlights.

 

[GremioPower]

There’s a few I would have chaired off.

 

[Louis Litt]

Jordan Sweet was credited with 51 hit outs. Mind you he did **** all in field play but it has been a while since a Port ruckman had over 50 hit outs in an AFL game.

Finding 5 best players in that fiasco is almost impossible.

Sweet tried hard- in my top 3

 

[Nelso]

You knew there was no coming back when I saw the vision of the players in the changerooms at half time. It was like they had seen a ghost and were shit scared.

Why the hell are we gifting games to McEntee and Evans when for the latter half of the season we should have been playing Lorenz every game.

I am so so glad that I did not fall into the trap of getting my hopes up after some meaningless minor round games.

A number of years ago I would be fuming about a loss like this. Now I simply don't care as this administration has destroyed the club I once loved.

 

[PJ Power]

Still can’t get over how poor Rozee, Wines and Burgoyne were in the midfield. Butters too early. Drew average IMO. JHF not as great as some suggest but him spending so much time on the bench was staggering.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

From his presser: “we cant make wholesale changes at this time of the year we just dont have the personnel available to make those changes” “marshalls played 1 and a half games in 8 weeks”

Absolute cop out dog shit. We have 6 players on our injury list and 1 out with suspension. We have what 44 players on our list thats 37 players available. We have more than the capability to swap out a one armmed ruckman for visentini, Daniel stewart

.whats funny is anything less than an 84 point loss will be seen as a success because aw guys we learnt how cute. We had something like 26 players with finals experience, theyve learnt who hasnt learnt is the “man” thats meant to be leading them. Looks like we’re going around again with the same lot lads.

live by the sword you die by the sword

He’s half right, he doesn’t give a shit about developing anything so the twos are dogshit.

Which is what the football savant Kochie should have said instead of “nah the SANFL is rigged”.

 

[Louis Litt]

Terrible selections and coaching.
Marshall, Lorenz and Sinn have to be ins.
Dixon, McEntee and Evans/Mead/Narkle out.

Not Marshall - he folds all the time
