Review Round 1, 2022 vs Brisbane

[HinkleysHeroes]

I saw Marshall head down must've been the exhausting effort he put in for 4 qtrs. Sooooo over this charlatan. Backed him for years and years.

Nuff's e nuff. Take ya lazy laconic cooler than cool persona and show us thru' the sanfl how much you want for the jumper.

F*cken disgusting effort.

Totally agree. Just was not interested at all. Looked like he didn't want to take a mark.

 

[VineValerian]

Watching us play is like pulling teeth.
Rarely any excitement in our style.
Just a concoction of fumbles, skill errors, poor decision making, abominable disposal and dumb game plan.

Predictable ending.

Ad I stated, we were always in the game, even to the extent of being comfortably ahead, but I had no illusions that we would raise our game enough to hold on for a win.

Some excuses with injuries, I grant you, but the facts are, we choked on the big stage - yet again

We don't have the will or the courage to win when it counts. It's all between the ears. Like Groundhog Day every year, like a broken record.

 

[gbear]

It was a valiant effort. Clearly physically cooked with no one on the bench. Mitch Robinson is a grub. He lined Duursma up. That was the key moment of the match.

You are back!

 

[Marmozet]

Houston is elite.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

So many flaky outside players.

As soon as brisbane switched on - we were gone.

From the 10 minute mark of the third it was one way traffic. You just knew we wouldn’t turn the tide.

Boaky can’t keep carrying this team.

Can we just **** ken off and start again.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Lycett on the other hand


Hayes in

Lycett should have been relegated to a backup after getting beaten by a washed up Steph Martin.

 

[ExpectToWin]

Not the reason we didn't win but I really want a stat for scores from free kicks. The umps gifted them a fair few shots at goal. Out of curiosity does anyone know the free kick count for the 4th Q?

I reckon the frees were 22 to 16 our way at 3 qtr time

 

[finbarr]

One day the AFL might be so generous as to schedule Port at home in round 1. Haven't started the season at home since 2018.

"Nah, send 'em to the tropics..."

 

[GremioPower]

I’m pretty sure I have watched this game before:

"INCONCEIVABLE!" (Port 90 - 107 Fitzroy)

The night Port has shot itself on the foot, stood up, seemed fine, but ended up rolling over and dying. It was INCONCEIVABLE ["liar!"], b...

The night Port has shot itself on the foot, stood up, seemed fine, but ended up rolling over and dying. It was INCONCEIVABLE ["liar!"], but it has happened anyway ["surprise!"]. Barracking for Port is to live on the edge of the "Cliffs of Insanity." What can one do, then, but to laugh before his own sad fate?

 

[Sewer de Lance]

If Rozee & Marshall bothered to turn up, we win. Two of the worst individual performances I’ve ever witnessed in Port colours.

 

[gbear]

The frustrating part about that is that we all knew it was coming. Hopefully we honour Russell Ebert with a win next week - assuming we can find 22 fit players after tonight.

There is always Bryce Gibbs

 

[Burningleviathan]

Duurs, Mckenzie all injured and all missing mulitple weeks you would think. Rozee and Alir doing their ankles cost us rotations and we had nothing left.
Some poor moments and decision making especially the Drew one when scores were tied.
In the end i expected us to lose by 30-40 points and get blown out by their midfield. Tough loss and some tough selections coming up but performed better than hoped.

 

[Marmozet]

The moment for me was when it was 61-61 and Drew was going forward. He hit a defender lace out who then dropped it, but then we couldn’t even score a behind, the ball goes down the other end and Aliir dropped that mark.

 

[Brian McGee]

I reckon the frees were 22 to 16 our way at 3 qtr time

10 to 2 Brisbane’s way in the 4th.

 

[PJ Power]

Totally agree. Just was not interested at all. Looked like he didn't want to take a mark.

When you hear the coaches and players applaud what he brings, you understand how our guys don’t improve. Someone needs to tell him it is not acceptable not to go hard at the marking contest. He’s not alone though. Motlop, Rozee, Finlayson and Georgiades were all beaten comfortably by their opponents.

 

[spookism]

Thought it was a terrific finals worthy game of football. Injuries finally killed us off in the end but we competed like we usually never do up there.

Some horrible mistakes hurt us badly, that's on us and has to be worked through.

Some very good performances from young guys like Jones and Mead.

Houston brilliant and Drew is stepping up in midfield.

Could see Skinner and Sinn next week.

I was almost ready to write Jones off at halftime.

Came into the game well in the second half.

Houston's best game for us. Ever?

 

[tribey]

Most people just wanted a good contest. It was a much better performance than I anticipated. We got a close game, team fighting one man down and still in it, and people are still complaining. If we had no injuries we could have won that game.

Most people’s expectations are at an all-time low because the situation sucks and is sooooo predictable.

Injuries or not, p¡ssing that one away was practically preordained.

 

[240volt]

We lost by nothing with no forwards and a coach that has no idea.
Unbelievable when you think about it.

 

[MrPlow]

Tough loss but we’re a young team
Hinkley just needs more time to develop the players and game plan

 

[Palpatine_Power]

A masterclass in how to not win. An absolute exhibition of ineptitude. A total embarrassment and completely in line with everything the club has done for the past 10 years. Awful

 

[Enviable Tradition]

It so good seeing our new employee have a laugh with Robinson as he did on the ground after the game.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Rozee is sh*t and won't make it. Don't @ me.

Im not so sure duursma will either.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Not used to the weather and injuries unfortunately, just wasn’t our day, everything that could go wrong went wrong.

Overall pretty strong performance, skills from both teams were shocking. Just had the fresher legs in the end

It’s round 1, time to move on. Real season starts in September

Yes that's the bad news.

 

[Jonts]

We have a list that would/should win a flag, if not multiple.

But we have a muppet in charge.

Hey the Muppetts deserve more respect than Hinkley

 

[PJ Power]

I want Todd Marshall and Scott Lycett gone

Lycett needs to make way. He’s gone Lobbe on us.
