Review Round 1, 2022 vs Brisbane

[johnnysix]

You can't put injuries aside, we were smashed tonight. We weren't killed by injuries though. We were killed by poor execution of skill when it mattered most, and panicked, sh*tting the bed when confronted with momentum and the prospect of winning a big game. We've never lost the deer in the headlights thing. We've never been able to lock up momentum and we've never been ruthless.

• Burton Houston Jones Mead good
• Marshall stamped he’s not making it
• Lycett gassed by early of the third quarter

Coaching related:

• When McKenzie went down Ken and co could have done 50 different coaching moves. I.e send Finlayson back who was doing **** all in the forward line anyway and has experience and height playing as back over say Marshall. Instead chuck Mead who was filling Duursmas role on the wing (pretty well if you ask me) one out with McInerney in the goal square
• When trying to “win” the game we went back to the same old shit. SPP Wines and Boak in the centre square and Butters forward. Same setup that saw us get destroyed by the Doggies in the prelim, they stroll out of the centre

Blood Skinner and Hayes

 

[edgie]

They've had everything go their way in this last term. Umpiring plucking everything out, but honestly the rot started with us. A pathetic last quarter and a bit.

As soon as we got out by 4 goals we stopped.

is a human pos. the only thing i can be thankful for is that we didnt recruit this pos.

 

[gbear]

Lycett poor. KcKenzie (rip) poor. Finlayson poor. Marshall poor. Aliir pretty good but that dropped mark was wowsers.

Lack of contested marking hurt us, particularly in a game where we had no idea how to lead. No foray forward when the game was contested looked remotely convincing. Fast break goals or bust.

Not sure what Hinkley expected here tbh. Same sh*t, different year.

Finlayson won’t be earning anymore than his base payment if he plays like that too many times.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Robbed by umpiring in the last but probably deserved it. The AFL will slowly go down hill if they can't work out the "officiating".

No they weren't.

4 Goals up, then give up the next 10 scoring shots unanswered. Houston from outside 50 out only goal in the last, and him trying again was our only being (other than a rushed). Fumbled more than any side i can remember in the last 1/4, when the heat was on they simply fell apart.

We saw the same mental weakness that has plagued this side for years.

 

[TeeKray]

Im not so sure duursma will either.

Nah, Duursma has guts and determination. Rozee is a show pony without the drive to make it at this level.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Rozee is a soft as fu** prettyboy.

Sad but true.

is a blight on the game, and i'm sick of commentators like Carey apologising for his behaviour. He saw Duursma with his head down and went in hard. Grub.

[gbear]

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

So another 10 years then

 

[240volt]

Rozee is a soft as fu** prettyboy.

I worked that out after last years preliminary final.

 

[Portmagpies36]

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

But we have a muppet in charge.

Our midfield is nowhere near a premiership midfield

 

[Wargreymon90]

Wasn’t Rozee injured? Could barely run the last 3 quarters of the game

 

[Willsy10]

No excuses for that pathetic last quarter

[ElectricG]

So when does Finlayson debut?

 

[PJ Power]

Hayes, Sinn and Skinner should all come in. We also need to figure something else out up forward. You won’t win games with the six we took in today.

 

[Jonts]

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

For the record what is

" Make it"

 

[Lagooner]

Honestly thought we’d get blasted by 10 goals plus so through that lens I’m still shaking my head but it’s certainly not a vigorous head shake just some low to medium level cranial pivoting accompanied by a familiar medley of subtle tut tuts and resigned smirks.

 

[PJ Power]

Wasn’t Rozee injured? Could barely run the last 3 quarters of the game

So that would explain his touchless first quarter and heartless last three?

No excuses? I can think of a couple

 

[VineValerian]

Mentally we are pygmies compared to decent sides.

 

[finbarr]

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

He plays like he had his legs amputated and surgically replaced with stilts.

 

[johnnysix]

What's the verdict with our forwardline tonight?

Terrible, bombing it entries OR the forwards didn't make enough of their opportunities?

 

[StuMan]

Can't wait to go to Adelaide Oval next week for some more exhilarating Port Adelaide football.

See you at the footy.

Urgh...
