Game Day Round 1, 2023 - Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

[Big Sauce 21]

Harris will have plenty of bags kicked on him this year

 

[Hollow Knight]

Defence picked up from where it left off last year.

Getting left by their midfield to stop a tsunami with a tea cup?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Has a defender once dropped off to help out a teammate?

 

[Elixuh]

Prior on for who? (I have the sound off so I can keep actually watching).

Assume either tunstill or Wilmot

 

[Mayestro]

Jason Horne Francis is amazing. Would love a young talent like him on the list. Power and pace and skills and a midfielder.

Give Ashcroft 12 months like JHF has for fairness.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Worst game McCluggage has played, absolutely clueless

Didn't he have an absolute stinker last year too?

 

[RU_]

Next 3 weeks are going to be ugly if we play like this.

 

[3KZ is Football]

How far behind was Andrews then? AND again!! Not good enough

 

[FFB1]

McCluggage's worst game for us?

Cameron not far behind and he’s had some shockers (probably kicks 5 next week).

 

[FeastOrFamine]

Harris Andrews is a very average defender. Being made to look stupid by a bog ordinary forward... again. Get Payne onto Dixon.

Can't do much with the way the ball is coming in. Starts in the midfield

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Andrews been destroyed by Dixon

Are you surprised? He’s been shit for 2 years. But hey, let’s make him
Captain.

 

[PTizzle]

Isn't it great to have footy back

 

[FFB1]

How far behind was Andrews then? AND again!! Not good enough

Someone elses’s fault

 

[iBeng]

Dunks probably regretting not going to Port now lol

 

[twhowler]

The concern for me is all the same old problems.
Another midfield gets on top and we have no answers and just go in to our shells.
Our kick-in strategy is literally kick long to the same side 95% of the time. And we defend kick-ins assuming the oppo is doing the same.

It seems our genuine strategy is the more they are on top the slower we go, kicking it straight along the boundary.

Look at this list. Talent everywhere.

We have a coaching / gameplan problem.

 

[Nathan Barley]

That’s not 15

 

[StevoJenkins]

I think we’re going to have to get used to this situation this year.
I’ve had a bad feeling about this season since just before the preseason.

 

[alscotoz2]

Cards on the table... Andrews is an average player. Nothing more.

 

[FFB1]

Getting left by their midfield to stop a tsunami with a tea cup?

Yes, I should of been clearer

 

[Nathan Barley]

Ashcroft has been shit

 

[martinson]

Our forwards haven't been given a lot of hope but what I can't stomach is their lack of effort and desperation when Port keep flipping it out.

 

[Dalions]

I think that the Broncos have won the fight for the crowd next Friday night

 

[3KZ is Football]

How much of this loss does Fagan own?

 

[Tom14]

This could get real ugly.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Lol at Gunston in the backline.
