Review Round 1 Showdown v Port at Alberton Oval

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Do Sarah and Jess Allan have any brothers?

 

[JP Sauce]

Silly Jones

Her tackling has been elite though!

 

[crows dude]

Great tackle Jonsey

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Dixon cannot stfu about Port what a dickrider

How did such a mediocre player get such a cushy media gig?

 

[Brett Cummings]

Eloise jones> murphy

You know its true.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Ponter on the ground injured and umpire balls it up.

 

[Firewalker]

She does stuff like that too often, biggest weakness as a player

Yep, there she goes again

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Nice one Judas .

 

[JP Sauce]

Eloise jones> murphy

You know its true.

True, but almost anything and anyone > Murphy

 

[Firewalker]

Send a tub each to Prowse & Jones

 

[Southerntakeover]

Having listened to the commentary we have no choice but to accept that we have lost this game.

 

[GreyCrow]

We're the Pride of South Australia

 

[jackster83]

Sack Hinkley.

 

[dblstR]

Ah the song being played at alberton, beautiful

 

[ams4crows]

Marinoff put in another great shift at the coal face.

 

[Crow_68]

Love the endeavour but the skills continue to deteriorate year on year.

Talent is spread too thin unfortunately.

 

[FR0GGY]

This looks like a china game.

Disagree. Standard is miles better than season one.
But progress has slowed in recent years for sure.

 

[JP Sauce]

Hahahaha Boileau copped it!

 

[BRL121]

She does stuff like that too often, biggest weakness as a player

She's cooked, like last year.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Marinoff with a well-deserved medal. Lead the mids all night.

Did what we had to do to win, but there's a lot to work on if we want to contend this season. Forward targets continue to be a problem and we can't afford cheap goals like Port got tonight.

 

[jackster83]

When is Gould back?

We definitely missed her tonight.

 

[Firewalker]

Stat wise might show a dominance but it ended up being a little bit of a lucky win built on not much system.

Clarke was really stubborn tonight basically said - well you want to play a a heavy contested based territory game we’ll do that. Unfortunately due to either rustiness or bad positioning they were left vulnerable/got sucked into Port’s Mourinho-esque ‘park the bus’ counter attack.

 

[BRL121]

I've never seen so many air kicks, 1-m kicks, and mis-kicks as Port Adelaide managed tonight!
Our tackling and inside spoiling was very good.

Agreed

Defensive skills, fitness etc will improve faster than skill level (because they're easier)

Will take a little while for footskills, marking, ball handling to catch up. At the moment the pressure causes errors and can make for untidy passages.

I was pleased with some of our handball work around stoppages. Quite clean, released players on the outside
