Game Day Round 11, 2023 vs Richmond at MCG

[PJ Power]

Don't mind Richmond getting back into the game I want to see Port work hard for any win. I can already see the conceit emerging in this club on the back of 7 wins in a row. Can't stand it when I see Port getting g ahead of themselves they have achieved absolutely nothing yet.

That’s what it looked like through that quarter.

Probably never be a serious side until soft ***** like Bonner are gone, getting Amon off the books was a start.

1st quarter 17 x I50. the first 5 or 6 I50s were shit, we then improved and end up with 5.4.

2nd quarter 17 x I50 a lot of them poor, but many of our forwards fumbled and stuffed up and 2 or 3 poor kicks on goal and we produced 0.5.

We don't have enough elite talent in our forward line with Dixon, Marshall, Georgiades and yes rarely plays Fantasia all out.

 

[Windy Cindy]

We must kick the easy goals..

Just keep missing the gettable ones

Very frustrating

In the first quarter we were consistently first to the ball around stoppage, second quarter our midfield seemed to be on the back foot a little.
Richmond have definitely up their pressure and we haven’t responded.

Our execution and decision making, both in terms of field kicking and goal kicking has been horrible. Isn't helped by the forward line we have our today.

Some guys who usually do it quite well are having poor games in that regard, JHF and Butters

That we got suckered into matching a first round bid on mead is mind boggling.

Together with jones (physically developed medium defenders being talked up as top draft picks just doesn’t ****ing happen)

We’re the only team that doesn’t seem to get the (player is already attached to them so let them slide) bonus instead having ours go like 20-40 picks earlier than they should.

I was vocal in the lead up to mead and jones drafts that both players should be 30-50.


As for mead, I said predraft he’s too slow to be an outside player, he’s not getting a chance inside

His best pre draft asset was his kicking and that’s just been a complete nothing at afl level.

 

[Stryke]

Burton is a waste of time up forward.

 

[Poo Eckert]

Needs to get back in defence.

You can swing him up there time to time but shouldn't be playing full games up there

Burton here’s too many foot steps.

 

[Marmozet]

Only thing I can say is hopefully there’s a breeze going that way

 

[Mikey13G]

That second quarter was diabolical. If Richmond wasn't as inaccurate we'd be losing at half time.

 

[TeeKray]

No point criticising Burton, it's not his fault the entire forward line has fallen over.

We need to adjust our tactics accordingly and find a way to move the ball forward that doesn't involve just kicking it long and hoping.

 

[PJ Power]

Burton is a waste of time up forward.

If he just attacked the footy and forgot about Grimes, he’d be fine. The defensive, play from behind, negative strategy he has taken into this match-up is not helping us. Grimes is playing well and still intercepting often enough and we’re not putting any offensive pressure into him.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Too many players going through the motions hoping their teammates will do all the hard work. A good team will respond after the break, a pretender won’t.

1st quarter 17 x I50. the first 5 or 6 I50s were s**t, we then improved and end up with 5.4.

2nd quarter 17 x I50 a lot of them poor, but many of our forwards fumbled and stuffed up and 2 or 3 poor kicks on goal and we produced 0.5.

We don't have enough elite talent in our forward line with Dixon, Marshall, Georgiades and yes rarely plays Fantasia all out.

You'd think a day like today would be made for small forwards, nothing from Junior, SPP not getting most of his effort Jed quiet 2nd quarter, DBJ doesn't come across as a forward who plays on instinct, not sold on Burton up front either.

Do we look at mixing it up on swing Burton back and try Jones, Farrell or mess with Williams head and give him a quarter?

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Bergwoman forward

Burton could take a much more positive, play from in front, mindset to his role

Kenny sounding like a meth affected Yoda

 

[Manhattan Bronx]

Burton down back

 

[Power Raid]

thanks kenny

 

[Rogue Robot]

Starting to rain, and solidly too

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Idk why everyone is blaming Hinkley for a goalless quarter.

He’s not the one kicking all the points

Really weird thing to post

 

[BornPort]

Good start.

 

[stewie griffen]

Better start
