Game Day Round 11: Port Adelaide v Essendon, Sund... ah who even cares anymore (4.40pm)

[mike14]

Last 5-10 minutes was ok. We actually managed to apply some forward pressure and make contests

 

[Kyptastic]

Despite the scoreboard we're actually playing ok. That's one of the first times in a while that we've been able to have repeated forward entries. Just need to be 10% better on execution and we're still a chance.

Hobbs, Jones, Perkins and Wanganeen all missed absolute sitters.

We kick those then is 6.5 (39) and we are down by two goals. Execution by foot is killing us everywhere, but especially for goal

The bye can not come quick enough for a team who clearly ****ed up pre-season

If my Aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

Have I said before how much I despise this time slot?

 

[Gruffles]

No dramas with a 50. Would love to know of the 50m penalties given how many of ours result in forward of centre shots on goal. That one was from the back pocket so as meaningless as they can get (as 'nice' as they are)

Going to be honest... our love of giving up red time goals actually meant that 50 carried a lot of meaning for us!

I see you clearly missed the point of my post, and I suspect intentionally.

Good for you

PHILLIPS 4 kicks 1 mark 1 goal. 5 hit outs.. just a pass. Draper 2 kicks 0 marks 8 hit outs. not quite.

Watched the end of the Pies Blues game. Slightly different level of pressure and intensity to what we deliver

Rain just started coming down here.
Hopefully benefits us with their oversized forward line.
We’re really missing stringer though.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

heck them...every player that has kicked a point can do laps of the oval on their hands and knees for punishment. They have 2 weeks for the scabs to heal up.

5 goals is going to be hard to peg back in the rain

Rain wont be doing us any favours, not skilled or clean enough atm.

A bit of masking tape in the top corner of the TV. Not a bad game so far.

Heres the rain. Wonder if the sprinklers have helped us

Or strong enough over the ball

 

[horj89]

At AO and the rain has started. Not our worst performance but just a real lack of polish. The ball is still moving far to easily out of our forward 50.

Maybe not, it might bring down their skills to our level.

I did too - restored my faith in footy as a spectator sport. Has been eroded by watching our games this season.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

9 marks by a first year play at half time is big. And he's not getting cheapies in the backline.

 

[scythe]

It’s a cruel joke that it starts to rain now. Been a beautiful day here otherwise.

Jones making a difference
