Review Round 12, 2024 vs Carlton

[HinkleysHeroes]

Review-

We are coached really really badly

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Lol they have all been taught not to give a **** what fans think, so there is no implied pressure there.

White noise now

Timmy basically said that a lot of our guys were soft when it really mattered and that when Jack was coaching, he would tell the players are half time that the Port fans know when you take small steps or when you go off the line of the ball or don't back into a pack and then lamented that we needed that hardness in the team because we've lost it.

You guys played ok except the last quarter wasn’t so good.

Ken looked happy though so that’s something.

 

[Coobk001]

What's the record at Adelaide oval against top 8 opposition in night games? Like 5% now?

Around 33% still. However it'd drop if Essendon miss the 8

 

[Rash]

But guys here keep telling us it was Rozee who’s the flat track bully?

he had 23 touches with 15 contested, he got tagged, hes not going to set the world on fire.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Boak is a loser. Always has been, always will be. He's absolutely pathetic.

If he’s a loser it is only because he stayed with Port.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Big game
National Stage
Favourite to win

Same result

Again

[Peninsula Boy]

You could tell that Timmy was pretty angry at the lack of effort and overall soft play and he kept it together for half an hour of people calling in but one of the callers hit the nail on the head and Timmy said as much as he could without the possibility of being censored by the club.

It was heartfelt and how the fans are feeling.

Tredrea making excuses

This is the official, internal directive. It's a problem with the players. The club is annoyed about not having access to players of a higher calibre in VFL, the club wants a reserves side.

After 10 years where almost everything has changed over: new facilities, new home ground, new list, new line coaches - there's still yet another missing piece which means that Hinkley isn't the problem.

Lol you’ve been levelling dumb ass bullshit claims non stop on this thread, calling him worse than Dixon etc.

you’re an absurd caricature.


Todd was the least of our issues. Never got a one on one while down the other end they find one on ones galore (despite us recruiting an army of key defenders) Got to contests. Got a clutch goal and goal assist from a damn good kick out of that cluster**** of a game.


In any other forward line we would be playing to his strengths and hitting him one on one or on the lead. But we’re not, we’re the least efficient forward line in a gameplan that hampers our kfs, especially those not called Charlie Dixon, and Todd’s still competing.

And ya been filling it up with garbage stats about how Todds shit form is Dixons fault

hilarious take on toddy’s game..go back and watch him compete, you’ll have to look hard. Mostly one handed efforts, half efforts or no efforts.. he did fall over quite a bit, do they count.

I’d say 99% of the fans there bar the happy clappers and yaself know he uncompetitive.

He’s garbage and ya know it.

 

[Bump Bailey]

Boring game. Non-existent atmosphere in the stadium. We lost.

Three strikes you’re out.

 

[njk123]

Ken is the loser. I’m no fan of nicks but if he was grinning walking into a presser after losing a home game ….

 

[Palpatine_Power]

This list is cooked and we need to bottom out to trade in some actual talent rather than topping up with spuds from other teams. It’s the Hawthorn strategy without the success

All can stink, Todd doesn't get a free pass because others were worse


I think the frustration with marshmallow- has there EVER been a more fitting rename?- is that he has so much potential but never ran hard at a contest. after what..
5 seasons...7?? we've seen enough

the guy is soft. that's not a had thing. that's the person you want dating your daughter. but as a big player in professional contact sport you get found out

he's a known quantity. he's hit ho's ceiling. he's dougal Howard at the other end of the ground. good for a few nothing games at another club. would not be missed.

leading to a ball is not a complicated concept. for some reason he seems to think you only do that 2 or 3 times a game

ceiling hit. known quantity, apparent figjam attitude.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Monumentally destroyed by collingwood
Embarrassed by Adelaide
Humiliated at home by carlton

Imagine if we played a good team!

 

[wayb2912]

Wines was easily our best player and kept us in it with Butters and JHF tagged.

In fact, Wines is legitimately the only player on our list that I trust will step up for the big games

Lol this is so wrong. Wines, Boak, Dixon all fail when things get tough. We will never win nothing with them in the side

Base callers on AA with base comments

These clowns including WGT love it as they don’t have to answer the hard questions

The board position is just a stepping stone to paying off his COVID debt
Tredders doesn’t get or has forgotten what we really stand for

It’s like a mind washing disease

Tredders knows more than we do. There's likely a succession plan in place to deal with Ken already. It's likely squared away, with everyone on board. Not much else can be done about it, so he toes the line.

He's now parroting the official rhetoric about it being a problem with the players to give the reserves shit some gravitas.

 

[Papa G]

What do we do from here. We've completely and utterly confirmed we are just not a contender.

Honestly, do we just literally start barracking for losses?

I really don't know what we do from here.

We're in absolute no man's land.

A few cheap wins from here, somehow fluking top 8, maybe still top 4 from here mean absolutely nothing. Winning minor round games is absolutely pointless when you have zero potential to achieve anything beyond that.

Dude we were at that point a very long time ago. Welcome to reality.

 

[TeeKray]

We just got physically dominated all night. We look great with ball in hand but when they have the ball it's just far too easy for big bodied teams like Carlton to waltz through us and leave us grabbing with one arm at thin air. In the end the pressure built and built and we collapsed completely.

We have so many players who regularly put in weak efforts. You get away with it against poor teams but the better teams make you pay. Burton's defensive efforts are truly pathetic. Marshall picks and chooses when to compete. Farrell is extremely weak in the contest. Houston for all his strengths is a liability when he has to defend.

Lots of players had nightmare games. Dixon didn't get near it. Zerk-Thatcher was horrendous. Jones reverted back to his continually overrun the ball panic merchant self. Soldo got destroyed by the Dutch Milk Maid.

MG obviously the main positive. He hasn't looked that good in years.

I’m assuming one of your mates gave you a vitamin C tablet which was actually LSD.

 

[Capital Power]

Except that he's now up to 260 strikes...

 

[PowerBaz]

I noticed the atmosphere pre game is dead. People know what’s coming, but I’m hearing more ‘sack Ken’s’ - so that’s good.

 

[TeeKray]

He's just another Ken defender now. Starts everything with "I'm not defending the coaches but...."

Lol, calm down. Warren is not a Ken fan at all. He will do what he was put on the board to do before his term expires. Of that I'm sure.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Mcentee putting mean pressure on Curnows thigh was a real highlight on an otherwise rough night. If not for his golden defensive efforts (only seen by behind the goals footage) we surely lose by more.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Is it just me or do we have a whole heap of terrible ball handlers in defence?
