Review Round 12, 2024 vs Carlton

[longdonkey]

As I said in the pre-game thread we shouldn't have played Dixon or Soldo and played an extra small.

Don't think it would have made any difference though. For someone who has all these learning he sure does seem to repeat the same mistakes.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Evans is on the podium as the worst player to be fielded in the AFL side.

If you look in the dictionary for 'plod' it's just a picture of Evans. I don't think I have ever seen him take more than one step with the ball

v Evans would be an interesting running race. My money would be on skinner

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

Oh please, if he went and played at Geelong when they tried to pick him up he'd be considered an AFL legend by now. He has his limitations but in better teams it would have been less noticeable. He's been a solid warrior for us, yeah probably time to hang them but to say he's absolutely pathetic, is absolutely pathetic.

Sorry, but that's bullshit.

 

[Portmagpies36]

I'm by no means Marshall fan #1 .... but he does better without being in this ridiculous KickItToCharlieHinkleyBall forward line. I'd like to see what happens for a year with no Dixon. If still shit ... trade.

Dixon or no Dixon his efforts just aren’t good enough

 

[Phar Ted]

Timmy just let fly on 5AA.

and?

 

[gbear]

It's funny how anyone with half a brain knows this team is as far away from even making a grand final as it has ever been in this peanuts tenure. Yet the board and management just keep gobbling at this failed coaches chode.

Too many brain washed ****ers still out there

 

[tribey]

What a ****ing campaigner.

As relatable as Heinrich Himmler. Absolute p¡sstake.

 

[Rising Power]

Whocares . They deserve it. Another rabble that's gone past us under ken.

We're heading down the same road

 

[philthy05]

You forgot ya mate Marshall.. thoughts?

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.

 

[gbear]

Tredrea making excuses

 

[Doctor Feel]

Where is Maddie Wines or whatever. Didnt she lay the bangdown on Hinkley a few years back or am I dreaming

 

[PJ Power]

I'm intrigued as to what the fabled "succession plan" is going to yield. I don't see our midfield grabbing games by the horns (pun intended) when they're there to be won. If we continue with our policy of nepotism, we're never going to see any new ideas or methods, regardless of who's in Donuts' chair.

This. Carr is no better.

 

[gbear]

Hope the bogan players enjoy their mid season trips to Bali.

 

[avs]

That chingotta guy absolutely tore butters a new @sshole

Butters can not shine at every game but other guys were doing at midfield ....

 

[Peninsula Boy]

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.

 

[Rowd072]

No he doesn’t.. I saw him pull out from numerous contests.. he’s not even remotely competitive..

There was ball to be won at half forward southern end.. where he had the chance to win a footy and got beaten by a more desperate Boyd? Cincotta?.. sums him up..

Yep, was in front of me. Todd did not want to know about it.

 

[ibd77]

Timmy just let fly on 5AA.

Transcript please.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Dixon or no Dixon his efforts just aren’t good enough

He's a confidence player, and right or wrong, he plays a lot better when the big lug is not out there.

FFS ... I've been a massive critic of Marshall's game, particularly his softness, over the years, but I also like to be a bit more considered than a lot of the "there's only black or white, there's no shades of gray" types around here. No trade until we can trial him Dixonless for an extended period.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

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

 

[HINKLEY OUT]

Oh please, if he went and played at Geelong when they tried to pick him up he'd be considered an AFL legend by now. He has his limitations but in better teams it would have been less noticeable. He's been a solid warrior for us, yeah probably time to hang them but to say he's absolutely pathetic, is absolutely pathetic.

All he cares about is being a good human being. He has said that many times. Meanwhile, players that are around his age such as Selwood (who we could have drafted), Dangerfield and Pendlebury are all serial winners and only care about winning Premierships. Boak doesn't care about winning at all which makes him a loser and pathetic.

[Alberton Proud]

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

 

[Powerade 08]

That game was peak Lachie Jones. Looked reliable in the first quarter, disappeared for a bit, came back to terrorize us in the second half. absolute piss blasting shit taker

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