Review Round 14, 2023 vs Geelong

[spookism]

Nothing will ever be funnier than Marshall being paid that mark.

The first time the rub of the green went our way and we rode that all the way home

 

[Macca_1870]

It'll be a travesty to not see this group on the MCG on the last Saturday.

Our brand is so ****ing good to watch.

 

[dirty2]

I did say in the preview that the only way we lose is if we get ahead of ourselves...

 

[Powertron]

McAntee and DBJs work on Tom Stewart was exceptional.

I’ve been a big critic of those two and they absolutely made me eat my words.

 

[TazD]

I'm still one week at a time and will be for the rest of his tenue but I'd be a liar if I said I haven't been enjoying how we're playing.

 

[tangolikelama]

I repeat, Miles Bergman kept Cameron to 1 goal...

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Should Dixon be playing? completely on one leg

With that win in the bank we can afford to rest Dixon for a decent stretch.

McKenzie should've gone the barrell back over Tuohey's head after marking that barrel.

That's what I wanted to see.

[PJ Power]

Nothing should be wrong with his hands marking though.

He couldn’t launch or get in front of his man tonight. In retrospect could have played Lord without losing anything.

 

[philreich]

This team is a machine.

To quote Mike Tyson, How dare they challenge us with their primitive skills

Yep - if you can't play 4 quarters against this mob, you'll pay a very heavy price. Exciting times ahead.

 

[MrMeaner]

That is absolutely the kind of game we would have lost, maybe after making a small comeback but never getting in front. There is something different about the team this year.

 

[Handyandy]

Geelong fully bought in and got a good old proper lesson

 

[finbarr]

A damn good win. We couldn’t cope with Geelong’s slick ball movement in 1st qtr then got back into the game in the 2nd. We were clearly the better team in the second half

It's almost like there's now a guy in the coaches box who can see the rot setting in, can change things up to halt the opposition team's momentum, then wrestle all the momentum back in his team's favour, rather than have a squeamish guzzle of a cola drink that contains artificial sweeteners.

 

[Us against the rest]

Great turn around, Carr with some good tactical coaching, well done

 

[Macca19]

****ing

[gbear]

This team has the potential to do something remarkable.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Yep - if you can't play 4 quarters against this mob, you'll pay a very heavy price. Exciting times ahead.

You don't want to kick it near JHF. He will torch you.

 

[Ant Bear]

Great win. Looked like a team that had consecutive 6 day breaks in the first - fumbling, dropping marks, hanging back off contests and really loose checking. It continued in the second, but then we clicked into gear, and ramped up the pressure.

Geelong just couldn't cope with the wave running, depth kicking and extra height in the forward lines, and it came off the back of ruck domination by Lycett, clean clearances through Butters and Rozee, defensive clamping by McKenzie on Rohan, Allir on Hawkins and Bergman was superb on Cameron.

McEntee performed an amazing forward tagging job on Stewart, and was rewarded late; SPP bulldozed the ball forward, Wines stuck his ample frame over the ball and Finlayson and Marshall finished the job.

Huston was just about our best, he attacked the ball with venom and used it well, but JHF had a shocker with his form and gave away too many frees. Narkle also needs a shout out on his club debut, he worked really hard and was one of the sparks that turned the tide. Sinn showed little things - a bit of feistiness and a good attack on the ball.

On a whimsical note, it appears that training has been willing these past few weeks - Dixon had a cut on his nose last week, and Marshall was sporting a bandaged eye tonight.

Eleven in a row now, and TOP OF THE LADDER, BAYBYYYY!!!

 

[Marmozet]

If we’re fair dinkum then we beat Geelong again at KP later in the year.

 

[Windy Cindy]

How ****ing good is this

This is a real good side we are watching, all doing their job each week.

**** I’m excited.. we torched them

Ahhh... The joy of waking up tomorrow and walking into the office with my held high.... Fück u all!! Port are coming!!!

 

[Lagooner]

Ken’s on the phone. Let’s see if thundercloud has a post that coincides

He’s squibbing a fight with finbarr in the Sack Hinkley thread.

 

[PowerBaz]

RussellEbertHandball Finlayson stood up. Marshall around the ground too.

 

[Buget]

In previous seasons, Port would go down 6 goals to 3 in the first and just roll over.

In previous seasons if the prime movers had an off game, no one would stand up….

Both of those things didn’t happen against Geelong.
