Run and carry
Defensive pressure
Tackling
0% in all three categories tonight
Plus we are slow as treacle both individually and as a team.
Thank God Port kicked inaccurately or I shudder to think what the margin might have been.

Thank god for Hipwood and Archie for showing us some hope because those guys aside, that's about as low as it gets. Whole place stinks and it goes beyond the coach but as for Leppa it's pretty hard to justify the sort of total structural implosion and lack of effort we saw tonight. Needed a much better follow up to the Essendon win than that. We're even deeper in the hole now.
But Gil is generally pleased... so that's something.

Donald...you sound agitated!
Tackling stats: Robinson had 11. Zorko had 7. Archie and Hammer with 5 each. Rest of the team very poor in this area with 0-2 each bar a couple who had 3-4
It is going to be a huge off season I suspect.
Ideally Hanley would be traded out I think. Has been deplorable this year. Unfortunately he re-signed before the season started and I think he signed up until the end of 2019 or 2020? With that in mind it is unlikely we could facilitate a trade unless he was keen to get out and another club was interested in taking on his salary.

generally pleased needs to be turned into a meme. Unfortunately I'm not sure enough people care or are interested enough to give it significant traction.
I ask again. Who would want him? If he's shit for us, I'm pretty sure he'll be shit elsewhere.

Now averaging over 128 point scored against every week... Crows and Cats games are going to probably push that over 130

Archie and Hammer with 5 each. Rest of the team very poor in this area with 0-2 each bar a couple who had 3-4
weak as. Lester and Harris both donuts, three players "1" and 9 players "2' I know what I be practising at 6am tomorrow in recovery. They just cant stick tackles do they put butter on there hands sometimes with the skills I think they must.

I cannot stand to watch end to end goals anymore.
LEPPA CHANGE THE DEFENSIVE STRUCTURE!!!!!!
As soon as the ball gets past us it is almost certainly a goal scoring opportunity.
A clean out definitely needed.

I think we can give the kid a passmark. Especially considering his ToG was 50-60% maybe.
Who would want him? I'd think several clubs would pursue him. He has enough runs on the board for opposition clubs to look at him and think, "He's stuck at a young, shitty side, we can turn him around and get him back to his best and if we do he'll be an absolute weapon for us." The main issue I see is his hips. If they are "shot to pieces" like rumour has it he'd fail medicals at other clubs and that would put them off or at least force them to lower their offer trade wise.
Think the word you're looking for begins with 'D'.

I'm at a loss after the performance tonight. I took off just before 3 quarter time. There is no pleasure or enjoyment out of watching your team play like they did. Especially when there was so many Port fans in attendance.
So many issues with our team tonight. The lack of accountability from our forwards and midfielders in astounding. Our backline isn't great gut gee they just get peppered all night. They are never given a chance when the ball waltz out of our forward line from a kick-in. That said our match ups down back were terrible. They had 3 or 4 smallish forwards who were quick and we had Merrett, Hammelman, Andrews and Lester down there trying to keep up with them. The amount of marks the opposition takes in our forward 50 every match is a disaster TBH. This was another match very similar to others we've had this season. A decent first quarter and after that we give up. We stop having a crack and just don't seem to want to put enough in to get better results.
As far as I am concerned we can piss Hanley off. Wasting our time even giving him games. He's not accountable at all. Just runs around doing nothing all night.
We need to learn to tackle. They were busting through our tackles all ****en night. FFS hit the campaigners hard with your shoulders and wrap the ball up!!!
Archie Smith and Eric Hipwood are the obvious highlights from tonight. It was also good to see Michael Close back out there too.
Obviously the Umps had no impact on the result but they still give me the shits.

If it's his hips, then he's finished BUT if it's his attitude, he's finished.
So either way he's finished??
He's a cocky bastard. Met him a couple of times. Talks the talk...
So either way he's finished??
Yeah. Unless we misguidedly keep him. Who would want him? If he was any good he's stand out like dogs balls in this team. He doesn't. He's got no heart. He's a pretender. Piss him off.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! We have a defensive structure?
