I don't really understand Duursma. He's like the most streaky footballer I've ever seen. Either will deliver incredible run and forward entries or he does something completely unskilled like being unable to bounce the ball on the wing in open space in the first quarter.

There is no middle ground with him.

He's Brad ebert clone on the wing

Can’t give up 6 final quarter goals against the pies and expect to win. It’s again the basics that let us down again and again.
Lot of individual **** ups

Farrell tackle on diacos - goal
jones spud kick on the full - goal
jones + mckenzie missing the ball - goal
just simple mistakes smh
 
Didn’t hate McEntees game but DBJ and Raz for Mac and Evans is worth more than a couple of goals.

Finlayson had a mare but it’s genuinely concerning that the only player all season capable of taking a contested mark in the forward half of the ground is limping around on half a leg.
 
They do deliver. It's the forwards inaccuracy that *s it up. That game is over at 3/4 time if our forwards and wingers convert but as we know, they never do.

Their mids were outplayed in the third but our forwards didn't punish them. Its not fair on butters, rozee, jhf and drew to continually have forwards that torch their good work.
Look at the premiership sides over the years, nearly all of them have a strong marking forward who kicks goals we are badly lacking Hawkins Lynch Riewoldt Franklin etc

Simply not hard enough and tough enough for long enough. If you look at the Hinkley era of Port Adelaide that basically typifies our performances in games that matter.

Yeah we tried hard. Yeah we got close and did many good things. But it's not good enough and it's never been good enough with this team. You have four quarters to put away the opposition and if you don't do it your not good enough.

Todd Marshall.. just an absolutely weak footballer. Barely won a contest for the night and when it came down to it and the game was on his boot ****ed it up big time. And I've seen it all before with him.
 
A lot of bed wetting here, we’re in it. Ball and luck didn’t bounce our way when it mattered.

I’m confident we will beat Crows and Pussies
Haven't heard this one before.

Hell, pretty sure Hinkley has lent on this crutch before, talking about "you need some luck" hurddurr
 
I know our assets dried up with the JHF trade but I have a feeling the club didn't think we would be 'this good' so were content with leaving us with a shit ruck, shit key defender depth and shit overall depth. Like any one of the three issues rectified on our list would probably put us ahead of Collingwood this year.

If 2021 and 2022 seasons were swaped around, I wonder if there'd be more urgency over the offseason and we'd be in better shape right now.

So many changes are needed at the club. Foremost Hinkley needs to go along with Richardson and Koch.
