Preview Round 2 - Port Adelaide vs West Coast @ AAMI Stadium

[PJ Power]

The people that said we would win by over 100.. obviously know nothing about this footy club. We are more of a laughing stock than i thought. A port Adelaide day and we are getting done by the wooden spooners.

Yep. Anyone who has watched any footy of us this year, any footy, could see that we are in alot of trouble. Too many players who are not in any sort of form.

You obviously just didnt watch all our wonderful performances last year. Ah well reality will sink in soon, i think will see the spoon here in SA for the first time.

I have a feeling someone is going to be eating their words today.

Too many of our supporters over-rate our team, clearly. I cant believe the people that said i would eat my words when i said '' there will be less then 25k'' The predictions of 30k were laughable...

Considering the way that Richmond, Melbourne, WCE, Essendon and even Brisbane have started this year, right now, we are the worst side in the comp (waiting for GCFC's first showing of course).

We have very little game plan, the least inspiring midfield, and the worst defence. It is a bad recipe.

I think it is a combination of form and talent. I think several of our players simply do not have the tools to make it as consistent top line AFL footballers. Pearce, Chaplin, Westhoff, Rodan are already in this category, Stewart's x2, Carlile, and several others looking likely to fall short too.

Plus:

INDISCIPLINE - FFS absolutely disgraceful today, how many dumb free kicks did we give away? Combine that with the usual couple of 50's we give away each game and it's just embarrasing.

No skills- how many times did we turn the ball over when in space today? Just hit the target! In the first quarter when we had a 2 on 1 in our 50, all we had to do was hit Westhoff on the chest and he could go over the top and we have a goal, but we missed the target...

No brains - how many times did we kick the ball straight to bloody Cox, Naitanui or Glass?

No heart - some of our tackles were . Daniel Stewart being constantly outmarked by players at minimum 10+cm smaller than him.

Yep. The other thing is that I don't mind us kicking long to a contest, but not doing it all the time. At the moment, we seem to be using the long kick up the line to spare our lazy runners, who just refuse to spread and run the ball to break the lines.
