Review Round 22, 2023 vs GWS

[TazD]

Boak adds nothing. Time to move on.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Played like a top 4 side today and had a very good, impressive win.

I said in the match day thread you come to the footy to watch Zak Butters

. Add Rozee and Horne Francis, super talents.

 

[raptalia]

Much better games from Wines, Bergmann and Williams. Junior Rioli is starting to do what we recruited him for- kick goals.

That was possibly the best game I have seen from Horne-Francis, he has talent and physical strength to go with it. For the first time in his AFL career JHF intimidated the opposition.

I thought Hayes did OK, he didn't win the tap out count but he was competitive and did some good things around the ground. If he was carrying an injury as Tredders seems to believe then it was a bloody gutsy effort. Sam's effort released Finlayson to play forward, the pity is that Finlayson didn't kick straight, if he had he might have had 5 goals.

 

[gbear]

Champions deserve to be talked about respectfully.
Boak more than most.

Please don't ever forget the decisions he has made to support this club and his efforts to train both himself and others to be at their best.
I would love to see him have a role at the club for another 20 years once he ticks off the 350 games.

Congratulations on the 4 points Port, on the top 4 finish and on the worst kept secret of the coaching mentorship.
An absolute win/win in my book.

I agree, but if port is serious about trying to win the premiership then Boak is nit best 22 with minimal outs.

 

[PPort]

Good to see Wines show some form to help the midfield. We looked a bit lost with out a proper ruck when hayes went off - he was good I thought. Dursma needs to pick up before finals as does Lord. Lord looks strong and tough enough so we need to persist with him Allir , Williams and Bergman were good in that order and Jonas was passable - I guess. The ref saw to it that we didn't totally annihilate them. A dominant side looses the free count? - only Port!

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Good win tonight, and was able to enjoy it with Carr out of the running for the Tiges job. That said we never really looked that ruthless or convincing, and felt pretty easy to score against.

Hayes did a solid role in ruck. JHF absolute superstar performance. Wines back to being a really strong contributor.

Then a few other guys like Drew just going from strength to strength.

There is clearly at minimum a premiership-worthy group of young guys here, if not multiple premiership worthy. The key is going to be to get a coaching group that can capitalise on it. I'm not yet convinced we have that yet but let's see what happens in September.

 

[philreich]

21:10 is another positive, and it could have been even better. If we want to go deep into September, accurate goal kicking is critical.

 

[Interstater]

I agree, but if port is serious about trying to win the premiership then Boak is nit best 22 with minimal outs.

If I calculate it correctly he now must play again next year to reach 350.

I look forward to how he can help the other players in the offseason.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Rozee, Butters, Wines and JHF with 119 possessions and 4 goals between them. That's the game pretty much.

 

[Vagabond0]

LOL THE BOUNCE JUST NAMED MCENTEE AS EVANS, THEN THEY SAID ITS ACTUALLY JACKSON MEAD

Watches Bounce and comes back with his fact checker report...

LOL THE BOUNCE JUST NAMED MCENTEE AS EVANS, THEN THEY SAID ITS ACTUALLY JACKSON MEAD

They aren't wrong.

 

[TazD]

In the lead up to the 2021 premiership Nathan Jones had the class to remove himself from selection. Lets see if Boak has the same club spirit.

 

[afl2004]

Last 2 wins Hayes had played

 

[TeeKray]

The Boak stuff is over the top. At the very least he's a better option than Evans as sub.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

21:10 is another positive, and it could have been even better. If we want to go deep into September, accurate goal kicking is critical.

Not all 21:10s are equal, to me we still wasted quite a few golden opportunities... Finlayson in particular (as great as he's been overall).

 

[Windy Cindy]

The forbidden number

Wines best game for a while, putrid with his first handball but played well

I guess Vanilla tastes the same to everyone.

too. His form over his past 6 or so matches has been superb. He kicks goals, doesn’t lose contests, applies pressure and brings teammates into the play. Love the way he’s playing.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Need Farrell, Jones, Bergman to find some form. Williams was good but the other young defenders have fallen off.

Yeah Bergman was shit today

 

[philreich]

Not all 21:10s are equal, to me we still wasted quite a few golden opportunities... Finlayson in particular (as great as he's been overall).

Early forecast for Perth next Sunday is mainly fine and 21C - given a fast track, we should be able to exploit them with our pace. Should be a terrific game though.

Thats two digs at a champion in the one thread, the third gets you blocked.

 

[Jojay]

Great to see Mitch up and about in the rooms after the game

Boak is past it.

Seeya.

 

[Powerade 08]

Yeah Bergman was s**t today

Well for 75% of it, yea...

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Our BnF will be very interesting this year. No clear winner. I’m tipping Rozee at this stage but Houston and Butters could easily win it
