Review Round 23, 2021 vs Western Bulldogs

[PJ Power]

This fox post game is so bad

Yep - now we’ve only beaten a top 5 side who’s badly out of form

 

[Magpiespowaz]

SMASHING GUINNESS ON TAP FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1995 EAD U DUCKING DIVING DOGGIE CAMPAIGNERS PORTS DISCO JACKET COMING OUT TOMORROW FUNKY FRESH IN THA MUTHA F@%KIN FRESH BUTCHAAAAAHHHHHHHH

 

[PJ Power]

Big moments and Robbie Gray only end one way and we saw that again tonight

Gray was terrific all night.

 

[charcolechaddy]

Absolutely deplorable standard of footy by us.
Unbelievable that we got over the line.
Take the points for sure, but we just HAVE to start better, and display FAR better skills.

My best (yep it's in the wrong thread):
5 Wines
4 Canon
3 Drew
2 Rozee
1 Alliir

Honourable mentions:
Boak, Duursma, Ladhams, Bonner, Gray, Jonas.

Need to improve:
Burton, Houston, Motlop, DBJ, Butters, Amon, Dixon, Marshall, Lycett. The latter 2, credit where due, lifted late in the game when needed.

Mayes did more good work in one quarter than half the side did for an entire game!!!

I dont agree, we where the better team all night, yes we have to start better and kick straighter but we where easily the better team.

 

[Boxx]

Jonas in the second to last play was huge. Imposed himself to get in front.

Was very good all night - his best game of the year I reckon.

 

[Smartys Power]

30 chicos at half time was a bad choice

Lollies? Or rolls?

 

[gbear]

Great win
Imagine if we kicked straight and didn't give them a 15min head start

I would make that closer to a 35 minute headstart.

 

[finbarr]

While i appreciate the sentiment of his tweet, I don't think Jake quite gets the club and the environment it was able to create that made players want to stay, no matter how dark things got. We are not the crows.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Only 3 goals kicked in the last quarter. Wines snap checkie, Boak went around the corner set shot and nailed it rather than his poor drop punt set shots, and Roberto set shot for the sealer.

Our vaunted young players not to be seen much when the crunch was on. Drew did his job nicely.

For us to win it all its the old blokes who have to lead and deliver with the young blokes doing their bit, but they wont drive the wins.

 

[Port85]

That shit cray

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Wins like this bring out the mental strength and toughness in players, but by gees they do it the hard way.

 

[PowerBaz]

Strange thinking back how many players were down but we still find ways to win.

I hope we just start hammering teams from the outset but not sure it will happen…

 

[tribey]

First and only time I’ll agree with Jake Niall. Mark it down, folks.

 

[yepits2020]

So here is the equation....

We are gonna finish 2nd.

We are gonna play the loser of Cats/Dees in a home elimination final. I know who I'd prefer.

I hope they knock the stuffing out of each other.

 

[Jonts]

Burton was ****ing huge tonight

 

[Marmozet]

First time we’ve beaten the Bulldogs at this ground since 2003

 

[PowerBaz]

Wins like this bring out the mental strength and toughness in players, but by gees they do it the hard way.

Ken has spent 35 years working then hardery for longery

 

[MotlopRules]

I knew there must have been a glitch in the what happen power matrix when the doggies got done for that throw.

 

[Adz2332]

3 boak
2 wines
1 Gray

Wasnt someone going on about how robbie should be dropped?? Muppet

 

[Doctor Feel]

I reckon the difference there was the heartbreak of last year burning in the guts when the legs got heavy.

 

[Smartys Power]

Ben Dixon, "Whoever is drawn to play Port in the first final will basically be handed a gold pass into the next round."

Onya Ben.

I swear I remember him picking us as his tip for the flag. Probably punted a shit tonne on it and trying the old reverse psychology trick.

That or he’s building a “told you so” moment for himself so he comes out win/win.

 

[gbear]

Jonas in the second to last play was huge. Imposed himself to get in front.

Real captains game.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Norton gotta go worse tackle then lycetts

 

[Port_Girl_92]

McKenzie, Burton and even Bonner were brilliant. No tackles for Bonner which is concerning but his ball usage great.

Motlop out Mayes in.
I dunno who comes in for Georgy? Ideas?

 

[tribey]

Burton was ******* huge tonight

That play where he spoiled Weightman with the flight without infringing, then hit the ball at full speed, before banana’ing the ball directly to Amon across his body hard against the boundary was one of the greatest defensive plays I’ve ever seen.
