from that list and we probably win


If one of Mayes, Houston, Wines or Boak kick their set shot from close range we win

If Mayes doesn't make completely unnecessary contact in the dying seconds, we win

If the umpires don't pay 2 of the most disgraceful deliberate out of bounds I have seen, Himmelberg probably doesn't score 1 of his 2 goals late in the last quarter as the ball would of been inside/near our attacking end

But, that's just football

 

[Dutchy5150]

Just quietly re Boak's miss.

If he kicks it we go 7 points clear with about 90 seconds to play. We were still well capable of losing from there given the way the game was going. I wouldn't blame him.

Yep.. There were 13 points kicked before he kicked his. Should not of been in that situation in the first place. Cant believe people are turning on Boak because of this...

 

[rogerjames]

Port Adelaide captain Tom Jonas reckons it's a good thing most of his AFL teammates have memories like a goldfish.
"We're not the sharpest tools in the shed, us footballers." Jonas told reporters on Wednesday.
"We like to get out there and chase the footy and have a bit of fun ... and when it comes to game time, you just go about your business.
"You could say at times we have the memory of a goldfish."

I say they move on pretty quickly...I stand by my belief that Jonas should have been relieved of his captaincy for this very quote alone.

Total loser. Embarrassing.

 

[rogerjames]

I'm going to rag on McKenzie, I don't really care for his heroic late marks when he's had the most goals kicked on him of any player in the league.

Shit defender.

Too slow now

 

[GremioPower]

 

[davesnothere]

Boaks miss is irrelevant.
Mayes free is irrelevant.

Shit happens every game and the simple fact of the matter is if you are not good enough to put the game beyond that you get what you deserve.

The right outcome from here on is developing a side can go forward and that’s as of today. It’s obvious the players don’t rate Ken the alternative would be admitting that they are spuds and we don’t have a player on our list that believes that they are a spud so the players go or Ken goes.

 

[Del165198]

WHOA SACK HINKLEY BAM BALAM

 

[Del165198]

3rd time in the last 91 games we've been beaten by a goal after the siren.

Two from dubious free kicks.

All from about 40 metres out so not gimmes.

All under lights (of course) at our Theatre of Dreams, the Portress.

Lol it wasn't dubious, it was one of the most blatantly obvious free kicks you'll ever see. Watch it again at full speed.

 

[Del165198]

KH: Footy has a way of giving you a whack. It certainly did that to us tonight #pafclive

Maybe footy is trying to whack you off, Kern?

U mad?

No, I passed anger a few years ago.

 

[Macca19]

Just quietly re Boak's miss.

If he kicks it we go 7 points clear with about 90 seconds to play. We were still well capable of losing from there given the way the game was going. I wouldn't blame him.

Even with Boaks miss, Mckenzie takes a ****ing monster mark with 60 seconds left. How the **** did we not run out time from there?

 

[yepits2020]

It is still mathematically possible.

 

[Del165198]

Don't judge us now, judge us on our H&A record from the covid season

 

[ctpower]

Okay I don't want to be that guy

But how is it that Hawthorn kicked 14.0 on set shots and Adelaide kicked 13.3?

Like isn't the law of averages supposed to be a thing?

You make a good point.
Both sides kicked out of their **** against us.
Mind you I’m far more concerned about our skills.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Ken’s presser:
That’s showdowns for you.
Wish we got Dawson.
Proud of Toddy.
Our tall forwards are still young.

 

[ctpower]

Even with Boaks miss, Mckenzie takes a ******* monster mark with 60 seconds left. How the fu** did we not run out time from there?

Do you think they’ll move him some time this season Macca

 

[Portmagpies36]

We are bad. We are better than them, but they are ridiculously bad. And we’ve managed to give away a 19-point Q4 lead with 3’ to go.

I have no words for this.

Correct, because we are so mentally weak any side can beat us, anybody!
Absolutely no leadership, hasn't been for years.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Lol we just played against training cones and the training cones won.

Genuine chance of the spoon this year. How's that draft looking?

 

[PAFC Since 1870]

jonas is the least accountable defender we’ve ever had. Just constantly ball watches…has a twig kick 4 on him because he’s allergic to marking someone

I was going to write something similar. I’ll take it one step further and say he shouldn’t be in the team, let alone captain

 

[Portmagpies36]

1 Skill level
2 Mentally stronger

 

[Windy Cindy]

After a nights sleep and endless texts from crows mates I’m convinced this loss lays with our players. Our players are mentally weak. Apart from last year, our record for close games would be horrendous, let alone games when we have coughed up a lead.

how come we continue to lose the unloseable in last quarters, our bloody leaders let us down time and time again. Our leaders can’t kick for goal At the best of times let alone when trying to ice a win.

I watched wines miss a sitter, his stats came up on the screen, from 30-40m out he is a 4/15 chance of getting it. A ****ing Brownlow medallist is 4/15 chance dead in front. That is disgraceful, that’s John butcher

as for boak, no doubt he will go down as a great of the club but no way he is near our top 5. Truly great players don’t continually miss sitters. Selwood wouldn’t have missed that. Just ****ing ice the game, how ****ing hard is it, unacceptable miss.

a Coaching clean out is required, and maybe a fresh attitude will change our players mental state in close games. Change the leadership group, clean them all out and find our next captain.

****ing hell it’s 3 games into a season. it’s gunna be a long season.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Please let it be a Super Draft

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Honestly I don't care at all about free kicks or costly misses. If we are serious and think we are a top 4 side we should be winning by 60+ against that rabble. If we had won by a point or a couple of goals it would still have been a massive failure.

 

[GremioPower]

Please let it be a Super Draft

Not at all. Let it be an awful draft, with a handful of great players.

If you can’t kick you can’t kick.
Boak and wines fall into that category.
I don’t think they’re mentally weak but Just poorly skilled footballers.
