Game Day Round 4 - Port Adelaide v Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Friday 5/4/24, 8.10pm AEDST

[The Donners]

Because anything but a ******* pathetic low short kick ends the quarter.

Completely agree. You need an on field leader with a steady head or just some common sense. McGrath tries as hard as anyone, hats off for that, not to say he doesn’t do any good things but he’s just not that good.

 

[MiguelM]

We failed to exert scoreboard pressure when we were on top and then gave up easy goals late. Deflating.

 

[Call Me Cake]

those 3 redtime goals ffs

I don't agree with the redtime myth. Doesn't matter if those 3 goals came in the last 5 minutes of the quarter or in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd. At least now we know what we're up against going into the 2nd half. Hopefully it has some impact on what the players are told in the break. In a way it's better for them to come before HT because at least then the coaches have a way to see it and address it.

Ha setters looked like he’d already done a full game running back on the ground there. Big red face

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Haha Gather Round permanently in Adelaide. So dumb.

Give them something to look forward to in their lives

 

[Snake Charmer]

Haha Gather Round permanently in Adelaide. So dumb.

Anywhere but Sydney

 

[Happyskeret]

We got no counter for JHF

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Did Horne F have a north melb mouth guard? lol.

 

[The Donners]

Ah, another wasted year coming up. Doesn't really seem to be any improvement, for all the talk.

On the flip side, same could be said for Port and Hinkley’s been there over a decade. I’d be livid as a Port supporter. Instead I’m a supporter of one of the worst performing teams in the 21st century.

It's an absolute blight on the game that a #1 draft pick in JHF can go to a premiership contending side. Absolute blight.

 

[oldandslow]

Can Parish show some heart and help Merrett.
Menzie needs to lift.
Langford quiet. Setterfield needs to be a bull in the centre.
Redman needs to get angry.
Need to run both ways

He's so good it's ridiculous!

 

[bommer16]

Nobody to help Hobbs

 

[TheGrizz]

Hobbs played for the free there and got what he deserved

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Need a pacey small forward to run onto them, not a slowish nuggety inside mid playing out of position.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Draper + Hobbs to the 2's.

 

[Vindicater]

Even Merrett is kicking like shit

 

[windyhill]

Lav working his arse off.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

It's going to be hard for Cox to make a career when he can't take minimal contact like that

 

[Happyskeret]

We looked fatigued and we are playing dumb

 

[wichidi]

OMFG

 

[TheGrizz]

You cant drop that mark, Sammy.

 

[Learntopray]

Hobbs as a forward isnt helping us or him.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Everyone at the stoppage just flat footed, watching the ball leave. Were the lads at a buffet brunch this arvo?

 

[Mr Bultitude]

A more frustrating game I cannot remember.
