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

Lots of problems tonight but the middle is where it started.
Nice goal Harry

 

[JuniorWatch]

There have been some positive developments this year. Perkins, Jones has shown a bit more.
McKay has been good.
But Hobbs ain't one of them.
He'll be out of the league in 3 years.

 

[ghostdog]

Harry!

It's still doable!

Nic Nat was a liability early in his career. During his prime years, West coast set up their team to cover for his deficiencies (became a meme with the volume of s**t posting against WC fans on big footy).

Not excusing the poor game from Draper, just putting some context to it.

A great coach figures out what they have and develops a game plan to capitalise on that. Time will tell if Scott's coaching can get more out of Drapers strengths than he loses from his weaknesses

Yeh Nic nat was a terrible footballer like Draper. But he made up for it with elite ruck work. Draper doesn’t have that

 

[nipst@r]

Cox looks way out of depth defending

How far off is Hayes?

Laverde also down on form but at least competes.

Bit harsh on perkins as feel like at least doing some things with purpose.

Caldwell had a crack this quarter.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Good stuff from Jones.

 

[Happyskeret]

Nice pressure forward effort Hindy

 

[andleanback]

Harry been half decent tonight imo

 

[Mootsy]

O'leera wasn't HTB, lol!

 

[nipst@r]

How much worse would byran be then gold and draper tonight?

 

[yodellinhank]

this game is indicative of where our list is at

I heard we were older than Port?

 

[Nicholas61]

On Cox. Next games he gets (not necessarily soon) if he doesn't show any hardness, he may have a short career.

Unfortunately doesnt seem to have the competitive juices but picks and chooses when to turn up.

 

[DallasCrane316]

Perkins out with a hammy. Bugger.

 

[Mootsy]

Perkins out with a hammy. Bugger.

Bugger.

 

[JayJ20]

Perkins out with a hammy. Bugger.

The year is over. It was nice while it lasted.

 

[quotemokc]

Why do we think its acceptable to zone of a player in their forward line

 

[DallasCrane316]

 

[yodellinhank]

Good stuff from Jones.

That's harry all over. No pressure when you're so far behind, and all of a sudden he can play. Chokes when it counts though.

 

[bommer16]

Has port travelled yet

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Close the joint, pack our bags, move sth and become the Tassie TryHards.

Uhhhh so 10 weeks then?

 

[Call Me Cake]

Toyota getting their ESG points.

 

[Learntopray]

I don't disagree but the AFL can't stop it. What if they force him to stay and then he takes mental health leave?

there is no rule about wanting to go home. and in this case yeah PA got kissed on the dick. is what it is.

Let him take it then?
He isn't getting paid for 3 years of afl if he doesn't honor his contract and he has to get redrafted if they don't trade him.
Tired of the cop out.
What's the point in a national competition or free agency if players can blackmail clubs?

 

[Nifft]

I heard we were older than Port?

That because Goldy is 97 years old…

 

[wichidi]

Shoreline flatters us right now unfortunately.
