Rozee keeps falling over, Butters vanished, JHF moved away from the play. We can't keep the ball moving, it's all stop start.

Drew desperately attempting to soccer off the ground and falling over in the centre, allowing notorious contested battleship, Nick Daicos, to gather and waltz away was another highlight.

It’s like a latent infection that suddenly ravages the body, this type of sh¡t.

10 mins into second quarter collingwood were 4/1.

10 minutes later they’ve basically won the game.

Expect us to get to 6 goals down and the hold that margin to get a working harder for longer response from the man in charge
Followed by ******* telling us how good collingwood are and they were reigning premiers and the comp is tough..
 
Good sides don't concede 6.5 to 2.0 goals in a quarter, when they've got their game going.

We aren't a good side. The other top teams can and do regularly put us to the sword way too easy.

As I pointed out the other day, we are 0-9 against top 4 teams away from home with an average losing margin of 40 points. We just don't win these games. We just aren't any good. We win through being consistent, we don't win because we are dour, tough, smart or able to raise to the challenge. When the opposition rises, or we let them get a sniff, we don't snuff it out. We don't rise and see off the challenge. We collapse and concede.

This side is not capable of winning a flag. Not remotely. We need change. We need a hard nosed coach that'll drive standards in the basics and the hard, tough, stingy, smart footy where we sorely lack after many years of it not being trained into our group.
The worst part is that every other club knows it.

Its why even joke clubs like the cows keep coming at us because they know we eventually fold.
 
Not surprised but **** its disappointing happens year after year after year same shit just **** off hinkley it doesn't work
 
We are filled with front runners.

Rozee can’t or won’t lead from the front like a captain should.

This kind of occasion is too big for a player like Mead.

Rioli nowhere to be seen.

Marshall timid.

Our KPD’s seem unable or unwilling to use their size advantage.

Farrell can’t defend.

Jones not doing much.

Burton will gladly sell a teammate into trouble if it means he can avoid physical contact.

Horne-Francis not allowed near the centre for some unknown reason. Same with Soldo.
To be fair on Rioli, he his playing in starvation corner in the forward pocket.

Marshall doesn’t demand the ball like a tall forward should. Always behind his opponent when the bail out kick comes on the wing/high half forward.

It's so sad knowing, without question, that we would start playing soft, unaccountable trash, as soon as we thought we had the game under control.

We just don't know how to play when it's not completely on our terms. We think that it's a matter of being even flashier, or certain players start hiding so they aren't the one making mistakes. It's always leave it to somebody else.

Some of leaders need a good speaking too as well. Front runners.

This is on Ken and the coaching group as they breed this mentality, they breed out the hard and tough and replace it with connection and care.
 
A massive turnaround that quarter, with the Magpies recording 11 scores to the Power's two. It was thanks to Collingwood's turnover game, outscoring the Power 27-0 from that source for the quarter.
Magpies have now kicked the last five goals, four of them have been kicked from forcing turnovers.
 
Talking about body language............

Half time vision. Port mids look like they won the lottery but lost the ticket 😠

Should be eyes hardened, listening intently to the coaches, vowing to do much much better 🧐

Leadership vacuum at PAFC.
 
Collingwood by 10 goals plus.
There’s a likelihood of this. Their tails are up. Their confidence is brimming. We had a window then to fight fire with fire straight away to stop them surging. Where did our leaders go? What did they do? They went to water. It started in the midfield, spread to the wings and flanks. Then infiltrated our deep defence. I can’t think how we get out of this with anything other than a sound and embarrassing loss.

We win from here and I’ll give us all a lot of credit. Hinkley included.
 
Whats probably gonna pi55 me off the most after this loss, not a soul drawing attention to Hinkley, his coaching, his abysmal top 4 record.....nothing

It'll be all about how nobody was beating this Collingwood side today, how the players let Ken down, how Port have got work to do yada yada

Kane will probably apply more heat to Bevo after his 60 point win
