Game Day Round 7, 2016 - Port Adelaide vs Brisbane Lions

[deklares]

time to trade hanley, rich and any other overpaid player who hasnt been putting in weekly. They are the so called leaders of the club.

Unhappy with Rich but Hanley digs in

Wouldn't go that far. We don't want to turn into Melbourne of old. I would just rather drop a leader to give him a kick and tell him he has to start working on a consistent basis. Rich would be my preference .... after Collingwood tho.

I know we're a young side but this is unacceptable, our midfield is very good individually with the age bracket being perfect. How we're being dominated week after week is ridiculous

A fair few overrated players...

 

[Toffee Lion]

Don't think its bias. Genuine lack of knowledge.

I'd say both, respectively.

I love the AFL but our commentary and umpiring standards are laughable, really need a revamp in both areas before looking into adding more plastic clubs.

 

[SizeMatters]

If they trade Hanley they can trade me with him. Harsh.

fair enough. Just really frustrating when we have these blokes in their prime and they are performing well below their exceptions.

 

[TheZork]

Also I remember a poster yesterday saying that rockliff only trained a bit so would be a late out. If so, the club knew that he wasn't match fit and decided to play him anyway. I hope they take full responsibility

Such a typical Lions thing to do to play a team like 2016 Port back into form after they've been terrible all year. 1 goal in the 2nd quarter and no goals in the 3rd quarter. Unacceptable and woeful effort overall.

One positive is Bundy is ok.

 

[pulpdriver]

A no commentary only game sounds button would be ideal for me.

A "sounds of the game" option would be bliss. Australian commentators would be up in arms though, 90% would be out of a job within 2 years.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Why are we getting games into Tom Bell when we could be getting games into Nick Robertson. One of them can actually kick the ball at a decent level..

 

[M Malice]

too much kicking long to a contest, run and gun gone missing since early in the 2nd quarter. haven't seen too many quick play ons or runs past to receive a handball. not quite as bad as the dogs game YET.

get blown away in the last quarter will be very demoralizing.

 

[lionshine]

Walker and Bell have both been very poor today.

 

[BRAB]

Do we have a plan B?

Nick Robertson is talentless, what are you on about?

 

[luthor]

7 shots at goal that quarter ..........

...........for 7 points

How can we ever hope to build any pressure with our abysmal goalkicking accuracy?

*SIGH*

 

[rusty08]

As per usual. 1 step forward 2 steps back. Mcstay in limbo at minute. Not a defender imo. Hard to watch and even harder to listen to.

 

[Ceebee]

Poor Leppa.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Nick Robertson is talentless, what are you on about?

You are clueless.

 

[Football Pope]

Also McStay needs a rocket up his arse, very talented player but so lazy, hopefully Cutler and Green are back next week

Yep....I was a big wrap for McStay.. looks a forward at best, lazy in defence...

 

[James North]

Group mentality is the issue - dropping our heads when the going gets tough.

Not quite as bad as Ricciuto's terrible, terrible, terrible bias. He is a hugely unprofessional man.

 

[deklares]

40 - 22 i50s since qtr time

 

[Ceebee]

Walker and Bell have both been very poor today.

No.
Always next week.

 

[Squizz89]

Extremely disappointing after such a positive opening quarter where we in reality probably left another 2-3 goals out there unfortunately.

What I don't understand is Stef constantly winning the hitouts but not to advantage of our mids.

Not sure whether that is stef's problem, the midfield's problem or a coaching issue. I'd hazard a guess a bit of all 3 but so frustrating.

 

[BRAB]

The "bomb it forward" tactic isn't working.

Gasp

 

[Milux]

Rich. Your head band is straight now play some ****ing football.

 

[TheMagician15]

You are clueless.

You a family member or something? he's got no ball skills. He works hard I will give him that. Tom Bell is a better player but equally iffy skills
