Game Day ROUND THREE: Port Adelaide v Essendon, Friday 8/4/16, Adelaide Oval, 7.50PM AEST

[srobbo]

His two way running is the best at the club by a mile. One bad game doesn't change that.

Give us a spell. One bad game?? What are you talking about?? More like you remember the 1 in 10 good games he plays against shit opponents like Melbourne.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Tippa 8 tackles...glad hes backed up from last week after all the hype

 

[scythe]

God I hate Westhoff. Collarbone-breaking prick.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Goal for goal

 

[scythe]

Who untied the Collingwood flogs?

 

[Beerfish]

Hah. I've seen worse than this. This is nothing!

 

[mike14]

Still enjoyed this more than some of the crap we've dished up in the last few years

 

[efcboy]

Time for stokes to have a spell - been very ordinary tonight

 

[scythe]

Fantastic ball movement in that last chain. It's that sort of thing that wins games. Need to drill on it.

 

[scanlon]

Ambrose been good tonight

 

[Blind Turn]

I think to provide forward pressure it actually requires the ball to be in the forward line..

Granted, this fact does count against him. But let's face it, there's been none of the quality he's meant to bring.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Ha commentators not sold on Port

Good.

Fair enough too, they haven't been great.

 

[Donakebab]

A goal to cap off a shocker from Jackson. Pity after such a great game last week.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Keep it under 50 and I would be happy.

 

[Loonerty]

lol

You're up by 62, Port fans. Booing so hard at that is a bit pathetic.

I would let him at a crack at the Cats then maybe a week's rest, Kelly & Crowley might be in the same boat (in need of a rest)

Have to agree. Like I said after round 1, these are not normal circumstances. Hard to be truly angry, especially after certain individual efforts.

 

[scotch and coke]

The thing that has disappointed me the most is our decision making by hand and foot putting teammates under pressure, look scared at times and the lack of effort by Cooney, J Merrett , Brown is really obvious.
Looks like some of them don't want to be out there like rabbits in the spotlight , you have to feel for our defenders the ball coming out of the middle is like a tidal wave.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Pretty decent on the defensive transition there. Everyone pushed up well, just a half second slow.

 

[scanlon]

Do we think Jerrett gets a game next week?

Cooney and lack of effort in the same sentence tonight, do not go together. Has tried all night.

 

[Rack Watts]

God I hate Westhoff. Collarbone-breaking prick.

He's a barometer, whenever port plays well, he does... Wait

 

[Blind Turn]

Not enough kudos for that sensational grab by Goddard. Just because the games a bit flat doesn't mean the hyperbole can't be thrown about.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Cooney equal top posession winner at the moment

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Do we think Jerrett gets a game next week?

Depends on tomorrow.
