Review Showdown 47 Post Mortem - Port Federers v Adelaide Tomics

[relapse]

Shattered is realising that we're not going to contend for another 7 or so years, and that there's a very real chance you'll never see another premiership.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Neil Craig all over again.

2016/2017 was Don Pyke's version of 05/06.

Since 2017 we've be going nowhere, but sadly Pyke can't see it and continues to cling for dear life to an ageing squad that's about to go over the cliff.

Neil Craig had the same failings and Pyke will ultimately suffer the same fate, by the time the club realises that we're going nowhere with Pyke and we bring in someone else etc we're most probably looking at another decade+ before we contend again.

Sadly it looks like the club is destined to stretch it's premiership drought out to 30+ years.

Oh go abuse someone else. I'm not gloating, I'm not trolling, I'm being civil. Maybe you should learn to.

Maybe learn not to antagonise on an opposition board after they lose dh

You're not being 'civil', you're being cheeky and annoying. Just go.

 

[Dudersaurus]

Only good thing was Roo said it was an embarrassment and some players hard to go.

The downside; that means Milera and ROB out for Ottens and Jacobs.

Jones, McHenry, Wilson, Poholke still need dev time in 2s.

 

[SugarShane]

Should we have drafted Duursma before Ned ?

Narp, we've already got a sub 50 gamer who thinks they qualify to have a signature goal celebration.

Oh look another Bay 13 poster abusing.

I actually talk normally on team boards, you should try too.

I never once antagonised, I've freely admitted that you shouldn't take this loss as hard as you all are.

Port is a great team.... Every 2nd week... They've made WCE and Geelong look average. You just picked the wrong week, especially after we rightfully copped it in the media.

 

[SugarShane]

This is onfield as well

A 16 gamer in his first year is pushing Jake Kelly around. His old man would have belted Rozee

The Port kids will be something else. They already play with the all the confidence in the world. Amazing what backing them in can do.

But Knight isn't playing at the moment

Pyke had similar words about it being embarrassing. Whether it's embarrassing enough to make changes remains to be seen.

 

[CrowBloke]

how long have they been around?

It was an AFL game, twerp. Longer than your mob.
Hurry out and celebrate with the rest of your July Premiers, you flog.

 

[MRB37]

If Jenkins wants to talk about "I expect to be picked" then he should actually put in a half decent performance after talking like that.

Wines, Wingard & SPP

All looked top 10 future players early on. All stagnated.

Not with the current regime. Most of all I like their confidence, can remember Rozee listening in on an Eagles huddle, that's something you can't teach. We are probably running them into the ground though, did that before....

 

[CrowBloke]

I'm looking forward to smashing south Africa in the cricket

I was, too.
1/107 off 16

 

[Crowman32]

Ash Barty goes ok .. and I feel happy watching her win

Can we draft her?

I honestly think by round 1 2021 we will see a very different side.

Douglas, MacKay, Tex, Betts, Jacobs, JJ, Gibbs, Hartigan, and possibly Talia will all be gone.

The existing will begin this off season and then continue next with more players moving on.

 

[mulz]

Not surprised by todays result. Played snorefest footy all year, been flattered by the scoreboard all year.
While Burton runs this footy department nothing will change. He is cancer

More than half of those guys should be gone NOW not at the start of 2021

Gibbs, Jacobs and Otten are already gone. I strongly think Douglas and MacKay will go this week and then Tex will retire at the end of the season if we miss the finals.

Leaving Hartigan and Talia for 2020

I'd be astonished if Tex retired at the end of the season

 

[Thetrader15]

We'd probably play her on the satellite tour so she can develop her game

 

[xazos79]

Well boys in the 2s, time to put your hand up. Leave no doubt as to why you should be called up to the seniors. I'm expecting 3 unforced changes. Anything less, then the club is having a laugh. Just some dumb football all round.

Galoot, Seed, Douglas...... WTH?

Pyke's in charge of the game plan

'You should try it too'

Another example of being antagonistic. You slip these comments in and then hide and pretend you don't.

 

[Crows I Am]

I'll let you know in 3 years when Ned gets a game

 

[CrowBloke]

Hard blaming Hartigan for our faults.

True, but we can blame Hartigan for his faults and his many mistakes tonight.

Even Motlop got a goal.

After Tex missed and they kicked 3 quick goals to go +14, Motlop took possession, dished off a handball then hared forward with a string of 3 of his mates, all at top speed.
Motlop!
Our blokes stopped and watched the goal that came. I knew then we'd lose but never expected the gutless capitulation that followed.
After Tex's goal 15 seconds into Q3, we scored 3 points for the rest of the game.

Read my first one. You look pretty stupid and petty trying to make up a shit fight when there wasn't one.
