Half the contested possession differential were extremely soft and unwarranted frees.

We are holding up in the contest but only just.
We were doing well in the clearances without capitalising. Then Crouch and Berry got on top for ten minutes and they scored three in no time. Classic Hinkley showdown.

And people want Carr to coach. He’s had no answers either.
 
They are playing classic flood the d50 and break footy.

Need to stop the handball chains exiting our f50

Need more from Willie and mead

Butters needs to play percentage footy

Burton can get off

Could also try and kick straight.....

Apart from that it's just be a bit tidier

Oh and drew needs to clamp crouch

“Both teams have brought their A-game”

A few things at half time:

How Mark Ricciuto is allowed to commentate any Adelaide or Port Adelaide games amazes me when there is a clear conflict of interest... hearing him take glee about Jordan Sweet's injury was sickening.

I've watched footy for 30 years and I have never seen such a confused, inconsistent and sub-standard set of umpires across the AFL in that whole time. How you just completely miss Lachie Jones getting tunnelled sums it up. And for Ricciuto to say "Thilthorpe was just protecting himself"... c'mon now.

A proper team united with the fans would have started a melee after Rachele openly mocking the fans. But after all, Charlie Dixon did say we lacked intelligence so what do we expect...
#oath!
 
People love potting Marshall but this tall forward line absolutely sucks. Zero impact and completely incapable taking a mark in transition or getting in scoring positions. It's awful.
Mitch is the missing piece, everything else is a backup.

12 years, making finals based on individual feats of brilliance. Like others have said, if JHF isn't carrying us on his back we look complete lacking.
 
JHF needs to have a Robbie Gray-like game
Fell out of it in the second part of that quarter after threatening to rip them apart. We need him to do something outrageous after HT. Butters can’t win this single-handedly. Rozee hasn’t done enough. Wines with a typically abysmal showdown performance. The Nankervis contested mark against him summed his showdown history to a “T”. Ollie would have conceded more contested marks in showdowns than any player in history.
 
Is anyone prepared to put their head over the ball instead of taking the soft option of kicking the ball off the ground?

So sick of these midfielders not prepared to stand up in big games. Always going for the cute option instead of doing the basics right.
