GAME DAY - ROUND 1, 2013

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Viney is the only positive.

We have so many stupid, stupid footballers.

That is under selling our list a bit, I'd be happy to have stupid footballers at the moment, I don't know what I'd call these blokes we got.

[Cards13 9,117]

"Port benefitting from Watts in defence, he is doing nothing" direct from the radio.

" he has to man up when they are coming into the fwd 50"

[frankie_d 1,471]

Hard to see where the fix is going to come from. Viney and jones can't do all the midfield work, Clark can't do all the forward work. I

[dazzledavey36 54,283]

Luke tapscott that was a stupid effort to try and kick the freak goal should have let the ball run over the line ffs so many dumb footballers!

[titan_uranus 24,974]

Quarter time stats.

Clearances 13-6. Of these 11-1 in 'stoppages', as opposed to 2-5 in our favour from the centre.

Disposals 88-72 (clearly improved in this area and got our hands on the ball in the later part of that quarter)

Tackles 16-12

We've had 35 kicks, 37 handballs, they've had 53 kicks and 35 handballs.

[P-man 13,366]

Poor skill execution I expect but laziness? Still?

[wattsup 470]

All I can say is thank god for beer we will get spanked today look like chooks with there heads chopped off

[olisik 4,060]

So whose the touted #1 draft pick this year?

[Deecisive 1,709]

Absolutely woeful, no pressure on port, the few poor tackles we managed to do usually lead to a port free for high contact. I dont know if its their zone defense or inability to man up but port if finding it remarkably easy to rebound from our stuff ups.

Clark and Viney the only two working their butts off.

[Sir Why You Little 36,982]

May the 2nd Quarter improve...PLEASE!!!!

[Kiss of Death 747]

So where's Toumpas?

[3183 Dee 2,853]

It's just too easy for Port ATM - bypassing our midfield too easily. Can't hang anything on Watts, he's not been too bad. Positives: Viney, Howe, Clarke. We're getting better at centre clearances. Here we go for 2Q...

[ThreeOneSix 954]

I don't even rate Dawes, but he will help our structure alone ten fold.

Clarke kicked two goals in succession and they take him off!
Then Howe bombed it in and we had no-one, Port taken it down the other end and goaled, bad coaching move to take him off.

Dawes will help alot, if Sellar can't hold onto marks he is useless.

[Chook 15,012]

All I can say is thank god for beer we will get spanked today look like chooks with there heads chopped off

That's disrespectful to chooks. We a mile off the second worst team I've seen this round.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Viney 8 disposals in his first q of afl football.

[titan_uranus 24,974]

So far, Viney aside, we sound like Melbourne of 2012. Same issues - no structure, no clearance work, no pressure, no hardness, not enough inside 50s.

[Cards13 9,117]

May the 2nd Quarter improve...PLEASE!!!!

Buuuppp booowww under 30 seconds goal Port....

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

Gillies... shocker...

[titan_uranus 24,974]

Another goal to Port. 45-19.

Hartlett is killing us. 10 touches and 2 goals.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

My mate is at the game sms'd me the following:

'Slow, unorganised, reactionary so far'

[P-man 13,366]

Could be over by halftime if this keeps up.

[titan_uranus 24,974]

We're continually trying to free Watts up as a loose man in defence. 3AW is very critical of this. Watts isn't giving us anything, and in turn, they've scored 7 goals, so it's clearly not working. What it's doing is confusing our defenders and causing others to mop up after Watts who isn't manning up on anyone.

[wattsup 470]

We are the worst football side in the comp and by a long way I am disgusted

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

Robert Walls - our fitness isnt up to scratch. A worrying comment for second quarter round 1

[Crompton's the man 659]

That familiar pain is back
