GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs Port Adelaide

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Viney has played only 68% game time.  I expect him to play a bit more in this last term.

We've got it all to do, but we can do it.  I'm backing us in.

Hunt looking like the player of old.

Great signs

The 6.6.6. rule should help jHunt,  and maybe Frost...  and should suit stretch.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Why we think we can play weid in the ruck and Petracca on the ball is beyond me.

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

As I said before the game, if we win we win ugly.

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

no consistency.... 3 goals in three minutes and two behinds for the rest of the quarter.

Simply no midfield pressure

[loges 6,767]

We have just not been good enough.

[forever demons 2,232]

good grief this is terrible

[McQueen 17,867]

Cannot wait for May to displace Frost from the backline. 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

I think we've got this, but it's going to be ugly.

I reckon we'll kick a few quick ones to start though...

[Deecisive 1,709]

disappointing effort that quarter. so many players not in the game at all. need to life big time to win this against a pretty ordinary team in port.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

How about T Mac down back & Frost in the ruck?

Why would viney kick to Spargo in a one on one

When he was standing behind his man. 

[dees189227 12,400]

Gee looking at our huddle the number of players sitting down haunching over. 

We need a massive final quarter from everyone. It feels like we are 4 goals behind but its only 8. Come on Melbourne scrap it out

So does anyone remember what the equivalent game was at this point last year?

We are playing mostly poorly, they are playing fairly well, but still very much there for our winning.

Carn the DEMONS!

[forever demons 2,232]

omac is not an afl player

[Goffer 256]

Won’t make finals playing like this never mind flags. Concede the four points today and look at switching things around. Stupid move bringing in Preuss if he wasn’t going to be played, bad mistake from coaching panel

[titan_uranus 25,044]

How many times will TMac and Weidemam get caught jumping at the same ball? Infuriating. 

Viney calling for it from Salem, then turning it over to give them a goal, was appalling leadership IMO. 

[Dockett 32 1,239]

Geez led like to know the individual tackle count. Not enough Grunt.

Back to the bruise free stuff.

Bit better that quarter I suppose but we’ll down. Their kick ins isolate seem precise and to plan and we have a number of midgets unable to match them in the air.

Really struggles.  He has been exposed again as not good enough.   

[Watson11 2,243]

Cameron Mooney’s comments about the Port 3 qtr time comment interesting.  “Melbournes forwards don’t defend well”  Enough said,

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

From the AFL website:

Superior ball use allowed Port Adelaide to continue to dominate on the outside in the third term. The Power recorded 11 more effective kicks and 25 more uncontested possessions.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

We look absolutely knackered. It's like Port is playing in different conditions. I know some of our boys are a little underdone with game time, but it's not a great look.

Gotta suck in the big ones this QTR and do what a top 4 team would do/needs to do - take our 4 points.

[dazzledavey36 55,360]

We are done.. 

[DSP 1,488]

Leaders really need to stand up this qtr.

 

Cmon Dees.
