Found a post wondering if Ken Hinkley ever reviewed the 2021 Prelim loss.

Not sure if that's a good or a bad omen.

Maybe for 3 years time

    Not sure why they are so pessimistic. I give them a reasonable chance of claiming the upset. We deserve to start favorites but i cant see it being a blowout.

    They are actually a decent side that is out of form early.

    This aged well.......................

    some highlights from page 2 of the pear bf post-game thread...

    Lost our last 5, 4 of those at AO. But yeah, we're on the right track just need to work harder.

    It was a dishonest performance, playing keepings off and trying to control the ball with slow sideways kicks in defence.

    It was purposely orchestrated to keep the margin close, and for the coaches to pat themselves on the back with a 5 goal loss to Melbourne.

    A few late goals when the Demons put the cue in the rack means nothing.

    It was a pathetic performance, a team that is disconnected, poorly skilled with a dysfunctional forward line.
     
    If you just looked at the score and saw that we lost by 32 points it doesn't seem that bad. In reality we should've lost by 10 goals. A goalless half was disgusting and something that Port has never dished up in the AFL before. The pressure on Ken continues to build.
     
    A demon player almost broke sweat

    That was the equivalent of a bye for the dees
     
    It's a shame Melbourne couldn't put their foot down but I guess they got bored. Why bother injuring yourself against a bottom 2 side
     
    Jeebus early April and the season's done. Who woulda thunk it

    This is exactly what Brisbane are thinking too. How many Finals have they lost ín the last few years, I reckon their record is worse. Long May it continue

    It wasn't just a goaless half.

    It was  a goaless 2 quaters and 22 miinutes. Or 4 minutes short of a goaless 3 quarters.

    That's the issue Port folks should be looking at.

    Does Port have a fan forum other than fb?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
