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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
