POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide

[Demonland 72,170]

Just another Thursday night in the City of Churches 

[In Harmes Way 7,768]

Should have started this thread at half time

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

Ordinary start but we went on to crush a pretender side.

That's what premiers do!!!

Then we give away junk time [censored] which costs me a big  40+ margin bet . FMD !!!!  FMD again !!!!!!!

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,367]

For the majority of that game it was like watching a boa constrictor slowly crush it's next meal. We were really disjointed trying to go inside fifty though. Hawthorn at their peak would have won that game by 20 goals. 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

W W W W

🔥

So much wrist slitting.

We conceded 35 points

We are 4 and 0

Plenty of people have short memories, not long ago we were rubbish.  This was a complete defensive effort

[Jaded No More 68,907]

Neal Bullen spending so much time in the middle of the ground is part of the problem why we can’t keep the ball inside 50 for as long.  

[Nascent 9,212]

One of the most painful wins I've watched but it's still a win. Gawn, Harmes, May, Langdon and Jordan played well, not much else to take out of it except it was a win without Oliver and Petracca starring.

Hope Wines is OK.

lol

I was there in 1997 at Footy Park when Port ended Balme's coaching career.

Scoreboard doesn’t tell the story 

 

We [censored] killed them

[Pates 9,660]

Never looked like losing it to be honest, but won’t be rewatching any of that. That was a grind. 

Well done James Jordan, best game he’s played for us. 

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

Hated it to be honest. yes 4 points and no injuries.

so much to dislike 

forward entry’s and structure 

Pickett undisciplined 

slow boring football not good great in prime time slot 

[layzie 33,794]

We've been underwhelming and are 4-0. Not bad at all 

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Had we not been coming off 2 6 day breaks that would have been an 80 point win. The game was over at half time.

Best team defence in the game by a country mile.

Same here! 👿

[BDA 22,743]

Maxy back to his best

Very solid defensively

I won't be watching the replay

Another 4 points in the bag

Move on

[Accepting Mediocrity 1,418]

That was like watching 2022 Melbourne play 2014 Melbourne.

Ruthless.

[sisso 2,580]

Port flooded hardcore they were trying to minimise the damage all match…off 2 short breaks and 2 interstate trips not sure why any of our supporters could be upset by that…

[DEE fence 5,007]

Mega Frustrated- gift kills where we could have won by 20 goals are so rare  this was a big missed opportunity.

Still very happy for the win, and I loved tehe deefence.

[GCDee 3,199]

Love how we are banking wins playing in second gear. 

Offence will switch on when we need. 

[Chook 15,012]

Percentage won't matter if we never lose again.

We clearly put the cue in the rack at the end of the game, and if you don't believe that, Ed Langdon was on the bench at the end of the game.

[640MD 3,375]

Ok again 

how long since we won 4 wins start. Two years in a row. Must be in the 50’s

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Defensive side of our game was brilliant tonight. Work out the forward entry's and some poor side is going in the history books.

[Lord Travis 10,729]

Feels weird to feel unsatisfied when 4-0. We just know we can play so much better than we’ve shown this far this year. Doesn’t matter as long as we click into gear later in the year when it matters.

Carn the Dees!!

[monoccular 17,426]

We did what we needed to do - nothing flash but an absolutely strangling defence.

Need to spruce up our inside 50 delivery considerably ...... most were random and ugly. Felt sorry for weed and Fritter - even BBBBB would have struggled.
