GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs Yartapuulti

[YearOfTheDees 3,263]

Only positive I can see is that I'm not the silly [censored] with $50,000 on them to win but at least 6 points.

Goody said before the game he does give the team a spray if it's required. I'd say tonight is the time again 

[Lord Travis 10,457]

Pathetic. That was the worst quarter our current midfield has ever played.

WHY IS EVERYONE IN A PORT JUMPER BY THEMSELVES?

On the flip side we are under pressure every time we get the ball. 

[MurDoc516 1,487]

We have to be the worse side in the AFL at going for the ball and keeping it front of us. 

Every time we pick the ball we are so easily pushed/bumped off the ball and the ball goes tumbling out to the opposition favoured side while we have 3 players running to the other side for a cheap one.

[leave it to deever 17,446]

Lever used to be our best player.

I've never seen Max and Teac so uninvolved.

[Brownie 5,856]

Those dogs are absolutely smashing our captain up.

Still in it.

Come on Naarm. Punch back

Was there a replay of Oliver’s throw?

 

They rarely replay when the umpire gets it wrong. 

[P-man 13,366]

The only way is up in terms of stoppage work. Abysmally bad that half.

[Nascent 8,632]

Would love for someone to stand up for Max. Butters, and just about every other port player, bumps into him at every opportunity. Hell even a 4 gamer in Lord had the nerve to put a dirty elbow into his back. Stand up for your captain ffs.

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

MIA: JVR, Kossie, Lever, Viney and Tmac

Port are super clean with the ball compared to us

This is why I bang on about clearances.

We need clearances, we need first use of the ball because we need to be playing in front because as soon as the game becomes a scrap we are no good.

Lucky we have the best midfield we’ve ever had then. Weird how ineffective they are. It just doesn’t add up

[Jaded No More 67,634]

If this midfield group doesn’t get their head ripped off at half time by the coaches, for this lifeless, soft, insipid performance, then I’m not sure when they will.

This.

[Lord Travis 10,457]

JVR is a bright young talent, but jeez he runs under the ball repeatedly and is basically uncompetitive. He doesn’t have any support. Brown should’ve come in instead of TMac. At least he draws a man, free kicks, and was kicking goals before injury. 

[chook fowler 19,248]

Zero clearances. WTF. The coaches need to sort it.

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Dees haven't showed up 

Some pretty poor efforts out there ATM 

[Dee Zephyr 19,149]

They are getting stuck into Gawn again. Someone fly the flag and help out the captain ffs. 

[Demon Disciple 11,615]

We are playing afraid. Afraid of [censored] it up, afraid of losing.

Where has a g&d from 2021 gone. We were relentless in our attack and endeavour, now we are way too regimented in our ‘systems’ that when it doesn’t go according to plan we are all at sea.

[D4Life 2,405]

12 frees to 7 and we got first three.

clarrie called for throws

but Port multiple one handed throw, Powell pepper double handed over top of his head

umpiring is so bad

max pushed in back constantly only free in centre against him for blocking a joke

Still demons need to lift

Umps influenced by the moron crowd noise.

It's always the way there. Always.

Max needs to show some leadership. Getting some treatment, but needs to work his way through it

Let Mark Williams loose on them at half time.

They need a spray and it needs to revolve around not putting head over the ball to pick it up.

Forunate

*Very* forunate. 
 

I’d go as far as to say: tremendously lumky 

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,379]

It’s the midfield.

Forwards are not getting a look, backs are under siege.

Midfield cannot clear and move the ball.
