POSTGAME: Rd 22 vs Port Adelaide

[Demonland 72,521]

Well the Demons chances to make their fourth consecutive finals series have been dashed and the season is officially over after going down by 2 points to the Port Adelaide Power at the MCG. 

[layzie 33,882]

Can't fault the effort, proud of the boys.

Just lacked polish..

[jnrmac 20,109]

Brainless coaching staff

16 brainless footballers

 

No idea what to do

Deplorable skills

Useless

[SPC 3,551]

What is the opposite of a coaching masterclass? 

[Clintosaurus 7,852]

Umps refused to pay us HTB. What a bunch of cheats.

[Jaded No More 68,970]

Good effort. But Christ almighty we are a really poorly skilled team. And some of the decision making is mind boggling. 

I really am counting down the days until this season is done. It’s been painful.

Effort is bare minimum. Polish is what they need to show.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

We truly are the turn-over kings. 

Also, Fritsch actually should have been selfish with that goal opportunity. Tholstrup was never kicking that.

[praha 11,240]

Port, GWS, Carlton, Brisbane.

Four games we lose through just dumb football. 

Like why are you hanging back defensively with 1 minute left? Push up! Put pressure on them.

Anyway, good riddance this season. Let us never talk about it again. 

[John Crow Batty 8,871]

Game  lost by dog**** disposal in the last quarter.

[Wells 11 5,410]

great effort by the boys. Billing’s and Tholstrup terrible misses … you can’t afford that in close games. 

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

Blindly bombing the ball to f-ing no-one time after time.

[Fork 'em 6,986]

[Demon4ever 173]

Billings should never get another game! Just awful!

[Bates Mate 4,506]

Effort was there but we have 2-3 of our 22 who have smarts and composure. Kozzie, macveigh , Melksham. I might have missed a couple but gees we just don't choose or execute the right option most of the time

[defuture15 899]

2 of the softest efforts today

Freo now Port

Im on the Doggies

[Pennant St Dee 13,261]

@dazzledavey36 embarrassing post in game day thread re Clarrie, you’re better than that

As for the game can’t fault players effort but some dumb decisions with ball in hand

[Sir Why You Little 37,056]

We can’t score.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Great effort from the boys. Heart was there, just need to work on skills, which let us down in pivotal moments.

2 more games, let’s give us something to work towards in 2025.

 

[ElDiablo14 5,000]

We really lack a lot of class and footy IQ in our midfield.

Max too soft when the contest was hot.

Just rest Max for the rest of the year please, all I am asking for.

Tholstrup should have disposed of the ball when he marked 30 m out, we had clear path to goal. Instead he almost kicked out in the full. These kids will learn.

[Deeoldfart 8,054]

Well I’m very proud of our boys tonight.  Severely undermanned, but we took it all the way down to the wire!

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Billings bye bye

who ever keeps selecting him bye bye

Stafford bye bye

[Sydee 4,454]

Another very stark example as to why we desperately need to get into this draft and find some quality mids that can actually dispose effectively 

The contrast between Butters and JHF and what we dished up skills wise was light years apart 

Endeavour great but skills are deplorable 

[Jibroni 5,004]

We dont need Houston

If Oliver needs surgery end his season now.

Goodwins coaching was poor tonight.

Kozzy was fantastic
