Unfortunately he seems to be made of glass

He couldn’t have helped breaking his ankle in that contest.

Ouch Narkle, he has looked good this year.

BT still trying to understand what an intercept mark is. 

can he learn on his own time??

It’s cringeworthy, he’s spent the last 5 mins trying to belittle his fellow commentators for saying “intercept mark”, not just a mark. Time to hang it up Brian.

Dangerfield is one of the worst divers in the game, he should be embarrassed by his antics.

Joe D just has zero game sense, makes so many odd decisions. 

Cats are 88-12 in the last 100 games at the litter tray (thanks @Rab D Nesbitt that’s a belter).

Why is everyone going for Brisbane?

Surely we take any loss we can get from Brisbane and keep them away from top 2. I have no interest in facing Brisbane at the GABBA in a qualifying or prelim final in the event we don’t finish top 2 or stuff up a home qualifying final.

Because we f k n hate the cats!!

I take any predictions from Gary Pert with a grain of salt.

He was the CEO when our banged up 2018 team had a crappy pre-season and subsequent crappy 2019 season - any mention of concern from him or the board at the time? Nuh. All to suck in new members on the positive 2018 finals campaign.

"Welcome to SEN Perty before he 2019 season, great to have you, how do you think the team will go this year on the field and how will that help the club off the field?"

Good question, first of all while we had a great 2018 season we were really disappointed with the Prelim loss, I know Goody has burnt that tape hahaha... anyway our expectations of this season are very low, we had a heap of guys limp to the finish line last season and a heap of players go in for surgery really late in the preseason.. don't get me started on the plonker we have as our Dr I know Goody is going to have a sharp word with him hahahha... anyway based on that we're stuffed and will barely make the 8... as to how that translates to off field, we're really chasing lots of sponsors to pay us big dollars and want heaps of new members to make sure we stay profitable... go dees!"

How long have we been doing this, the last 2 and a bit seasons? It’s incredible that it just works. Teams still structure up as if we might go to the right but it is almost always long down the line to the left.

Also, that was some terrible umpiring.

There were so many instances of the players from both sides having no idea who the free kick had been awarded to.

Also, the decision to pay a mark to Drew after it had clearly bounced in and out of Viney's hands may well be the single worst umpiring decision I've ever seen.

(But the two deliberates against us for moving the ball forward, but then not paying it against the Port player who picked the ball up in our forward line in the fourth and just walked over the line, that was also bad).

The messages in the group chat last night were mainly “wtf was that free kick for?!”.

It was like the umps were searching for frees to pay, they didn’t “let the game come to them” and only pay what we’re actual frees.
New directive from the AFL, let’s make a slogfest an even harder watch for fans by paying more free kicks?

I thought an undermanned Port gave good effort all game right until the end, didn't totally drop their bundle skills wise either, continued to take risks and took on the game to an exent. 

They were just out classed by a much better team.  I'd be ok with that as a Port supporter as far as the players they put on the park.

Port kept the pressure up all night as you said, they just ran into the buzz saw that is our defence and couldn’t finish the shots from long ranges in the angles we did give up.

At best an example of our brilliant defence and defensive game-plan, at worst fumbly, ugly, over-possessing, wiffly footy. Assuming it was dewy, cos our skills were very ordinary. Last quarter fade-out fair enough considering 3 games in 18 days. I think. 

The structure is just incredible to watch, seeing us move down the field in a defensive structure is amazing. Pushing teams fwds to the boundary for shots on goal, so impressive. May looked a lot less grumpy this week with Lever back in haha.

We’ve looked fumbly and double grabby the last 2 weeks in particular. Credit to Port they did keep the pressure on for most of the game but we just look a little off at the moment, fascinating to see how we go next week against a “better” team.

We also don’t look confident in our fwds or concerned about the very deep zone other teams are putting up, the deliver into the fwd 50 is stuttering.

Always a chance….

If the dogs can get 30 plus frees each week by gaming the system then I’m happy to get a couple as well 😂

Even so, Weightman doesn’t do what Spargs just did and is hammered in here…. But of balance lad.

17 minutes ago, —coach— said:

what the one he got when the guy wrapped an arm around his neck in the tackle?

Come on mate, take off the blue and red glasses, there was a “little lean” into that. 

Anyone with an issue with Weightman needs to check Spargs free just then….. 

Did Jobe, I’ve lost my medals, just call Weid Weitering?!

Both last week and this week we’re not confident going into fwd 50, looks slow and not confident with our set up/targets.

Sparrow what a terrible kick.

Kozzi, we all love him but he just seems off season to date.

Is it damp or dewy, we are double grabbing everything it feels like.

BBB is a big out for us, Weid needs to present.

Why was it a free then? The Hunt tackle then, the sport player had more prior.

Spargs had prior?

It would be a nice place without the rabid afl fans.

I really enjoy the visits to Adelaide, it’s a lovely little town.
