    Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R10 2020

    Ports pressure went up and we are found wanting BIG time
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

      They brought the heat in the middle that qtr.

      We can't sustain a game plan that requires us to win clearances and I50's by 10-20 to squeak over the line. Good teams will get their turn to dominate in the middle, and we will get obliterated when they do.

        We need to score 24 points in the last term to hit the front, if Port don't score.....we've only scored 23 points in 3Qtrs.
        Goodnight...

          Bruce & Bont playing largely as a key forward have taken 1 mark between them.

          Naughton can't come back quick enough.

            They were going half rat power in the first half.

            As soon as they flicked the switch, we were laughably outmatched.
            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

              No way were we going to sustain that first half pressure. Like usual, we used all the Petrol vouchers and couldn’t score. It was just a matter of time. I’m now waiting for port to put the foot on the throat and send us back to Qld with a 40+ point loss.
              I will never see #16 the same!!

                Our only weapon is effort.

                That's the sign of a bottom 6 squad. When effort declines even slightly, we're irrelevant against half decent opposition.

                We need a list and coaching clean-up.

                  Apart from four magical weeks has this handball game been super effective? We persist almost in hope. I find it a frustrating tactic; easily countered. Shame the effort fell away when challenged in that quarter. Port have dominated the air 18 contested marks to 1 now.

                    Look Port were always going to come. They got a roll and our mids struggled to handle it. This game was lost (yes I am assuming that we cannot kick 4 unanswered goals) at the selection table (again). Bruce cannot be the sole marking forward. He does enough to bring the ball to ground, but it makes us one dimensional. You can't beat the better teams with that approach.

                      The game plan is fine... we don’t have the personnel to implement it.

                      So I guess the game plan for this team isn’t going to work against the decent teams.

                        Game over now. 23 points down. Getting smashed at the contest. Jekkel and Hyde performance. We are well off the pace and I can't see us getting better overnight.

                          That mark from Bruce was on the wing too!

                            Adelaide will beat us the way we’re going. I hope they do too because it’s about the only things that’ll instigate some serious change. We’re a long way off being a competitive finals side. We’ve got players regressing when they should be hitting their prime. This only 4 hrs after a flag. Something just isn’t right and it’s time to figure it out, make the hard calls and start all over again

                              I liked the intent. But for some reason. No reward for effort just drains the players. Is this style sustainable unless its pin point... we should have been 25 plus up at half time. So even going into the 3rd. But. We will go down by 50 plus after being ahead at HT
