That?s a win gone begging but whatever. We were completely set up to fail by this circlejerk bullshit fake round and it?s not like there?s no positives to take from it like the first two weeks.

Yeah in the one week when all but two teams have an away game it sucked to draw one of those two. Gather round is absolute bullshit. Play the derby that week for gods sake.

Nice respect by Port there lining up for Libba?

He has played pretty well. Sure that was a stuff up. But others have been worse.

He played a part in 3 of the goals they scored in the last quarter. Rely on these kind of players fall by these kinds of players. I really hope it wasn't an "educated" decision taking Bruce off.

Cool. We’ll just let Horne Francis run the show in the last quarter and Bont can have a rest up forward while they take the game away from us.

Agree. How did we end up being one of only two teams that played a home team. Sure we didn’t give up a home ground advantage but still would have preferred being one of the neutral teams.

I'm with you, I thought he was ok all up. Generally used the ball ok, was pretty good defensively overall. I'd much rather he have the ball than Bruce.

Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R5 2022 Saturday April 15 7:50PM, Adelaide Oval

it’s our completely stupid, overstacked forward line I despise. Lobb, Naughton and Marra all on the field and we kick it to Hannan and Weightman.

Weightman was brilliant, but he’s still a medium forward flying for marks. We still have no crumber in a forward line designed to bring the ball to ground.

They’re so annoying to watch. Totally unbalanced and just a ridiculous waste of cap space.

Lobb has been seriously disappointing. Aside from the relief he provides English, he's been so uncompetitive.

Marra was useless tonight.

Hannan was Hannan.

Naughton tried.

But yeah, sick of seeing our talls all run to the same spot and then we have no crumbers.

We are the most unnatural football club.

Question. Does Gardner allow Marshall to take that contested mark that changed the game? No. He doesn’t. Back to the VFL O’Brien.

Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R5 2022 Saturday April 15 7:50PM, Adelaide Oval

I came on to post this exact thing.

The conditional effort and intensity around the footy let's the entire team down. They lost us that game, shameful effort.

Same. Old. Story.

Not sure what he was supposed to do against Marshall in two of those instances. Having Bruce go off was the bigger issue. Bigger still are Lobb’s misses down the other end.

I thought TOB was ok. That was a good mark in the conditions.

How it got down there is more my concern.

Loved Liam Jones' game.

Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R5 2022 Saturday April 15 7:50PM, Adelaide Oval

Hate these types of losses where I know we had the chances to win. They seemed to handle the wet conditions better than we did. A bad error in the end gave them the game.

Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R5 2022 Saturday April 15 7:50PM, Adelaide Oval

The sobering thing for me is that we're nowhere near contending for a flag. Miles away. But we recruited Jones and Lobb to do exactly that.

The longer we put off the rebuild/refresh/whatever you want to call it, the longer we'll be in no man's land. Good enough to float around the 8, but that's it.

Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R5 2022 Saturday April 15 7:50PM, Adelaide Oval

The only surprise for me was that we didn’t crumble earlier and watch them pile on more goals late.

Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R5 2022 Saturday April 15 7:50PM, Adelaide Oval

Painful loss that one our bottom 3-4 continue to hurt us.

Jones and English unbelievable.
