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

From where I sat our defeat was down to our refusal to play genuine, wet weather football.

It is not the sort of day to indulge in the much-vaunted handball club. Every possession it takes to progress forward is a risk you take. And so often we led opponents to the ball and either fumbled or overran it. The latter was particularly evident in our backline with our attack on the ball.

Again, there are two places to be crumbing when marks are contested on a wet day. In front of the pack in case a wet heavy ball drops short, or behind for when the slippery ball passes through grasping hands. So often the only ones behind the contest were Port players.

Aggressive fast play is great, but it must be modified to suit the conditions.

At times it reminded me of a wet weather game we played there a few years ago where we just refused to get the ball moving forward by foot to take territory and overhandled it.

Half backs we look OK. Richards, Caleb, Dureya, JJ, Williams. Who do you want to replace?

But he is not a KPD.

Steven May 193cm
Adam tomlimsom 193cm
Nick murray 194cm
Alex pearece 197cm

TOB 192 cm - not really KPD??

Bont is 193cm and he also is not a KPD.

Same happened to Hannan last week. Is there a new rule that any Bulldogs player who gets legged in the goal square mustn't get a free kick?

We should be complaining to the AFL about the umpires being either incompetent, or they are cheats.

I thought we generally got a pretty good run with the umps last night. Was only that one decision, which I’ll admit was an important one in context although nowhere near as poor as the Hannan miss the week before.

Yeah, I meant for the illegal tackles around the legs.

You know that tripping was once a reportable offence and Jimmy Krakouer got a long suspension.

I think that's actually called prison, and I'm not sure if tripping was the offense.

May have been tripping another way.

This is interesting. No consistence in AFL

Our struggles in getting it forward confirmed here in the stats for disposals and inside 50s per goal. Every goal feels exhausting.

To be fair, it wasn't exactly a night to be a forward. Aliir only took four marks for the game. ....

Weightman kicked 4. There's no way I'd want to pot Naughton but are we too ready to find excuses ?

From the Tackle today in the Herald Sun. It must help with Landsberger a contributor to this article.

NOISE OF AFFIRMATION

Aliir Aliir’s desperation in defence has been rightly lauded recently. There was that goalline spoil to save the game after the final siren against Sydney and a similar effort to deny Jamarra Ugle-Hagan a goal on Saturday night. But you still have to execute legally, and his rundown tackle on Aaron Naughton in the goalsquare during the tense fourth quarter should’ve been penalised for a trip. Aliir clung on to Naughton’s left leg below his knee and dragged him to the ground. The certain goal would’ve cut the margin to three points with eight minutes on the clock. You had to wonder what the goal umpire and boundary umpire, who had a perfect view of the incident, were thinking as they stood there powerless to intervene as all four field umpires failed to pick up on the crucial error.

Bit of economy with the footy would be nice. Always trying to move the mountain to Mohammed

Not much a boundary umpire could do.

Bont is stiff. But I guess he was no where to be seen when the whips were cracking at the finish.

So both coaches gave 5 to Zak and 4 to Weightman. Houston also got votes from both coaches. Jones only one coach. English only one coach. Marshall only one coach. Aliir only one coach.

Aliir only got votes off one coach? That is a suprise.

For example.

Coach A

Zak 5
Weightman 4
Houston 3
Marshall 2
Jones 1

Coach B

Zak 5
Weightman 4
Aliir 3
English 2
Houston 1
