Review Good bad ugly vs Port Adelaide R8 2024

[Moonwatcher]

Good - Curtin has more Showdown wins than JHF…..suck it ferals!!!!

Oh, that's good

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good: Fogarty getting some confidence in his game back

Was forced to be physical tonight. It suits him

 

[ThePrideOf]

Heading over to the port board for more of a dopamine lift! Must be in melt down

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Keane is a star back in defense. Will be a cult hero.

Good:
Soligo
Max
Rankine
Fog
Keane
Worrell

Bad:
McSpudley
Hindenburg
Not being able to get a HTB decision to go our way.

Ugly:
Port - are poor, have they had an easy draw, how are they in the 8?
Nicks - where do you start?

• Selecting Ned
• Selecting Hindenberg
• Subbing Curtain, disgusting for the kids first game

Good or Bad:
We could be a better side with a few player changes and player role changes, but Nicks aint going any where so we are wasting another season

 

[Crowbling]

And tredders not saying anything …. Does it get any better than this

It’s all good because premiership sides coach themselves according to the new Warren Tredrea.

 

[Golumless]

Escaped one there against Port, which makes it pretty sweet.

Good:

We may have just seen Soligo breakout into a star of the competition there. Really led from the front in a big game.
Rankine and Rachele was dangerous throughout and popped up with some key plays when needed. It was a scrap and our x-factor smalls produced.
Best game of the season from Fogarty. Early goals and the lad was immense around the ground.
Dawson, Laird and Crouch dug in and did a good job preventing a lot of fluency from Ports mids - that was the most dangerous part and they smothered it.
Defensively, I thought we were excellent. Worrell, Keane, Butts, Hinge and Max all came up with big plays and whilst they got lucky Port went 5.18, they did force difficult shots.
Nankervis took the biggest stage he's faced so far and came up with some big plays. Very promising.
Curtin looks a likely type, got unlucky being the odd-man-out with the sub seeing Hinge and Nankervis was balling and us having a sub that was going to move to the half back flank.

Bad:
Heat stepped up and Cook just disappeared.
That lack of fluidity in our ball movement - especially in the first 10 minutes of the last quarter. We looked like the moment got the better of us and lost all creativity and drive.
Worrell getting a 50 meter penalty, taking his time and turning it over on a 20 m kick. That dude got away with the kind of play that could have easily lost a game.

 

[Grooster24]

Thanks Powa. Playing Jones on Fog. What idiot thought to do that and give us a great start? Genius!

Was that Smith who kicked it out on the full? Dead set right on cue. Retire.

Only disgusting decisions were subbing Curtin and playing ned McHenry

. Can not believe Nick's tarnished a players first game for an old cooked Smith and one touch

Hey now, we have had Bigfooty experts visually confirm Curtin looked tired on the bench. Case closed.

Nicks was so reluctant to bring Worrel in originally. Supporter pressure forced his selection. Now he's a star.

No it didn't.

Doedee doing an ACL forced that selection (and a concussion the year before). Doedee was the problem Worrell faced, seeing we've only seen him as a third tall and he had a rather solid senior player being the incumbent.

 

[MRB37]

Our infamous shitty kick-in didn't help. Honestly, who thought this is the best way to exit your defensive 50s don't know basic football.

I thought for sure it'd work the 20th time we tried it.

 

[dogs105]

Great effort from Keane to stay and train through Christmas

 

[El Doederino]

McHenry was goo…..

He was goo ……

He was goo…….

He was good. s**t that was hard.

 

[MRB37]

Nicks was so reluctant to bring Worrel in originally. Supporter pressure forced his selection. Now he's a star.

Same way we only got Nankervis in because someone got sick on gameday.

 

[NSolis]

Another notable positive: winning after a 5 day break following travel. Definitely not a great second half but taking that into account it's a terrific result. Decent break before the next game now.

 

[dogs105]

Keane is a very interesting man to listen to as well. Great story

 

[MRB37]

Keane is a star back in defense. Will be a cult hero.

Doesn't mind a bit of a niggle, so he's fitting in perfectly with Worrell and even Max has started getting stuck into guys a bit this year. Love the mongrel they're building back there.

 

[GrommoT]

Good: Managed to follow what Keane was saying ... only just.

 

[Grooster24]

Must change our kick-ins. Same unsuccessful sh!t every time. We're better running the opposite side in the open and kick to a 2 on 2 rather than the crap we've been doing.

 

[spenze]

Great win

We seriously need to rethink Laird in the guts, we were murdered in the middle today, we need to break even at worst.

Himmler is frustrating, actually does some good things but getting pushed out like he did by Burton, jeez mate minimise your distance between good and bad

 

[Bearded Clam]

Good

fog, soligo, nank, worrell, rankine, tex, keane, butts, sholl

Bad:

mchenry - seriously.. the lad is absolute crap. Looked like he hobbled off at the end of the game though so hopefully wont be available next week. But will probably be replaced by that i\other useless waste of space murphy..

Laird - complete hack

ROB - bloke is the reverse midus.. everything he touches just turns to shite.

Ugly

Nicks subbing Curtin off for a cooked smithers.. why the fuxk would you?.. does he seriously have so small amount of confidence in our youth?..

 

[George Kramer]

The first of many Showdown medals for Soligo.

What a player he is going to be.

Fancy if we played him in the middle the first few weeks...

Fancy if we played him in the middle from the beginning. Remember arguing with a few very early that get him off the wing and put him in the middle. He could have had 40 games in the middle by now.

And how about that idiot Nicks subbing him against Collingwood last year. Or starting him sub against Gold Coast. Now go back in time, had Soligo finished his year last year like he’s playing now, would he have been the sub? Hell no!!!

 

[Geoffa32]

Played with purpose and intent.

Defensive structure held up.


Worrell starting to become a very important player.


Said before the game just need to break even in the middle, our bookends are far better.

We did that

Why didn’t rozee kick the ball all night? Another port doctor masterclass

He seems to lose all objectivity when the power play the crows.
