We played like it was 2005

Dont know what happend to our game plan, not sure why spud was on the wing, and urquhart was in the foward line. Not sure why we kicked it backwards and sideways, or why we lost to a bottom 4 side. But it reminded of me of how we played in 2005. Poor Football

Campbell Tried all day so did thomas, hale and Pratt. Midfield was very poor except for Harvey. Simmo and Rawlings just wenrnt up to it today

Maybe it was just a once of bad day. hopefully

I think you mean 2006, but you are correct in your assessment of our style today. I think it just comes down to JYD's negativity when the heat is on.

I thought we played like it was 1972 thats how bad we were.

Didn't many of our supporters on bigfooty want Firrito in the midfield? Well that worked didn't it.

He means the 2005 Elimination final not the Tredrea "PHONE" game both horrible games of footy

I was thinking what the hell Laidley was playing at, Spud played defence all season why change it now

I hate Port Adelaide and sick of them smashing us in big games.

Firrito is a midfielder, not a defender. You can't judge him on yesterday. If you judged everyone on yesterday's game then we only have 2 or 3 AFL footballers.

It was only a big game for one of the teams out there.

They played the kinda carefree footy you can when there is absolutely nothing riding on the result and we get to play in the finals.

I know in which position I would rather be.

I understand the sentiment here...
But it was to gain a double a chance as opposed to having to play a sudden death game against a finals hardened side interstate... we haven't played in a bigger game this year than yesterday. Carefree or not carefree you just shouldn't drop these games.
