Game Day Round 4 - Port Adelaide v Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Friday 5/4/24, 8.10pm AEDST

You have been pointing this out for a long time and it is true. But we don't really have a bunch of athletes either like Port have.

The lack of any athletes is a big problem.

 

[Call Me Cake]

I can put this horrid night behind us if we can regroup and be competitive again, but if this sort of sh*t repeats regularly then oh boy, will put a stain on Scott's image.

 

[Learntopray]

I think we really missed Durhams dynamism around the ball tonight. Only mid we have that can really break away with agility.

 

[ghostdog]

We should have traded parish when we had the chance instead of giving him 6 years.

He's really not justifying his contract tonight, but neither are a lot of them.

Duz out is having a massive impact defensively through the middle as well.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Game was over before he came on. He is a fringe player. The least of our problems.

Doesn't mean my observation is not relevant though?

 

[BomberManU]

Probably three games in thinking the cobwebs of how we finished last year were gone. Nope. And dealing with a smashing earlier in the year makes it less likely that we'll continue being disillusioned. This is a reality check we needed as macabre as it sounds.

We're not good enough for a 'reality check'. We're shit, that's the reality. Just like we're not good enough to have 'danger games'.

 

[rumply]

I think this says more about the Saints than it does us, but we all knew this already, right???

 

[yodellinhank]

Yeah, we'd have another 19 opportunities for him to show his value. Not sure who's about that would be suitable though.

His value? He is pretty meh and on the fringes of his preferred position at a junk club that's likely bottom 8. That's not exactly the type of player that gets targeted.

Value is what he'd be taken for. The type of player another bottom side takes as a DFA for depth instead of taking 5th-6th round picks.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I can put this horrid night behind us if we can regroup and be competitive again, but if this sort of sh*t repeats regularly then oh boy, will put a stain on Scott's image.

I don’t think Scott is the type to let this sort of thing slide

 

[MightyDon]

These kinds losses are a bit easier to cop when you can see something you are building towards, we have been building towards nothing for a decade a copping these losses each and every year

 

[FootyGuru]

The lack of any athletes is a big problem.

We have athletes who aren’t footballers, and footballers that aren’t athletes.

Our kicking across the list is woeful.

We lost Massimo because we offered him 1 year. Even as a forward he would have more influence than menzie and hind.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Game was over before he came on. He is a fringe player. The least of our problems.

Why didn't we let Caddy be the sub? Why Hind? At least putting games into Caddy would've made sense.

If Caddy doesn't get a chance with Hind being poo, Menzie clearly heading for the 2's and Perkins being injured then this club is well and truly f*****ed.

 

[sacka]

Well at least they waited till round 4 to stick it in dry this year, better than round 1 or 2 like the last few years

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

McKay is probably the only bloke who can hold his head up.

 

[Happyskeret]

Doesn't mean my observation is not relevant though?

Say what you want and so will I.

 

[Learntopray]

Game was over before he came on. He is a fringe player. The least of our problems.

He is symptomatic of the lack of care and professionalism.
Why are you taking the piss down 70 odd?
