Port Adelaide are exposing our form
I know it's early, and I risk being made a fool...
But Port are smashing the Hawks early.
Hawks are easily the 3rd worst team in the comp...And we made them look like a top four contender.
It really highlights how poor we were last week...
And...Yes...I am still annoyed at our performance!

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Port are already up by 6 goals and are likely to at least double that.

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
We are easily bottom 6 on current form.

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Correct, after last week you wouldn’t be confident against any team other than West coast.

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Port genuine top 8 contender
Saints genuine top 8 pretender
Based on what we are seeing in the Port V Hawks game , we will be lucky to win 3 more games for the year.

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Is Port exposing our form or the fact we lost by a goal to then showing last week was an anomaly and we have the ability to challenge top sides?
I believe Hawks absolutely set themselves for us at Marvel
Very different assignment on the road
Does that make our GWS win in Sydney more important re our form?
Regardless we have to improve from last week or it won’t matter
Actually this year does not matter
Just play kids
If we are exploring…explore!

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
It’s interesting…we did play poorly last week that’s fact
But when you look at our form…
Beat Nth by 30 and we are apparently woeful
Yet Pies beat them by 35 and are superstars…
Anyhow I just want to see the future now I know what this current core have to give and it’s not enough
Need to move on I think

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
The standard of the game vs north vs putrid
Was the worst game I’ve watched for years
Both teams disgusting

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Hawks are down by 82 points at half time.
That's 82.
At half time.
I think some of our experienced 'leaders' need to have a look at themselves.

For all the “noise” this is where it’s at
I’m looking squarely at our “experienced” mids and saying …where the f k r u?
Step up or step out time
I’d still prefer to see Owens in the guts

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
I think we are hunted
I think we need to get back to being hunters
But you need players who under push back pressure from opponents can go another gear
I don’t think we have them

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
You don’t reckon North could have played better?
I’m not sure, I don’t watch Collingwood because they are winning
I do know they shot out of the blocks in that game then coasted
I watched us vs North
It was awful- what was your assessment of it?
My view was it was a low standard game

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Or maybe it’s about the mental state you’re in come game time?
Adelaide were “on” against us
Obviously they were “off” last week
Even at the selection table when they decided to “rest” Walker

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
I hope the Saints are watching this, but of course, they are taking a break now..so probably playing gold, fishing or down the pub. Or Vegas? I wonder how many Saints are going to Vegas. Bali?

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
We haven’t played a good game since round 4. I few ok once and plenty of crap ones since then.

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Maybe onfield leaders with multiple B&Fs need to stand up?

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Did you expect Hawks to beat Port in Adelaide?
I didn’t
And I don’t think the coach asked Seb Ross to keep kicking the ball to Sicily…I’m certain that wasn’t the instructions
So why pot the coach?
We are second in AFL for points against
Our system - when executed properly by players - stands up against the best ?
Why would I pot the coach ??
Odd. Ya gotta move past your hatred Martin it’s clouding your judgement

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
This is Lyons first year at the helm of a largely B grade group.
It was always going to have significant ups and downs.
I’m still effing pissed about last weeks disaster, not just because we lost to a team that we should easily be 6 goals better than, but also because we’re repeating the exact same script we did last season.
We’re on track for the second half of the season being a complete disaster, unless the playing group is reprogrammed.
What really pisses me off is that it’s been 12 years of being in footy wilderness and we’re still at best, a bottom 10 team.
Almost a decade of an administration that promised greatest (two flags by now) and delivered two failed rebuilds, no finals (except the COVID stopgap year) arguably the worst use of a 1st pick, a 5 year contract to a midfielder well past his prime and a needless extension of two contracts for underperforming coaches.

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
Experienced players who haven't performed or aren't performing need to just stay in the reserves I think now. They can help to support the youth at Sandringham, and hopefully help them to win a few games.
We still have players getting games off reputations and they are the same ones who don't stand up when the pressure is on.
The Hawthorn loss speaks for itself really.
