Outplayed all night..

Don't bother whinging about free kicks etc...

PA simply outplayed us all night....our mideld was beaten and forward line very poor. Our defence was very good though.

They applied good pressure over 4 quarters and we wilted.

We were lucky to get within 10 points of them, we were totally s.hit all night.

Poor disposals, dropped marks, fumbles, slips.

really poor and very very dissapointing.

They were out on their legs and the loss of Gram and Ray hurt us. Don't underestimate how hard the game against Freo was last week.

Yes, I will whinge about the umpiring as it was freakin' pitiful. May not have seen us win the game, but it did have an influend. We seem to have to just wear bad decisions. Bit like that game a few years ago when the umpiring department openly admitted the frees were dubious at best.

I think tonight we definitely missed Gram's long kicking and breaking through the lines.

No need to say we missed Riewoldt cos that's a given.

Even allowing for the slippery conditions are ball use was often poor..particularly up forward.

Lots of "blasting" at goals..

Not picking on Sam Fisher..but when the game was live he had a team mate in support and could of run in closer but chose instead to blast away.

Port were well coached and first to the ball. The better team on the night.

Deserved their win.

Lenny won't turn over the ball that many times for the rest of the year!

The coaches and players have an opportunity to sort it next week.

Yes, some poor decisions.

The boys looked off.

But PA applied great pressure and for mine were the better team on the night.

Also agree. Can't underestimate how important Gram's run and carry is for us these days.

Such a horrible game to watch :(

Ball use was very poor
Decision making was very poor
Kicking at targets was horrible
Turnover were almost unbelivable they were so bad.

Port deserved to win no doubt. We were disgraceful tonight and I hope Ross Lyon kicks their ass on the track this week because on that performance we wont get within 10 goals of the Bulldogs

Yes, there were a few times we looked to Fisher to kick long goals. I think he kicked one and missed two or three... normally this is Gram's job, and Gram seems a bit more suited to it I think.

I didn't realise Gram didn't play until reading this thread.

Alcohol is bad.

Gram was out on Thursday. Ray caught me out...seriously, I would have changed my footy tips, had I known most of our runners were gone.
