Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
I think we've seen the best of Steele. At his peak he was an absolute gun but now I think he's more just a serviceable midfielder in the rotation. I don't think he can be "the man" anymore. We're crying out for a Petracca/Reid/Horny Francis explosive type.

Easy to highlight 1 or 2 errors or poor efforts....but everyone makes them
Jack Sinclair was our best on ground, but he gifted Port Adelaide a crucial goal when scores were even. It gave Port the momentum and a handy buffer at 3/4 time.
There's a big difference between a skill error and choosing not to try.
That footage of Steele, our captain, was very alarming.

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
So Henry was in best position to run down JHF what would have been achieved if Steele ran behind them? I'm sure CRIPPS would hand over to SAAD when chasing too.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Sun 30 Jun 2024 11:49pm JHF was shown pushing Steele off the ball, Steele stopped dead and watched Henry try to go with The Iceman but couldn't get near him.
Commentators showed this and said Steele just gave up

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
Steele is not the first and won’t be the last who will be embarrassed by JHF
JHF is a jet
I thought Steele got to plenty of contests and won some fantastic ball for us
Ridiculous and insulting OP

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
Calling Jack Steele pathetic is contemptible....
Steele had quite a good game overall, but I was deeply disappointed in his failure to kick goals with two set shots from straight in front 50 m out that didn't even make the distance. No doubt he is too!

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
Now I know why people like you and others on here are going on about this. You heard a Foxfooty commentator pluck 1 incident in one moment of the game and somehow that defines Jack Steele does it?The_Dud wrote: ↑Mon 01 Jul 2024 10:51amEveryone has 1 or 2 poor efforts?

What happened leading up to that point? How many sprint repeat efforts had Steele made before this incident? How many times did he run someone down or run to provide a marking option?
Horne-Francis might have come fresh off the bench for all we know, where as Jack might have been out there for an extended spell.
JHF played at great game no doubt but he spent 75% time on ground. Steele spent 86% tog.
This was a 2 pt game and you have tools coming on here looking for scapegoats...and starting threads that have no merit

No, I watched the game and came to the conclusion myself through multiple things and instances I saw, the Fox highlight was just a convenient one to reference.Scollop wrote: ↑Mon 01 Jul 2024 3:14pmNow I know why people like you and others on here are going on about this.

Poor efforts, players running passed him, failing to make the distance from 50 twice... not saying he didn't do good things too (as nearly everyone on a footy field will) but those negatives are worrying signs and not something I'd expect from him.

Well said clearly a parrot that thrives on negatives.
The goal JHF kicked in what way is that a result of Steele?

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
You know, fate, if Jack Higgins had not chipped in and steal the pass Butler sent to Jack Steele he would be the hero of a game we won. JS would have kicked the goal. JH missed badly. Fate.

I hope internally the club isn’t as accepting of “1 or 2 poor efforts” as some supporters.Scollop wrote: ↑Mon 01 Jul 2024 6:23pmBulldust.The_Dud wrote: ↑Mon 01 Jul 2024 5:59pmNo, I watched the game and came to the conclusion myself through multiple things and instances I saw, the Fox highlight was just a convenient one to reference.Scollop wrote: ↑Mon 01 Jul 2024 3:14pmNow I know why people like you and others on here are going on about this.

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
100%.
I'd love the club to become ruthless, set high standards, demand success and stop putting up with mediocrity like so many supporters have been conditioned to accept.
I don't want 'cuddly' Ross.
Then maybe we'd win premiership number 2...

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
What does that actually mean?
By ruthless do you want players, coaches, board sacked?
Are you suggesting coaching & training standards are not at acceptable level?
Is it the players?
Is it the administration?
Are you looking for rhetoric?
Do you want the coach to blast the players in the media? Do you want the president to blast the coach and the players in the media?
Do you want this to happen behind closed doors?
What makes you think the club is accepting the current position? Is it because we are not beating our chest in the media.
Yes we are ordinary, we remain mediocre.
Bassatt is a successful businessman, what makes you think he is accepting of our current plight and has no plan in place?

Somehow The Dud believes that by a supporter group backing or defending a player this will have an impact on his performance of accepting poor performances.

Obvious issues not being addressed or improved on and selection integrity are two big ones.
Go back and look at some of the quotes from Ross in 2008 after dropping Milne and Dal Santo, look at the reasons he gave, look at the trajectory of the team that season before and after. Can't say that's the kind of feeling I get from Ross or the club lately.
Personally I would also like to see more 'straight talking' from the club in the media too. They don't have to go as far as "pathetic Pittman", but look how that worked out for Adelaide too...

Re: Jack Steele Pathetic performance
And The_Dud,
Pathetic of you.
It was nothing but rubbish commentary criticising Jack Steele several weeks ago.
You joined the pile on and thought you had some sort of justification.
It was a superficial video grab without ANY context and Gerard Healy came up with a conclusion that was just plain wrong.
"POOR EFFORT" my arse. Is that how you want characterise our captain. As a person who gives poor efforts?
That label doesn't stick. Never will

Did one bad turnover and here we are having a melt down. Settle down mate.
This thread is embarrassing. Close it and delete.
Same idiot thinks Riley Bonner AND Ryan Byrnes are gods. Both are the kings of turnovers. Why aren’t you talking about them?
