Blame the crows, no not today thanks.
I want to save that one so I can blame them for the issues in the middle east.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

The mental health of both Sam and the young lady need to be taken into consideration.

Until all findings are compiled and verdict reached, the party at fault here is Channel 7 and their pathetic efforts at grabbing a headline.


Nothing new for that Channel and their continued gutter journalism :roll: :roll: :oops:

I swear to god I'm in a timewarp.

Port start the year great. Cop an injury. Ken throws structure and common sense out the door. We struggle and scrag and lose to the better teams.

Pretty sure that's been 2015, 2016, 2017 and now... 2018.

Big time.

Would've played Westhoff in his role and Pittard down back for Hartlett or Houston to go on the wing

+ Frampton

It will be interesting to see how Ken reacts in coming weeks. If Port slide he deserves an almighty boot up the arse. Still don’t understand why Port signed him up LY. Jesus did he cop a baking last night on social media.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Yep. Fans have just about had enough. I think the safooty Port Adelaide 2018 thread is the last place where he actually gets support.

There is no way on God's Green Earth that Geelong had more talent than Port. They didn't go harder than us. They didn't put in more effort really.

We were beaten by a better methodology installed by a better coaching group. Again.

Stolen from TeeKray in Bigfooty

I just can't get over the evolution of our playing style since Ken came on board. In 2013-2014 it was all about 'brave' football, taking on the game, taking risks, burning through the corridor. We jumped from 8 wins in 2 years to playing finals and winning a final in less than 12 months. We then took it even further the next year and came within a bees dick of a GF appearance.

We were the talk of the football world, everyone's second favourite team, the young hot shots that looked destined to take over from Hawthorn as the league's preeminent team. We start 2015 virtually premiership favourites. And then, literally in round 1, everything changes. We come out against Freo, a team that we had exposed for all of their deficiencies with a scintillating second half in the 2014 semi final, and play the most dreary, boring, chip chip game style ever, losing by a single figure margin. Ever since then, we've had to put up with this slow, crappy, defensive football complete with its myriad of 'we kind of got close but never really looked like winning because we just couldn't kick a score' type performances anytime an even moderately capable opposition is put in front of us.

It's crazy how defensive our game style is. Just painfully slow, grinding football where the goal is to slowly work the ball up the ground and lock it forward with stoppage after stoppage until somehow someone manages to snag a goal. What's even more crazy is that we persist with this structure even when we don't have our one and only specialist ruckman who is so vital to the structure that it might as well get chucked in the bin the moment he isn't out there (it's no coincidence that he won our B&F last year).

I think Ken can be a good coach but I feel like he's gone way too far from what is his actual coaching DNA and has basically become what Choco was - a negative, insecure coach who plays not to lose rather than to win. He needs to sort it the hell out before he destroys this playing group.

I love Bass but can’t believe he is not copping more heat, this style has his fingerprints all over it. The assistants have to share a fair bit of the blame IMO

Geelongs plan worked a treat, same as Essendon the week before. Deny us the corridor and you expose our poor foot skills.
