Well that sucked. Add it to the list of scars of being a Port fan I suppose. They're starting to add up!
Facts are we had a soft draw and were probably the poorest team in the 8. But still, Jared Polec, you would have to be the stupidest footballer on the planet. I simply cannot fathom giving away a high free in that situation. Blows my mind! The Power have major mental strength issues stemming from a repeated history of failing to execute under expectation. As soon as there is no expectation, our players perform much better. Not sure what it is but its systemic and cultural now.
I think we need a change in senior coach, I really do. Something like 34 inside 50s to 16 in the second half and we outscored the opposition by 1 goal. This has been the pattern for a long time now and other than a belated last minute attempt at playing two key forwards nothing has been done and nor has it been improved. Cut a deal with Hinkley and Gold Coast. New ideas and new methods please before this group is completely wrung out.
But all in all I'll take it - would still prefer to be a fan of one of the oldest and most successful clubs in Australia over any other.
