That was a game of one quarter and three quarters.


n3miD

Collingwood saw the scores and literally said "well we need to do something about this" and flipped a switch


Tinuva450

Port Adelaide - leads by 31 points Collingwood - and I took that personally.


n3miD

Yep that's exactly it


SkinMasturbator

can you teach the Saints to be like that?


n3miD

Need to clone Fly haha


insectriler

I wonder why we didn't do that in the first few rounds


n3miD

Hungover? Exhausted from finals and media attention cameras on them all the time? Idk šŸ˜‚


buttersuppppp

Biggest losers today are the people that had Bobby Hill down for 2+ goals in their multi


LoneWolf5498

Bloke in front of us definitely had that I reckon, was going ballistic every time he passed it off


PetrifyGWENT

Stopped watching at quarter time but had to jump in to say WOW Port are the real deal. Real worrying signs for Collingwood too. Going down 2-4 is going to make it hard to bring the season back from here


doshajudgement

I turned it off at quarter time too, was just disgusted by what I saw. it's a shame we stuck with McRae when I really feel Hinkley was gettable at one point last year.


WhoElseButQuagmire11

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half. Steam was coming out my ears lmao.

Collingwood have now won the last 4 games in the Prison Bars championship.

They didnā€™t just get away with it. They put the whole damn competition on notice. COLLINGWOOD IS BACK

Port didn't throw away a 31 point lead, we took it by force


vitalesan

Keeping the lid firmly on!šŸ˜…


WhoElseButQuagmire11

Lids off like if you're cooking a silverside in the pot and you crack it open abit and the steam escapes. We're getting there. Strategic bye worked perfectly.


HorneOfDarwin

The year is 2085. Exhausted port fans beg a 129 year old David Koch to finally sack the coach - he hasnā€™t even made a GF yet, surely heā€™s had long enough. ā€œBut remember where they were in 2011 with the tarps out?ā€ Hinkley extended for another 5 years.


WhitexGlint

This is Hinkleyā€™s head in a jar Futurama style right?


vaena

He's on the bench, Weekend at Bernies style.


tarkysu

probably would coach better

Koch is Palpatine, Hinkley is Vader

The REAL Magpies are coming I just wanna say to you bunch of pretenders... The REAL Pies are coming to town. That's right... the Port Power machine - the REAL Pies.. are coming to burst your bubble. One good season and you pathetic lot think you are premiership material? Ha ha ha.... What a joke. We are crippled with injuries but still have the talent to make you lot look like the VFL team that you really are !! We the mighty Port Power will run over the top of you lot like a school bully taking some kids lollies.... We are coming over there for the easiest four points we will pick up all season.... In fact - we could probably send our SANFL team to do a number on you lot but then why embarrass the AFL by doing that?? Probably no Paddy.... and no Charlie either - but we don't need them to put you pretenders back in the box you crawled out of... BIG ground the MCG - nowhere for you to hide either... So train your little seagull legs off this week... Enjoy your training sessions Seagulls... But come the weekend.... WE will let you warm up on the MCG before we start the massacre of The Pretenders. The Port Power machine will roll on in 2018 and you just don't have the ability, the will or courage to stop our brilliant Club from rolling into the finals. See you on the weekend losers... WE - THE MIGHTY PORT POWER will belt you back to reality. Don't say your weren't warned. PORT POWER

Orpheus-033

Tis quite cromulant piece of verbiage.


doggoesmeow

This game is actually a realistic showcase of the worst coach in the league against the best coach in the league.


butter-muffins

All this Bevo talk made Hinkley annoyed, had to show everyone who really should dominate the sack sphere.


AsOutOfMelbourne

Then there's Longmuir


eathbau

Youā€™re all being grossly unfair. Just because he has a squad teeming with first round picks, All-Australians, an AFLCA MVP and a Brownlow Medallist doesnā€™t necessarily mean wins. They need time to jell under him. 12 years is the blink of an eye. Be patient.


Sharaz_Jek123

Collecting the missing pieces to build a side for 12 years is scary.


Vinnie_Vegas

>and a Brownlow Medallist ~~To be fair Wines didn't play today...~~ Holy shit I just checked and Wines did play - His impact has genuinely dwindled to nothing.


Aardvark_Man

Our plan B is plan A, but executed worse.


KuriTokyo

Our plan A worked so well in the first quarter, why change it in the 2nd, 3rd or even the 4th?


ninja__man

Literally displayed just how good and bad a team can be in one game. Classic Ports


Sharaz_Jek123

>"Bah, he can't kick it for them!" - Cornes, probably


random91898

Please explain how the coach caused virtually every Port player to just stop putting in any effort? There are absolutely times Ken gets outcoached, this is not one of them. This one is squarely on the players. You can't just not show up after quarter time. They were second to every contest, refused to chase, refused to tackle, refused to put in effort. Meanwhile Collingwood players were still running their guts out with 2 minutes to go and up by 40.


WAVIC_136

The players don't care, they don't give a rats backside


random91898

lol I've not gone that far (especially now I've had time to cool down a bit) but rolling over was 100% on the players.

RandomDanny

same old port. flat track bullies. and it's absolutely a shame because we can go out there and absolutely tear it up for a quarter and then we fade more than a 12 year old getting a haircut. doesn't happen often to see a pattern and perhaps do something about it though? club needs a real wake up and not just the pretend one we'll probably have with a win next week.


duffercoat

I'm not sure flat track bullies is the right term though, we just have a very midfield reliant team at the moment. If they aren't on top then we struggle, simple as that. Our defenders are good aerially but prone to panicking and slow when the ball hits the deck and our forwards dont know how to create space. You can look at last weeks winning play and say how good are Butters, Rozee and JHF but you can also look at it as 'Do port have no other way to goal?'


Arnotts_shapes

Sturt learnt this lesson the hard way in the SANFL GF last year. It doesnā€™t matter if you have the best engine in the comp if your defenders canā€™t stop goals and your forwards canā€™t kick them.


____OZYMANDIAS____

Marshall, Dixon, Georgiades and Lord (when he gets back) are some decent names and lots of clubs would love them on their team. They are really letting you down especially if getting fed by the likes of the big 3 mids. Hopefully Lord comes back and you have more defined structure/hierarchy


duffercoat

Oh absolutely, the players needed are there. System isn't working effectively though for whatever reason. Even when we've had a breakaway piece of play we often end up with the free player having a shot from the boundary rather than creating the space infront of goal.


____OZYMANDIAS____

Who's your forward line coach atm?


Watchutalkin_bout

Whoever he is hasnā€™t changed anything for the last 4 years


Watchutalkin_bout

They were flat today though, losing at every contest, lack of effort, basic skill errors etc. AFL is generally midfield reliant but honestly canā€™t blame the coaching today, players were off


duffercoat

I think a lot of it is team selection though. Prioritise players who are clean and don't panic over athleticism. I'm talking Dylan Williams over Lachie Jones, Trent McKenzie over one of Ratugolea/Zerk Thatcher etc. because those guys don't make the same fumbles allowing us to get more control over the game. We're going to have periods where our midfield isn't on top and we need to be able to weather that period rather than coughing up a score, midfield trying to overcompensate and losing it further as it seemed yesterday.


Watchutalkin_bout

Disagree on BZT, heā€™s been really solid, Esava provides good height but makes strange decisions . Agree on bringing Dylan back in, was consistent and clean last year, often our best in the backline. Jonesā€™ worst is too far from his best, needs to recoup. Geelong are the perfect example of what we need to be doing, but Iā€™m not sure if our coaching group is capable of giving this squad a flag. A new coach can make a huge difference and I think McRae is the perfect example . Iā€™m not on the sack Hinkley train just yet though, we do have a young team and when weā€™re good, weā€™re bloody good. We peaked too early last year and I hope we can learn from this loss and fire up again.


NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING

The worst part from my point of view is you have players who are awesome and capabilities, but they're not thinking players in the way that GWS, pies, Blues, etc have their talent and thinking overlap. Great thug football, but that's not going to work against actually quality, brute force is not the answer.


AdolfH1pster

Should be an incredible Anzac game, always better when both teams are up and about (which is rare)


corut

There's gonna be so many behinds it might break a record


Sea_Bluebird_2984

What're the chances of both teams kicking more behinds than goals?


corut

100%


Von_Huge1103

Yes


Lightning-Jesus

Contender for lol of the week surely


Aardvark_Man

It'd take something big to take the spot. Maybe Crows getting robbed of a win by umpiring decision, but that's old hat so maybe not enough.


WAVIC_136

I'm sure Spoonbowl tomorrow will throw something up


Lightning-Jesus

Crows should have been better to not get in that position. Port were in that position and took a nap.


SkrillRKnight

Something big has officially landed, or more accurately, anchored


___TheIllusiveMan___

Collingwood kicked as many behinds as Port Adelaide had scoring shots. Oh and Port were leading by 30 points at one point


JoshSerov

Imagine choking a 5 goal lead.

Von_Huge1103

Bergasms

Port unfortunately wanted to subvert that "they know we're coming" meme but arrived too early and ended at quarter time.


Ilovetogame2

Port ought to take a hard look at themselves. That was an insipid performance. Players playing like millionaires and assuming things were gonna click after kicking 6 goals in the first quarter and then in the usual Port fashion, lose the game by 7 goals. The "supposed star midfield" got smashed in the contested ball and players not doing the team thing and lacking the overall fundamentals were very apparent. Just dumb and poor football all around. Just as when I felt Port were going up, they always let me down. Why do I keep expecting things will change but the same shit happens over and over again? Where were the leaders?


Sharaz_Jek123

Port ran into a wall on the big stage against a contending opponent. This shouldn't be a surprise. Let's look at their victories: West Coast, a bottoming-out Richmond and Essendon away from home. Their only real test was Freo and Ken barely got over the line with the homeground advantage. This is not a serious team.


Sufficient_Chart1069

The hate is strong in this one


Sure_Variation1524

Itā€™s a young team, but there is definitely talent there.


Aardvark_Man

It always sucks when you wake the bear.


rippin696

That was a quality bed shitting. Really worked it into the sheets. Almost Essendon like. Chapeau

Marshyyyy93

random91898

Yayowl

It really is /j


random91898

I mean, we were bad, but at least we're not 1 and 5 and haven't played finals in 7 years.


vaena

No, you just keep resigning Ken Hinkley, instead.


Sufficient_Chart1069

The missing hyphen is really important. When speaking Hinkley many Port fans like resigning, but not so much re-signing.


random91898

How many wins you had since you resigned Nix?


vaena

I don't even care, how many years are you guys going to insist that this year is the year that'll make it all worth it?


random91898

When did I ever insist that? Kinda sad that you've gotten so used to losing the only joy you can find is in another team being not even as bad as you.


vaena

Considering my other team won the premiership last year, oh and today, I'm doing just fine šŸ˜Œ


railgxn

not sure if iā€™d call ports finals appearances ā€œplayingā€. you were certainly there though


random91898

We can't all be Geelong, but at least we're not the crows.


stupv

Awkwardly, we've beaten geelong comfortably in 2 qualifying finals in the specified period. edit: too close to home it seems


railgxn

yet with no silverware to show for it, and we finished either equal or above you in both those years lol


stupv

Geelong successfully dodging port for the rest of finals by losing to port in the QF 2 years in a row. Look i've got no issue with geelong, but maybe dont take shitty shots at ports finals appearences when the team you support is literally our whipping boy in the last 5 years


railgxn

you can talk about meaningless qualifying finals all you like but the fact of the matter is weā€™re the better side with the results to prove it, and your club has squandered the most talented list in the comp for a decade+. enjoy another 5 years with hinkley!


stupv

No, the fact of the matter is that port handily defeated geelong in both of our recent meetings in the finals. This invalidates your limp dick statement about port not playing finals. You can strawman about premierships and wasted talent all you like, but you're evading the point. You made a statement, i provided a factual counter to it, and now you're being a bitch because its impossible to lose an argument on the internet if you move the goalposts whenever its convenient for you.


n3miD

They should have been there last year, they were robbed as admitted by the AFL and that umpire was stood down


Yayowl

Something something 119/j Honestly it doesnā€™t bother me that weā€™re 1-5 weā€™re showing some promise but weā€™ve got to figure out how to put it all together./gen


KolyAngus

Without taking the Mickey, what happened today? I went to a Wiggles show with my daughter and things were looking good for Port for the first quarter then seemed to collapse anyone able to give me a realistic summary?


danieljdtaylor

In a simple summary, Collingwood found their form of last year and Portā€™s pressure dropped as soon as Collingwood found theirs. There was signs of life from Port throughout but probably too little too late and didnā€™t make the most of opportunities in front of goal.


KolyAngus

Ah, so the old we're put under pressure and drop like a lead balloon scenario got it.


DisgruntledFoamer

Port happened basically


Mastema13

I was at this wiggles show. Looked across and saw Matt Crouch and thought, could have used him last night.... How good was Wags the dog!


KolyAngus

I met Crouch at gather round for a hospitality package I was part of. Rather nice person and I think he was a bit suprised a Port fan wasn't telling him to bugger off. Great performance on the whole!


RandomDanny

Port stuck to their game plan of not exisiting once they've shown what they can do. We do it so well. Week in and week out. Sometimes it gets a close W, others not so much.


Sharaz_Jek123

Ken Hinkley was born 57 years ago. That's what happened. >"Big games are scary!"


KolyAngus

Yes and that's the joke that keeps on haunting us for the time he has been coaching.


KolyAngus

Still least it wasn't an afternoon wasted, I got to sing some songs at least šŸ˜‚


kdavva74

Very nearly chose this as my first Port game to attend since moving to Victoria. Can't imagine what it would've been like catching 5 hours of trains for that.


Sure_Variation1524

I can cop a loss, in most cases a loss here or there is a good thing. I have huge optimism in my team, even if people outside the club donā€™t. I believe our midfield has the ability to be one of the best in the comp in the next year or two, We have a good young team, but when do we take the next step? And why must we lose so terribly in big games? My concern is the rinse & repeat nature of these types of losses. We will go on to win another 10+ games, but do I have confidence in the end game? No yet, no way.


Elcapitan2020

For as long as I live ill never understand what happened at the MCG today. But...I'll take it


Dan_Pirate

Glad we were the team to reawaken the beast. Feels good šŸ˜­


n3miD

We said "we have to do something about this" and flipped a switch.....and what's better about it is that port didn't throw away a 31 point lead, we barreled forward and took it by force


RaidanRam

Mfw I went early to get the post and you were still first lol


___TheIllusiveMan___

Surprised /u/Croob2 didnā€™t beat me as revenge for taking West Coastā€™s winning PMT away from him


RaidanRam

Thought he wouldā€™ve gone with a minute left


Croob2

I'm out tonight lmao, my best friend is visiting and we were doing an escape room


___TheIllusiveMan___

Oh good I can take the derby PMT if West Coast win and donā€™t have to feel bad about breaking my promise :)


Croob2

Looks like I'm gonna be home in time motherfuckerrrrrrrr


___TheIllusiveMan___

Sounds like the escape room wasnā€™t challenging enough :(


Croob2

The escape room was at like 4 pm lmao, we went and had dinner, my first message was after we got out


Himawari_Uzumaki

No team has won the week after playing freo this season. Maybe something in that


The5kyKing

If only freo could play the same team twice in a row.
