As Malthouse used to say in every post-loss press conference "we played a very very good side".
Port are an impressive team and club that will push for the flag this year. Having said that they had some key outs and were battered and bruised after their tough game last week. We had an opportunity to push them hard tonight and failed miserably. The stats sheet and scoreboard were kind to us but we were bad. Really bad.
If I can bring myself to watch the game again I'll comment on individual players but, as a team, our skill level, intensity and composure let us down again. Not sure where we're headed at the moment.
More scoring shots, 10 more forward 50 entries, lost by 28 points.
If only they wanted it badly enough. That's the most frustrating.
Completely agree. Where's the intensity, aggression, leadership?
Never thought we'd win tonight but it was a real opportunity to stand up and show where the club is headed. Instead we sat back, fumbled and bumbled and showed where the club is headed.
