Gather round 2024 and review

[Houli_Dooli]

Port are a finals side.

its just whether they are top 4 or a 5-8 side.

@Paul_Peos

I’m not actually that surprised at the result, although the margin is a bit rough.

Copping Port in Gather round at the Adelaide Oval was a tough ask, and as soon as they got on top, those flat track bully Port boys got to work as they usually do.

We’re not that good. Neither are Port, but they are a fair bit better than us.

port also got called soft all week in the media.

@Sir_Joe

Why do we constantly name the oldest, most boring team possible?

To keep the dream of another humiliating elimination final alive.

[LeonBaker4Eva]

Who’s fault is it that when we tackle we don’t pin tb” the hands properly and the balls comes out to the opposition runners???
Who’s fault is it that all other sides have players out the back that receive the ball from stoppages?

as soon as he resigned, chose to take money & stay healthy but be shizen rather than take the money and rehab option

[BomberThurling]

Put $5 on WC beating us when we meet them swear to god

[ivan]

Interesting to compare port’s 2018 trade period to ours. We traded out picks to get shiel. They traded out pittard, polec wingard and picks to get rozee and butters

Does anyone think if the 22 tonight played in our reserves for the rest of the year, that they could win the vfl premiership? i have serious doubts

[simmo41]

perplexed by that ad for hotel portofino. can’t imagine a large crossover between fox footy post game viewers and people interested in that show

[Strewth]

You’d want to hope Tassie ■■■■ up and hire Jackets as their recruiting manager.

[jack_mack50]

I can thank Essington for hitting my first 180 in darts tonight during the second half.

[Saucy]

We aren’t a developing side. We have too many experienced players now. We just aren’t very good.

[Finding_Nino]

Guys like Davey who are soft as butter

Caddy seems the only one who shows any kind of aggression and is hungry for the contest

[Winderland]

@Bomb_Doe

I enjoy the wins, but the losses, whilst obviously disappointing and frustrating, I’m not that emotional about them

Interestingly, thats how our players think as well.

[millagurnzie1]

Mate…we ain’t got anyone else. This is our best team bar 1-2 players

[Deadly]

its tough for those who haven’t yet realised we’re legit a full rebuild away

[BomberThurling]

“Be patient bomber fans”

[Paul_Peos]

Yep.

It was unlikely we’d win, but we certainly didn’t need to lose by that much.

maybe sneak into the wildcard round

[Houli_Dooley]

Yeah fair enough. It certainly sucks and we’ve all been through the ringer for a while now. You’d love to get a sense of confidence as a supporter that we are ready, at some point, to take that leap from middle tier limbo to something actually significant. Can’t see it yet.
