Ross had a a usual media manager meeting before the presser

He knew exactly what was going to be asked

He knew exactly the messaging he needed to send

Toed the party line

Tried to appease the supporters (dual narrative)

Defended his coaching- predictable

The only people that think he is the messiah

Hopeful supporters and dumbarse media

I keep telling you

The coach is not the answer!!!! It’s good to have a decent one

But give me good players over a good coach anyday

People just want to believe it is to give them hope when a coach is sacked!

Agreed

Defensive, called Garcia a second or third year player and was basically rambling

I honestly don’t think he GAF

You reckon Howard made Wilkie play well?

Or did he play well because he’s a gun AA defender

How do you explain the selection of Howard?

1/ He was not required
2/ He is not ready
3/ He is fkn hopeless

Ross has just gone under 50% in this stint as coach 15 - 16

I don’t like the way the team plays - they are awful to watch

The selection of Dougal Howard - fkn mind boggling

His selection was absolutely bizarre

Wasn’t needed

And he’s no good

Looked like he was having his first kick of pre season training- slow and rusty

Well they got their maths wrong

Because they said about 120 games - which suggest 1 home team

How’d you work that out?

I’ve got ten years

12 home games - two are vs Crows - so cancel them

That’s 480 / 10

Not hard math

The blonde umpire is a massive cheat

It’s 480 free kicks

Cancel Crows games it 4.8 per game more

That significant

Over such a long period- it should be neutral - level

5 - Sinclair
4 - Wilkie
3 - Wilson
2 - Nas
1 - Windhager

Very disappointed in
Ross, Membrey

Steele was average

And we have a few scrubbers

Hastie is extremely quick

Crowd pleasing umpiring - it’s been going on you decades

WCE differential is embarrassing

Port have had 500 more free kicks at home in the last decade

When averages suggest it should be about even

The youth today

Phillipou 2 kicks
Garcia 7 possessions- as a mid
Caminiti 6 possessions
Sharman 6 possessions

Hastie impacted 8 in a quarter

Phillipou

Why doesn’t he kick?!

2 kicks

It is normally an indication of being slow

Weak as piss Bonner

That’s how he should kick at goal

Regardless of where he is

Why didn’t Howard get subbed out

Just crowd pleasers

Interstate teams get a leg up at home games

Luke Hodge is fkn barracking for Port

Fkn cockhead

The umpires are either incompetent or fkn cheats!!!

Especially that blonde cnt

Runner up B&F in a prelim team at 20yo
Best and Fairest in a prelim team in 05 and AA at 21yo

Never got anywhere near that level again

Possibly about Seb Ross level post 2006 when he was as good as anyone in the AFL at 21

Cooper Sharman’s body language is fkn terrible

Gives up and stops trying

Needs a fkn rocket!!!

Can someone explain the Howard selection?

Cordy - Dixon
Wilkie - Georgiadis
Battle - T.Marshall

Did they think a ruckmans was going to rest forward?!

It was horrendous selection - ridiculous
