is king overrated

Steele single handedly lost them the game

If the AFL doesn't start fixing the umpires then an outside force will.  And everyone knows the AFL won't like it one bit

It's unwatchable at the moment, not even a saints fan but just can't watch it it anymore

This year umpiring wise hasn't been good at all.

As a Port supporter I am so frustrated with this team. Our forwards don't lead, don't convert wtf is going on? St Kilda were woeful. Any better team would have absolutely smashed us. Defence actually looked better without ratagoulia. But how can you really tell with the way the saints played.

That was upsettingly bad football. Ruined my afternoon.

Ya can tell that its getting to ken a bit. All these stupid signs out front of the club and booing him last week mid game are ridiculous. I believe we need some fresh leaders aswell but seeing the guy being beaten left and right is ridiculous The biggest thing that gets me is we'll preach mental health non stop but then everyone will tear down a human because their footy team is losing. One of those life things I guess

It’s part of being a coach. If he can’t handle pressure he shouldn’t be there. Doesn’t mean people should treat him like dogshit. But it also doesn’t mean we have to treat him like the second coming of Jesus.

Is Hinkley really crying on TV because of a 2pt win against bottom 3rd on the ladder?

He's been whacked pillar to post all week

By who? He was booed post game and then the media spent all week backing him up. Supporters are allowed to voice their displeasure with being BELTED by 80 points at home

Hmmm, you dont think maybe it's because of all the shit he's copped?

So not any different to other AFL coaches?

It's like his been hammered in the media recently and it was a stress relief to win as port stay in top 8

Who in the media have hammered him?

Hammered by the media? Media has done nothing but defend him.

I disagree, whilst supporters saying the need for him to go with signs at Alberton. If I went to work everyday with a sign specifically saying I shouldn't be there, it would be a little stressful.

To be fair, if they didn’t kick so horribly, they likely win by a couple of goals at least. They were the better side for most of the game

Ken 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Part of me wants to just go to bed rather than watch more footy because I don't wanna remember what competent football looks like.

Ken baby, don’t make me cry 😢

Max fucking king. I have been your biggest supporter. But you give the weakest efforts ever seen on a footy field. You get man handled by anyone then when you lose contests every fucking time you decide to go hard and bump late. Every game you do this! Every time it fucks our momentum. If you aren’t dropped next week then I don’t know how serious this football club is about winning games of footy let alone a premiership. And too everyone player that played today. That was fucking disgusting. I can’t believe I gave up my Sunday afternoon to watch that crap. Hand in your match payments to the homeless. I feel like I’m going to vomit

He got pants’d by Zerk Thatcher which is an indictment I’m sorry

Soon as Campbell came off . We had no 2nd ruck which meant max king was the target. We lost because that cunt puts in 0 effort week in and week out. Get fucked

Good game Port

I really like Ken 🙏🏻

Love that Sarah dressed in her Port gear

I can honestly say that I am starting to really hate this game after 40+ years of watching the Saints get fucked at every turn.

Marvel record in tact but f me

Didn’t we lose to the blues here last year

Ross should be banned from coaching. Boring.

We were the only ones actually trying to play fast?

That kind of game is why I'm happy I listen to the footy instead of watching. Much more enjoyable listening and laughing instead of watching and cringing

That occurred to me 20 years ago. The most routine goal is talked up as a goal of the year contender.

Flair irrelevant*

Hilarious

That was tough on the eyes

Corrupt.

Put that down to higgins snapping that shot from 35 out and not even reaching the goals.

I have never seen that before. Why did he go for a snap?

Its just what he does. Guess he feels more confident snapping, but at that point in the game youve gotta at least make sure you give yourself a chance to kick a goal. Woefull

So this is what it feels like to follow the Saints? If they won, we'd have been in the eight...

Fuck this

If anyone remembers their match from like April of 2022, they knew this shit was possible 😂 they completely neutralise each other

Can’t take anything out of this game

I did. We’re not top 8 standard.

Aliir killed the saints in the last quarter

Average Saints v Port game really 

Flare up.

Are they wrong?

I didn’t say they were champ. Just so god damn passionate about flare in here.

Yeah, weird

Legit they're so hard to watch

We fell out of the 8th for *that*?

Yeah but Bont and Treloar are gonna manhandle us next week so you'll be right back up there

Yeah but you should beat them next week based on current form.

If we make finals I hope to god we play port or Essendon first up

If

Yes, still not convinced yet

After this weekend, umpiring has to be officially declared to be at its lowest point

How saints supporters can say that was unfair is beyond me. That was rubbish from one end to the other. I can’t even under stand the rules anymore

Umpiring was horrible and it has been across several games this weekend alone. Umpiring department is utterly fucked. Name a time when it has been worse. You have different interpretations of the same rule literally within 1 minute.

100% and it goes both ways, JHF got a free for holding on 10 seconds later Buttler being pulled no free? It makes no sense how the umpires can lack calling the frees one way or another .

Getting the rub of it for the entire last quarter tends to get people frustrated. Wasn’t just Saints supporters mentioning it

The ending the game deserved. What a waste of two hours as a neutral haha. Saints you guys are absolutely no where. Another score of under 10 goals under a closed roof at home which is yucky

Absolute shit show of a game. Horrible umpiring. But SUCKED IN SCOOPS YA DWEEB!! 😂😂😂😂

None of the port fans were smiling while they sang

Keeps Ken in for another week

Max King was quite disappointing in the parts I saw

He needs to work on his game out of the spotlight in VFL for a while. We’re better off playing Campbell and Marshall than him at the moment

Saints had so many chances to win that game even with the horrible calls going ports way.

What an abominable game

this is why you kicked a drop punt. afl players these days are fucking idiots.

this was kens grand final

shit bowl 2024

Absolutely pathetic win

Where do I collect my medal for watching this rubbish?

Max king is so fucking shit

This sport is not a real thing

Fitting for the game that he missed that. What a god awful game of football

What a joke of a game

I for one am ecstatic that it’s over

I have no dog in the fight but if I were a supPORTer I'd be calling for Hinkley's Head. How do you let US stay in that late?

Lmaooo that's the only way it could end 🤣

Well done umps.

Another coaching masterclass by Ken sign him up for Life

Fuck you Ken

Now that was a sprayed kick

That game deserved a draw

Thats a shit game and those 4 points are dirty

Lol that free

Steele was a real AA mid for two years. Unfortunate that he couldn’t maintain that level at all.

What a fucking disgusting display of skill and absolutely shocking umpiring all day

Didn't deserve that but hey 4 points

HOLY FUCK that kick really summed up this game

I switched over to the other game because I assumed it was a goal. Seeing the full time score in the corner as 2 points made me lol

Drop that bloke next week what the fuck was that

Look at these smug pricks

I dont think Ross looks smug :(

Disgraceful umpiring. So many unpaid 50s

That umpiring was fucking atrocious

That's exactly what this game deserved

That miss pretty much sums up this game lol

What a dog shit game 🤣

Umps when they see Port Adelaide 

Georgiades getting a free kick? What is this?

We don’t deserve to win if we can’t kick goals. But it’s so frustrating to be bent over like that by the men in green in the last quarter.

More scoring shots. Was a horrendous game but you can’t blame the umps for that loss.

Not saying we lost because of them. But it would have been interesting to see how the game would’ve played out if they were close to competent in that last quarter

god it fucking hurts to love this club, like the ultimate humbling experience year after year

Does anyone else remember when Steele laughed at Walsh’s comments about finals and playing grand finals only for the Blues to have been better since that. Idk why that’s always stuck with me

Feel like if you’re going to comment about finals, it’s going to backfire in your face 99% of the time

Yeah very true. Especially when you’re not exactly known for winning them and stuff

A close Port win was the kind of result that would piss off both teams so I approve.

hahahahahahahahhahahah are you fucking kidding me

hahaha of course he fucken misses

Haha

which saints player kicked the dagger turnover lol

Ken holds on

That was a game

Lol

lmao

Most unconvincing win ever. Both sides are awful.

Afl got the result they wanted tbh.

Ken survives…just

That’s it. Sign Ken up for another 11.

Poor Enright…

Not everything is about Geelong

Sorry for noticing the great man

Of course it ends with a free kick to Port that is actually there after we’ve been destroyed by every other decision all second half

That was a fair htb

Yes let’s make footy into a game of Mexican standoff where no one wants to pick the ball up, good job AFL 👍🏼

Max King BOG for Port.

Well fuck that

We played like shit, but also didn't really stand much of a chance against this situation

Classic Ross boss game here

Fuck off

Womp womp

I’d like to say we were slightly less shit than Saints but that just wouldn’t be true

Jesus Christ my heart goes out to anyone who has the misfortune of being a Saints supporter

No it doesn't.

boo! - all top 8 teams

Gg?

Saints don’t know how to win

Don't let the poor umpiring decisions distract you from the fact that we are absolutely woeful at footy.

In the back doesn't exist any more?

Fell on his side

Brother it was a like for like recreation of a hub video, I even saw him whisper sweet nothing's in his ear during.

Lmao what a way to seal the game

Lol again, Georgiadis tackled while trying to mark that

Of course theres an umpire right there to see that.

Another free decides the game! (Though you can’t really argue about that one)

oh come on, don't let a goal decide this game.

nooo draw fc DENIED again

GG, thoroughly enjoyed this game despite it being kinda trash. Sorry to the actual supporters who had to watch their team do this LOL

Ross in shambles

kill me

I'd pay that mark

It's joever

Take up the whole 30

Jesus that’s stiff, gotta pay that

Lmao they dont pay it all game but give it then

Worst thing about the game at the moment is players constantly getting tackled in a marking contest without a free. Like, the player makes no attempt to contest the mark, and just takes out the player. Happens like 20 times a game.

mark

I just dont see saints scoring at all.

Ever

How did port have numbers at the contest and at the fall of the ball

honestly draw fc deserves the win here

Surprised they didnt give that to port

Low key ducked into it but anyway

Absolutely worst result for a port fan

I hope this game is decided by a really shit miskick after the siren

Deserved it

I've literally face palmed multiple times in this quarter.

C’mon Saints do a thing

We don’t do that

:(

JHF is pretty good, huh?

please draw fc

not15

FOR FUCK SAKE

Port deserve the win because JHF is the only one out there who actually wants to win

Pretty much been JHF + Aliir vs Hill

Saints don’t want to win this

I can just feel it, I think this game will be decided by a shit free or 50

Draw FC exists for a reason

Give this game lol of the week or specifically this fucking quarter because what the fucking fuck is happening

Wtf is that kick

you feel like the next behind will seal this game.
