Why don't they ever give a mic to the journalists? Can't hear shit

[@stuartstibbs2069]

Yep.

[@randomuser4310]

been fkn years

[@td928]

I think it's because they don't want you to hear what they ask properly so they can spin a story from the question they asked and the answer that was given by the coach in the paper.

[@scottbennier1335]

I must admit that I had seen videos but , I hadn’t seen Logan Evans play a game until last Saturday afternoon but on seeing the West Adelaide game ,I was impressed with his maturity and skills.

[@mysticmike9125]

I haven't seen him so if you can please let me know what sort of player should we expect to see? Is he a running defender or more of an intercepter ?

[@Oracle550]

bit of a worry a guy that got drafted 2 weeks ago is getting a game,probably reflects on the quality and depth of our list

[@scottbennier1335]

@@mysticmike9125 , think Miles Bergman , similar height obviously not filled out yet - appears to have good sense with the ball - good speed and seems to read the play well. He’s got a good frame and IMO could be a very good player particularly when he fills out after one or two off seasons (he’s only 18).

[@user-le4nm7ux6w]

It's all talk no action 11 years with a good list of players no premiership to show for it and. Constantly out coached

[@jamiewallis8509]

Another record set for Ken this week. Highest score kicked against us in 12 years. Absolute top tier coaching

[@jakotae]

Been in support of you Kenny since the start. But it's time to step down.

[@hugh2277]

This bloke never actually answers the questions

[@edmonguy]

Pity that I had no idea what he was responding to.

[@stuartstibbs2069]

Marshall hasnt been good, neither has Dixon , Lord, or Finlayson, Georgiades has been good, the smalls arent doing much, need Rioli, and miss Sam PP big time. Forward lines a mess... midfield struggling...lots of players out of form... no more excuses, just bury brizzy...😂

[@joelcollins5665]

If we play well the crowd will get loud with us. Only problem there is were not playing well and the arrogance at the end to say we are going to continue to play our game style. It doesn't stack up against the best teams and hasn't for 12 years😡

One of the best breakers of the Tag that I have seen is Dusty Martin. I don't know how the hell he did it but he always managed to break the tagger with his "don't argue" when he looked like he was going to be nailed for holding the ball. The thing Zak has going for him is his low down strength and speed on the burst. His ability to get the ball in a scrimmage and burst out of the pack is one of best in the league. Horne Francis also has it. Their speed in the first 15 to 20 meters is an absolute weapon. Power supporters need to realize that taking the game on through the corridor is a high risk/high reward style of footy. When it works it produces an attractive high flow style of Football but you can get spanked on the turn overs. I like that Ken has the midfield taking the corridor whenever possible. Power Fans need to ask themselves if they want a negative/shut the game down style of play or if they'd rather the edge of the seat high risk/ High reward style of Footy. Personally I'd rather go down swinging then watching a slow grind. With Players like Zak, Ollie, Rozee, Horn Francis and Houston running around in the middle taking the game on through the corridor seems like best strategy but the fans need to see the bigger picture and not lose their marbles when there is the occasional turnover. That's the price you pay for taking the game on.

[@jennawiththepink]

an “occasional” turnover would be fine..

[@AlecBurman]

@@jennawiththepink Agreed. Fortunately my comment was pre match not after it. I live in Victoria and didn't see the game as it wasn't live but I hear it was pretty dismal. I still believe in the attacking game plan. I don't think the plan is necessarily bad but it appears as though something has dented the player's confidence. The season started with high hopes with good recruits coming in but somehow with all that talent running around the midfield Port just hasn't clicked. There is still time to halt the rot but the season is on a knife's edge now. If we don't get the headspace right asap it could soon be season over.

[@philc5334]

In regards to Marshall, we need forwards who are willing to do the hard work defensively, and he is not doing that. Kenny needs to say that, and get him into that mindset.

[@stuartstibbs2069]

Needs to do the hard work in attack. Mark the ball, kick goals...not hard. Forward lines been shit since Schulz retired...pathetic.

[@arnolddavies6734]

I hate to say this but I don’t watch Port’s games. I just don’t trust them enough to give me any confidence that they will win. I knew Brisbane would beat us easily. The slide down the ladder didn’t begin from this game. It started before the bye after the Carlton game.
