Speaker 1: This is five double a football. Let's go to the room.
Speaker 1: Sam Dada is in the Portadelaide rooms.
Speaker 2: Thanks Timmy, joined by Miles Bergman down here in the
Speaker 2: port rooms.
Speaker 1: Port only.
Speaker 2: We're coming really hard out of the halftime into the
Speaker 2: third quarter.
Speaker 3: Weren't able to capitalize.
Speaker 1: Where did it all go wrong?
Speaker 2: I think Adelaide were just better on the day. They
Speaker 2: obviously killed us on turnover, but I thought we brought
Speaker 2: some good pressure, a lot better than we have been
Speaker 2: in the past, so that's been a positive. Just couldn't
Speaker 2: capitalize on moments. I'm going inside fifty especially and.
Speaker 1: Miles tim Giniver here. Firstly, did you enjoy your time
Speaker 1: in the middle and I loved the job that you
Speaker 1: did on their skipper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good fun. It's a good change first time,
Speaker 2: so yeah, I had a bit of fun and tried
Speaker 2: to do my role as best they could, which I
Speaker 2: thought I did okay, but obviously not the result we
Speaker 2: were looking for as a team.
Speaker 1: Well, you're fast forward a week and your take on Geelong.
Speaker 1: Could we think ahead and think that maybe a pee
Speaker 1: dangerfield might be one of those people you play on
Speaker 1: if he goes into the midfield.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, it was a little experiment this week,
Speaker 2: but we'll have to wait and see what any things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was a fair experiment. It worked really
Speaker 1: well well. The midfield was absolutely dominant. We talk about
Speaker 1: clearances and absolute smacking. So what was Ken's message straight
Speaker 1: after the game, because you did a.
Speaker 2: Lot right, Yeah, exactly like you said. I think it's
Speaker 2: a good improvement on how we've been going and positive signs,
Speaker 2: but obviously still a lot of things to work on
Speaker 2: efficiency going forward and making sure our defense is on
Speaker 2: with anticipation on their turnover. But some good signs going
Speaker 2: forward and hopefully we can get a win next week.
Speaker 1: And obviously the focus goes to the next match. But
Speaker 1: you talk about bottling the preparation that worked really well
Speaker 1: this week without getting the ultimate result. You go back
Speaker 1: a week and had a really poor performance. How do
Speaker 1: you ensure that you see what you see this week
Speaker 1: as opposed to next week. Does that get discussed as a.
Speaker 2: Group, Yeah, for sure. I think, like you said, just
Speaker 2: following each week by week and acknowledging what you did
Speaker 2: well and what you need to work on, and I
Speaker 2: think come back down to pressure and contest, which we
Speaker 2: did really well tonight.
Speaker 1: But we just couldn't get all the way.
Speaker 4: Myles, great game. I thought you were sensational through the
Speaker 4: Jordan Dawson's arguably in the best half a dozen in
Speaker 4: the competition, and you really negated him along with Drew
Speaker 4: as well through the middle of the ground. But how
Speaker 4: important the decision, I guess, And what was the midfield group?
Speaker 4: How do they feel about Dante coming in? I mean,
Speaker 4: obviously you've had a fair go with Jordan Sweet we're
Speaker 4: probably a little nervous up here around what that might
Speaker 4: look like because Briley O'Brien had a pretty good week
Speaker 4: last week against Tom de Conning, who's one of the
Speaker 4: premier rupmen in the competition.
Speaker 1: But it Gizy held his own tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, we just show a lot of trust
Speaker 2: in all our players that the next man's going to
Speaker 2: step up. And he's been working really hard in the
Speaker 2: sandfull and really earned his position tonight, and he showed
Speaker 2: while we gave him the chance, he battles hard and
Speaker 2: he doesn't give up, So we love that about him.
Speaker 3: Your skipper set the tone early, not just because he
Speaker 3: had twenty one touches up to half time. Some of
Speaker 3: his one percenters he's technically he's chasing. He did a
Speaker 3: smother down at the riverbank stand in that saved the ball. Okay,
Speaker 3: he stuff to kick up the next one, but god,
Speaker 3: what a game he had to lead from the front
Speaker 3: like that from the half back fleet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been really good for us as a backline
Speaker 2: and as a team since he's gone back. Just a
Speaker 2: bit of leadership and voice down there and really help
Speaker 2: with ball movement going forward. And I think it's built
Speaker 2: him up the last few weeks in his confidence as well.
Speaker 3: So if Port play you're more in the midfield, you're
Speaker 3: more likely to sign with them.
Speaker 2: Miles, you like that one. I thought this question would come.
Speaker 2: I have been waiting patiently to play midfield. We've got
Speaker 2: such a strong group and a lot of boys that
Speaker 2: can go through there and it was a really good
Speaker 2: experience tonight. And yeah, we'll just have to see.
Speaker 3: But that's your future, riddit. I mean, you're a star
Speaker 3: that I don't want to waste it in the back line,
Speaker 3: but you're great. I don't want to waste your forward,
Speaker 3: but you're great. But I think midfield you could be
Speaker 3: a bona fider in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to stay in there if I could,
Speaker 2: but I'm happy to do whatever Ken he needs me
Speaker 2: to do, and I love the backline as well.
Speaker 3: Six years all right, Just tell us I've got Trendsey.
Speaker 1: Put a clause in their midfield only.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 4: Negotiate hard mate.
Speaker 3: Well you keep going, mate. You were terrific today, Thanks
Speaker 3: you times.
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, Mud, and you know that's great news
Speaker 1: that you're staying at Port Adelaide. So well done, mate,
Speaker 1: and I's got all the best next week ago so long.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, have one God, you've got to sign in
Speaker 2: here
