Is this the Port B-Team?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Paul Stewart has been Port's key forward for the day. Enough said.

 

[SilenceOz]

Is this the Port B-Team?

Some of them I'd say are the Port C team.
No excuse for this score but the majority of the players have never played a AFL game or played under 20 games.

Outs:
Boak
Ebert
Gray
Hartlett
Schulz
Wingard
Westhoff
Jonas
Carlile
Trengove
Lobbe
Cornes

Traveling okay in the last quarter, but yeah, was a massive 3Q time lead.

 

[SBYM]

I wonder which of breastfeeding mothers, queue-jumping immigrants or Andrew Ireland is gonna feel Kochie's wrath tomorrow morning?

 

[Dan]

In all seriousness if the two sides get through unscathed they'll be happy.

Wines almost didn't, some dirty Crows player elbowed him in the spine while he was in the air.

Weeks?

 

[SilenceOz]

Weeks?

Wouldn't happen, who takes the NAB serious enough for that.

 

[Tas]

Nothing in the Wines bump, just hit him in the lower back which knocked the wind out.

haha, give it a rest mate!

a fair assessment from someone not watching the game in tears.

disappointed in the way we took the foot off there, but Eddie looks every penny at this stage and M. Crouch, CEY and Cameron look like they're going to be massive players for us in the next couple of seasons.

 

[Puddy]

Pods doing nothing against a SANFL team is a worry

I really dont understand Crows supporters,
Im not watching the game in tears.
A hit doesnt have to take someones head off to be uncalled for.
Its like kicking someone in the back of the leg, it doesnt cripple them but its just stupid to do.

Why do you act like I just cut myself with my feelings?
What makes Crows supporters like this where they can't act like reasonable human beings and try an insult and belittle others opinions instead.

I already said no excuses for this game, what else do you want from me holy crap.

if he held half the chances he got his hands to he'd have 3-4 goals next to his name. Not worried yet.

EDIT:^err, what? I was metres away at the game and there was hardly anything in it and you're talking about Hartigan like he's a hitman. Just trying to give you some perspective.

we even had a guy fresh off the plane from ireland playing the first game of aussie rules he has ever played.

Jared Polec is going to be a beaut.

Mum must have made his favourite the night before.

Port looked very ordinary tonight. I know they had some players missing, but they didn't even offer a contest.

 

[dinger]

Make no mistake - I'm disappointed with the result and I don't want to discredit Adelaide's win. However, we were playing with numerous first gamers (iirc 6 or more), the only person in our leadership team who was on the field was Monfries, our 2 AA's out and god knows how many of our starting 22 out. I'm aware that Crows also had players out of their starting 22 but it simply wasn't comparable. Remember: Brisbane won the NAB cup last year and their performance throughout the actual season wasn't impressive.
For PAFC, I was really impressed by Harvey, Flynn, Polec (it wouldn't surprise me if we saw him in the starting 22) and Impey. Betts, Matt Crouch and a couple others (not really good with names on the Crows side of things, sorry guys) for AFC were quite impressive, Dangerfield is still as good as ever.

This match to me simply proved that the first showdown at Adelaide Oval will be a good match to watch for supporters of both teams, well played today Adelaide, I'm looking forward to round 2!

 

[PrideOf]

Meh. It's a practice match. They had a heap out, we had some out. It's about seeing the kids and the new players.

The only significant part of today was ...

Final score: Crows 18.11 119 vs Port 9.5 59

Ah, the memories.

 

[carn_the_pear]

You could probably take 2 different theories about the team that we fielded today...
Ken either wanted to give the young blokes a good run against quality opposition, and rest our main squad.
Or maybe Ken is trying not to show what our best 22 is capable of in front of a team that it is very important that we get the win over in round 2.

I'm not unhappy with our performance, nor am I happy. A lot of positives to take out from some blokes.

Dirty as in like how Dom standing over Danger and kneed Danger in ribs when he was getting up off the ground?
