2014 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[ruscy002]

And Chudd thinks that they're finally heading in the right direction huh?

I think Carlton are more ****ed than I had ever previously imagined. So bereft of on field leadership, especially in the younger age bracket. Their next leadership group hasn't been drafted yet, let alone their next captain.

 

[JP Sauce]

Sack Trigg!

 

[Tex200]

I wonder what they will be doing at Alberton on Monday morning, recovery? Review the game? Or filming another reading of the creed for AFL 360?

Oh God imagine Whankley and his Power fap on Monday - will be automatic vomit

 

[AFC3000]

There it is they are "back in the premiership race" after beating Carlton at home.

 

[BACCS]

As bad as Carlton were, Port were damn good tonight. Still think Freo will finish 4th though.

We were a finals threat after belting Brisbane Lion Cubs too.

 

[pjcrows]

Port will finish 5th but they needed that type of win.

 

[footy4ever]

Good luck to Port, they're having a real crack at 4th spot and if they get over Freo in the West (even without Fyfe and Barlow), then they deserve to be there.



Disclaimer - this in no way means this poster will be happy to see Port in the top4.

That's surely a cardable post?

Its what happens when youve only got 5 contributors every week, like us.

Correction - every 2nd week!

 

[Tyls83]

s**t teams don't have 100 point wins... Oh actually....

 

[Dandy_GO]

Bloody impressive win. Carlton were awful, but Port seriously punished them. Robbie Gray is such a jet. I reckon the Freo/Port game will be great viewing, or at least as close to great as Ross Lyon games get. I think Port might get up, now they've got Trengove back. Spells trouble for us if we manage to sneak 8th. Freo absolutely dismantled us last time we played. I wouldn't tip us against either right now, but I think we'd be at least competitive in a showdown final, while we'd probably get bloody thumped in Perth.

Still gotta make the 8, of course.

Trigg influence is kicking in

 

[Archie87]

I tagged along to the game with my Teal-loving wife (the things we do for love, eh?). They played very well. Robbie Gray is an absolute jet. Should poll very well if the maggots are watching closely enough. Port have got very few injuries again and have found their run and carry. The difference between how they play at near full strength like tonight vs. our game plan sticks out like a sore thumb. They spread hard, run and carry it, make space for each other, get the ball onto the fat side for players to run onto and look to kick it to leading forward. We like to create contest after contest, handball too frequently (mostly to blokes under pressure) and bomb it long in hope.

If we play them with their current side (barring no further injuries) on a dry deck in an elimination final ( if we even make it, which is looking unlikely), I struggle to see how we'd get within 7 goals of them at a bare minimum (and that's if we play to our absolute best). If it rains and becomes a slog, then we'd be more of a chance. Apologies for being "negative", I just grow weary of watching other football sides with a semi-reasonable game plan play good football when ours just clearly doesn't work.

 

[Sir Vlado]

I wouldn't go that far yet, they haven't really played a 'great' match since Sydney at the SCG.

Good win, but saw Carlton last week live and they were horrible. Port punished every mistake, Geelong didn't last week. Freo will give a better indication of where the PAP's are at.

Whats a PAP?

 

[Archie87]

Whats a PAP?

Yeah... because you guys don't have any silly nicknames for us.

Port Adelaide Power = PAP. Sure you've never called the Crows the Cows or something equally humorous...

 

[PCORF]

Also the biggest ever crowd to see an AFL game in SA. But not surprised, was expecting over 50,000. But footy is a funny game, if Freo beat Brisbane, then its Fremantle vs Port next week (early Saturday Afternoon game) and the winner of that game will get a MASSIVE ADVANTAGE in September. Fremantle has lost only once at home this season, by 13 points to North Melbourne on a Friday night back in April.

The 5th placed team will probably lose the semi final anyway. Finishing top 4 is always so important. So either Port or Fremantle will, we will see.

 

[SpeciousArgument]

Oh s**t, port beat Carlton, they must be 'back'

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Oh wow Port beat Melbourne. Oh wow Port beat Carlton.

Means nothing. Both those teams SUCK!

They both beat us though...
