Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 3

[Janey]

Jackson Trengove, but one account is that he was hit when going to the assistance of a female outside who was upset. I said in another thread that I'd be very surprised if he would be starting fights when his partner and young child were in the vicinity. Sounds like it was outside the Moseley, maybe after his baby's Christening.

FFS - Crow numpties 'Port Culture' ... yea so what about Bock, Modra etc etc ... farken idiots - gave them a serve expect a ban!!!

... haha

 

[FPPF]

any idea who it is?

Yep.
But..

The club is investigating the matter and will not be making further comment until it has all the information at hand.

So wait. We don't need the **** heads at 5aa etc running shit with unconfirmed* info that isn't from the club directly. We know they will anyway, but we don't need to add fuel the fires they are trying to ignite against us.

Nothing to see here. I mean who here hasn't knocked out a couple of people during a family get together.

And there was an issue with one of their players that I am aware of through county footy contacts that has been kept very hush hush and out of the media. I just don't know how they do it.

Jackson mature lad. Doubt he was in wrong. Just worried it was a young player...

 

[Nemisis]

Joel Selwood is an obscenely good footballer and the epitome of who you would want as an on-field leader.

Love the Selwood plays. Has played a huge role at Geelong since his first game as an 18 yo

We don't consider it a family get together unless someone gets knocked out...

Who said that they were obsolete? I think they are overrated.

Looks to me as if the midfield getting on top is more important than anything else.

The big difference here is the inside 50s per goal and that is where being on top or at least breaking even in ruck was critical. A lot of our inside 50s were not clean and were cleared. Not as bad as the Swans game last year where a lot of inside 50s didn't even bring a possession inside 50 but still bad enough.

Ever since they tried to wear the State jumper in heritage round I take everything they say with a pinch of salt.

Most of those were because we missed easy set shots. We kick those, we actually have a better strike rate than GWS.

How is Rosary these days?

I've certainly thought about it. Nanna can be a real bastard at times.

Trengrove

Trengrove eh?

That's alright then. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Magpiespower]

Lol, she went straight to hospital after Mum's funeral and has pretty much been there ever since.

My sisters kept giving me updates on her, mistakenly thinking I gave a shit, until I clarified my position:

"Look, believe it or not, I don't bear Rosary any malice or ill will. Mainly coz I don't have any feelings towards her. None. At all. She's a stranger. A face in the crowd. A physical object. A stobie pole. But I do hope she enjoys however long she has left in her miserable life."

What? That was only a couple of years ago. If I had a pinch of salt for every time the Cows make a dodgy statement my arteries would have turned to jerky decades ago.

Andrew Hunter retweeted this whinge...


Keith Colon is right though - if the AFL has left Port's and the Crows' war dead out of the AFL ANZAC round Record it is a shocking oversight.

 

[mic59]

This was mentioned during the last quarter of the Geelong v St Kilda game but it bears repeating. Geelong have scored 34.13 to 9.12 in last quarters this season. In the first three quarters they have scored 60.21 to 50.51.

Eagles can't fly at the MCG but they have no problems at other away grounds. The Arc mattsea has done some analysis during Simpson's reign.

https://thearcfooty.com/2017/04/23/cant-eagles-fly/
In the past few years, since Adam Simpson took over as coach1, the Eagles have played 9 games at the MCG and won only 3 of them, a meagre 33.3% win rate. Meanwhile they’ve won 75.6% of their games at Subiaco.

All up, the Eagles have won 53% of their interstate games since 2014, just scraping into positive territory. Their record interstate is comparable to the Cats and Crows.

The difference between the Eagles’ win percentage in their home state (75.6%) and interstate (53%) is 22.6% – the third largest in the league, but not a million miles away from some other quality teams.

Port's small differential is due to maintaining a good away from home, better than our long run away average of 41% but dropping too many games at AO since we lost to the Eagles in Rd 6 of 2015. [Eagles are 2-0 against us and 2-1 against the crows at AO which is long and skinny like Subi]

As this covers from Rd 1 2014 ie start of AO and Ken's second year, our record in that period is;
* At AO we were 8-0, (inc the 2011 game before the redevelopment) before we lost the away showdown in Rd 15 of 2014 and went to 13-4 after winning the away showdown in Rd 3 2015. But then came that WCE game where they closed us down after half time and the scoreboard flattered us a bit with only a 10 pt loss. Since that game we have gone 11-13 at AO mainly due to a 2016 record of 4-8 to only have a 24-17 record at AO but a 22-17 record from Rd 1 2014 to R4 2017 as per the Arc's graph ie a 56.9% win-loss record at home.

* In our away games, our away record since R1 2014 to Rd 4 2017 is 18-16 ie 52.9% which gives the 3.5% differential as per The Arc's graph.

We have to get back to winning at least 2 out of every 3 games at AO and if we can maintain a 50%+ win-loss record on the road then we are approaching Top 4 status.
