2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part III

[fabs33]

When was the last time Port beat a top eight side aside from the geriatric kangaroos?

 

[Cap]

Every time Port lose, their supporters say "This isn't the Port Adelaide I grew up watching".

Because they aren't. They never have been.

They will never understand that.

Fiveaa... Sue did something she's never done before, switched it off during the third quarter. Sick of them missing set shots... "thhaaats not Port Adelaide."

Yes it is Sue.

The flag is so wide open it's ridiculous. It's a pity we aren't 5-10% better than we currently are as we'd be a monty. Who the hell is going to win it?

 

[Simmo28]

Agree, but this was our worst outcome as voids our percentage.

The worst outcome was losing to North and Hawks and to a lesser extent Melbourne. We need to keep winning and tonights result doesn't change that.

To be honest Powell Pepper is a star. For a first year player, he stood up tonight.

Ogilvie (and many others) stuffed that one up...he wasn't even Port's first choice!

But on the topics of first year players, and seeing the impact of Richmond's mosquito fleet...I believe the time has come to play Galluci (along with a returning Cameron).

Unlike Richmond we will also have quality talls but a forward half with a rotating fleet of Betts, Knight, Cameron, Galluci, Milera will give us the pace/zip/pressure/chaos we need down there.

Truest words ever spoken

 

[Cleric]

I wonder what Janus heatmaps showed tonight.

Have to like the one I saw 1st

Port Adelaide is a made in China plastic franchise.

Bears no relation to the entity that dominated south Australian footy for generations

Geelong's draw inc GWS, Sydney, Richmond, us and their bogey team, Collingwood.

GWS's draw inc Sydney, Richmond, Geelong, West Coast, Melbourne and Bulldogs. So if GWS win the majority of these they will knock out those fighting for a top 4 spot.

Richmond have the best draw of the top 4 - GWS and Geelong of the top 8 only (plus Saints twice!!! - how does that happen in last 8 weeks of a season)

Just cause one player picked after us is quality doesn't mean we've stuffed the pick up at all.

North Melbourne because it started the doubts. Hawthorn because it confirmed those doubts

Whoever has the best day. Who gets there is anyone's guess but I still think once the Giants get some cattle back they'll win.

Sydney IF they make it will be tough. Everyone else has huge question marks.

It was obvious I was talking about the worst outcome of the GWS v Cats game... mentioned this at 3 quarter time & jinxed myself.

 

[Swooping Crow]

Lol Port are rubbish. Eagles by 80 points next week.

Expecting the 'Hinkley lost faith' thread to get a good run-through the next few days.

All good mate, I thought draw was on cards about the same time. The game felt like it was heading that way.

And out of the eight where those frauds and snake oil merchants belong.

Lol, Ken on AA "wants Ken's job, coach knows nothin, doesn't listen to anyone who knows"

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Just cause one player picked after us is quality doesn't mean we've stuffed the pick up at all.

I'm actually very positive about Galluci but we have to be honest and say missing SPP was a mistake.

I reckon if the coaches pull their heads out of their arses over the course of the next month we could be right back in the hunt.

No but I'll take any West Coast win - puts Port on the brink.

What makes it great is they have beaten the bottom side TWICE! Overrated mob of flogs!

Yep, Beech out for Gooch for the rest of the year would be good IMO.
