"t's fair to call Port 'pretenders', says Hinkley"

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-07-02/its-fair-to-call-port-pretenders-says-hinkley

Bet I'd get banned in a heartbeat if I did it on a certain board though.

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.

Is Sue ports Lindy?

Lindy was in full melt yesterday.

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

Sounds like most people on this board around selection time, and well....pretty much all the time.

 

[aneale]

I've been reading the PAP board last night and this morning.....Janus is nowhere to be seen.....surprise, surprise.

Perhaps she's finally working out how stupid she is. That board is fed up with her garbage.

Yeah, yesterday's effort on AA was like a caricature of herself. Was like we'd lost by 20 goals. Time to cut her airtime... she ain't funny, adds nothing to conversation and seems to enjoy the publicity now.

What a great weekend of football.

We won at the G, Port lost to another top 8 side and another game at the Portress, none of the Bulldogs, Melbourne, GWS or Geelong got the 4 points and the Suns are finally starting to show a bit.

Who gives a flying f*** about the Suns

Hasn't updated the AFL Power Rankings thread on the Port board for a few rounds either. It was always impressive to see how Janus could cherry pick stats to prove Port are the best team in the comp every week.

Happened to catch 7 news either Thursday or Friday. There was a bit about how Kern was a bit fed up with no one rating the pear just because they haven't beaten a top 8 side.

Oh dear.

He's gonna go spare this week then.

Sub 40k crowd for them again last night against a top 8 team in a prime timeslot in perfect weather. I did read one of their posters explain that it has been a particularly cold winter so lower crowds are to be expected.

After last night, sub 40,000 crowds at Adelaide Oval

Port Adelaide Power 18 - AFC 1

Doesn't really need mentioning but....... the neutral element of their early crowds have fallen away.

"If we were brave enough as a club to sack Ken now, we could genuinely win a flag this year."

Not fallen away - they don't bother going anymore. If you ever been to a Port game, you would know why.

Did think about going yesterday as was in Next Gen just before the game then thought **** no!

 

[kirky]

"If we were brave enough as a club to sack Ken now, we could genuinely win a flag this year."

What the **** do they smoke?

You've had stuff all injuries and you still can't beat a top 8 side.

Need Saints to win today to keep that record in tact.

A forward who can't jump is nearly as bad as a ruckman who can't jump.

How often did Plugger jump? How often does Josh Kennedy jump? How often for that matter does Buddy Franklin jump?

From the Port board

"It's so sad that we don't even believe we can overcome a two goal deficit with 20 minutes remaining. Where did the last quarter comeback kings from 2013/14 go?"

Where did they go?? It's been 4 years since you've been able to do that and only now you're wondering where they've gone??

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

And that's exactly right

They played a "new" brand of footy back then for them anyway that relied on speed

Those same players are coming up 4 years older - 4 years slower

he's got his head in the sand on plenty of other things though.

Yes
But I think he one of the more realistic coaches when it comes to the list .

From 2013-2014 remember when Port fans thought Hinkley was the king?

Reckon they must have thought Walshy was Kern.

Ha!
That smug smirk nowhere to be seen now '

 

[RodnyDangrfield]

Geez Dustin Martin is a freak. Get him in our side and we would be near unstoppable on our day. That double fend off with opposing hands was boner bringing. I seriously had a bar superman couldn't bend. Best player in the Afl, Danger can have his hacked kicks and throw handballs to the boundary. Dustin is the best by a fair way.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Interesting how he has been removed from all advertising. None of this 'we will never ever give up'crap.

Still trying to find a statistic to make them a top team... tried thousands of combinations & won't come back til they find the one that says Port are awesome. How about % wins against bottom teams?

In all seriousness, hopefully Janus is OK, after coming to the realisation that Port are not amongst the top teams this year & are on the edge of making/missing finals.
