Analysis 2017 Non-Crows Discussion Thread - Part V for Vendetta

[Sanders]

If you have a spare 10 minutes at this busy time of the year I recommend reading a 4 page thread on the other board about wolves being fed, it is a brilliant read. Here are a few gems

"In fact...the Watts for 31 trade will go down in history the way that the Groom/McLeod trade did."

"Seriously, with the players we've recruited, if we don't win the flag Geelong 2007 style, something has got to be wrong."

"We've weeded out the people who didn't believe in the system. Now it's time to show those campaigners from Richmond how we do things downtown. We have the tools, we have the talent."

"Hinkley can sell his dream to any player in the league, because what he’s offering is the chance at football immortality - a revolution in style that has never been seen before."

"It's not about Port Adelaide winning a flag. It's about Port Adelaide changing the game with how we win the flag. Whether we actually do change the game or not is irrelevant - it's the kind of mentality truly successful sides espouse. It's about making a difference. It doesn't start in 2018. It started back in 2013. But we move from Stage 4 to Stage 5 in 2018.
In 2018, we are the greatest football team in the world."

To be fair though, this was silent J who aside from being a ludicrously 3rd rate intellect even admits to being drunk and high when writing it

For Christmas we should all chip in $5 and get him laid for the first time, think he might be a changed man afterwards

Once again we are their benchmark

But they have an official policy at Port not to talk about us.......

So it's a policy NOT a rule

 

[Deaneus!]

Yeah it’s more of a guideline

I'm still not sure if he is usually drunk and high when he's posting, or if this was one of his better posts because he was pissed and high

Really, really hard to say

 

[arrowman]

Something about AC Milan, I think. Or Netherlands v Uruguay in the 74 World Cup.

And Jack Watts is Johann Cruyff.

I think. I'm sober, so I may have it wrong.

Port Adelaide Football Club - defined by the Adelaide Crows since 1991.

That’s funny since up until 1997 they were just a reserves team without an a grade

With the smears having problems finding a new major sponsor after Renault saw their car sales plummet with their sponsorship deal, I was wondering who they could look to as a new major sponsor.
I was thinking that unlike Renault they should look to one who their supporters would have more of an interest in.
Off the top of my head I was looking at
"Royal Park Dental"
"All Holden Spares"
"The Reject Shop"
"Dutch Master"
"SA Legal Hotline"

Maybe foodbank is willing to go around again?

 

[Jenkins4]

Maybe we demand elite standards?

So the 6 year old who throws a tantrum tomorrow morning for not getting his/her ideal present is 'demanding elite standard' from his parents?

Don't think so.

 

[hey shorty]

If Jack Watts becomes an all-time great and wins back to back norms I will never ever post here again.

I would have decent money on pick 31 being a better player but you know, Melbourne

Port Adelaide Football Club - chasing & in the shadow of the Adelaide Crows since 1991.

Thomas' talk was pure spin.

Port would prefer sellouts on the back of mostly 11 game members like we do... If they could sell enough.

Can you imagine the Crows reducing their 11 game memberships so we can get more people attending? Same with the Weagles. Would be laughed at.

I thought Fagan was adopting a similar strategy. Didn't he mention reducing the number of 11 game memberships available so that we had more match day tickets available which increases total engagement.

When we moved to Adelaide Oval the afl asked us to keep a minimum number of match tickets available... but the vast majority of ours are season tickets.

They need to replace 2 sponsors, Four'ntwenty is not a sponsor of Port. hence the tape on the shorts. I also notice there new short have no sponsors name on them they have the Port logo.

This article references it briefly, but I'm sure that I read Fagan saying that we reduced the number of 11 game memberships available so we could sell more 3 gamers.

That's a shit analogy. Lift your standards

That's cause the AFL get a big slice of the money from tickets sold on match day. That's why we had to shell out an extra $400,000 a few years ago to the AFL for a seat levy that the Power didn't pay (because they have more game day tickets). The AFL get their money either way.

I hope my 6 year old can take a contested mark tomorrow or he might get delisted as he’s not getting what he really wants.

 

[GameofSloanes]

This board is the direct opposite; its overly negative.

After reading quite a number of post, they are aready saying we have no change to win the flag and unless we do, the year will be a waste of time. Its only bloody Christmas Eve and 2018 is over.

They maybe extremely positive to the point of dilution but this board is increasingly negative.

I guarantee if we win the flag there will still be posts saying 'i can't believe xxx is a premiership player'. Probably Jenkins

Or we would have won by more if player X, Y and Z didn't play.
