Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 6

[Garibaldi Red]

Crow-vertiser back in force. Not one article on the Power in the paper today, whilst there are 6 crows articles, including the back page.

Not saying it has to be “even” but surely something of interest has happened at Port.

We are treated in the same way the Labor party is by the Murdoch press. I used to get upset by it, now I wear it like a badge of honour.
We threaten their ownership of SA hence their desperation to ignore/belittle/scoff us with bias and hostility
should be seen as a sign that we're in their heads.
The level of hate and anger on their board reflects the paranoia

paranoia meaning.

To be fair, we had quite a few articles in yesterday’s paper, including the back page, whilst there were none on the Crows.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Yes your right but you'd concede the long term trend has not been equal or even close to it.

Absolutely. We may get an equal amount of good/bad news stories but we don't get the blow smoke up our backside stories (which I am glad about).

CROWS captain Taylor Walker has not re-watched last year’s AFL grand final collapse beyond three quarter-time.

so he's was joining in with all of the other supporters then, how wonderful!. LOL.

That’s ok, he still gets to watch he and his team kick one goal between the end of the first qtr and the start of the last.

Tex was happy though, cause he kicked it

The thickened plot is that there is an actual Big Texan™ - 6'11"/243-pound Dallas native Mason Cox - elsewhere in the league.

Shhh, don't tell Taylah's lawyers.

Agreed.... but with a game happening this weekend, surely they can write about both teams.

(I am just a fickle supporter, I pay for online access as I live interstate, only way to get news about AFL living in Sydney)

Cant blame him really. Why would you wanna
watch a game that you werent involved in?

[JimmyBeerCans]

I've seen plenty of games where Tex is an absolute nonentity does he have the most bloated profile in the game for such a mediocre player in living memory?

 

[Alberton Proud]

I’m hoping he stays, but on an over the top contract, that keeps them out of the race for good uncontracted players and free agents. They’ll get to boast they’ve fixed the issues, without actually doing so and costing long term for the short term stay of execution.

Jerker says hi !

Just thought i'd contribute on page 69 (dude). Just so you know, when you guys play Adelaide, we are merging clubs for the weekend. You've been warned. Cheerio.

No way Bells is bigger than Wiamea, bro!

 

[Doctor Feel]

lol @ the crows getting crushed by Richmond improving the profile of the showdown because of unanimous dislike of the corporation

Fix your sig. Port fans were jumping for joy at 5pm Sep 30th.

People trusted you Tex, and they died (at the mcg)....

The fallout from Sloane leaving and resultant implosion will be elite. Since they left, these former superstars immediately transformed:

• Phil Davis is now Phil Davi$
• Gunston is now a mummy's boy
• Dangerfield is FIGJAM and made the Crows midfield worse somehow (possibly due to the acquisition of emerging superstar Dean Gore)
• Nathan Bock is a drug addict
• Kurt Tippet is now the worst bloke of all time
  
• Jake Lever is possibly the worst of them all for some reason, and made baby Jesus cry. Something about his face.
• In addition and as a generality, if any have partners they are succubus who also forced them to leave. Also these guys all literally couldn't say no because of money.

My guess is, following his announcement to move the Rory Sloane god worship will break down over the course of a few days along three key themes

1. THE PLAYER: Rory is weak and can't handle a tag anyway
2. THE CHARACTER: Dangerfield got in his ear, he's impressionable, not a leader, no wonder Tex The Big Texan Texas Walker was made captain etc.
3. THE PARTNER: Belinda has him by the balls and she's put her career over him winning a premiership, selfish.

Nigel will fight against every screaming urge in his body and send him a B&F invite, only for Tex to go round his house and hide his car keys the night before. Sloane leaves in acrimony, Fagan makes a passive aggressive tweet, a brief nationwide light is again shone on the cultureless corp which is swept under the rug locally, Crows pick up a late first round pick (later described as "brave" in Size 72 font on page 1 of the Powertiser), David Mackay retires and is automatically appointed a development coach, a swamp tier SANFL side get their 15 mins of fame by blaming it on Port, the latest CEY equivalent will be ordained the second coming, and the wheel goes round again.

Gunston says hello!

Was Kane Johnson the pioneer of such scally wag behaviour?

I think that might be due to attention span. I'm surprised he got that far tbh.

He probably was, and then Tyson Stenglein a couple of years later!

Geez .... can they keep anybody?

 

[Steve Dore]

... But how on earth did it become the big Texan? He's not even from Texas ffs. ...

Yeah, I asked the people of Texas last time I was there about The Big Texan™ and they'd never even heard of them.

 

[Duck Farmer]

I get the Tex nickname, I do.

But how on earth did it become the big Texan? He's not even from Texas ffs.

I have it on good authority he's named after a burger.

Jokes aside, that's poor form.

I'd expect that the leader of the team would be as well equipped as possible should they be in a similar position in grand final in any time in the future.

Tex got his nickname from an imaginary TV show character ..
So he went on and played an imaginary role in the AFL final ..

I believe he intended to watch it but then In The Night Garden came on abc-kids and had to switch over
