Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 8

Am i sensing a few reformed drinkers in this thread? They're always a load of fun.

FWIW ban alcohol at games or don't ban it, it doesn't bother me. However if we are honest emotions run high at the football especially in games like last night and people can go off with or without alcohol.

I used to work with a bloke who went to the pub after work every night without fail, and was rarely home before 9pm. One night he came home at 6pm, and soon after his wife arrived home from doing the shopping. She saw the light on, and immediately called the police: thinking she was being burgled .

We don't even have a ruck coach. Pretty sure we just lump it under "That dude no one knows...graves? Greaves? Yeah, give it to him along with whatever else he does."

No wonder we never develop our own rucks.

Would be nice to have skills and ruck coaches that are stand alone. I don't count our skills analyst as a coach as he's just a data dude.

So we have Brendan Lade and he does nothing with the rucks?

Overpopulation won't be fixed by shorter, shittier life-spans. We just have to start, as a planet, having less children. Then we can have long, healthier lives sustainably. We need a few generations of one-child policy, globally.

edit: yes, I know this would be impossible to achieve.

Shorter isn't necessarily shittier

With the quality of scoring power and lack of developed rucks, it seems like he has done absolutely nothing since getting here.

How the hell did we go a whole quarter without scoring against Carlton???

We've done it a fair few times in the past few seasons.

Not sure this is scientifically correct:

"As people drink alcohol, they experience reduced functioning of the pre-frontal cortex of the brain, a part that plays an important role in how people regulate behaviour and make decisions. When people drink, they tend to make poor decisions and are more likely to react emotionally to situations in which they might normally respond with more reason and reflection. When people drink they are also less likely to consider the possible consequences of their actions."

I am all for people having a drink at the footy but it will always cause problems with the minority of dicks that are already predisposed to violent behaviour.

Any sort of violence should attract an immediate life ban.

Yes, Power Girl us reformed drinkers are a load more fun ... now that we are sober. I was a no-it-all, boring twat when i drank!

 

[LFC2010]

LOL Carlton!!!.

absolute basket case of a club.

Carlton just fold

 

[Buget]

Anyone watching the Carlton game? Lobbe looks like he is going alright.

21 hit outs, only down (23 total for the game, hawks have 24) at half time, 9 touches as Wells

 

[TeeKray]

I hate it when we play Sunday twilight but I hate it even more when the lead in game sucks.

Ban alcohol at the footy people will just get more plastered b4 they go and sneak in a little flask...

I think he possibly took over it when he came in as Greaves was moved into whatever it is he does now. He probably spends five minutes each week making jokes with them and says "good hustle"

 

[Buget]

Has there been any ‘crowd behaviour’ issues for Port this year? Can think of any.

I find it a little ironic that all the fights are happening in Melbourne.... So Port aren’t the only club with inappropriate supporters.

Thought there was infighting between port supporters earlier in the year? Prob between #hinkleyout and #inhinkleywetrust brigade?

Or was it the Frampton-in vs Frampton-out groups?

Because Ports. We are simply NOT a top 4 side period.

You must have missed Seven Adelaide’s EXLUSIVE video footage of the OUTRAGEOUS fight outside the Magary room.

Hawks with a healthy % boost to jump a few spots today.

Tend not to watch anything from Seven Adelaide, prefer actual news from actual journalists.

Incorrect, he does nothing with the forwards

Ban Alcohol, might as well drug test people as well.
