Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 10

[Waspy79]

Far out the Crows have a dream draw. North, GC, StK and Freo next. **** me. After their shit start they may still end up 5-2.

And with 3 more games against Carlton (twice) and the Saints they can’t be written off yet sadly. I’d be shocked if they don’t make the 8.

Given Walker's current form, the SANFL coach would be begging Pyke to keep him in the AFL team.

.... and don’t forget the SA Police escort when he arrives at some nondescript suburban oval!

 

[Doctor Feel]

He didn't actually think they'd win the flag, he just set a bar so high that he'll be tearing into them no matter what.

Continuing the slide into the back pocket while ratboy is interrupting his 'me me me' routine really makes this.

So lame, yet so apt.

Will have the Bombers-Dees game on mute with Benny Hill music track.

Melbourne greats Garry Lyon and David Schwarz have reacted with dismay to the Herald Sun’s bombshell report about their club’s tanking saga.
Leaked documents featuring interviews conducted between AFL investigators and Melbourne staff, coaches, players and officials in 2012 have been uncovered by the newspaper and include eight figures reportedly admitting the football department had been directed not to win more than four games.
Players — who were not seriously injured — were also reportedly kept off the ground to limit interchange rotations, while the report also referred to “fake injuries” which ruled certain players out of selection.

To the customers it’s the same thing

 

[finbarr]

They'll have to fabricate an injury in order to drop Taylah. Pyke won't have the balls to send him to the SANFL.

How long until Walker re-grows his mullet to try and win back the love of crow fans?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Crows lost contested possessions by 43.

They are not buying what Pyke is selling.

Question is do they sack the coach or the players?

Compare the Pear and how they are faring so far this season:
Gibbs born 1989 to Crows for 2 first round draft picks
Rocky born 1990 to Port as RFA.
Sweet.

Should have made the brave decision and stepped down as captain liike Boak did.

 

[Adz2332]

crows will be a tough team on their day. when the big forwards click or when jacobs and the midfield plays well with the talent they have in there they will still be tough.

But gee all of a sudden the forward line looks to tall or to old. Tex plays like a 35 yr old man, betts is all but done, if jacobs starts breaking down they have no ruckman at all, the mid field look just one paced, gibbs jenkins betts jacobs all on the wrong side of 30 and lynch sloane tex not far behind.

They really have to nail the up coming draft with the high carlton pick they will have and the few early second rounders.

still think they can play finals tho

The thing I’ve enjoyed most this year about Walker is the way he’s been so single minded in finding confidence and form that he’s regularly putting himself above team by burning teammates in better positions and going for that long bomb captains goal, or the big speccy mark to give him a lift.

When their big forwards click huh well that means pushing up ridiculously high so they get it all out the back on the flip, man you take the old gooses out the back away they suck they don't even know how to lead.

 

[Grave Danger]

Damo wouldn't be able to run through a banner of his mean tweets...

 

[philthy05]

I think they'll try and trade it to Gold Coast for Izak Rankine

They will sure try. Can’t imagine they look too appealing though.

Hows the ****ing stupidity of this mob

Headline - Sex and drugs

Pic - jack watts doing weisn koks, a legal substance traditional at a German festival off some Sheila’s boobs.

It’s not like they couldnt have used any of the literally dozens of afl players who have actually been involved in real drug or sex scandals.

Wait are you saying that the AFL covered up an obvious scandal to protect its own interests?

No way man!

It’s so laughable

I still remember when they found them not guilty of tanking and gave them a 500k fine. All the melb campaigners here were swearing up and down they were exonerated.

Reminds me of the essendope simpletons who swore up and down they were exonerated too.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Should have made the brave decision and stepped down as captain liike Boak did.

I think it was on Foxtel before the game last night and they were talking about how Pyke had to have talks with Walker about the co captaincy thing and that Walker needed some time to think about it blah blah blah. It's obvious this is a strategy to let him down slowly, although Walker is that stupid he probably doesn't see it. There's no way Walker will give up the captaincy without kicking and screaming, it was always destined to end badly with him. If he keeps playing as poorly as he has been this year it's going to be quite the car crash in slow motion.

Literally all the things mentioned in the teaser for this advertiser article- are things Jack Watts HASNT done.

The club should be on the phone about this pronto.

His teammates must be taking notice as they burnt him continuously last night. Multiple leads ignored over and over again.

 

[manureid]

They look a bit shite the Crows but you just know we will make them look good. Inb4 Betts and Walker kill us.
