2014 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[Elite Crow]

The equation is

Hawks beat Collingwood
swans beat Richmond
GC beat WCE

And Richmond lose to Sydney

Lots of ifs

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Simply we no longer deserve to make the finals as we have had the destiny in our own hands the last 2 weeks & blown it!

Both weagles & tigers are in better form.

Richmond deserve to make it imo they beat the saints and thats 8 in a row for them and I think there a good chance to beat the swans in rd 23

Gold Coast will beat the Eagles at Metricon. Unfortunately this may mean we get into the 8. I'm officially in the "I don't want us to play finals" camp.

I'm thinking this won't even be close. Eagles by mid 40's, so Crows will have no chance of making up the percentage. Pity that, because port would much rather play Eagles than the Crows in the elimination final…unless Port make the top 4.

Gold Coast , while losing, have remained competitive. WCE may win but I highly doubt they will flog them.

At worst we will be chasing a 70-100 point win

Actually, that's quite doable. But I'd hate for saints to win by that much.

Ha ha - true !

I should have said that's all dependant on SYD beating Richmond too.

This Port v Freo Top 4 race could come down to the wire. Interesting stat. If the games go according to the following...

Brisbane: 52
Fremantle: 132

Fremantle: 65
Port: 70

Both Port and Fremantle will have 60 points. Port's percentage will be 131.441%, Fremantle's 131.442%. Wouldn't that be a finish

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Nice of the Saints not to get our hopes up.

They could be doing the reverse. A big enough loss here would bring Richmond's percentage into play. Not to mention that it might rile the Saints up enough that they don't completely crumble to pieces next week.

They've got a rather annoying habit of ruining our season endings.

Our motto ever since 2003 is that we win the big ones and lose the close ones.

Oh God - thought it might take at least a few minutes but no - Whankley straight into furious Port fap with a special piece on the soccer rip off.

Nausea started - vomit soon

Massive try hards. All you can hear is NTUA being piped through the sound system. According to Robbo a lot of tweets bagging the xxxxx on Friday night.

Chatting to a mate yesterday who's a long-standing Port fan. Nice bloke though. Possibly the only one.

Anyway, he finally got a gap in his work schedule and went to his first game at AO. Took the wife and stood on the hill, right in front of the walkway. Halfway through the second term, the group of blokes behind him starting pissing on the ground. He turned around and offered to step out of their way so they could get through and head to the loos. "Sorry mate. We're happy here". Andy (my mate) then pointed out the family sitting about a metre to their left. "Why don't you turn around and watch the footy dickhead?" He said they could stand the smell until half time then they left, disgusted. And they're not going back.

Looks like the scarf thing and the song thing aren't the only things the PAPs are copying from soccer.

Is your point that dickheadism a Port only thing now? Perhaps we should start throwing glasses of piss at opposition presidents hey?

EDIT: Thought this was posted on the Port board, however the reply still stands.
DHs are colorblind when it comes to which teams they follow.

No surprises there.

Feel sorry for the paps - still not used to having many other people at their games.

Boooooooo

Geez, touchy much? It wasn't you was it?

No, my point was my mate is no longer going to the footy based on that behaviour. And that it's a very EPL-type behaviour, along with the scarves and song.

Yes mate, I headed to a Crows board and made up a story about the PAPs so you lot could wander over and get all offended. Got it in one.

Apparently everything else you do is an original concept of Port Power FC...

Yep, sure is. Wait till our original 20th man idea comes out. Other teams may have different numbers including 61st man, but 20th man will be totally original.

Well, we're the first to rip off multiple ideas from NFL teams. Doing that is original!
