Why are you here?

Why are you like your average South Adelaide fan? Roaming the streets of Norlunga and stealing hub caps from VB Commodores. :D
Just while we're on the topic of Noarlunga, I was actually down there today. I didn't see any VB Commodores, but what I did see was the Panthers rip the Maggies to shreds!

I got home to watch the second half of the Pears loss and obviously the match in which the pups were put put down. It's been a pretty bloody awesome Saturday!

Lol the port board is a wash with tears.
What happened to that premiership?
What happened to everybody wanting to be like port?
What happened to the creed?
What happens when you get a money focused president and a shit coach with no tactical nous, an overpaid fitness instructor and a bunch of players that are overrated, overpayed and rely on an inxs song to pump up their tyres?
This all began when Roo joined the board and started turning our club around. (And putting the Malachi curse on the pear);):drunk:

Didn't lobbe get injured playing reserves?
And 3 blokes on that "injured" list aren't injured at all. Unless for 2 it relates to them being used as pincushions. The kindest thing you could say about the other one is it was an "undisciplined act"

Dom getting completely owned on Twitter now. Safe to say we won't be hearing from him again lol.
I'm struggling to find 9 best 22 players that they're missing.

Ryder - yes, but he's a drug cheat so he doesn't count
Monfries - questionable and I'd say no if they want to be any good, but doesn't count as Ryder doesn't
Schultz - yes but he is older than the sun
Carlisle - maybe, similar to Monfries in that he's best 22 in a bad team
Hombsch - yes
White - yes
Lobbe - no as has been proven before when he and Ryder were playing together, was playing SANFL
Jonas - average at best and only has himself to blame for being out, doesn't count here
Polec - not injured

Am I missing anyone? I count 3 (maybe 4) best 22 injured and 1 best 22 suspended for being a drug cheat.

Not really any worse than most teams throughout the season.

Carlile wasn't best 22. He played SANFL and got injured there. Same as Lobbe.

I'd say their missing best 22 players are Schulz, White, Jonas, Hombsch and Ryder. Monfries borderline, and while Schulz is best 22, he could very easily become cooked. Lobbe and Polec got dropped so by definition they're not best 22.

Out of their missing best 22, two were suspended. So really they only have three injured best 22 players (Schulz, White and Hombsch). Plus Hombsch was in the team when they were shit earlier this year.

My oh my it's bad over there. Everytime they lose the 'I've lost my faith in Hinkley' thread gets bumped lol. At least a few are calling out Dom for making excuses. Apparently Kochie retweeted Dom's excuses tweet which shows the mindset. Looking forward to another year for Kern. Nice.

Junk time Jay is cooked. Ryder and Hombsch only difference makers there. Maybe make a case for Jonas as he's a big man but that's it. White is always injured so c'mon really. Typical excuses by them.

Shultz isn't best 22. Based on last year and his pre season form, he isn't best 22 anymore. His injury was the only thing keeping him being spoken about and if White played every year, he would have been found out and would be very similar to Polac.

White only had pace. No defensive efforts and doesn't stop him man from getting the ball. That's why he sucked at Richmond and his best season was 2014 when port power played 'run and gun' wiuth a defensive Russians roulette plan. They were lucky to the ball bounced their way and they'd won. White can not win his own ball and only looks good once he can get out on his own. One trick pony.

So they are only missing Hombsch.

Schulz may be cooked but Port would be playing him right now. They have no forward line.

My favourite was someone saying Dom Cassisi was a better captain than Travis Boak and Travis is the worse captain to ever captain the club.

Polec & Toumpas were utter crap against South - even those poor stats above flatter them

Could be a few more years, as I remember early last year Hinkley signed a contract extension to the end of 2018 - and I can't see Port having the funds to pay him out if they decide to sack him earlier.
They've never had funds. The AFL won't let him be removed.

Just while we're on the topic of Noarlunga, I was actually down there today. I didn't see any VB Commodores, but what I did see was the Panthers rip the Maggies to shreds!

I got home to watch the second half of the Pears loss and obviously the match in which the pups were put put down. It's been a pretty bloody awesome Saturday!
Did you check out Collonades? It's like the mecca of the dirty south.
