2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[Jeffcrowe]

Oh i think if we put in the type of performances Port did .....yes it's likely to halve

Crows supporters won't tolerate losing & won't support a losing team ....that said IMO Port supporters didn't like the brand of footy Port were playing as much as they hated losing

Our supporters are just as quick to drop off , heck when we lost that first home final to Sydney in 2012 about 27k fronted up the next week when we beat Freo , about as embarrassing as when we leave in hoardes in last quarters when the game is slipping

My only rule as a supporter is to never leave before the final siren but I have broken it a couple of times in 100 point losses

 

[Pdub]

Supporters of all teams leave early when the game is lost, I'd bet the same % of the crowd leaves for every team, it's just more noticeable for teams who pull big crowds leaving little space for opposition supporters like us.

I don't live in SA so only watch the crows play once or twice a year live, but go to many non-crow games and leave early whenever the game is clearly over, particularly if the away team is winning and there will be no victorious atmosphere to enjoy, If I leave 5 mins before the final siren it takes me 15-20 mins to get home, if I leave after the siren it takes me an hour to get home.

People who always stay to the end of the game should be thanking those who leave early as they are reducing the congestion for when they leave.

You'll see first hand this year...

At least we don't play heavyweights such as Carlton and Brisbane in our first 8 weeks. Man I'd hate to have our finals aspirations ruined by running into those sides.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Former AFL listed players going to the follow SANFL clubs:

Central District: Elliott Kavanagh and Nick Holman
North: Jordie McKenzie , Matt McDonough and Mitch Harvey
Norwood: Matt Fuller , Anthony Wilson and Lewis Johnston
South: Tom Fields
Sturt: Scott McMahon , Brodie Martin , Aidan Riley and Jack Osborn
WWT: Nick O'Brien , Jarrad Redden and Cameron Giles

Don't pay too much attention to Janus according to him we will give away more free kicks because playing aggressive footy means being second to the ball and Pyke has admitted we won't win as much contested ball.

 

[Contested Marx]

It is heartening that the Crows fans have added another weapon to their arsenal.

So it's now:

Lol 119
Lol Tarps
Lol Port Power Est. '96
Lol yous guys lost to Carlton and Brisbane 2015

 

[Elite Crow]

That's a pretty good collection but you forgot:

Losses to expansion teams Gold Coast and GWS
Dream Final
Jenny Williams

Lewis Johnston is crazy for not going to the US and getting a scholarship to become an American football kicker in the NCAA.

I don't think you get what the joke is. It's more about the preseason hype.

Was he offered a trial?

 

[Pdub]

Was he offered a trial?

I have no idea, but if Scott Harding was able to get one then he would have been able.

It's never late to start! He's got a great kick on him and NFL / NCAA always look for kickers

It's what I would have done if I was him, being a college athlete is a dream life for a young single lad, not to mention it could lead to a career in the NFL where he could be a kicker until the end of his 30s earning more money than any AFL player.

It's no worse than the inane garbage your mob comes up with to heap shit on us.

p.s. using "yous" in a sentence is a giveaway that you're an idiot.

Good, stronger competition for our reserves to play in, makes our players develop faster.

What's with all the Port posters in here lately? must be January or something...

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Not necessarily - sometime that week the CAS decision will be handed down. More importantly though, Tuesday our time, the second part of the WADA report into the IAAF will be released and that should be very interesting reading.

Please be bans involved!

 

[MRB37]

AFL site has a "who will win a Premiership first, Brad Scott or Damien Hardwick". Shame they didn't include a "neither" option when it came to voting.

 

[MRB37]

Please be bans involved!

Prepare to be disappointed.

 

[Geoffa32]

If Essendon players get off it tells the athletes of the world you can dope, as long as all records are destroyed. And you can use that as a defence.

Can see that defence being used by every dodgy sports program who is a WADA signee.

I've been prepared for this since...forever. If there are findings of guilty, and bans handed down, I guarantee players will miss a paltry number of games if any at all. Happy to be proven wrong, but any bets?

So basically Crows players beat port players 284-408 but they brought in Travis Head who won it for them.
