2016 Non Crows AFL Discussion thread Part 2

[Runnin Blue]

Read it like a book. Posted at 9:50pm last night.

Didn't get the radio right but it did hit the news services. Some lady was on channel 9.



It's almost a cliche after a power showdown loss.

Jesus Christ, Nostradamus over here. Good call.

(Unless it was you that purposefully started the ruckus in order to fulfill your prophecy lol)

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

It was an easy call. They use that stuff to deflect attention away from their loss.

Crows used to have to save 1500 seats but not sure anymore.

No, match day entertainment has to be directed towards the main demographic - the home crowd

All im suggesting is 2 or 3 minutes that discusses the away team. The reason is that plenty of supporters live in a different city to the team they support and the only time they can see them live is when the team visits. They should get to experience something that includes them as a supporter.

 

[adelaidecrows]

On the same day that a Port member is banned for life for racist behaviour, a story emerges that a Crows fan allegedly "assaulted" (tipped a beer) on an elderly female Port fan at the game.

I find the timing of this interesting.

Its just deflection 101.

Not sure why the pear lot think we're a paper tiger for not putting them away. Have they forgotten we both rise for showdowns? Geelong, Sydney and Hawthorn have all had ugly wins too and, unlike us, losses against the bottom ten.

They have all lost games to teams outside the 8.... we haven't. And we won't. If we lose again in 2016, it'll be to a good team at least

To be fair we only play top 8 teams from now on But it was different heading into games we should win and actually win them this year.

Easton Wood's ankle roll looked painful. Any early word on how bad it is?

It wasn't a roll. He came down hard with the foot completely straight and immediately clutched at the achilles. However, he walked fairly freely coming off, so a strange one.

 

[BRL121]

Yep, she will undergo a cultural awareness program over summer from an internal Port provider and with an amazing rehabilitation 'indefinitely' will quietly change to next Feb.

I doubt she will do this. I expect that she will simply ignore the whole process, as she is entitled to do. It's only an "invitation" from Kochie, not a court order.

Just had a look over on the Port Power board, and I came across a great OP which made me chuckle. It's been liked 109 times.

It begins saying:

'Cast your mind back a few short years to when we were in the doldrums. Onfield, off-field, the works. Shitshow writ large.

While we'd all agree the crux of the problems that led to our eventual nadir of 2011-2 were obvious - club cleft in two, AAMI Stadium, dud timeslots and a lack of national exposure eroding our sponsorship value leading to the financial implosion that saw us slash'n'burn our football-related spend - there were deeper gremlins afoot.

There was a populist opinion outside Alberton that it was simply on the nose. That it was too Port Adelaide.' [Oh, so you were shit because the club had been cleft in two ... by YOU when you established Port Power? Because AAMI Stadium emanated anti-Port gas 24 hours a day, even though you used it to become minor premiers three times and premiers in 2004? Because the big bad AFL were tearing you apart with shitty timeslots? That's okay, we know that a lot of your supporters can't handle having to be awake at 1PM on a Sunday.]

The post then criticises the 'vanillaisation' of Port, going on to say:

'David Koch has delivered a club whose success is now measured in crowd numbers, receipts and outsiders' smiles. The very club we feared John James and Kevin Foley would railroad us into.

100% vanilla. 0% ticker. Port Adelaide in name only.' [Uhh, your crowds aren't great lads. Roughly a third of those bandwagoners from 2014 are nowhere to be seen. And yes, the last bit is totally accurate. You have no ticker whatsoever - and drove the point home by playing your absolute best when your season was over, and only because you were playing the Crows. Suffer in your jocks, you arrogant lemmings. We are going to play finals again while you have a holiday, again. We fly as one, and you're torn.]

Kane Cornes and his embarrassing performance on the radio sums up employment in Adelaide in a nutshell.

"it's not what you know, but who you know."

Flog

Carry over points and previous record don't exist any more

Previous record still does. It is mentioned in every MRP statement:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-07-25/match-review-panel-full-statement-round-18

"A first offence for wrestling was classified as a $1500 sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty."

Here's a table thanks to a Brisbane supporter, suggesting Adelaide haven't quite had a miraculous injury free season and that there are plenty of teams with similar 'good luck';

I find the made up story par for the course.

Who's their daddy?

 

[Mike Smyth]

Sloaneys great mates with Hamish McLaughlin so I'm thinking Hamish will ring Gil and it'll get sorted.

Jesus is he. That's concerning.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Must admit I'm amazed by the improvement in Hartigan and Lyons.

Nah, that table's been rigged. Port are right in the middle of the pack in terms of games lost due to injury according to it but everyone knows they've been one of the worst hit.

I think a lot less of Sloane now!

I note that none of the rumblings about our "injury free year" include any reference to Jaensch.

Also knight.

 

[FR0GGY]

we have had a fantastic injury run no matter what stats say.

 

[treeman]

Some guy just rang Fiveaa and said after banana gate tex walker walked over and gave the crowd the finger.
Rowie and Bicks didn't question it.
Caller reckons he saw it.
Did that really happen?
