2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread part 2

[Big Gazoongas]

Here is Robbie Gray crying for a free rather than getting the ball, while Chad Wingard throws his arms about

Irrefutable evidence why they are the premiership favourite right there.

Funny hearing Tealsters trot out the "Every top four side has had a bad game this year" line

Yes that is true

But every current top eight side has also beaten another top eight side . Apart from OneClub.

Top 4 sides generally hang about up in the top 4 too.

Actually, after last weekend hasnt every side beaten a top 8 side.... but one?

The Rucci article started of good.

Who has the fifth-ranked Power beaten?

The six wins have been against teams clubs ranked 10th (Fremantle), 13th (Gold Coast), 14th (Sydney), 17th (Hawthorn) and 18th (Brisbane). The Power is the only top-eight side without a top-eight scalp.

And the five losses are against the sides currently ranked first (Adelaide), second (GWS), third (Geelong), seventh (Essendon), ninth (West Coast). And each of the losses, except the 70-point thrashing from the Bombers, was to a team that held a top-order ranking at the time.

It then ended in masturbatory fantasies.

Port Adelaide cannot control the fixture to change the debate on “who has the Power beaten?” But it can certainly deal with making September count – as the seventh-ranked Western Bulldogs did last year when all that is remembered is who they beat in finals not the home-and-away series.

Yes typical Ruc there's always a little trolling in there "Port Adelaide can't control the fixture"

Yeah w***er but Port Adelaide could've beaten a top 8 team or two but they didn't did they flog!!!

Love the Gray replay, at the time I thought he was appealing for his own free. But no he stopped to appeal to the ump to give whineguard a free, priceless.

Probably what's more priceless is that their supporters are not over here after their Power failure to defend them.

Oh
That's fantastic !


Can I take it to the Chad flopping thread on the Bay ?
Avatar worthy !

Here is the perfect example of Rucci using his column to spruik Port.

Apparently it's the fault of the fixture as to why Port haven't beaten a top 8 side, yep that really makes sense

He then tries to make a baseless comparison between Port 2017 and the Bulldogs of 2016, but fails to mention the one key difference between the two teams is that the Bulldogs last year had beaten top 8 sides during the season.

Once again all baseless nonsense designed to deflect any criticism towards Port.

 

[Tyls83]

And in making the 8, Port won't have the cushy draw that they've had the last 2 years next season either.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Can we stop this nonsense that Port haven't beaten a team in the top 8

It's the top 9 they've lost all their games to. Not 8.

Worth a look!

Hey, Qld is like the rest of the world then, inc GB in not having a day off for a royal birthday! Should be more of it.

Oh no - we have it... just not until October. It's been shifted in the last few years depending on who was in power!

He fails to say that the Dogs beat a few top 8 sides during the season too.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Wingard's dive reminds me of when Grandpa Simpson flipped over the handlebars of his bicycle and went flying

 

[radiojake]

credit where credit is due

the Port board know nothing can be gained from beating up on Brisbane and it won't answer any questions (a bit like St Kilda game, really)

plus one of them posted this...

I just don't understand his logic at all, it's Janus level of insanity.

He lists a heap of higher teams Port has lost to and then somehow spins it that Port can't control the fixture as if they've been deprived of playing these same teams. Madness.

Rucci logic does not make sense

His comment that Port cannot control its fixture only holds weight if Port were 9-3 and only beat bottom 8 sides however the fact of the matter is that they have had the opportunity to beat top & sides and have failed at every occasion

 

[fabs33]

Top 4 sides generally hang about up in the top 4 too.

Actually, after last weekend hasnt every side beaten a top 8 side.... but one?

Yes, you are correct. Fremantle were in the top eight going into last round which means Brisbane qualifies as a side that has beaten a top eight team when it played them.

I won't name which club it is but only ONE CLUB has not beaten a top eight team this year.

 

[Rotayjay]

Will Port lose their elimination final by more than 119 points?

 

[spenze]

That's so poor from Robbie Gray. I think that's even worse than the Wingard dive. It's one thing to stage for free kicks when you're in a contest, but here he stops running at the ball so he can whinge for a free kick for one of his teammates. How pathetic is that?

It is Porthetic, it was that bad.
