Will be interesting the spin on the Port crowd. It can be dissolved into 2 paths.

We have made mention through many threads on how to get the Board to listen and one suggestion has been to vote with our feet. The other is that you turn up no matter what and let the club know through other means, emails, banner by deaneus , signs tweets etc etc.

Yet at what stage does a Board listen? In Ports case it can be argued the product is poor. There is no incentive to attend when tickets can be found in 1 in every 3 WeetBix boxes. Its not a special purchase anymore. Its like the Disney DVDs you have to cut the vouchers from the Advertiser for.

Is it protest? (which I can see being the spin from our favourite Italian)
Is it lack of interest in the product?
Or are the numbers false and there are a %of Genuine Supporters and the rest bandwagoners?

Congrats to those who do go but where are your mates?

43. Betcha he cannot wait to play against us in a few weeks.

We can cheer his every touch and put up posters of him looking very handsome in a Crows guernsey.

 

[Scorpus]

Saying Impey is a good player because of his pressure is like saying Mackay is a good player because of his pressure.

He had 10 touches, most of which in junk time, and no goals tonight as a forward. That's not AFL standard.

Similar sorts of games saw Wright and Petrenko delisted

Poor old Micky Barlow with another horror leg break.

A lot of waffle about nothing. Our crowds are up there thank you very much. Stop worrying about it. We'll see you at the next Show down and finals. Hope you have your hands free to lift up the cup afterwards

MOD NOTE: disrespectful posting gets amusing edits, then thread bans, warnings, infractions, Venezualan death squads, and finally the Herostratus treatment.

31K after trying to give tickets away at a heavy discount.

You won't see us during finals, we will be playing past the first week.

Gonna be straight up honest here. You are 2 games from being in 12th place. Finals is no certainty. .. when you still haven't beaten a top 9 team.

You have no idea about our tickets. You have no midfield so you lose on both points. See ya later.

Our non midfield is part of the number 1 team in the comp...

I do actually, it was plastered all over social media all week.

And I recall our midfield belting yours a few weeks back.

Rest up, you have school Monday

You're one game from being shite. Straight up honest. Sloane is ok but hed be watching PP to win a ball and shake a tag. 19 year old is ok. Who apart from Sloane is worthy? The flag is miles from you guys.

You seriously comparing hack pp to sloane? Someone got that heston gif? Followed by that Douglas bump on pp gif?

We're 2 games in front of you, does that mean you're 1 game behind shite ??

No im not at this stage. But in my opinion Peppers career will be more spectacular than Sloanes. Feel free to book mark this post.

Good to see the ferals up and about as premiership favs after knocking of the 18th side - again.

Petrenko Mk II

 

[Deaneus!]

You're one game from being shite. Straight up honest.

Adelaide have beaten the Giants (2), Port (4), Tigers (5), Essendon (8), Saints (10), Dockers (11), Suns (14), Hawks (17), Lions (18).

Port have beaten Dockers (11), Swans (12), Suns (14), Carlton (15), Hawks (17), Lions (18) twice. You lost to the Crows (1), Giants (2), Cats (3) Eagles (6), Bombers (8). I see a pattern - downhill skiing of the highest order, beating up on the weak teams, losing to the good ones.

We might be one game from being shite, but you're at least one game from being relevant.

EDIT: Lordy, you've got a soft draw.

 

[mattymac]

If I was a port fan I would be ecstatic about where we find ourselves and absolutely not having a go at other sides about who they have beaten.

 

[StonesThrow]

Come on guys. How hard is it to spot a troll?

 

[feenix67]

Jeffcrowe is Impey's uncle now?

 

[pjcrows]

Genuinely thought the "Buy an Advertiser, get a Port membership" was someone's Photoshop handiwork.

 

[PrideOf]

Jeffcrowe is Impey's uncle now?

No, driving instructor.

Saw this and chuckled.
