I've been reading the PAP board last night and this morning.....Janus is nowhere to be seen.....surprise, surprise.

Hasn't updated the AFL Power Rankings thread on the Port board for a few rounds either. It was always impressive to see how Janus could cherry pick stats to prove Port are the best team in the comp every week.

Sub 40k crowd for them again last night against a top 8 team in a prime timeslot in perfect weather. I did read one of their posters explain that it has been a particularly cold winter so lower crowds are to be expected.

After last night, sub 40,000 crowds at Adelaide Oval

Port Adelaide Power 18 - AFC 1

Doesn't really need mentioning but....... the neutral element of their early crowds have fallen away.

Not fallen away - they don't bother going anymore. If you ever been to a Port game, you would know why.

Did think about going yesterday as was in Next Gen just before the game then thought **** no!

A forward who can't jump is nearly as bad as a ruckman who can't jump.
How often did Plugger jump? How often does Josh Kennedy jump? How often for that matter does Buddy Franklin jump?

From the Port board

"It's so sad that we don't even believe we can overcome a two goal deficit with 20 minutes remaining. Where did the last quarter comeback kings from 2013/14 go?"

Where did they go?? It's been 4 years since you've been able to do that and only now you're wondering where they've gone??

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And that's exactly right

They played a "new" brand of footy back then for them anyway that relied on speed

Those same players are coming up 4 years older - 4 years slower
he's got his head in the sand on plenty of other things though.
Yes
But I think he one of the more realistic coaches when it comes to the list .

Geez Dustin Martin is a freak. Get him in our side and we would be near unstoppable on our day. That double fend off with opposing hands was boner bringing. I seriously had a bar superman couldn't bend. Best player in the Afl, Danger can have his hacked kicks and throw handballs to the boundary. Dustin is the best by a fair way.

Still trying to find a statistic to make them a top team... tried thousands of combinations & won't come back til they find the one that says Port are awesome. How about % wins against bottom teams?

In all seriousness, hopefully Janus is OK, after coming to the realisation that Port are not amongst the top teams this year & are on the edge of making/missing finals.
