2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part III

[relapse]

What is hilarious was back in 2014 when Rucci was trying to argue that the reason Port's crowds had become so big so quickly had nothing to do with the Adelaide Oval novelty nor a bandwagon mentality, but because of all the supporters they gained during 01-04 becoming finally becoming old enough to attend the games

The showdown is the only reason that their numbers appear high this year, if you take the showdowns out of the equation their current average minus the showdown is 37,800 over 5 games, last year it was 38,676 (minus showdown) for the 10 games.

Out of their remaining 5 games only the Collingwood and Richmond games will pull 40k so I wouldn't be surprised to see that number potentially drop to under 37k by the end of the season.

If you compare this year to 2014, that's when things start to look grim. The average figure (minus the Showdown) was 43,760 so in the space of three seasons we've seen an average drop of 7,000 people per game. These "new" Port supporters seem to have deserted them quickly, though I suspect that Port are just reverting back to a state of normality.

Maybe we can trade them Hass!

Linday Thomas will definitely be delisted by North Melbourne end of the year. Bookmark it in that he will be heading home to port next year.





Oh forgot to mention it'll be to port magpies or is it power reserves??? Not too sure

Sniping prick will not play AFL again. Another VFL suspension likely after yesterday.

Has a team ever been top 4 after 12 rounds and not won against a top 8 team?

Package one rubbish product with another rubbish product to produce one big rubbish product.

Sloane is ok. Boring plodder easily tagged. Has no x factor. No dash.

Also has no problem being rated higher than every player on your list.

Including this guy:



Surely you're embarrassed? This is up there with the Tom Jonas knocking Andrew Gaff out because - and i quote - "I took the soft option and was scared for my own safety". It's an embarrassment to football is what it is.

Some stats for the Port Power trolls visiting our board & why your club is devaluing your brand by giving away its product.

Crows have had 1 sub 40k crowd since the AO redevelopment, 38K last year against North on the Thursday night thunderstorm & hail night.
Port have now had 4 sub 40K crowds this season, after only 6 home games.
Last nights 31,772 is the second lowest crowd at AO since the redevelopment. They have now had 16 sub 40K crowds since redevelopment, interestingly the Port Powers only 4 crowds larger than 49,500 were 3 in 2014 and 1 in 2015, none since.

This year Port have lost to teams currently ranked 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 and have beaten teams 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 18.

Also, Crows members pay more equivalent seating than Port members. The attendance gap would be even wider if Port fans were paying the same as the Crows...

Thomas would fit in nicely with Wingard & Gray.

Just think of all the acting..

 

[feenix67]

I'm not a fan of the Sunday footy show, but that top 5 burn by Billy on Tony Jones was an absolute classic

 

[dogs105]

Port were raising money and awareness for the Childhood Cancer Association yesterday. Big kudos to them for that.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

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

Remember when Port won against a top 8 side? I certainly don't.

We have heard much about the great
Burgess since 2013/2014. I wonder why?

Once we start winning finals again, I might go back to slinging crap at Port.

OMG Rucci has broken a story! Burgess gone at the end of the month to Arsenal.

They would have three out of top 5 biggest stagers in the AFL in the one side.

Hmm maybe I went a little early there as that's what I heard on the triple m. So was it on the Sunday footy show then Rucci reported it?

Hard to pick the winner, as all so deserving!

The round ball is Burgos true passion, can't fault him for wanting to go to one of the best resourced and well known clubs in the world

Definitely a bit of a step up from AFL to EPL in terms of resources. Got one dude who owns 67% of Arsenal worth $7 billion and one who owns 30% of the team worth $10 billion.

Burgess aint silly. He does not want his reputation tarnished with the downward trend happening at the Power.

He got out of there at the right time last time and is doing it again.
