2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part III

Burgess off to the EPL. How will Port cope.

 

[GameofSloanes]

No, they must arise to the occasion and adjust their mindset.

This. Our best is good enough but sometimes, usually in tough contested games, we seem to switch off mentally and the effort that is there other times disappears.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

legit?

It's an urban myth, probably not true, but story goes that most pr0n was put on VHS because it was cheaper and allowed longer play times, and the rest of the world followed.

Mid year exit is interesting. Looking forward to the spin about how good this is for Port and how they lead the world in everything.
Should be fun.

well couldn't you replace the word 'pr0n' with 'video' ?

if it's cheap for one industry it's cheap for them all, right?

 

[relapse]

Ports home crowds this year 38,380, 53,598, 43,120, 38,330, 37,900, 31,770 can you guess what was the Showdown crowd?

Even 40k crowds are now starting to become an anomaly for Port too

Cheap because there are no 'rights' as in Gone with the Wind etc

pr0n has driven and kept alive a lot of markets, the internet being one

But that's the point. Beta was the better technology but because most of your pr0n was VHS, it couldn't compete

It's not actually the worst time to be leaving. Their processes would be in place. During the season is more about maintenance than making fitness gains. The most important period for someone in Burgess' role is October-February.

Off to Arsenal. Another club that doesn't know when to sack a tired old coach.

Part of it is funny but the last time Port spiraled into insignificance saw us follow suit, content to be doing better than those schmoes down the road. When they started going better was when we actually fired up and were forced into being a competent football club again - Ricciuto, Fagan, Walsh, Betts.

I hope we now understand that the richest, most successful and powerful clubs are our competitors - not Port.

Did they promise him a reality soccer TV series?

 

[Mike Smyth]

the word on the street is he isn't happy with the corporate over football path that King Koch has led them on.

Urban Myth,
The biggest reason why VHS won the Tape War was down to 1 hour.
Betamax only had 1-hour tapes VHS had 2-hour tapes and were Cheaper, If you're going to buy a system that tape programs and movies and a football match why going out, what would you buy 1 hour or 2 hours. A major blunder by Sony and a complete failure in market research.

I wonder if he will be getting paid more than the coach again?

When he was fckn around in Chyna...

Is the internationally acclaimed Darren Burgess Center For Kids Who Can't Fitness Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too going to close down?

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

Sounds like what the hedge funds/merchant banks did with the NINJS during the GFC. Packaged up bad loans and sold them with a AAA credit rating to the unsuspecting market - it all came crashing down and so will the Power.

 

[ams4crows]

Because he had a mare last week and can't deal with a tag

Bet we won't tag him and he'll run wild

 

[Peter Doherty]

Adelaide are averaging over 6 goals more a game than the Bulldogs this year, woah.

 

[chazwazza]

Going by what I saw out at Unley today Port lack depth. With Polec injured and AhChee (?) with a shoulder today their depth can be tested. I really don't know who they have to pick from.

I think the spin will be the guys he has trained will actually be better than him, it will be a positive that he is off mid year.
