Big Victorian club, prime time, perfect weather.

They're an embarrassment. Give the licence to someone who'll use it

Is that old Biff in the background? Doesnt he have that almanac in his back pocket? The one that says Port are a struggling AFL side who never really delivers when it counts?

 

[FR0GGY]

he can handball to dusty running around the back. but seriously we need someone badly. griff has concussion problems will probably never play again. elton is a spud. we have 2 first rounders but they wont be good enough for elite key forwards in the draft. so only hope is casboult on 500k instead of reid on 800k. or if you blokes would spare one of yours

Yeah you trade for one of ours (otten) and dusty can come FA

Port pretty much injury free all year and still can't beat top 8 sides

and their numbers continue to decrease........

To stop their average attendance figures dropping from last year they need attract at an average of 38,278 to each of their last four games. They have North, Collingwood, St Kilda and Gold Coast to come, there is no chance of that happening.

Give it another 4-5 years and Port will be looking at averages in the low 30k's

And consecutive losses to Sturt and WWT.

 

[jackster83]

What a great weekend of football.

We won at the G, Port lost to another top 8 side and another game at the Portress, none of the Bulldogs, Melbourne, GWS or Geelong got the 4 points and the Suns are finally starting to show a bit.

 

[footy4ever]

Walking out at the 12 minute mark of the last quarter.

Rubbish. Port supporters never leave early. Only Crows fans do that, remember.

 

[Mike Smyth]

is travis boak the most pointless captain in the league?

He's got a mate down the road whose also pretty pointless at the moment.

 

[Mike Smyth]

I'm actually very positive about Galluci but we have to be honest and say missing SPP was a mistake.

Hard to believe that not only do we not play our 1st rounder from last year we don't play the one from the year before either. Yet McKay and Douglas keep on keeping on.

I'm pretty sure Milera got a fair few games last year.

Doedee

We bleat about our crowd numbers because that's about all we can hang our hat on. Little do the beaters realise it's the main thing that's holding back the much needed culture change that this club so desperately needs.

 

[secondary]

Doedee

Gees, I keep thinking he was second round. Can't believe we had two first round picks that year.
I think Doedee will be a really good player, this week is perfect for him to come in.

Sad but true

You mean the guy who is top 10 for goal kicking, top 2 for goal assists in the league right?

Tex's goal in the 3rd yesterday gave the team a huge lift. Outside 50, he went BANG when we needed it. So at least he contributes something during a game, unlike Boak who is doing a great Mackay impression right now

 

[Glenno23]

Sad but true

BS. Tex has been quiet in recent weeks, but at least he stands up at certain points in a game. That goal from outside 50 was the definition of a captain's goal. Boak has done SFA and every Crows fan who compares Tex's output to Boak's and puts it on par should hang their heads in shame

Tex is either injured or the shadow of the player we thought he would be.

 

[Glenno23]

I have no doubt he is carrying something. Carbon copy of last year really. But he still has glimpses (after a really great start to the year) which is more than Boak can say.

 

[Vhaluus]

I've been making injured excuses for Tex for years.

I've finally accepted he's a shadow of the player he looked like he was going to become before his ACL.

He's got a genius football brain most of the time but it's clear he's trying to make up for his body just not being able to do things. He simply won't ever get off the ground for any reason.

A forward who can't jump is nearly as bad as a ruckman who can't jump.
