2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread

Saw this on my Facebook feed. Anyone think Port paid for this as part of their marketing money?
Reminds me when the state government pays to be featured in the best cities of the world articles.

I still don't get what they hope to get.
And none of them can tell me how many years they're going to keep doing this.
There's a whole lot of airy fairy bullshit but from what I've seen they've only got sponsorship (and I use the term loosely) dollars to either spend over there or get them there and back.

Why's Walker 5 rows back?

It's Andrew Walker. With a beer in hand. And wearing his hat.

I think they plan on just obtaining a chinese sponsor and playing a one off game. However the reality is, if they start losing badly and getting injuries playing overseas I think we will see a PR stunt where they graciously offer it up to other clubs to go play up their instead. They already play in Darwin/Alice Springs so I think they will be nervous about overall success.

"no Chinese gives a toss about Port Adelaide or AFL" - David Koch, today on ABC radio, truest thing he's ever said.

Did he really repeat that again today?

Loved this from Titus O'reily.

Things I’d like to see from this season’s Women’s AFL:

Women footballers become so successful they commit scandals and are forgiven no matter what
After a transgression, a female footballer sort of apologises but in doing so actually blames a man
A group of women footballers joke about drowning a male journalist on radio then wonder why everyone is so upset
A female football glasses her boyfriend only to later gain a high-paying gig on national TV like nothing happened

Of course, it's the year of the **** in China, so he'd better watch out!

My God. It's like the flog virus from Dangerfield is spreading.

I think it's worth seeing something as cringy as that. Glad it wasn't one of our players doping a stupid ad like that!

Painful

 

[Glenno23]

Painful

Exact word for it

Make that two of us. I hope cats people are cringing. Absolute pits. Almost as bad as Poorts NTUA

Sometimes amateur stuff can be so bad it's funny. That is so totally bad it's disgusting.

Just happened to my much younger sister with 2 kids about the same age. Pretty tough stuff.

It's acknowledged that his mind wasn't fully on football last year with his relationship breaking down & 2 young kids.

Are you saying this was public knowledge?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yes, I knew about it last season.

Err... struggling? What's Mr Stringer on?

Lots of single mums don't have an ex-partner that makes what he makes

I think she may mean struggling emotionally?

Especially with the young kids. If she had any form of post natal depression, it would be even worse. Raising 2 young kids is not easy as a couple, let alone by yourself
