Analysis 2017 Non-Crows Discussion Thread - Part V for Vendetta

Do they have extra time in the SANFL grand final?

Because yeah, that'd be amusing

and sturt win after the siren with a dodgy free kick

Patton might have been on the losing team but that is a winning retort to a Tiger twit.

Patton may as well have been too, for all the impact he had on the game.

I feel sorry for the Port Power having to wear their away jumper in the Grand Final today. The SANFL are just tearing them apart.

That club has so much tradition, history and pride in their jumper only to be told to wear that 'thing'

Sturt are lucky. They have their traditional jumper on.

I haven't seriously followed Sturt since Shearman was a player.
Back on the bandwagon

Can people explain to me the hype with Dougal Howard because I can't work it out.

I've seen him play for the Power a few times and now today and he's rubbish. Seems to be a very slow decision maker and often looks like a deer in headlights.

They really do have a history of embracing spud players like heroes ie Butcher.

Did the Port fans do their scarf waving thing before the first bounce?

 

[spenze]

Big crowd is certainly spooking the Port players

 

[Geoffa32]

At the game. Sturt want it more

Liking the TV commentary. No theatrics or boys' club waffle, just calling the game.

For me, it seems that is the only smart thing Patton has done on a footy field. For a player with all that talent he is a dumb footballer.

Port board going crazy! Calling for the Burley ball to be replaced with a Sherrin at qtr time.

Yeah because that will help them kick straighter......

 

[hey shorty]

Ports senior players providing nothing, I think Chad will rip them to pieces at qtr time.

I rate him, but he's had a dirty start

Well they can never admit that Port are not good enough, there is always some excuse that gets invented to justify their losses.

The level of denial within their supporter base is palpable, even yesterday they were trying to claim that Port Power have one of the best lists in the AFL and are easily premiership caliber.

I was talking to Jack Osborn and Ben Hansen during the week and we were talking about the game today> I asked the about the preliminary final last year and they said the Crows boys didn't care. Their season was over the night before and could not give a shit about playing.

I wonder if the Port boys are the same.

 

[dblstR]

What happened to Brodie Martin?

 

[relapse]

I rate him, but he's had a dirty start

What am I missing?

I've seen every game he's played for the Power and now seeing him today and his effort is laughable. How he was playing instead of Jackson Trengove I have no idea, no wonder Jackson is looking to get out of Port.

they arent even SANFL premiership caliber at this stage

 

[threefa9]

If Port lose this will be an enormous choke, considering how much AFL experience is out there.

Geez, even the balls are tearing hem apart.

So many spuds running around out there, no wonder they struggle when they get a few injuries.
