Sick of hearing their farkern victory song. Anyway no Erin = no Crows girls ..and on another subject we need to fix the showdown register.

Oh,,,, poor OneGreatLittleMissSunshine - if it's not Eddie Betts getting too much exposure , it's hearing our song after a win after our Erin puts in a blinder.......
Ahahahaha

And have a guess how many girls are now buying Number 13 Guernseys ! (Tip - quite a few more than have bought a ticket to China !)
Port Power - exist to back the wrong pony time after time after time......

who got ****** worse with the tippett scandal, us or them?

Us. Its just nice that the Swans hurt badly from this too.

So are the drums beating again for North?

The dogs seemed to have a plan and won a flag, but North?

Must be on the cards to head to Tasmania.


(My reference for the dogs is their involvement with Ballarat)

An AFL team will never be located in Tasmania ......state is in a shambles footy wise, two of the biggest clubs in Tasmania are not even putting teams in, what is now a 7 team State Competition

There's not a sporting team professionally, that has been able to survive in Tasmania

Tasmanian Sheffield Shield & Hobart Hurricane teams have gone ok...

Tune in to 5aa. They have the A League show hosted by Daniel Norton with travis Dodd and Dom Rinaldo

Every time Norton mentions Port (which he’s done 3 tines now on an A League Show, go figure?) Dom goes “cha Ching”

Then made a comment about how AFL gets exposure because the clubs pay radio stations to talk about them. Also said the money goes into Norton’s pocket.

Confirms what we always suspected. Port are paying 5aa presenters to talk about them. I wonder how much Rowey is getting paid. Would want to be a lot!

That would need to be disclosed... I would say the station gets the money not the presenters otherwise on the website it would say Stephen Rowe earns x amount per year from the pa footy club.

Listen to Rowie for 5 minutes and it’s blindingly obvious.

Where is the funniest melting re: paps on Thursday AFLX shitness?

They can get away with Norton as he is officially on the Port payroll...

 

[GameofSloanes]

And yet we retain all our required players and still have room for Rockliff, Watts and Motlop and a war chest to spend this year.

If only all these superstars could help you beat a top 8 team.
Not to mention that the 3 players you are talking about weren't wanted by their old clubs

 

[GameofSloanes]

Went to the women's game today. Had a good time, standard is up from last year, plenty of people there with their young daughters. The more i see of AFLW the more i think we have really backed the right horse compared to Chyna. The club will reap benefits well into the future

 

[Cap]

The naysayers of AFLW are deluded.

My daughter who proudly used to tell be footy is boring is now going to bed with her autographed footy after excitingly telling me who signed her hat and footy ( watching the highlights).


Im sure im not alone in that experience.

OK, but let’s extend that

Do your results vindicate your classification of players as “required”

you recruited a number of players this offseason who other clubs did not want or compete with you for. You were the only bidder

Now this simply means you’ve taken a different view to the rest of the league, which of itself is not evidence that you’re wrong. In fact it might mean you are ahead of the curve, out front.

What evidence do your results provide that you are out front?

I’d suggest that your club thinks differently and that your results indicate you have generally got it wrong. Which would assist your retention strategies greatly if you are backing the wrong horses

Closeness of scoring wise, you’d have to agree. Even a thumping is only a 2/3 goal difference so really anything can happen.
The men’s game has become a blowout fest. How many games are decided by somewhere in the second quarter nowadays. Glad when we’re on the right side of the ledger but give me a close game like today’s AFLW or Port v eagles final any day.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I wouldn't normally post this .....but this guy has been thru hell, and thought this may never happen .....so massive congratulations to both of them !!

And no need to make a public song and dance about it. Take note Flogfield

 

[Coopers]

Disagree if you like, but the snideness is unnecessary.

Am I really being snide, or just being a jerk? Is it the same thing, or is there a subtlety to it that we're all unaware of?

Only time won't tell.

Either way, don't dress it up. We screwed the pooch. It's bloody amazing we have a team as good as we do at this point, given the sanctions. Also given our reaming from the players that have left.

Imagine if we'd recruited as well as we have... without all the obstacles. We'd be in a 5 year premiership streak.

If it was on the books, which it isn’t

Have a listen to their promo re Caroline Wilson and Stinkley having a sook about her having an opinion on their leadership groups

Precious little snow flakes down at Alberton.

You fool, these are the reasons they need their own team. AFL have let Hawthorn and North stripmine the state and they've destroyed one of footy's heartlands. It would take a tiny investment there to secure the state for generations.

It's that simple is it ? ......Hawthorn / North have had zero effect on the states football development / demise ....how about you do some research into the issues first

The only reason I watched 3 quarters yesterday was because my 5 year old daughter wanted it on. If it gives her an interest, and gets her outside and running around then that's good.

 

[1970crow]

There'd be a difference between cash for comment and paid air time though. Cash for comment was about presenters misleading the public. Running a paid for segment, like those "current affairs" shows do is a little different.
