Opinion 2018 Non-Crows Discussion Thread

[MRB37]

Jeez, I love Charlie Cameron and all, but I know a guy who is claiming he's going to average 25 disposals and 1-3 goals a game now that he's up in Brisbane. Tried to explain the whole inconsistent, poor kicking thing, but he's deadset on it happening. I can't think of many (if any) players who manage to average 20 touches and a couple goals a game to be honest.

 

[Deaneus!]

247 days until Ollie's contract is up.

Why hasn't he signed?

Or is he fielding offers 24/7 from Victorian clubs?

Can we start another counter?

Days since Port Adelaide was involved in a racist incident

Starting at 1 ...

(Still no official statement from the club)

Crows supporters weren’t there so they can’t use their usual tactic of ‘but but but just before that a Crows supporter was racist to someone in the crowd who just happened to be a Port official but the Crows supporter mysteriously escaped’ excuse.

People forget he should have been dropped midway through last season

I think the general issue is people only see the highlight packages. That's nice and all, but for every highlight where he bursts through a pack and can't be touched, there's another 2-3 where he turns the ball over by failing to be able to execute a kick while running.

Sure it can, where's your imagination?

Speak for yourself. I am 44 and I never leave the house without my Triple J cap on. I have been cranking Vance Joy and Angus & Julia Stone all day

Hanging on a bit tight aren't we?

I thought it was because I was getting old.... maybe it was because I worked out in central qld in the gas industry for a few years and the only station I got out there miles from anything was ABC rural...

Now I’m back I’ve found I can’t go without ABC radio and barely ever listen to triple J!... hahaha, Myf Warhurst has even moved over from JJJ for her own slot on abc radio..

Anyway... each to their own!... have a listen to the podcast.. it’s a really great story.

I used to always say to hubby that you know you’re getting old when you listen to or watch the ABC. I listen to Conversations a lot. But I do still listen to Triple J.

Days since Port had a major sponsor !

Port supporter does something racist is a bit like Trump saying something stupid at this point. Newsworthy in the moment, but such a frequent occurrence that it's hardly a noteworthy event.

What was the giveaway? Were they constantly pushing their hair across during the game?

i mean, it could happen. he'll be far higher in the pecking order at Brisbane than he was at the crows. its not going to make Brisbane 4 or 5 wins better though. they are still an extremely young team

Conversations is a good listen, I often pick and choose off the podcast.

With Cornesy?

 

[jenny61_99]

With Cornesy?

Richard Fidler.

Conversations with Cornesy is actually really good

I could have listened to him talk to Jeremy Cordeaux for hours

He did Rob Chapman yesterday. That one wasn’t as interesting as I was hoping.

So, now with footy season back, I have been having a bit of banter with a Power supporting work colleague (who I know is a regular on BigFooty, I just don't know who he is on here yet). I've never seen a more dejected man than last year when Poort were ambushed into re-signing Ken forever.

After Sunday's loss he emailed me with this:

"Close loss to west coast
Player rubbed out under dubious circumstances
Ryder gutpunching blokes
Racial abuse from the stands
Recruits cant get on the field
No major sponsor
Polec with a ham/heart string

Welcome to 2018 (or 17, 16, 15 etc)."

HAHAHAHAHA!!

Charlie hasn't ever played in a side as bad as Brisbane. I can see him going backwards not so much because he will get worse as a player but he just won't have the ease of supply. Lions will certainly benefit from his tackling and defensive pressure but I seriously doubt he will kick more goals and win more possesions there. I guess it really depends on whether Brisbane can improve as a team.

I think McGovern and Cameron have suffered to a degree by being the 5th and 6th bananas in our forward line.

Rarely the focal point, rarely isolated deep forward. Playing distant fiddle to Betts, Walker, Lynch and Jenkins. Sure there's lots of supply but only a small amount of it heads their way.

They are icing on the cake for us.

Cameron takes a decent grab and is ok on the lead. He'll get more opportunity to play deep forward at Brisbane. Felt that he got lost at times playing high half forward for us.

I see Vossy said in today's paper that hte Power game plan changes is a work in progress and will take more than one pre-season. Perhaps a Rucci counter for number of days before the game plan works against quality opposition? Seems contrary to their message that Watts et al will fix the issues.
