2019 Non-Crows AFL Chat Part 2

I used to have a dog we got from the shelter. Someone had tried to turn it into a guard dog by constantly beating the **** out of it with a rubber hose. Instead of turning vicious it became a complete mess who was scared of everything. That's sorta how I see what CM did.

I don't think we've had a mentally tough team since Blight was coach though.

Some dogs can cope with that, get something out of it and change for the better, others can't. Hence collective mind is a bullshit as you bundle the entire group into one "collective mind".

We were super mentally tough under Craigy, we just had a gash forward line and a stubborn coach.

So Port are playing in China next week? That’s had huge exposure

St Kilda will be training at Alberton for the next couple of days in order to get acclimatised to Shanghai's air quality.

It was from about 35.

The irony that the air is cleaner at Alberton, than the Eastern burbs or unley region.

 

[footy4ever]

Freo did what we couldn't...

Like what? ...lose to the Crows? Well of course we can’t do that.

Pigs arse it is. I live in Goodwood and used to work right in Port Adelaide - you can smell the turds floating around in Outer Harbour from Commercial Rd

Can i buy some land from you?
What game were you watching?

Henderson wanted back to Victoria, Hawthorn were smart enough to know they could wait for us to delist him and not offer anything. Same with the Suns and Lyons.

He wasn't being picked in our team

Dropped after being in the best players in a very strange ending if i recall.

Was something about not triggering a clause in a contract.

Agree we've been mentally weak for years.

We were galvanized for a couple of years after the Walsh tragedy (similar to Port with J-Mac) but since half time in the GF, we've collectively fallen apart. Now we've got a culture of self preservation and people refusing to take responsibility (see Jenkins in the media this year, Burton last year).

That loss to North will come back to haunt us given how close the comp is.

 

[SaltPeter]

That loss to North will come back to haunt us given how close the comp is.

Perhaps another poor finish to the season will assist in forcing some of the change needed

 

[GROTTO]

That loss to North will come back to haunt us given how close the comp is.

Yes it will.

Trying to take my unbiased hat off here, but against the

Cats - The missed shot by Brouch late in the final quarter, would have changed the momentum if he goaled.
North - While "lucky" to only lose by 12pts (should have been more) we actually could have put them away in that game.
Lions - Drop marks by Tex and Lynch late in the 4th hurt us a lot.
Eagles - Dropped mark by Seeds was costly at the time in the 4th.

Even just one win out of those 4 games would have been a lock for us to make the 8 given the teams we are competing with outside it.

He hated the cold

This is something I can understand

Richmond did the same thing to GWS and Geelong after half time, teams couldn't cope with their new strange 1 tall forward strategy as they wore teams down but most seem to be coping with that now after 2 years.

I think the CM was a huge mistake, management didn't need to do it, hence my comment was it's actually done the opposite. That's why we've been inconsistent and so unsure.

We’ve always been inconsistent way before CM. In fact I think we’ve been more consistent this year but now we’re actually not good enough.

The neighbours have started a Sack Hinkley thread. 25 pages in just over a day. Why wasnt I notified?

They've lost faith in the lost faith in Hinkley thread.

(I stole that from them).

We have lost 3 times to Fremantle by 1 point. 3 times.

I saw that yesterday and was going to mention it. Instead I made my long winded post about their delusion in thinking all they need to do is get someone in who understands the old Port way

That delusion is evident in the Sack Hinkley thread. As is their very strong desire to see him gone

2 Losses in 2 Weeks. No issues here with Don.

I wasnt impressed with No Fog for Lynch. I would have played Gibbs knowing that Mrouch was OUT.

Would have turned the game? Im not sure, but I dont see us losing by any more, so maybe they could have helped when we had our 2nd quarter run and completely put them away out of the game.

I was happy to see Seed back but he’s not a like for like for Lynch. I don’t understand how they can continually turn a blind eye to our lack of forward marking power. I know it was a wet night and you don’t want to take on Gov in a marking contest every time, but we need someone to take a few. Berg creates a contest but not counting them yet. ROB is useful in this area but Fog is our best option
